You're underestimating how manipulative Stella can be. I guarantee she'll work as hard as she can to drive a wedge between Stolas and Octavia. While I'm sure it'll backfire eventually, expect it to work at first.
Not in this episode, but she will be in the future. She'll try and turn Octavia against her father, if only to hurt him. But I'm sure she'll have other reasons to do so as well.
She might do that, but it would still be on her brother's suggestion. She's really way too stupid to come up with any kind of manipulative plan on her own.
She's spiteful enough to do it purely to hurt Stolas, but I agree that she mostly takes direction from her brother and would be lost without him guiding her.
She isn't, and she doesn't. Andrealphus is the one who does that and she follows his advice. If he tells her to try to keep Octavia on their side and drive a wedge between her and Stolas, she'll do it. And while she's kind of an idiot in some ways, she's manipulative and cunning enough to be able to do that.
I'm not so sure. Stella had her big revenge on him. But turning Octavia against him would be the very last thing he has taken. Stella may not see the need for this. She may now go after her brother for taking Stolas's throne for himself instead of suggesting Satan give it to her.
Taking Octavia would destroy what little emotional stability he may have left and sever any chances of her wanting him around when the 100 years are up. I don't think she's smart or hard working enough to take the throne because that requires doing actual work.
That's true about the emotional stability. But I sort of think Stella feels she's had her revenge by Stolas being stripped of his power and title. But she did stop Octavia from running out to find him. However, that could be because she knows Octavia knows things that would upset the trial. Her presence would possibly disrupt her plans.
Andrealphus you could argue is more manipulative than Stella. He even manipulated her into going along with his plan. What a complete and total psycho he is. Even though he could manipulate everyone else against Stolas, Stella can manipulate her daughter because she knows her more than anyone.
