Tabitha's relationship with Stella is representative of her relationship with the town—with control in general. Tabitha cares so, so much for Stella, yearns for her—but she's determined that they can never be together because they just have too much baggage. It would be too complicated. Better to stay away, for Stella's sake.
She'll even wingman you if you and her have a good relationship on day four because she wants Stella to be happy! Very happy! She wants the best for this woman! She just wants Stella to live a good life without her.
But that isn't what Stella wants, is it? Stella wants Tabitha. Stella has gotten banned from the mines and still tries to sneak in. She is desperate for chances to reconnect with Tabitha and will jump at the bit for any opportunity she gets to get a little bit closer to Tabitha. Stella wants Tabitha.
But in Tabitha's eyes, Stella does not know what she wants. She doesn't realize that her desires are not good for her, and thus, Tabitha must be the one to make the hard decisions.
And that's what Tabitha always does, isn't it? Tabitha makes decisions for people because she wants to protect them. She makes decisions for the miners because she thinks they'll be better off with the town afloat than with their desired working conditions. She makes decisions for us because she's come to love us and wants to keep us safe.
Tabitha has come to view herself as a guardian figure. The necessary evil. The mean mom that makes the tough decisions no one else can. And that mentality is so pervasive in her life that it's come to impact her relationships, too.
