Ugh, Stizzy and Steddyhands canon insistence stuff assaulting my human eyeballs again. Stede had more satisfying sex with Mary than he'd ever have with Izzy (or Jack or Ricky or Nigel or Chauncey or any of these other dbags).
Meanwhile, lest we forget, S2 gave us only two glimpses of Stede's unfiltered thought of Izzy. Which, uh... he doesn't actually like Izzy.
The second glimpse is when they meet face to face and Stede tells him to piss off so he can talk to the adults.
The first glimpse is the beginning dreams where he angrily stabs Izzy for selling them out to the English... and then promptly forgets Izzy exists to run along the beach and begin his nightly sex dream of Ed.
This, of course, foreshadows the finale where Stede stabs another colonizer prick who happily works for the English, and then Stede runs carefree to Ed.
If Zheng hadn't interrupted, things would have swiftly escalated into sex dream-into-reality territory there. Goddammit, Zheng!
