I know the correct answer is, "It's complicated," but if you could only choose one answer, why is Ed crying in his final scene in S1 ep. 10?

His S1 plan failed & he's back being Blackbeard

He misses Stede

Poll ended at .
@Circe I don't think you can really separate those two things, but I voted the second option because if he'd gone through with the plan and killed Stede, s1 would have still ended with him curled up in Stede's bed and sobbing.
@Circe Whereas in episode 7 we see how he acts after the plan has failed but he still has Stede around and he's just... tired and cranky. Struggling, but not actively having a breakdown. So yeah, I think having the one person he loved abandon him is what did it.
