It was a moment of realization for the empress who, despite her negative feelings toward Peter, still loved him on some level. In the season’s final scene, she stabbed a decoy thinking it’s Peter, and immediately broke down over her husband’s presumed death. Peter’s role in Joanna’s death shattered any hopes Catherine had about him changing for the better, propelling her forward with the plan to kill him once and for all. “It’s one of the moments in the season where he’s like, ‘Oh, maybe I can’t,’ and that’s something he has to grapple with.” It’s part of this season’s struggle for him with who he is as a person, and whether he can be a better person,” McNamara explains. “He knows it’s going to be painful for Catherine and it was a bad idea. Peter is immediately blamed for Joanna’s death, and for the first time we see him wrestle with feelings of guilt for his role in the incident. “How can it be he’s sort of complicit in it, but he didn’t actually kill her? There were a lot of ideas about how she dies, but in the end, going out the window seemed funny and kind of good.” “We were trying to find a way to have her die - because we knew she had to die - and make it sort of Peter’s fault but not really,” McNamara tells TVLine.
