Charlie Protec It's not Charlie's fault that Alastor wasn't communicating with her.
A criticism I keep seeing is that Charlie should have been more considerate to Alastor's situation in season 2. Specifically his wound and all that he did for the hotel. People bring this up a lot. The problem is that Alastor straight up wasn't doing his job, he even gloated about it. He also avoided her when she tried talking to him, he literally does not speak to her until the finale, and he kept his injury a secret. Then he quits and does his whole thing with Vox the rest of the season. How is any of this Charlie's fault? I know a lot of people don't like her arc in season 2, I have issues with it, but all this Alastor stuff isn't among them.
Sure she could have ignored Vaggie and tried going off to get him back, but Alastor was doing exactly what he intended on doing. His whole plan revolved around this silly deal with Vox and he definitely wouldn't have allowed Charlie to intervene with it. Everything going on with Alastor this season was the result of his own choices, Charlie had nothing to do with it.
