Game Of Thrones Season eight is coming to an end and we are now only one episode away from witnessing the epic finale as we find out who takes the iron throne. The fifth episode of the season aired on May 13 and while it received some mixed reactions from fans, the episode saw some major character deaths including Lena Headey's Cersei Lannister and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's Jaime Lannister. The twins who are shown to be in an incestuous relationship on the show died as lovers in an embrace on the penultimate episode of the show. Game of Thrones Season 8: Cersei Lannister aka Lena Headey Imagined She Would Die Fighting Somebody.

The episode saw Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) attacking King's Landing with her dragon, Drogon. While she burnt down the entire city, she kept her word when she said, "We'll take them out, root and stem." The actors on the show have been known to be going through an emotional time as they are bidding goodbyes to their characters. Actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau shared a few pictures with Lena Headey from their final shoot as they exit the show. He captioned the pictures as, " The best, sweetest most wonderful sister from another mother @iamlenaheadey . That was a fun decade."
