Came here to post a baked beans joke and now I have nothing left.

Also since when does Mr. No Fun actually tell a joke?

Oh for the love of gently caress.

I don't understand why people have so much time for Tony? I mean he just seems like such a terrible dad, sure he might be conflicted and the Court partially to blame, but still.

Annie is going to run away to the forest because she just can't deal.

We then cut away to Reynard, Eglamore and Tony playing poker and having a great time.

He's a terrible dad, but not really a terrible person - just someone who shouldn't be in charge of a child.
For all his idiosyncracies, he seems like an alright guy to get along with if he doesn't hold authority over you, so I can see why the other characters can fit him into their lives.

I assume we are going to learn that over time, but the emotional narrative was best served by letting us experience Annie's surprise and betrayal along with her instead of seeing the pieces being set up.

It's gonna turn out Annie found out all about this during the time jump and it just surprised they started on the project without her.

Also, I really want to see how the inital conversation between Kat and Worst Dad went down. I'm picturing a long, awkward silence followed by an awkward, long silence.

Absolutely agree; this is fantastic from a narrative point of view. I'm just curious how it all went down.
