Sticks out like a sore thumb

I LOVE the series, but who did they get in to write this one? It’s the worst episode by some distance of the series. Character arcs built over 50+ books go out the window. Kain suddenly turns into some dribbling goofball and lapdog to Bridget. The has way more “dialogue”, but it is all subservient to Bridget and he’s suddenly dumb AF. At one point the character actually literally says “I am kind of the leader, but it’s Bridget who calls the shots”. Since when??? It only does she have the skills built up over her lifetime and previous episodes, she is now also the world’s leading expert at EVERYTHING.
The story (there are a few other ones, but at least with the consistent characters) is a TOTALLY pointless side quest. So far into the series (and close to the conclusion???), that is just not appropriate. The dialog doesn’t flow either. It’s like the actors all spoke in their bit at home and then later it was edited together to create the dialogue. Klunky. A female Consortium character is just super nice and helpful as well. Sounds wrong as well? Indeed it does.
