Margaery Tyrell: what is she up to?

Blood of my Blood presents us with two options for the current Queen's plans: either she truly has been converted by the High Sparrow, or she's playing the old man for a fool.

The first would be terrible, because it would really go against her character to be swayed so much in such a short space of time. The second isn't much better, because it still means she's potentially sold-out Tommen and Loras, but it's definitely more believable.

It's clear she didn't know of the Lannister/Tyrell plan to rescue her, but what does she have up her sleeve? Margaery has proved to be one of the shrewdest operators around, having learnt at the hand of her grandmother, the Queen of Thorns, so it'd be a big surprise if there wasn't another twist to this, one that can finally bring down the High Sparrow for good.
