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

8. How Will Loras Atone?

Game of Thrones Margaery

Remember Loras? You know, Margaery's brother, supposed great knight, saw him all broken in a cell a few weeks ago?

Although he's mostly been forgotten about since, and the battle against the Faith has been centred more around Tommen and Margaery, he does get referenced here, with it said that he will have to atone for his sins.

I'm gonna throw Loras a bone here and actually care about what happens to him, even if the show doesn't (the series has made a mess of him, but there's still a part of me likes to think of the celebrated young knight that could've been). How will he atone for his sins? Is he going to have to undergo a walk of his own? Will he stand trial? Or could he - if (and that's a big if, and one I don't want to happen) CleganeBowl doesn't come true - even get trained back up to take on the Mountain? Few warriors would go up against him, but the Knight of Flowers (or at least, the real Knight of Flowers) is one who just might, especially in such a desperate situation.
