yeah, this. i mean it's possible brienne stumbles into accomplishing something but i think it's clearly a move to get them out of harm's way as well.

we pretty much new marge wasn't in on it in the immediate aftermath, first scene where olenna is talking to her and she seems pretty oblivious.
right after the murder ep i suggested that there is a shot implying that the cup was moved or picked up while joffrey is swinging his sword at the pie. it was pretty inconclusive but could have been a hint that olenna was dosing the glass.
pretty ballsy of her actually to assume that there is 0% chance that marg takes a sip of his wine before giving it back to him.
