I think we are already seeing that with her pointing out last week that Jon Snow must "bend the knee". Seems to me she hasn't been that interested up until the last few episodes in that sort of showboating. She really seems to be changing now that she is so close to the throne.Also, Lady Olenna gave Dany some advice during that war council scene, both at the beginning of the scene and at its end. In the beginning, after Dany told them that she didn't want to be a "Queen of the ashes," Olenna observed the following:
"I can't remember a queen who was better loved than my granddaughter . . . and what is left of her now? Ashes."
Olenna closes that remark with this: "Commoners, nobles, they're all just children, really. They won't obey you unless they fear you." (By the way, Cersei said something similar way back in the day, during the Battle of the Blackwater.)
At the end of the scene, when Olenna and Dany are discussing things privately, the elder lady tells the younger lady to be what she needs to be: "Be a dragon."
That's foreshadowing all the way, folks. ;-)
