This week's 'Game of Thrones' power rankings: Can you die and still be No. 1? by Carrie Wittmer on Aug 1, 2017, 11:41 AM Advertisement
 Warning: Spoilers for "Game of Thrones" season seven, episode three, "The Queen's Justice." If you aren't caught up on the series, read at your own risk. When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. Now that we're getting closer and closer to the end of the series, that powerful quote from Cersei back in season one (we were all so young!) is proving to be true. Any week, anyone can go, and anyone can lose or gain a lot of power. And with great power comes great responsibility. In "The Queen's Justice," there are significant power shifts, as Daenerys loses a major battle and Cersei gets her revenge (but ultimately gets owned in the final moments of the episode). Every week, we'll round up who had the best week and who had the worst in our power rankings. Here's the "Game of Thrones" power rankings based on season seven episode three, "The Queen's Justice" in order of who won and who lost.

Olenna Tyrell  This week, Olenna Tyrell dies like she lived: effortlessly sticking it to her enemies with her biting words. Cersei is responsible for her death, but Olenna makes sure that she won in the end by letting Jaime know she was the one who murdered their son, Joffrey back in season four.
2. Samwell Tarly  Sam successfully cures Ser Jorah Mormont's greyscale without contracting the disease himself. It's a complicated procedure and all he did was follow the instructions — which can be shockingly hard for men to do, especially men in Westeros.
3. Cersei Lannister  It seemed like Cersei would win the power rankings this week, until Olenna Tyrell confesses to Joffrey's murder. In "The Queen's Justice," Cersei gets her revenge on Ellaria Sand, who killed her only daughter, Myrcella. Cersei also appears to form an alliance with the Iron Bank of Braavos (though their intentions could be misleading), and she successfully plays Daenerys and Tyrion for fools by abandoning her home of Casterly Rock in favor of taking Highgarden from the Tyrells, forever eradicating their bloodline. Cersei is ranks high this week, but her selfish desire for power and thirst for violence indirectly resulted in the death of all her children and many more people. Also, her lack of interest in marrying Euron Greyjoy could lose her one of her only allies.
