10 Predictions For The Game Of Thrones Season 5 Finale

10. Cersei's Walk Of Penance

Given the title of this episode, what we know from the books, and some pretty revealing leaked set images... yeah, this is happening. 

Expect the appalling prison conditions to finally break Cersei, and the once proud Queen to beg for the "mother's mercy." This involves her having her head shaved, being stripped naked and forced to walk from the Great Sept of Baelor to the Red Keep while the jeering denizens of King's Landing surround her. In the book Cersei's inner monologue makes it clear that she remains proud and adamant that she won't be broken, but there's no doubt it causes most of her power to be stripped away along with everything else. 

But what of Loras and Margaery Tyrell? In A Dance With Dragons the latter is released into the custody of Randyll Tarly to await her trial, but Loras suffers horrific injuries when he attempts to end the Ironborn's siege of Dragonstone. 

Obviously that siege hasn't occurred on the show (yet?), but a similar fate may well await him in King's Landing if he attempts to free himself or his sister.
