4. What's Margaery's Gameplan?

After last week's episode, the assumption was that Margaery was playing the High Sparrow, rather than actually aligning herself with the Faith.

Rather than keep that mystery dangling, the show resolves it this week, to the audience and Olenna Tyrell at least. Although Margaery is keeping up the pious appearance to the High Sparrow, she reveals to her grandmother that she hasn't truly gone over, handing her a scrap of paper with the House Tyrell sigil on it.

So, we know that Margaery is up to something, but we don't know exactly what game she is playing. As it stands, it's still a risky one, which could be dangerous for herself, her brother Loras, and her husband Tommen (it's unclear whether he's in on it as well, but I'd guess not), but if it pays off then it could finally rid King's Landing of the High Sparrow.
