In King's Landing, Cersei is stood by the shore awaiting the arrival of her daughter Myrcella, and as Jaime's boat arrives, she can see that Myrcella is no longer among the living.

It's a quietly unsettling moment that's largely a credit to Lena Headey, who does a fantastic job without having to actually having to say anything: we linger on her face as it contorts into an anguished expression, resulting in a rare moment of sympathy for the Queen.

She's had it rough over the last few episodes for sure, but we're also pretty certain any positive feelings we have for Cersei will get obliterated pretty soon.
