I agree that she probably planned for Euron to get the army the whole time, but the question is: When Euron left, did he really go back to the Iron Island like he said because he'd actually seen the most terrifying thing he'd ever seen... or was that just his excuse to make and exit and sail away to get Cersei's army?
Quote:Anyone else thrown off by the Tyrion outside the door scene near the end there? He seemed bothered by Jon and Dany hooking up, but the character has no reason to be. It was weird and unlike him, unless I read the scene wrong and they just wanted to show that he noticed.
That was weird. My initial read on the scene was that Tyrion was jealous but that didn't really track with his character. I suppose in the end I can only conclude, like Whatevs, that he's weighing implications.

Did Euron really sail to Esteros to ferry Cersei's army West? Or did he, like he said at the meeting, sail back to the Iron Islands to wait out the Great War?
The Esteros plan would have to have been set up before the meeting and before they saw what Jon and Dany brought with them because he left FROM the meeting with no time to consult Cersei - unless they talked in the short time after the meeting and before Tyrion showed up.
I really hope he leaves Cersei hanging.
My best guess is one of them, Euron or Cersei will betray the other before dying too. Surely Cersei will be the one to bust Euron's balls, unless the producers and Martin are very generous and let Theon do it some how. Not likely though. Could be that Jamie will get his opportunity to do Cersei in in the end. Hope to see him ally with Brienne too, maybe a threesome with her wildling stalker?
Perhaps the rescue of Yara will be the thing that tells us whether Euron really did return to the Iron Islands? If he's there, he didn't sail East; if he's not then maybe he really did go get Cersei's army?
And I think it's a given that one of them will betray the other. And I tend to agree that Cersei will be the betrayer because that's what she does. Because she's a idiot. And the author of her own destruction.
I will also say, though, that with how time is dealt with on this show and how fast people travel, I'm surprised Cersei isn't like 6 months preggers by now or something.
