Although Arya casts her eye over Jaime Lannister at the Twins, ultimately he isn't the target of her wrath. Instead, he gets to make it back to King's Landing just in time to see Cersei crowned Queen of the Andals and the First Men.

Rather than rejoicing at his sister, and the woman he loves, gaining power, he looks none-too-impressed at the situation. Why? Because he killed the Mad King to prevent him from burning King's Landing with wildfire, and now Cersei's gone and done exactly that.

Jaime's arc is one of tragedy and redemption. He murdered Aerys to save King's Landing, but is remembered as a Kingslayer, a traitor, rather than a hero. He fathered three children, whom he loved, but could never reveal he was actually their father. And now Cersei has done the exact thing he sought to prevent - in his quest for redemption, does it mean he's destined to have to repeat the past, and kill the Mad Queen?
