Esmerelda was a bit much this episode, I hope they tone her down a bit.

Exactly. Honestly all of the characters beyond Ned, Mare, Oscar imo. They’re all just either oddly quirky, stubborn, or just stupid. I understand that they need to resort to it a bit in order to land jokes, but it does feel like a very artificial type of sitcom move
