I just think with her knowledge of his life, she could understand clearly what that would mean.
She has been using Gemma's tactics to take Gemma's place all along. She even tells Gemma something like "I'm not the same girl anymore. I've learned some stuff." The visual image of her at Jax's side at the head of the table when he took the gavel was a direct illustration of that. She just got some stuff wrong and lost control. I don't doubt she does love him, but her acceptance of some of his violence, even as recently as Clay, while rejecting some other incidents speaks to a lack of solid ground to her victim-hood as well.
I also thought the show did a great job with the kitchen scene, and Sutter talked about it afterwards as needing to look very different to any of the MC violence. The organic nature of the sink and nearby fork was totally appropriate when coming to the violent conclusion of an arc about two people who have been using everyone else to hurt each other, but who finally have to grapple with each other all alone.

Heh, fair enough, it takes a pretty damn good show to get us folks all lathered up like this.
Yeah, the afterword show was interesting, it really helped shed some light on their motivations.
