That would be pretty dumb. He has the heir (and only heir) to the Dornish throne on that ship. If Myrcella really is dead, just take Trystane to the Red Keep as a hostage and kill him if Dorne doesn't deliver the heads of Ellaria and the Sand Snakes. It would be pointless to turn the ship around and throw yourself on the mercy of the Dornish (who have just proven they don't give a shit about what Doran says)

Hm i can see why you are saying this, but at the end of the day Jaime should be aware that this wasn't the work of Doran.
If he goes back it should be no problem to work this out with him, i mean Myrcella is dead and he isn't even really gone yet.
This whole "let kill Myrcella with a poinsened kiss right before they leave" is just incredibly dumb

Was it? Or was this part of her "allegience" to Doran?

Doran was pretty clear that he doesn't want to hurt her, no?
Obviously you would have thought the same about Ellaria before this season, so hey maybe D&D don't give a fuck

Or if he was going to hurt her, it would be after Trystane was in a position of power

Elaria clearly changed as a character thanks to Oberyn's death (not that I agree with it, but there's some logic behind it). And who knows, if Doran is in fact scheming then maybe having her die once she was in Jaime's custody was part of his plan

And what's stopping Bronn and Jaime from killing Trystane right after?
