They have ONE good thing going for them in their lives, and then FW has to go fuck that up too. Start with imprisoning Fritz and pressuring Wilhelmine into a marriage, then put Fritz in a position where he has to be more aloof than usual around her and act like it's his idea. Man.
My thoughts precisely. The odds were incredibly against them; like you say, props to them for sticking by each other as much as as they did. I'm so relieved that neither of them died in 1746, I can't tell you, and that they had the additional decade of renewed closeness, long distance as it often was.
