Predictably, Olenna Tyrell has not taken the news of her daughter's new-found faith and alliance with the High Sparrow well, accusing Cersei of potentially ruining both of their families through stupidity.

Is King's Landing about to be torn in two by civil war between the Tyrells and the Lannisters? Or does Olenna have some sort of plan to save face?

There's still a distinct possibility that Margaery is just doing what she always does: appearing to align herself with a new power that only eventually serves her own agenda. The fact that her sudden embrace of religion came immediately after her brother appealed to her to do whatever it takes to free him certainly suggests she might not be entirely genuine.
