Cause I didn't. I didn't really feel bad for his girlfriend either.

I don’t think so, at least I surely didn’t. I think the scene was meant to knock palmer off his high horse.

No you're supposed to feel sorry for the viewers for losing a piece of pie to look at it while this crapfest airs for another 10 or so weeks.

You're supposed to feel the way you want to feel. I laughed.

I felt the uion was forced anyway.

Palmer and Coco were way too stupid in that situation.

Palmer should've known better, and he should've explained the situation better to Coco. What did they really expect to happen when they threatened an incredibly powerful, ancient, supernatural being?

Palmer was clearly not an equal partner in this situation. He had no leverage. The Master could kill him at any moment and then just have Eichorst put some makeup on him. Sure, it'd be an inconvenience to have to prop Palmer up and make him appear human, but it's not a dealbreaker if he absolutely refuses to help.
