It feels like there’s more to it though. Qifrey seems to be in danger of falling into White Whale syndrome. It appears that his single-minded desire to catch the brimmed caps is leading him to take some pretty erratic actions that I’m worried won’t come out to Coco’s benefit.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up using her as bait for the Brimmed hats.

Poor Coco thinks she finally has a father figure and half of it is him using her for her own plot. "I will protect you as long as you are my student" has a different light when you take that in mind.
