Yeah, I definitely didn't have that read on it? I don't think the show is addressing her overconfidence, because she's not overconfident, she's too determined. (She actually is anxious and scared, which is a big point of this episode!) Her determination makes her unable to sit back and say Holy Shit I Almost Got My Brother Killed, and that's going to keep her from any sort of actual heroism. Power has to be balanced with humility -- an understanding that power has to be wielded with both purpose and reluctance -- or it's never going to get you what you want. By acknowledging her anxiety and fears, by recognizing the burden of what she's doing, she's reached a level of power that eluded her before.
