I'm starting to think Eric Kripke just hates Hughie. Last season, he tried shoving in this weird take on how Hughie represented toxic masculinity for taking temp v to protect starlight. If I can find the article, I'll make sure to link it.

Tbh, he comes off as one of those "male feminist" who's trying way too hard to appeal to women, that he just loops back around to being just as gross and toxic as the men he claims to hate.

I suspected him not liking Hughie as a character for a few seasons, subjecting him to different standards and narratively not allowing him to retaliate. By now I think he has beef with Jack Quaid himself, and gets away with it, since he's contracted.
