Game Of Thrones Season 8 Trailer: 6 Big Hints (& 7 Questions We Have)

9. Why Is She Tearful?

While Cersei is looking happy and confident early in the trailer, things aren't going so well later on, when she's drinking wine and has tears in her eyes. Apart from being a testament to Lena Headey's extraordinary ability to convey so much without needing to say a single word, it also begs the question of what she's so upset about?

There are a number of possible options, ranging from bad news about Jaime to a simple realisation that the dead are coming for her, but it seems unlikely they'd kill Jaime before he gets one last scene with his sister, and she's surely too confident to be crying over the White Walkers marching. The answer, then, might be to do with the baby growing inside her, and the fact she's drinking wine. Yes, it's Cersei, but she didn't touch her wine in Season 7 after discovering she was pregnant.
