Okay

This comment's gonna be quite the adventure so bear with me.

So Alexander and Frederick accidentally hinted at how to kill them ("fix me a drink" and "get me my chair") and you see shots of Ivan plotting their deaths when they say this. But Catherine didn't have a hint like that...or did she? Her garrotes were noticeably a different style than Ivan's, and some had pointed out they look rather phallic. As soon as she tosses them over her shoulder, we get a shot of Ivan watching the garrotes as they're thrown. Is it possible he saw this and that was what got the idea in his head to kill her with (horse) sex? And as an extension, was Catherine two steps ahead of Ivan after seeing him off Alexander and Frederick and specifically gave him that subliminal message to make him make the mistake of assuming she was killed during horse sex so she could get the upper hand on him? Checkmate?
