The Episode is titled "Choices", but there are almost no choices in the episode as the final outcome and nature of the characters were already in existence. The writer is probably making a creative shot across the bow about homosexuality, which I appreciate.

Since the moment I saw the scraggly beard, murderous eyes, and heard his snarky remarks, I could sense he was gay. I speak of Micheletto, Cesare Borgia's assassin in the the TV series, the Borgias.

It was a great revelation and he was so gung ho about his lover getting married to a girl, even if neither of them wants it that way. Back in 15th and 16th century, there's no such thing as gay marriage, no such thing as gay relationships unless you want to get yourself killed. These guys snuck around the graveyards of Forli to just have their chance of expressing love, where only the dead would not judge. That is a powerful revelation to the series and the character's nature that only death can protect him

It also shows off a very interesting thing about the character in that moment, he fights and kills people sometimes without any personal purpose, but now I think I can see his personal purpose if it is a bit macabre and twisted. Gay characters are many things, but dynamic and morally challenged with an innate gift.

Hope other people will enjoy it as much as I did.

PS: Knowing the history of the time and characters, I can't wait until the most famous gay artists, engineer, and scientist arrives on the scene. Micheletto might not be single for long.
