Mira in the next episode
Based on Telltale's knack at giving the illusion of choice, here's how I suspect the next part of Mira's storyline will go:
You'll talk to Lord Morgryn and solidify your alliance once you've assured him that the decree has been taken care of. If you didn't burn it, he'll want you to hand it over to him as a sign of good faith. You've hidden it and promise to give it to him the next time you meet (You may or may not intend to do this).
Sera finds you and Tom talking again and demands to know what's going on and why you were with Damien in the garden. You'll be given the option to tell her what happened. While she may appreciate your honesty if you tell her, I suspect whether you do or refuse to say anything, she'll still end up severing ties with you, either out of fear or annoyance, and won't help you with Margaery anymore.
A Lannister guard arrives and says Queen Cersei has summoned you to her chambers and escorts you there. Cersei threatens and interrogates you about your involvement with Tyrion and why you were meeting him, in case you had something to do with Joffrey's death. You'll say you just met him in the gardens and shared some wine, but she knows it's more than that. She'll ask what you are hiding. When Mira says 'nothing', she'll reply, "Then I trust the guards who are searching your chambers at this very moment won't find anything."
Then Lucan appears and Cersei asks what he found. If you kept the Ironrath decree and/or Damien's knife, they're then handed over to Cersei. If you kept the knife, Lucan confirms that it's Damien's. If not, he'll still point out that he saw you in the gardens that night. You'll be given the chance to blame Tom for Damien's death.
If you say it was Tom, Cersei will have him killed and you will have lost an ally.
If you say it was you in self-defence, Cersei will admit that she already knows the truth, because she sent Damien to kill you and will hold that over you to get what she wants.
She'll then offer to ratify Tyrion's Ironwood decree for you (or write up a new one, if you burnt it), if you agree to testify against Tyrion, meaning she'll want you to lie and give false testimony implying Tyrion killed Joffrey. Of course, this means you may not need the alliance with Morgryn.
Unfortunately, I doubt Telltale will be able to show the trial for the same reason that they couldn't show the wedding. This means at the last moment, you won't be called to testify and you'll still owe Cersei. She might want you to spy on Margaery for her, but after all that, I'd be surprised if Margaery doesn't just fire you instantly and send you home.

That's actually not bad at all!
Actually....what you just wrote is quite believable, I can totally see it happen in the next episode. xD
Got me more excited!
Damn I wouldn't mind seeing this as Mira's plot for the next episode! Great job! You actually have me hyped for the next episode with hopes that this plot is similar to what Telltale will be delivering to us.
Ooh, that would be exciting. It would be awesome if it becomes easier/harder depending on whether you showed deference to the crown earlier, or sided with Margaery.
Either way, the Margaery life-boat is tanked. Her position is even more precarious, and useless, than ever. Time to join a winning team, Sera can have her.
I would also love to see this as Mira's plot. Better than getting shanked by Morgryn the moment he finds out the decree is gone and he's back to being the sole "legal" provider of Ironwood in King's Landing, which I'm a bit worried might happen. I would love to also get a chance for at least one last talk with Margeary, to tell her absolutely everything about the deal with Tyrion, then resign as her handmaiden to save you both face in public. Sure, she'd probably still stay mad at Mira, but at least it'd be a clean way to break apart.
I must ask why we were not allowed to see the Wedding? Obviosly because Cersei doesnt like us but was it aswell License reasons or?
I think for a couple of reasons -
Because then they'd have to do models of a bunch of other actors from the show - Joffrey, Sansa, Tywin, Olenna etc. which would take a lot longer than making up original characters. Also I'm curious what licensing fees would apply to using someone's likeness. Put it this way, we're only ever going to see characters that we also hear i.e. that Telltale have payed to lend their voice to.
Ah Ok. Thank you
I would have loved just one tiny scene in the Godswood, where Mira and Sansa just pass each other on their way in/out. Just a little Northern solidarity. The North Remembers you know.
I always thought it odd that they never have Mira ask Tyrion about her, or extend her condolances to Sansa through him. They are in such similar positions you would think at the very least they would have Mira reflect on that to herself, even if they were unable to bring Sansa and Mira together for whatever reason.
Good predictions, but I think a lot of this'll happen during Episode 5.
Yeah, quite possibly. I was just extrapolating.
Your thoughts on the subject are very believable trouble, I could totally see that happen in that exact way. The only thing I would change is the end. Cersei would never let her leave, just like with Sansa. Mira is in no way half as valuable as a Stark, but she can use her just the same. She would never take Mira as one of her hand maidens so she must still be able to keep her close for a favor. She can manipulate Tommin into having Margaery keep the Forrester. Mira would have one less friend and be left pretty much at the mercy of the queen regent. Inter the coal boy to smuggle her out of the city.
Yes, well, Margaery might try to send Mira home, but there's nothing to ensure that she'd actually go.
Wow this is a great 'theory'. I like the idea of Cersei sending Damien to kill Mira because he was in the same room as Tyrion and Mira when they formed their alliance possibly as a spy for Cersei to know what Tyrion was doing behind her back. Although I think that at the end of the episode Mira is going to escape King's Landing because of all the trouble she is into and, considering the game is following the TV show, maybe Tyrion would take her with him in that boat he goes into at the end of the season. Because I expect Mira to come back to Ironrath for the final battle, which I assume there's going to be a definite war between the Forresters and the Whitehills.
Well, no, because the only person with Tyrion on the ship in the show is Varys, so if Tyrion took Mira with him, then that would be going against the show canon, not with it. Not to mention, if you hadn't realised, Tyrion and Varys are going to Essos, so that's moving away from Ironrath, not toward it.
