Mary Bonnet deserves all of the kudos for managing to put up with her husband. Stede is such a fun character to watch, but I can only imagine how he would be if anyone had to truly interact with him in real life. Dealing with his whimsy as his wife practically makes Mary a saint, and I don't think anyone can truly blame her for any of her actions in this episode. Stede gets the kick to the pants that he really needs to see that it's time to grow up and recognize that he CAN hurt other people, but he's also capable of making them happy if he can just stop running away. Now he has a whole second season to work on that lesson.
