What is going to happen to Cersei in episode four?

HRY: Ah Cersei, we’ve missed you. The problem with season eight – and I don’t want to speak for you Kayleigh, but I’m pretty sure you agree with me on this one – is that we’re lacking a good, old-fashioned villain.

You know, a true blue, nefarious mastermind rather than an inscrutable ice zombie. A villain like Littlefinger, a villain like Tywin Lannister or a villain like his daughter Cersei. Whether or not you perceive of her as a bad guy (Kayleigh is way higher on her than I am, but I still appreciate that wine-swilling antagonist for the bad bitch that she is), Cersei’s presence has been sorely missed these last two episodes. And now, at last – praise the Old Gods and the New – she’s back.

We know she still has it in for her brothers. She gave that crossbow to Bronn to kill them with maximum theatrics. Maybe she’ll double back on it all… Or maybe she’s going to spend these last episodes making trouble until she finally dies.

KD: Also, there is no way on the Many-Faced God’s green earth that Bronn is killing either Lannister brother. He loves them. He loves them! And, if he proves me wrong, I wouldn’t put it past Cersei not to rig it so it backfires and shoots him in his own traitorous face. Because she’s a Lannister, and she does her own dirty work, thank you very much.

HRY: Can you indulge me in a teeny tiny bit of prophecy chat? We need to talk about the Valonquar prophecy in Game of Thrones. These were the words, uttered in High Valyrian by Maggy the Frog, predicting that Cersei would be killed by her Valonquar (or little brother). She has two of those, famously, and both of them have reason to kill her. Valonquar could also be the unborn ‘little brother’ to her late children that Cersei is currently carrying. Perhaps she is going to die in childbirth?
