Well, let’s get on with it…
Cersei (Lena Headey) visits Mardge (Natalie Dormer) as Tommen tries on his new throne. Cersei admits, “Joffrey would have been your nightmare” and shows her hand just a smidge. Mardge, to her credit, is rather cunning in her guarded responses. But Cersei cuts through the Bs by asking, “You’re still interested in being Queen, I take it?” They will both speak to their dads about it, as though they were getting permission to have a sleepover or sign up for a cheerleading camp. But then Mardge – always having to have the last word, mind – chirps,...

The titular gang of Rape Squad is not a squad of rapists but rather a group of rape victims who band together to get revenge on their attacker.
