Sadly, the show really wants to make it obvious that the only positive trait and only thing Stella is good for is being hot. But you know what? They can't take away this:

Best moment of the episode. And the only reason why she smiles evilly at the end is because she believes Stolas is gone from their lives. Now they can finally be mother and daughter. Hooray!
Honestly, while I was wondering what Octavia’s plan even was when she rushed, it made sense she would rush out, because she’s a kid, she doesn’t understand that there are rules and laws in place that must be followed, and that she will likely only make things worse or that everyone will ignore her.
Also, fucking love that screenshot. Take away the evil smile, you have a perfect example of what Stella should be. She’s not happy at the outcome, not because she cares about Stolas or he’s going to either die or be banished, she likely has champaign for the occasion, but because it hurts her daughter. What can she do now that Stolas admit to the shit he pulled?
1: Keep her from doing something stupid.
2: Comfort her. She needs that now more than ever.
You know, people keep suggesting Fan-fics about Adam and what not, are there any good ones where Stella is trying to keep things from spiraling too much because of IMP and Stolas, or one where she’s a good mother? I would love to read them.
Also, I 100% agree with the Riot Act Octavia will read Stolas now. He was willing to give his life for the Blitzo, and didn’t once think about how his death would effect his Daughter. He only brought her up when he was being banished.
