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.
This week's episode of "Game of Thrones" provided a lot more action than the first two episodes of the season. It also had a ton of twists.
Instead of protecting Casterly Rock, Jaime Lannister attacks and takes Highgarden. And instead of brutally killing Ellaria Sand via The Mountain, Cersei Lannister leaves her to rot in the dungeon for the rest of her days, but not before watching her daughter Tyene die slowly of poison.
Things are looking good for Cersei this week.
She got revenge on one of her worst enemies. She outwitted her brother Tyrion in battle strategy. She seems to have the Iron Bank of Braavos on her side. And she eliminated the Tyrell and Martell bloodlines for good — even the bastard Sand Snakes — and in doing so took out two great houses backing her greatest enemy, Daenerys Targaryen.
Her moves were clever, but based on what we saw in "The Queen's Justice," her days could be numbered.
Here are all the questions we have after this week's episode of "Game of Thrones":

What's happening to Yara Greyjoy? And where is Theon headed?
We see Euron Greyjoy bring Yara to the Red Keep along with Ellaria and Tyene, but we don't see what happens to her after the walk through King's Landing. Is she Cersei's prisoner? Wherever she is, she's lucky she doesn't have to watch Tyene die and rot, but Cersei will probably hold her as a hostage for now, or maybe let Euron keep her for himself.
We get a brief glimpse of Theon Greyjoy being saved by fellow Ironborn who appear to be on his side of the war. They don't greet him warmly, but chances are he's either headed back to Dragonstone or continuing the mission to Dorne to recruit some allies who might be upset that Cersei killed their people.
Will the Iron Bank support Cersei, who has for years ignored the crown's debt to it?
Cersei's meeting with the Iron Bank in "The Queen's Justice" goes unusually well for her, considering the crown has ignored its debt, most of which Littlefinger created as master of coin. In season four, Tywin Lannister tells Cersei that one of the reasons he agreed to ally with House Tyrell was its wealth — it could help pay the bank back.
In season three, when Tyrion Lannister discovers the debt Littlefinger created, he says: "If we fail to repay these loans, the bank will fund our enemies. One way or another, they always get their gold back."
Cersei sounds like she has a plan to pay the Iron Bank, perhaps stealing money from Highgarden. But Daenerys could get in her way. And even if Daenerys doesn't, the Iron Bank could stick it to Cersei by using the money she paid them back to support her enemies.
Will Euron turn on Cersei?
It has already been well established that Euron and Cersei can't be trusted, by anyone or each other. In "The Queen's Justice," Cersei tells Euron that his marriage proposal won't be accepted until the war is over, even after he delivered the gift of revenge to her doorstep. Rude, Cersei!
Despite Cersei's elongation of their engagement, Euron brings his ships to Casterly Rock — at what appears to be the speed of light — and destroys the Unsullied's ships, so they don't have an easy way of getting back to Dragonstone. But without a confirmed marriage to Cersei, nothing is stopping Euron from either taking the Iron Throne for himself or abandoning her cause if things don't go her way.
