King’s Landing
- 12. Lannister/Tyrell alliance vs. High Sparrow and the Faith Militant
The capital is in turmoil. The last sane Lannister Kevan (Ian Gelder) has taken over as the ruling Regent and Hand to the boy-king Tommen (Dean-Charles Chapman) to restore order after Cersei shortsightedly rearmed the Faith Militant to destroy their Tyrell allies.
What happens to Margaery (Natalie Dormer) and Loras (Finn Jones), both who remain imprisoned by the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce)? Given Jones’ recent casting coup, it looks like the perilous situations that both book and TV Loras are in (boiling oil wounds and imprisoned by religious fanatics, respectively) are fatal ones. Margaery meanwhile emerges from her imprisonment pious, or at least pretending to be. Whether or not it’s an act is a secret the show will unveil.
