Is this going to amount to more than "I'll be a little nicer to my servants this time so I don't get killled"? The ending of the first episode didn't really seem to understand the themes at play here.

Yes, it will. She's still selfish and a bit unaware (although less than before), and we know it from her thoughts, but her whole behaviour flips 180°. With people then thinking that she's some beacon of wisdom, when her actions are motivated by short-sighted motivations like "I remember X in the revolution! Better not piss him off this time!" or similar.
