10 Predictions For The Game Of Thrones Season 5 Finale
2. Varys Murders Kevan Lannister & Pycelle
Yes, you might just see the "Spider" again a lot sooner than expected... and it'll be a bloody return.
When Qyburn visited Cersei in her cell he mentioned that her uncle Kevan had returned to King's Landing to serve under Tommen as Hand. With the boy-king unwilling to make any difficult decisions and his mother in prison, this effectively allows Kevan to call the shots.
In the book he's made Regent, and sets about trying to undo Cersei's schemes, but Varys puts a stop to that with a crossbow bolt to the chest; killing Pycelle while he's at it. Why? Because he believes the Lannisters and the Tyrells will suspect each other of the murders, heightening the tension between the two families and ultimately paving the way for Aegon "Young Griff" Targaryen to seize the throne.
Of course, that character hasn't been introduced on the show, but then there is another Targaryen Varys wants to see on the Iron Throne, isn't there?
