I've made it no secret at all how much I hate season nine, but... this... thing... gives me more reasons to hate it! The continuity is a mess, the moral doesn't fit the characters utilized, and don't get me started on the villain redemption. It is the worst writing trope the show has used to date, and it gets worse when the villain in question doesn't appear or speak (or both) after the episode it happened.

Diamond Tiara got redeemed in Crusaders of the Lost Mark. She hasn't spoken since.

Chancellor Neighsay got redeemed in School Raze. He hasn't spoken or appeared since.

Pretty much every EG villain post-Cinch got redeemed in their respective debut stories. None of them have spoken or (most of them, anyway) appeared since.

Dr. Caballeron got redeemed here and he won't be appearing again after this episode.

The point is, if you're not planning to do anything with the bad guy of the story after you redeem them, don't give them redemption in the first place! (Before anyone mentions Tempest Shadow, keep in mind that Emily Blunt's an expensive actress.)
