One minute they're talking about protecting their paramours and the next, dude's beating his face into a pulp for no apparent reason.

For me, it's because Cole was ashamed of himself more than anything else. He was furious that he had degraded himself into being nothing more than that guy was. After being approached by Laenor's lover and having to directly face the fact that he was nothing more than Rhaenyra's whore himself (using his words in the episode), he simply couldn't take it anymore. He was going to kill himself next until Alicent stopped him too.
