Another week in the books, another abysmal set of my predictions. I missed on all four of my guesses for the last episode, but I think most people did. The Door gave us an episode that we will never forget, and a twist we never saw coming. The final few minutes saw two major characters meet their fates, and I believe this week will take it a little easier on us. I know, Game of Thrones has a habit of not letting up, but our hearts haven’t quite gotten over the loss of Hodor. This episode should be action packed, but I don’t think we’ll lose another beloved character just yet.
It looks like time is up for the High Sparrow in King’s Landing. With the Tyrell’s and Lannister’s both calling for his head, it seems we’ve seen the last of this religious leader. The preview shows he and Margary on the steps, with a vast army surrounding them. In order to take back control of the city, the powerful families will make the call to cut down the cult once and for all. This seems like the most logical outcome for this story-line, but Game of Thrones has never been predictable. I could see there being some kind of magic within the Sparrows that we don’t know about, and that possibly causing a death for Margary or Loras. Another option could see Cersei turning the Mountain loose on the Tyrell’s during all the mayhem, and completely ridding the capitol of anyone who isn’t loyal to the Lannisters. My guess is the High Sparrow and his followers are the only casualties here, but it could easily go a different direction. Bottom line; someone will die on those steps.

We know Arya has been given a victim, and I think the actress will die in this episode. Arya knows she can’t afford to make a mistake again, as she already has one strike against her. I know this isn’t much of a prediction, but I think her victims don’t stop there. I think Arya will do one of two things. She will mess up the poison and kill more than just the correct actress, or she will go a little crazy and kill Waif. If you don’t know her by name, you will recognize Waif as the hateful woman who keeps beating Arya with a stick. Yeah, I know, she gets on my nerves too. After a successful mission, Arya will be reprimanded by Waif and finally decide she’s had enough. They get to dueling again, and Arya takes it way too far. Not sure if this will cause her to lose her place in the House of Black and White, but she will be satisfied with her actions.
We saw Tyrion make a successful deal with the slavers, but I don’t think they really came to Mereen to negotiate. In my opinion, they were using the trip as a way to scout their enemies, and figure out the best plan of attack. Just when everything seems at peace for Tyrion and Varys, I sense a war about to erupt. The slave armies, led by the Sons of The Harpy, will wash over Mereen, killing everything in sight. One of these casualties will be Missandei. With Grey Worm doing everything to protect her, it just won’t be enough. There will be some redemption in this scene, however, as either the dragons or Dany will save the day. I know this seems unlikely with a big battle about to take place at King’s Landing, but I could see the showrunners keeping their feet on the gas with this episode.
I know I said we wouldn’t see a beloved character meet their fate this week, but bold predictions are supposed to be a little far-fetched. With this week’s bold prediction, I’m gonna take a stab at a character we haven’t always loved, but has redeemed himself over the course of the series. As the fighting erupts in the capitol, I think the battle will go from two sides to three. Just when the royal families have the upper hand, Tyrell and Lannister will turn on each other, each fighting for control of the throne. The Tyrell’s will have Cersei on the chopping block, but Jaime will step in to save his beloved sister. In a true, and final, act of his love, Jaime will die protecting Cersei. He will either step in the way of a sword, offer himself as a sacrifice, or just catch a stray blade. Maybe the Mountain has something to do with it, maybe it’s just a complete accident. I really don’t want to admit it, but I can see Jaime biting the dust this week. This would also serve as great misdirection for the title. The Door gave us huge spoilers last week, and we didn’t realize it, so maybe we should start paying attention to these titles. Blood of my Blood was originally a quote used between Khal Drogo and his Khaleesi, but that’s were the misdirection idea comes in. We will be looking for something big to happen with Dany, but the meaning of the title is much more literal. Jaime and Cersei are lovers, but also blood relatives. The title could easily be referencing a lover giving their life for their partner, especially when those lovers actually share the same blood.
The sixth episode of the sixth season of Game of Thrones is titled Blood of My Blood, and it premieres Sunday, May 29 at 9pm ET.
