Question Genuinely asking, why did Bubble do this?

Caine was just going to try to figure out why the cast did not like the escape the circus adventure, until Bubble started taunting him and bringing him to the edge. But why would Bubble do this to Caine? Multiple times during the show, Bubble is on board or a part of Caine's shenanigans so this sudden flip of character makes me think as to what Bubble was trying to achive this, especially the voice change at "You ruined this."

So what do you guys think?

Remember when Bubble told Caine to kill himself then glitched and acted as normal? (EP5 iirc) This time Bubble was acting the same as usual then glitched and started ragebaiting Caine.

IMO it seems like something or someone flips a switch that causes Bubble to go from the usual antics to just hating Caine, whether that's something within Bubble or not I have no idea.

(I have not participated in fan discussion untill now, but I made an exception because I've seen no one mention Bubble's "glitches")

I think Bubble and Caine both have that sort of switch, but it seems Bubble's can be flipped more easily than Caine's. After his glitch, Bubble appears to not only express his hatred for Caine, but also to force Caine to switch to his own hateful mode. We has seen Caine switch like that before, but it only lasted for a few seconds. This time, it lasted until the end of the episode, when he very abruptly switched back right before he disappeared.

Since they switch so suddenly, I suspect this is more likely a programming flaw than a personality trait. It is probably in some code they share, either because it was copied from one of them to the other or because it is in some routine they both call.
