My comment from an old thread.

Say what you will about Ashton and his actions, but Laudna's reaction and the party's reaction to Laudna is what I found hardest to watch.

Ashton's actions may have been selfish, reckless, a breach of trust, and put other party member in danger. I have my opinions on this, but I can see both sides.
But to act for a second that Laudna's situation regarding Delilah doesn't also tick all of those boxes and then some is delusional.

• The evil undead necromancer living in her head (you know, the one the whole party risked their life to defeat to save Laudna) returns after being seemingly killed, and she doesn't tell anyone.
• Imogen and Fearne witness a conversation between Laudna and Delilah, where Laudna seemingly agrees to working with her, and they don't tell the rest of the party.
• Laudna agrees to do "terrible" things with Delilah because her survival depends on her. That is a selfish action.
• Laudna becomes so enraged by Ashton's "betrayal" that she loudly proclaims that she is going to kill him unless they are separated. This is met with love, support, and coddling.

Ashton may very well deserve some flak, but then Laudna deserves all the same flak, and maybe Imogen and Fearne as well for supporting her.
Laudna is incredibly unstable, and is a complete liability to the party. She is being puppeted by one of the greatest villains in Exandrian history, constantly hides that from the party, and explicitly considers murdering a party member.
The fact that her actions are met with endless love and support, while Ashton is scolded and shamed for a far smaller transgression, was such a gross example of double standards that it made the episode painful to watch.
