Anne attitude with Isabelle

When Anne get back in England, I don't get why Anne lose her temper with Isabelle in front of others all the time. Can't she just ask to see her sister in private? Or found a way to talk her alone? Or the way she talks to George when she knows (or must knows) that it will not be any good for her cause. Isabelle seems she just doesn't want to look suspicious to the others, Isabelle tells her after Edward forgive Anne that they must look loyal to the York and Anne don't even get it, make scenes in front of others. Is it on purpose or she's not bright?

Well I'll have to rewatch a few scenes, but in the novel of "The Kingmakers Daughter", Anne does approach Isabel many times alone, but doesn't get any results. Infact the scene where she bites Isabel/the George is walking about are the only public confrontations. I personally believe that the only reason why there were no private confrontation is because they didn't have enough screen time and wanted to only add the "big loosing temper" scenes.

I agree that she did appear colossally dense when she did that. It made me think she was a lot dumber than I thought they were trying to portray her as.
