Game Of Thrones: 5 Ups And 5 Downs From The Gift

5. High Sparrow Vs Lady Olenna - Up

Anytime Lady Olenna finds a new sparring partner is a great moment for the show, especially one who can more than hold their own against her. After some old-age-related banter they get down to business, namely the arrest of Margaery and Loras, and it€™s the Sparrow who comes out on top. As he points out, he has nothing that she can use against him, making him an opponent she cannot beat. So, if you can€™t beat €˜em, join €˜em, and that€™s sort of what Olenna does after her and Littlefinger get up to their old conspiratory ways, which results in Olenna handing the High Sparrow the secret Cersei's been hiding right under his nose.
