Yes, Cersei Really Is Pregnant: There has been a lot of fan speculation that Cersei—who has been known to stretch the truth now and again—was faking her Season 7 pregnancy completely, in order to manipulate both Jaime and Tyrion. However, the show’s script offers no evidence of this. Quite to the contrary: when Cersei first tells Jaime about her pregnancy, the script reads: “She nods, it’s true. [. . .] Her happiness is contagious. They get another chance at family. This time with no one standing in their way.” And when Tyrion later deduces her secret, the script makes it clear that Cersei is caught off guard. Him finding out was apparently not part of some master plot: “Tyrion sees what he sees and knows what it means. He can hardly believe it, but knows it to be true. [. . .] She stays silent for too long, long enough to tell him that he’s right. And once she knows he knows, she can think of nothing else to say.”

Incidentally, that Season 7 finale scene cuts out right there, with no hint as to what kind of bargain Tyrion and Cersei struck behind closed doors—though Cersei later reveals that she has no intention of helping Daenerys, Jon, and Tyrion with their battle up North, Tyrion doesn’t know that yet.

Yes, Sadly, Tyrion Is in Love with Daenerys: Another hotly contested element of the series these days is whether Tyrion Lannister is actually in romantic love with Daenerys Targaryen. (And whether that love soured to jealousy in the Season 7 finale, where Tyrion creepily watched Jon and Dany consummate their flirtation.) The script makes it clear, however, that Tyrion does love Daenerys—romantically—and has since Season 6’s “The Winds of Winter.” As the dragon queen was preparing to leave Meereen, she made Tyrion her “Hand.” Tyrion, for his part, was a little distracted: “He studies her face. [. . .] Dany is staring into the distance so Tyrion is able to watch her from up close. Goddamn but she is beautiful. [. . .] He watches her for a beat too long and turns away. Lost in her own thoughts, she doesn’t notice that he’s flustered.” Obviously, this isn’t courtly, chivalric love.

We see this love explicitly stated again during Season 7’s “The Spoils of War,” as Tyrion watches Jaime Lannister square off against Drogon and Daenerys: “the brother he loves races towards his probably death at the hands of the queen Tyrion also loves.” Of course, love isn’t the only emotion Tyrion feels for Daenerys. There’s also a healthy dose of fear there, especially as Daenerys burns Randyll and Dickon Tarly alive in “Eastwatch.” Inside Tyrion’s thoughts, the script links Daenerys to her pyromaniac dad, King Aerys Targaryen: “Their last, best hope is also her father’s daughter.”
