babydracoShe had Katrina Ghent painted out of the Ministry group portrait. This is before Katrina tried to marry Jack, she instantly sets out to destroy any woman in Shiloh's government who seems strong enough to gather a power base on her own.
She practically admits she had Katrina killed.
She's cruelly blunt to Katrina's replacement, the kind but slow witted Lucinda, telling her to her face that she's nothing but a baby making machine.
She obviously knew, or suspected, Jack was gay, mothers almost always do, and we see her trying to manipulate his public image to come off as a ladies man. But she didn't realize he was actually having serious relationships like a grownup person. So she assumed that Joseph was a trick out to take advantage of their family. But when she tells Jack that Joseph killed himself, and Jack freaks and blurts out that he and Joseph were really really serious, Susanna Thompson inflects her voice with creeping horror and insists that it's not possible. It's entirely possible that Joseph did not kill himself, Jack's mother had him bumped off. In that moment, she's realizing that her attempt to protect Jack only hurt him more.
Before she has that scene with Jack, though, she has all of Shiloh's mail confiscated so her people can find Joseph's video.
While Silas is distraught about Michelle being on her deathbed, the kingdom is ready to go to war. The war council is waiting for a final decision, but Silas is in no position to make one. Queen Rose walks in with a “letter from the king” authorizing a declaration of war.
After Silas is shot, Rose steals the official crown and hides it so her son can't have a true coronation. Then she greets Silas in Unity Hall, carrying the crown.
When Silas has clearly gone insane, Queen Rose immediately takes over.
