The Story So Far: The Earl of Gloucester has gone to rescue King Lear, who is wandering around outside in a storm, shouting a lot. Little does he know that his bastard son Edmund is plotting to betray him...

I'm pretty sure the Duke of Cornwall isn't fooled by Edmund's protestations of regret for one moment. Cornwall is figuratively a bastard, so he probably knows one when he sees one. 

Stop by again on Wednesday, when we'll check back in with Lear to see how he's doing. (SPOILER ALERT: He's still busy losing his proverbial marbles.)
