This seems like a real possibility. Brienne's path would then parallel Jamie's--betraying the knightly code by killing the one she has sworn herself to. I really hope that she doesn't sacrifice herself to save Jamie, but GRRM has emphasized Jamie's lack of sword skills, so that may well be the way it goes. However, if there is some sort of trial by combat, and Jamie is the winner, why has he been missing so long? No one has seen him for weeks. I really like Brienne and Jamie's relationship, but I fear that she is a goner in the next book.
