As for the Vatican meeting, I don't think Darnley really meant any harm, either. I'm sure it looked bad to Mary, but it's not like he was plotting her assassination. He just wanted some control / power / responsibility because Mary is not really trusting him with anything.
No one is saying that she should just forgive everything and trust him completely. She just needs to give him opportunities to redeem himself and slowly earn back her trust. She needs to meet him halfway. For example, her challenge with Lord Hamilton. He handled that situation very well and refused to be provoked by Hamilton, even though he was very upset and insulted. He's trying! Mary just needs to acknowledge that he is capable of stepping up and doing the right thing. And I do think she is beginning to relent... She trusted him enough to tell him about the baby. That was really a sweet moment, and hope that we get a few more before the end.
