I can’t override that emotional connection that makes me side with Lady Hilda.
Nor should you! :) It's lovely that she resonates with you, that's a beautiful thing and one of the best bits of fiction is when a character takes your hand and doesn't let go. Heaven knows I let Holmes and Watson get away with a ton of stuff that would probably repel me in characters I loved less.
Second Stain is just an all-around good story, in my opinion, and it's actually one of my two personal favorite Granada episodes, too! (my other Granada fav is Norwood Builder). I will always have a warm spot for it in my heart, regardless of how sternly I side-eye Lady Hilda :)
