Cersei goes to her dad's funeral. We learn that the reward for killing Tyrion is a lordship. And that Tywin had no sense of humour. Cersei prays that he be judged fairly: she should be careful what she wishes for.
The corpse smells bad and has a funny smile. Cersei is very paranoid now (though they are out to get her), and thinks the septon hired by Tyrion must be behind it.
She has to talk to tedious people. Mace Tyrell wants to be King's hand and has some relative he wants to be master of coin, but Cersei is (quite rightly) suspicious of Tyrells. She asks Gyles Rosby to be master of coin. He doesn't want the job but he takes it.
The not-quite maester Qyburn wants to know more about the poison that is very slowly and painfully killing GREGOR. He should ask the Martells, one of whom was talking previously about it being deliberately slow and painful poison. Anyway I'm a bit suspicious of Qyburn, mostly since Cersei seems incapable of hiring anyone trustworthy (see also the Kettleblacks). And I fully expect GREGOR to make a full recovery and be a bit miffed with the Dornish.
Cersei asks her uncle, Kevan Lannister, to be hand. Up until now I'd always thought of him as a harmless background character, but it turns out he has enormous balls! He tells Cersei he'll take the job only if she buggers off to Casterly Rock to get away from Tommen, since she is, if Joffrey is anything to go by, a terrible mother. And if she doesn't like that, well he's got a quite a lot of soldiers who will back him up. And by the way he knows who Tommen's father is. Awesome stuff, he is my new favourite Lannister.
Interestingly he recommends Sam's dad Randyll Tarly as king's hand as an alternative.
