Cersei has now become the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms in a plan that can only be described as bold and diobolical. Cersei was able to remove all opposition to her in King's Landing in one strike as she destroys the Great Sept with wildfire stocked underneath the great building.
The fatalities of the explosion were Margaery Tyrell, her brother Ser Loras Tyrell, Lord Mace Tyrell as well as the High Sparrow. Upon seeing the destruction that his mother had caused and knowing his wife would not survive the explosion, King Tommen Baratheon commits suicide by jumping out of his tower window.
Cersei is soon crowned Queen Cersei Lannister, which means the Lannisters are now the ruling family of the Seven Kingdoms. However Cersei's actions have not gained her many allies but instead more enemies. Alsom with all her children now dead, Cersei may turn into a mad queen.
The North Remembers
The aftermath of the Battle for Winterfell has begun as the Northern houses gather to speak of what is to come of the north. Jon Snow and Sansa Stark sit at the head of the meeting as the northern lords argue amongst themselves. It was not until a captivating speech by the young Lyanna Mormont that the lords of the north band together and proclaim Jon Snow as the king of the north, giving him the nickname "white wolf."
Little Finger also reveals his feelings to Sansa and the reason he helped her with his knights of the Vale. He makes a romantic advance at the young lady Stark, claiming he wants to sit on top of the iron throne with Sansa beside him. Although initially rebuffed by Sansa, this story should pan out further in "Game of Thrones" Season 7.
It should be known that long time fan theory of R+L=J has been confirmed, meaning that Jon Snow is not a bastard but in fact half Stark and half Targaryen.
Daenerys Sails the Narrow Sea
In a plot point that has been teased since "GOT" Season 1, Daenerys sails her army on stolen Greyjoy ships towards Westeros. This marks the first time in history that a Dothraki army has left the eastern lands and crossed the Narrow Sea.
Season 7 will definitely deal with Daenerys taking her army and marching across an already divided Westeros. The southern lands of houses Bartheon and Tyrell will not stand much of chance as both houses lie in ruin after Cersei's power move.
The only great house that could possibly stand up to the Targaryen army is house Martell. However, Varys tells the remaining Martells about the plans to take down house Lannister.
Looking at what is going presently, Daenerys could easily capture the entire southern portion of Westeros in "Game of Thrones" Season 7.
