Things continue to go terribly for Cersei, who has been on a major downward curve ever since she allowed the High Sparrow to start gaining power in King's Landing.

That decision continues to backfire this week, as Olenna effectively ends the brief alliance between the Lannisters and the Tyrells, telling Cersei some harsh truths while she's at it.

Cersei is still headed for a trial by combat, but she may have a few other obstacles to overcome. Life in King's Landing isn't going to be any easier now Tommen and Margaery are aligned with the Faith, and it would seem like there's no way of getting her son back from the High Sparrow's clutches (and, y'know, he's likely to die), so Cersei's next move isn't an obvious one.

Also entwined in this storyline is Olenna, who states her intention to leave King's Landing. Are we going to be done with the Queen of Thorns for Season 6?
