The biggest surprise in the episode for many came within the first few scenes, as Cersei Lannister's plan to destroy the High Sparrow and all of his followers at once came to fruition.
As the religious party, people of the city and leaders came together for both Loras and Cersei's trial, Cersei remained in the Red Keep and set her biggest move yet into action.
Having discovered Wildfire under the Red Keep, she lit the fuse and destroyed the Sept and killing everybody inside - including Margaery.
Speaking to Harpers Bazaar, actress Natalie Dormer commented: "Margaery's been battling Cersei for the last however many years and she ends up dying on the show not because she didn't beat Cersei, but because she trusted that someone else - the Sparrow - was handling her.
"She had the reins taken away from her, from being in control of the situation; the High Sparrow took the reins and it proves that he underestimated Cersei in a way that Margaery never would have.
"There's a moment before Margaery and the High Sparrow die when they look at each other and Margaery realises that Cersei has outplayed him and she's gonna die because of that.
"There's this moment that Jonathan Pryce gives as well; this look on his face when he realises he's been outplayed by Cersei. Margaery is a fatality of the High Sparrow underestimating Cersei."
She added on the shock death: "As an audience member you spend so much time with these characters, you get to know them very well and to have them so irreverently snatched from you and killed is really harsh."
Game of Thrones season 6 episode 10 airs again tonight (June 27) at 9pm on Sky Atlantic HD.
