Game Of Thrones Season 6: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'Blood Of My Blood'

9. What Will Happen With The Lannister/Tyrell Alliance?

With the reveal of Tommen on his side, the High Sparrow was able to defeat the alliance of the Lannisters and Tyrells (even Olenna admitted they were beat, so it must be true).

The Lannisters and Tyrells were odd bedfellows, forced into agreement by the extreme nature of the High Sparrow's views, in particular his imprisonment of Margaery and Loras.

Now that their plan to overthrow him has failed, that surely spells the end of any alliance between the two houses, but what does it mean going forwards? Are Cersei and Olenna going to go back to being bitter rivals? Will they each attempt to appeal to their own side (Cersei to Tommen, Olenna to Margaery)? Will we get to see Mace Tyrell in that fantastic headwear again? Will Kevan Lannister say anything? (Probably, yes, I bloody hope so, don't hold your breath - Tywin he ain't.)
