Maybe because turning a formerly tough character into a weepy mess isn't that appealing or interesting to many of us. The Stella I knew wouldn't have issues with killing Frankie. The way they've totally assassinated the character of Stella is something I've ranted about many a time.
Well, maybe I'm the only one here who believes this but someone who is as tough as Stella is capable of breaking down. It's only natural for her to be haunted by the thoughts of what happened between her and Frankie. The bastard tied her up, slapped her, stuck her in the bathtub, jumped her and if it wasn't for that safety on the gun or whatever Stella would be dead. Stella isn't some stone cold killer so she would naturally think about what happened, even though it wasn't her fault. If she was grabbed by her wrists and thrown on the bed then yeah, I can show how it was forgetton but she was beaten in the most brutal manner. I would not be surprised if she had to work on a case similar to this and then at the end of the episode she would sit in a corner and cry. The pain that she's showing makes her human. She could only bottle so much inside her before she loses it and hurts herself & everyone around her. Because I adore Stella so much I don't want to see her in pain but it's a typical human reaction to have the memory of what took place stuck in the back of your mind. The writers have to do more then make her look uncomfortable when she's holding a gun as they've done in the past. Whether we see the emotional impact or what took place being further investigated it has to happen. I'll admit that I don't want to think about what happened again but it's only fair to continue on so that Stella seems real, not some character on televison who can move on 'cause if I was her I'd be pretty trumatized.
