The article argues that *Evil* mishandled Andy Bouchard in its four-episode final season, undoing much of his established character development. It says the show’s rushed conclusion turned Andy into an implausible adulterer, despite previously presenting him as a flawed but devoted husband and father who tried to protect his family.

Andy had already endured separation from his family, demonic manipulation by Leland and Sheryl, and nearly killing his daughter Laura before resisting the control and seeking psychiatric help. The article maintains that his decision to sell the family business, find work closer to home and improve his marriage was consistent with his character, making the sudden infidelity storyline feel unsupported and especially damaging to one of the series’ strongest arcs.
