I never bought into the "Henry knows" theory because it seems ridiculous that he could find that out and play it off so nonchalantly.
But they really tried hard to hint to us this episode that he knows…something at least. The knowing look when Phillip ran off to see Paige and Elizabeth, followed by the exasperated

"Another mark in the “Margaery is genuinely brain-washed” column: She tells Tommen that her brother “just needs to atone.” No way does she say that if she’s not a true believer now."

He's a religious zealot who rounds up people who commit "sexual immoralities" and imprisons them, because "the gods" tell him to, and he's almost certainly full of shit and a hypocrite, too. That's far more real world and hate-inspiring than say birthing a demon to kill a dude or whatever.

How insane is it that we are now actively rooting for the Incest Twins to kick ass and take no prisoners?

And if something should happen to Tommen right after she gets pregnant, well wouldn't that be a shame?

She didn't know what Olenna and Jamie had planned, and she couldn't back out at that point. There's simply no way she's legit brainwashed, though.

Jesus. After six seasons with the character that's where you go? "Meh. Would not fuck".

That play is a tonal disaster. "Joffrey" dies comically, then "Cersei" grieves with heavy pathos. Ridiculous. Two stars.

Of course the audience knows everyone's names. This is a clear representation of what the Lannisters want everyone to believe, and they have no problem believing it.

Really shocked and a little disappointed in Brandon that he's buying Margery's act.
She didn't know Olenna and Jamie were riding to the rescue, so she has brewed her own plan

Sure. But that's kind of a dead end, narratively.

If they discover the old lady was murdered, what then? I don't see how that leads anyone to Phillip and Elizabeth.

I really don't think the story is going to be "who killed the vagrant?", and I don't think that's lazy writing at all.

The weird part, these people seem to sincerely believe this might actually happen.

Why do you equate a dick with a "big fat sloppy close up" of a vagina? We've actually seen quite a few vaginas on the show.

Shit, the White Walkers sure can move quickly all of a sudden.

I'm just hoping they jettison the whole "Stephen King" character. That was weird in a book, it will be intolerable on the screen.

But not the same Fistula Foundation. A different fist thing entirely.

I can't believe they wouldn't tell Stan.

As I think about it further though, Gaad's trip was hardly a secret mission. I'm sure lots of people knew about it. It might be a bit of a leap for Stan to suspect Philip.
