Fun episode! Your conversation about the Fused villains was interesting, though I have a thought to add:
To me, Abidi worked in the story, because he continued to show how truly crazed the Fused are - and therefore how limited Odium's options are. Whether Odium was aware of it or not, his once-powerful "monarch" is now an absolute buffoon.
Additionally, I think this sort of over-the-top and (for us) short-lived villain was necessary given Wind and Truth is the first book where Odium is the tangible, primary villain. He has a ton of POVs and is the #1 threat the characters are working to stop.
Just my two cents! Abidi was a strangely memorable character to me lol
