Game Of Thrones: 10 Questions We’re Asking After 'Sons Of The Harpy'
9. How Long Can Margaery Keep Her Head Above Water?
For the first time, Margaery has cracked. Her mask slipped and revealed the powerful, scheming woman beneath, after her brother Loras was imprisoned by the Sparrows. She is frustrated with Tommen for A) Letting it happen in the first place and B) Not being able to right the situation immediately. Tommen says there was no way to free Loras without violence, and just for a brief moment, Margaery surely would've had visions of Joffrey commanding the Sparrows to be massacred on the steps of the sept. Margaery looks set to call in reinforcements in the form of her equally-devious grandmother Olenna. There are also questions above Tommen's head as his lack of authority has already hindered him so far, while there were plenty of cries from the citizens about his questionable, incestuous birth. Does Tommen even know that he's 100% Lannister?
