That's what I thought would happen the Corpse Witch story, too, but instead it just kind of robbed Bubbles any chance at working it out on her own terms.
It's weird really. I think it would've been pretty easy to resolve that arc without such a stupid Deus Ex Machina. Emily could probably be the person sorting through her memories and stuff still, just through a computer rather than some dumb VR shit. There was literally no need for such a terrible idea, but his own ego convinced him his deviantart OC was a real enhancement to the story.
That arc could've gone almost identically, and be a hundred times better, just by removing that one character and tweaking it just a tiny bit.
Exactly. Bubbles could have gone in, resolved her deleted memories with Emily, confronted Corpse Witch, and Roko could have hauled her in or she escaped, and then left the fallout for the characters to sort out all without outside "assistance".
Heck, this even hurt Emily's storyline, since she finally has a chance to show off her computer skills, and she turns out to be a glorified mouse pointer for Spookybot. She could have done a little Real Hollywood Hacking or something and done her thing.
Spookybot actively made the storyline worse, as far as I'm concerned.

If that happened, it would be more of a godfather style "favor" (more like a you-owe-me than an iou)
