Ok I can't stop thinking about this line:
“Interest isn’t Ed’s problem. Maintaining interest. That’s his issue.”
Anyone else think that Stede may be projecting juuuuust a little here? 
Ed was content to just be folding things 2 years ago and it looks to me like he's just as content with it now. Meanwhile Stede is...being reminded of his miserable time with Mary, of all things? Ouch lol
Look at this gorgeous art inspired by that scene, though!!

Stede and Ed manage to steady it, buttercream on their fingers. Stede: “Whoop.” Ed: “Thing’s a bleeding liability.” Stede: “Let’s get this thing over with. Maybe no more large functions.” Ed: “At least none with massive fragile desserts. Icing’s not bad though.” Stede: “Might give you the shits.”
He's back again already!

Hypatia looks unenthused. This inn wasn’t her choice for the function but she intends this to go off without a hitch. Stede notices that he hasn’t yet seen the bride or the groom. Hypatia insists they’ll be there. Most of the family has already checked in.
