Apart from the first couple, I think my favourite episode was probably the one with the marriage backstory. I didn't see it coming and I think the betrayal was quite affecting, and typically disappointing. That her husband liked her being a fighter, but the second he realised she was better than him, he turned her in.

Did he though? For one thing she wasn't just a better fighter than him, she reveled in combat in a way that he was uncomfortable with, pushed his boundaries and insulted him for being uncomfortable with a naked blade duel, and kissed him with a sword to his throat. I'm not saying that justifies his response - using the word "monster" was a cruel lashing out, and giving away her horse even more so - just that they both hosed up there.

For another, the show very intentionally leaves it unclear whether it was the "mother" or the husband who turned her in.
