Then the ep 3 scene with Elder and Double happened. At that point though PSO2's writing was already getting into the "if a character is popular we will show more of them and have them be awesome (and if it's a villain we pretend he did nothing wrong)" mode. It started with the second half of ep 3 (shame because the first half was actually good), took a backseat in ep 4 because it had mostly an all new cast, but is now in full power in ep 5. The plot is an excuse to provide fanservice for people who like Gettemhart, Luther or whatever other character is popular.
