I feel proud to have started the "Let's kill Fritz!" trend. :) And would like to point out we haven't yet exhausted the possibilities. After all, I recall that back whwen I first read Fritz' letter to EC about her brother's death at Soor, I said there should be an Agatha Christie style murder mystery where everyone has a motive, Heinrich is the obvious red herring for who actually did it, but it was really EC the overlooked. Though more seriously, that would mean writing her as essentially an OC, because given all the data we have on her, I just can't see her do it, no matter how provoked. Unless in a mercy killing kind of way, and here's a scenario: as it turns out, there was a second time EC visited Sanssouci, in the weeks before Fritz' death. She saw in how much pain he was, and and remembers how basically FW lived like this for a decade (which she saw a lot of, given she lived with the in-laws mostly for the first few years of her marriage when Fritz was still stationed at Ruppin), and when he's all "I just want to die", for the first time opening up emotionally to her, she's resolved to help him. That's the only way I can see it happening and still be in character for EC.
