Stella/Relationships

Stolas
Stella is Stolas's ex-wife. The two never got along with the other, with their marriage having been arranged when they were both children. As shown in a flashback, Stolas was a little frustrated that Stella did not want to comfort Octavia after she had a nightmare and hogging up most of the blanket. When she found out that Stolas had an affair with Blitzo, she became furious at him, calling him an embarrassment. In a later episode, she called him a cheating prick. The same episode revealed she hired Striker to assassinate him for his infidelity. In "Ozzie's", Stella is not seen in their mansion, and it is implied that she moved out; she later admits to Stolas that she enjoys returning to their home in order to torment him. In "The Circus", Stella is shown to enjoy to humiliating and insulting Stolas at parties with her friends. When Stolas wanted to go through the divorce, Stella is momentarily taken back when Stolas stands up to her and orders her to leave; their relationship is severed completely when Stolas grabs Stella's arm before she is able to slap him (hinting she physically abuses him as well) and demands they follow through with the divorce.

Octavia
Stella is Octavia's mother, but it is unknown what their relationship is outside of being blood related. Based on the amount of screentime that Stella has had so far, Stella is presented as a poor parent, as she did not want to help Octavia after she had a nightmare when she was a child. In the present, Stella and Octavia do not appear to be close and have not interacted on the show. Octavia hinted that her relationship with her parents was much more open and loving as a child, before they started fighting (thus igniting Octavia's moody personality). However, in "Ozzie's", Stolas reveals Octavia was with Stella for the weekend, implying Stella may have shown some degree of care or love for her daughter.

Blitzo
Stella and Blitzo don't have much screen time together, other than in a flashback where Blitzo falls off of a balcony and lands next to Stella and her friends, to which he confesses that he had sex with Stolas.

Striker
At the end of "The Harvest Moon Festival", it was revealed that Stella asked Striker to kill Stolas. The relationship between Striker and Stella is unknown but believed to be a professional one; it is also implied that Stella doesn't take failure or excuse from Striker very well and wants him to kill Stolas by any means necessary.
