Additionally, like I said before, the fool giving Sansa that necklace last week was super random for this show. It just seemed out of place. This gives it meaning.


Yep. Since they included that in the "Previously On GoT" bit at the start of the episode, I guess it had to be important for something later on?

Tywin may have been involved. He sure did want Jamie to take a leave from the Kings Guard last week.

I still say Red Witch's leeches FTW!

Lets say for a minute she DOES want to poison Joffrey with a poisoned diamond. Why give the necklace to the guy to give to Sansa if you're still going to end up putting the poison in YOURSELF? Just take the diamond off before the wedding, leave 2 liabilities (Dontos and Sansa) out of it and keep the diamond in your fricking pocket. Your scenario makes absolutely no sense.

You have officially jumped the shark.

and even if they did I'm sure the Kingsguard would be searching anyone that close to the king.


But even if they found a loose diamond on her that wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

Yep, no reason to show that in the "last week on GOT" intro otherwise.

It isn't without holes, but its clearly what the writers have implied.

That's a big gamble given that he already is pretty much running Westeros and the status quo is pretty beneficial to him.

Plus, he is a bigtime family over all else thing. Killing his own grandson doesn't seem like his MO.

Yep. Naturally there's some stuff we just won't know more details about (who did it and why, etc.) until later episodes. Maybe at least the next episode could give more clarity on what Lady Olenna says. From the preview, she didn't seem too upset.

Well, that was surprising. I only wish Joffrey had suffered more.

You have to do a lot more to explain away all the hints than I have to do to explain the holes in the theory.

You have to explain the necklace scenes last week (and why they were included in the intro this week for reminder), the still shot of the necklace with the missing diamond, Olenna's fiddling with the necklace and her line about killing someone at a wedding, etc.

Make sense if she was trying to frame Sansa, but the fool would have had to be in on it, why is he trying to get Sansa to leave then?

Maergery says "I would have been queen" to her in the preview for episode 3, so I don't think she knew.

Plenty of people had it in for Joffrey, not sure what grandma's motive could be.

Could be misdirection....


They WANT us to think it had something to do with the necklace.

Too many obvious players IMO.

Even if she did, she would've highly opposed it. Why kill the king if you're the one who wants to be queen?

Yep. We just don't have enough info yet. Next week should clear things up a little bit more, with Tyrion locked up and trying to figure out who framed him (per the preview).

Not even close man.

You can't explain why Olenna wouldn't just wear the necklace herself. Olenna has always shown an affinity for Sansa, your theory requires her to make Sansa a patsy.

That's the thing with someone so hated being murdered.

There are a lot of suspects.

That's fine, my whole point is that CLEARLY the intention is to make us think it was Olenna with the necklace. Whether or not it actually is remains to be seen, but it is so obviously the implication.

Eh, I didn't even notice all that until I watched the episode again. People are saying it's "so obvious", when it wasn't really at first.

Through Sansa, and later Margery, she has learned the depths of his depravity. Lots of reasons to want him dead, least of which not being her granddaughter's future. Maybe not everyone thinks being queen is worth that.
