The show appears to have mainly gone down the route of scorned ex-lover and so Shae forgets her protectiveness and friendship to Sansa just for the sake of plot. While a comparison between the show and the books would be great, I’m mainly looking for answers based on the show. I don’t remember how the trial went in the books, so perhaps it’s different there. So why implicate Sansa, the child she tried to protect so fiercely? Why not just say Tyrion killed the king and leave Sansa out of it? This testimony would most likely result in a death sentence for Sansa, if she were to be captured (her life was already at stake but this would make it ‘official’). However, previously Shae said that she would kill for her (Sansa) and acted in ways of supporting Sansa, like trying to cover up her blood-stained sheets, etc. So he promised to kill King Joffrey for her. During the testimony, Shae says things like The question of why Shae betrayed Tyrion has already been covered, but I haven’t found anything about Shae betraying Sansa. In S4E6, during the trial where Tyrion is accused of regicide, Shae provides a false testimony to the jury.
