Almost impossible; Penny's brother wouldn't appear to be twice Tyrion's age as Tyrion is 8-10 years older than Penny already


** Assuming the head was of Penny's brother, he's only guilty of fraud, though, as the dwarf was decapitated by a gang of drunken sailors from Westeros and the head disappeared later.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Brynden "Blackfish" Tully is rude and condescending to Jaime, but he's right about having no reason to even consider anything other than continuing to hold out: he has more supplies stashed in the castle than can be found anywhere nearby for the much larger Frey-Lannister army outside the walls, he has no reason to think Jaime will or can keep his word after the Red Wedding, and letting any of his men who do not want to change their loyalty leave unarmed would put them at the mercy of the outlaws on the way home.

* FailedASpotCheck: An example where it's not something that Cersei fails to ''see'' as much as something that she completely fails to ''realise''; after [[spoiler:Margaery and her ladies are arrested by the Faith]] because of Cersei's machinations, Cersei tells Septa Moelle that the Crown demands their release, which Moelle refuses until their guilt or innocence can be determined. Since this is what Cersei ''wants'' and she's just playing a role, she forgets that Moelle and the Faith are not her co-conspirators in her plot, so it completely flies over her head that the Faith has just ''openly defied a royal command,'' and consequently that she's completely lost control of them. [[spoiler:Before the chapter is over they've arrested her too.]]

Jaime muses on how, for House Frey's sake, Lord Walder needs to at least outlive his grandson and heir, Ryman. A few chapters later, Ryman is hanged by the Brotherhood.
** Cersei completely fails to understand the significance of Septa Moelle bluntly refusing the Crown's order for the Faith to [[spoiler:release Margaery and her ladies from captivity]] since that's what she ''wants'' to happen. But later in that very same chapter, her inability to make the Faith obey her commands any longer comes back to bite her with a single LittleNo.

* MistakenForIncest: Cersei Lannister observes her much-loathed daughter-in-law Margaery Tyrell and how well she gets along with her brother, Ser Loras. She starts wondering whether they are engaging in an illicit relation. It is hinted that it is just projection on Cersei's part, given her own {{Twincest}} with her brother Jaime.
