Can’t stop thinking about the moment in S2 E3 when Stede confronts Izzy about what happened to Ed –
Izzy: “He was a wild dog, and we dealt with him like one.”
Stede, without missing a beat: “You sent him to doggy heaven?” 😔
!!! That flash of a moment, when you see Izzy *realize* – Stede knows about “doggy heaven,” which means Ed told him, not just about the murder/identity-stealing plan but every detail of how Izzy and Ed had discussed it in confidence -!! The mental rearranging Izzy must have to do in that moment, the depth of trust between Ed and Stede implied by that casual revelation (and typical Con O'Fuckin'Neill managing to convey ALL that in one devastating expression…)
Meanwhile Stede’s over there like “Awww, Id :(” thinking “doggy heaven” is still just regular ol’ pirate slang, what a fucking masterpiece
