I just sent Hugo to wander to stay himself. So strange.
I don't like how by keeping Hugo the same, I am "keeping the spell". He was a beast to begin with, so does that mean by keeping the spell poor Hugo won't be able to sleep again? That is the spell that was cast upon him.
It's not that hard to keep track of a storyline. It feels like S8 staff disagreed on the plot line and decided to keep parts of both.
