#Had Annie's reaction been written as being *intentionally* bad and handled with more care it could have been really interesting

Is it just me or was the entire Hughie & Annie conflict kinda forced? Especially in the last episode. Like I understand Annie being uncomfortable with the shapeshifter situation, but blaming the whole thing on Hughie? That it's his fault he was deceived into having sex and proposing? And he was the one who caught on that it wasn't Annie, so her being persistently this upset with him felt very unnatural. Like the writers were running out of justifications to bring conflict into their relationship.
Choosing to frame the situation as if Hughie (consciously) had a fling with somebody else and wasn't repeatedly assaulted was certainly a choice.
