After spending the past couple of years being total rivals and dropping some of the show's very best insults against each other, Cersei Lannister and Olenna Tyrell are teaming up. Yes!

On paper no one should be able to stand against this new power duo, with barbs and wit so sharp they can cut any man down. But the High Sparrow isn't just any man. In his short time he's already proved himself one of the cleverest and shrewdest players around, and manipulation comes as easy to him as breathing.

The Tyrells may be gathering forces to take him on (which makes it easier for Cersei if things go wrong), but can they defeat the Faith? It's probably not going to be as straightforward as they hope.
