I honestly believe that after stede found it was Izzy who made sure Ed was kept on the boat that what cause him to stop being mad Izzy and give him second chance by seeking him out. Stede is weird character he forgives people who most people don’t see as redeemable
Also he is most forgiving like he didn’t hate the people who “responsible for the death of love of his life, even Izzy told him to give him the worst of it for being the apart of it “ after that both love the same man and according to recent interview that Izzy start developing feelings for stede as well and before season two the olu x Jim x Archie ship I wouldn’t believe in ot3 paring being canon but now I do ughhh
he also understands how deeply ed hurt the crew. stede is kind and intelligent enough to approach the situation in a relatively objective way. the crew was trying to survive and izzy protected them, but he also protected ed best he could. he acted as a responsible (temporary) captain and as a caring old friend to ed. it's no wonder that it's something stede is able to appreciate

Stede actively worrying about Izzies brain and the negative effects of alcohol...
