10 Predictions For The Game Of Thrones Season 5 Finale

4. Myrcella Baratheon Loses A Ear... Or Worse

Game Of Thrones Valar Morghulis

Chances are it won't be plain sailing for Jaimie, Bronn, and Myrcella on their trip back to King's Landing. 

Ellaria Sand may have sworn her loyalty to Prince Doran in the last episode, but don't think for one minute she's given up her plans to get revenge on the Lannisters and bring about a war. Expect Ellaria - taking on the role of Doran's daughter Arianne Martell from the books - and the Sand Snakes to spring some kind of trap for Jaimie and his companions on the road. The circumstances are very different from the novel and we're missing a few key characters (Ser Arys Oakheart, Balon Swann etc) , but things will still probably play out much the same: an attempt of Myrcella's life, resulting in some pretty nasty injuries. 

In the book it's the loss of an ear, but HBO's adaptation has already claimed the lives of several characters still breathing in George R.R. Martin's saga, so we could well be saying goodbye to young Myrcella for good!
