I think that scavenger hunts can only be compelling if the people doing them at least have to work out the clues, or at least struggle to get to the straightforward coordinates. They're just not doing enough yet, AND the writers keep giving us glimpses of the Observers, I guess so we know for sure that they aren't being lulled into false security, because that wouldn't be narratively tense at all?
I can believe that none of the characters would be too pissed at him because they're either still pretty clearly mentally living sixteen years ago when they didn't have to be quite as careful, or Etta, who I can see as a little bit in love with suddenly having a family again. What I really want is for the narrative to admit that he would be a liability and DO something with the possibility. Complete agreement on Astrid though.
