The way I see it, Elizabeth wanted revenge, and Philip took it away from her by doing it himself.
Oh, it can totally be read that way, but SHE certainly didn't see it that way, given her reaction.
I think generally, his obsessively protective trait is a toxic thing between them, but that one time it worked for them because it also meant him simultaneously acknowledging that what she'd suffered was worth killing Timoshev over.
He just wants revenge.
That's what it looks like from inside of his head, but it's not how it looks to HER.
