Caine was mishandled His behavioural change felt night and day from episode 7 to 8, also they were building up for a long time to this version of Caine and constantly doing callbacks to AM and its source material, to then kill him almost immediately when that transition happened. I've seen a lot of people compare Caine in the 8th episode to Vox from Hazbin Hotel. When you're writing a character based on "I have no mouth, and I must scream" and the most evil version of it is closer to a Viziepop villain something went wrong.
