( continues...) lot to stake on "maybe he'll bully Tyrion into handling his cup."
If Tyrion had NOT been handling that cup so much, who would have been the primary suspect?
Bunnies frighten me.

I'm very intrigued to see how this plays out in later episodes.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I totally can imagine her drugging Jaime in order to beget a proper Lannister baby without having to continue suffering Joffrey in bed.
Dude. Duuuuuuude. Dude.
Perhaps someone trying to play Sansa and wanting her (nominal) husband out of the way? It's a possibility, particularly with her absconding from the wedding,
With her leaving KL, the advantage to be had with her may not be there, but, rather, wherever she's going. I doubt Ser Dontos has the brains to come up with this on his own.
who would have been the primary suspect?
I think Cersei would have likely pointed the finger at him anyway, on even the slightest shred of possibility.

erin,
I love the way your mind works. Question (for those of you who have read the books), is it possible the poison was not intended for Joffrey, but for Margaery?

It is (book spoilers) profoundly unlikely.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Myrcella? Possibly, but she's the youngest and would likely fall behind even Stannis in sucession.
Myrcella is older than Tommen.

If the goal is just to get some Lannister to sleep with you, Lancel is a much easier mark than Jaime.

This statement is very true.

Forgot Myrcella was the middle child. But she is still a girl putting her in the bottom WRT sucession. And she's in Dorne, and the only representative of Dorne at the wedding was Oberon, yes? And him recently arrived in KL w/o many contacts who could get near the King's table. Not many partisans in her camp (figuratively speaking.)
I have given far to much thought to how Margaery would go about getting pregnant once married to Joffrey. Of course she would have to let him in at least once (ugh) to make any pregnancy possibly legitimate. After that she would need someone who looks like a Lannister. Perhaps some as-yet-unheard of cousin. Lancel might be easy, but he also has loose lips and seems more Loras' type than hers. Jaime would be easier to blackmail into silence, especially now that Cersei is spurning him. It would be a great challenge, but she is lady ready for most any challenge (even marrying Joffrey.)
eta: I sit with D_E wrt the possibility of Margaery being the intended target.
