2. Her Unborn Child

The saga of Cersei's pregnancy goes on, with the latest twist being that Euron now believes the child to be his. Him realising it isn't could be her undoing, but so too could the child.

We don't really know how far along Cersei is, because there's been little explanation of the timeline (and they seem to have fudged things a bit in that regard), but she doesn't appear to be showing. That means there might not be time for her to die in childbirth, as has happened to a number of prominent mothers in Westeros history (including Cersei's own, albeit with Tyrion).

Still, it's impossible to imagine Cersei actually having the baby, especially since there are only two episodes left. It's a very morbid thought, but it's not out of the question that there could be complications with the pregnancy - especially as Cersei is drinking and, y'know, at war - that could end up costing Cersei her life. She was never supposed to have more than three kids, and the prophecy could hold true.
