How much of Cersei will we see?

Cersei briefly appears in the preview, talking about how she’ll find a way to victory over “whatever stands in our way.” The trailer appears to be trying to imply that she’s speaking to Qyburn, who is then shown bowing to her. However, if you look carefully, those two shots of Cersei appear to be from different scenes.

She’s sitting in a full chair when she speaks, and in what appear to be her private chambers when Qyburn bows. Presumably, the above photo comes from the Qyburn scene, and is probably right before he comes in to inform her of the loss of presumably their only weapon.

That prompts two smaller questions. Was the ballista intentionally put with Jaime Lannister and his army in order to counteract the perceived dragon threat? Second, was that the only one they had? Even if it was, it’s not like they don’t know how to make them now, but how long does it take to produce them? Okay, that’s more than two questions.

But that seems to suggest that Cersei has at least two scenes in this episode, one of which probably isn’t with Qyburn. So, here’s our last additional Cersei question: Who’s she talking to in that chair scene? Tycho Nestoris is perhaps the easiest answer, but it might be the wrong one.
