I'm 8 minutes in, but I just have to stop by and say this:

Wow, Grey Worm is pretty cool after all, isn't he? His character has always felt kind of thin and unconvincing to me, but that sentiment completely evaporated over the course of this scene.

Littlefinger has gone full-on Irish this week.

Loved the scene between Jamie and Tyrion. Looks like all the hulabaloo about Jamie last week was never meant to be what the outrage suggested as he's back to the ol' redeemed Jamie again as if nothing ever happened, and Cersei is an even bigger cunt than usual.

I really hope she dies. Joffrey got it easy but I hope hers is bloody as hell.

Holy shit @ Lady Olenna. I just want to repost this bit of speculation from a couple days ago, because it's funny to reread:

Nerokis said:
I really don't think that's the case. Not anymore.

There was a rather large audience, and it would have been almost impossible for no one to notice Olenna putting a bead into Joffrey's chalice. It'd be a very risky, inelegant way to assassinate Joffrey, and it doesn't make much sense for Olenna herself to commit the act. It's also poor timing for House Tyrell. Margaery was very close to becoming a fully realized Queen, and I'm pretty sure there would have been plenty of opportunities later on to murder her husband.

The Fool gave Sansa the necklace to gain her trust - a dual purpose is possible, but unnecessary. Consider that Littlefinger was conveniently waiting nearby, prepared to receive Sansa, when it wasn't even guaranteed she'd wear the necklace to the wedding. You would think Joffrey's assassination was guaranteed by some other means, no?

Besides all that, think of how these things were/are being written into place: there is a scene showing Olenna has an eye for necklaces, Littlefinger reveals he specifically had the necklace made a few weeks ago, she takes a bead, Littlefinger brushes the necklace into a boat, and all the while Tyrion is preparing to undergo a trial.

I could be completely off-base here, but I'd be surprised if that bead didn't have some purpose down the line. It's potential evidence. It's possible the maker is traceable, or that the bead's material originates from a particular island (The Eyrie, perhaps?). Perhaps the full necklace will be found, and that bead will confirm it's connected to Sansa.

Now, did Olenna have a role in Joffrey's assassination? Very possible. I think the role of the bead is probably being misinterpreted, though.
