The fall of House Lannister in Game of Thrones may ultimately be caused by Cersei Lannister's own super-fan.
During last weekend's episode 'The Queen's Justice', you probably noticed that poor servant who walked in on Cersei and Jaime in bed… and probably then had to wash her eyes out with bleach off-screen.
Aside from any self-punishment, Cersei clearly trusted this servant enough not to torture or kill her for witnessing the incestuous romp. That's probably because this seemingly innocuous servant is actually a recurring character called Bernadette.
Bernadette, who is played by actress Sara Dylan, has been one of Cersei's loyal servants all the way back to season two — going so far as to constantly imitate the queen's fashion sense, as our friends over at Reddit point out.
Placing such faith in Bernadette may ultimately turn out to be a massive mistake, if Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) ever gets a chance to finish off the last name on her Kill List.
We've already seen Arya steal the face of Walder Frey in order to wipe out the entire Frey clan for their involvement in the Red Wedding — imagine if she ever found out that Cersei has a trusted super-fan in King's Landing.
Luckily for Cersei, Arya seems to be occupied with making it back to Winterfell for a reunion with brother Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) and sister Sansa (Maisie Williams) at the moment — but who knows what the future holds?
If we were Cersei, we'd be giving Bernadette her pink slip right about now…
