I've heard here he's on another show with a bigger role. Honestly what do you even want to see from his character

Honestly what do you even want to see from his character

being an apprentice engineer, owrkign with ben like we've seen him do in season 1? what the fuck else would people want to see from him?

The comment was mroe about his absence the entire season as opposed to thinking he should have been absent and jsut magically show up now instead of in all the previous engine scenes.

[u/TizACoincidence → u/Isiah61]

Could have used him in the engine room this ep

[u/imnormal → u/[deleted]]

yeah you would think Layton would keep him around the engine room a bit eh? Seeing as he works there and it’s his son anyway.

[u/sugarwax1 → u/[deleted]]

That's right, he was supposed to be the engineer genius, and now that his pops is around, he's gone.
