This article contains SPOILERS from the latest episode. If you want to avoid spoilers, please turn back. The final scene of the latest Game Of Thrones episode, The Queen’s Justice left the audiences with mixed reactions. On one hand we witnessed the sad death of our favourite badass character, Lady Olenna Tyrell and we sure are going to miss the queen of sass but on the other hand, we were impressed with the way she handled the entire situation, including her death scene. She made sure that she had one heck of a badass goodbye, which left Jaime Lannister stunned.
Earlier in the scene, Jaime Lannister captured Highgarden with the help of Randyll Tarly and the moment Lady Olenna saw a huge army at her doors, she knew that her game was over. Jamie Lannister walked into her private chamber and where both the characters had a conversaion before they talked about how she was going to die. Jaime revealed some sinister plans that Cersei had in her mind, but Jaime chose to make her death easy and painless by adding some poison to her wine. Olenna Tyrell gulped the entire goblet without wasting a moment and that’s when she repayed Jaime’s mercy with cruelty.
“I’d hate to die like your son. Clawing at my neck, foam and bile spilling from my mouth, eyes blood red, skin purple. Must have been horrible for you, as a Kingsguard, as a father. It was horrible enough for me ― a shocking scene. Not at all what I intended,” she told Jaime before adding, “Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.”
That was the moment that broke Jaime’s heart as he finally found out the person who actually killed his son. All this time he and Cersei thought that it was Tyrion who killed their son and now it will be interesting to find out what happens if Tyrion and Jaime come face to face. Here’s the scene, just in case you feel like watching it again:
However, the fans rejoiced the moment Olenna told Jaime about killing his son and here are some of the reactions from the fans.
