Tonight, Jaime and Cersei Lannister got up to some of their old tricks, by which I mean they hooked up. But was there anything else happened below the surface? After all, considering what Cersei was doing not long before, immediately making out with her brother-lover may not have been a capital idea.
As those who watched tonight’s episode — “The Queen’s Justice” — know, Cersei sought out Jaime immediately after murdering Tyene Sand and sentencing Tyene’s mother Ellaria to a lifetime of watching her daughter’s body slowly decompose in a prison cell. Now, just the fact that that’s what it takes to get Cersei in the mood is plenty disturbing on its own, but consider that Cersei killed Tyene by giving her a poison kiss, the same method Ellaria used to kill Cersei’s daughter Mrycella. Yes, she wiped the poison off her lips before her visit with Jaime, but she’s not a poison expert. Might she have accidentally infected Jaime with a slow-acting toxin?
Probably not, but it’s fun food for thought. Qyburn said that it’s impossible to tell exactly when the poison will kick in, and that it depends on the person in question’s constitution. Wouldn’t it be funny if Jaime seized up during a climactic moment later in the season and died on the spot, and then Cersei looked really nervous and excused herself from the room?
