Is this guy the worst actor in the history of acting? Why is he even employed as one? Completely spoiled this episode for me.

Warning: Spoilers
Will Zimmerman has become a "herald" because a Makri spider got a close relationship with his insides. Then rich supervillain uses electromagnets to force the spider out so he can get some of that sweet second-hand spider action. Supposedly when the Makri go out for cigarettes like this, the abandoned host is supposed to die. Apparently it releases toxins that can kill the host on its way out like a jerk. Except it did that because it was forced out? Anyway, Will spouts Hindi and seizes on the bed for a while, then goes out for a nap in the trash when no one's looking. Meanwhile, Captain Lizard Cardassian plots his coup and is generally obnoxious.
Later, Kali, who's a spider that likes to dream flirt with its heralds, is off pooping magnetic power with extreme prejudice at the center of the earth under the control of Evil Rich Guy. Apparently Evil Rich Guy wanted some new islands, so he plotted this instead of many other presumably cheaper and more manageable solutions. The kidnapped and disdainful cult priestess starts tapping out the rhythm of the night, which, in combination with his spidey sense, wakes Will. He climbs out of the crash, starts scaring the Mumbai locals, and then, because he lost his pokemon, he dances to get Kali's attention. Despite the fact that she can hear him, she just does what the Makri asks. Will dances very "well" with the aid of some spectral backup dancers in one of the most cringey scenes yet. The whole episode he's absolutely manic. Probably on purpose, but that doesn't make it easier to watch.
At the end, Captain Lizard Cardassian reports the resolved conflict as a failure and attacks the spider anyway because "muh ambition". The season ends with the plot unresolved. We all wanted an end, and we didn't want whatever this was. Much less with the promise of more.
I think that for multi-part episodes, this one had a disastrously specious plot with token cultural references butchered by a Foreigner. I, too, wanna know what love is. But, Will, I don't want you to show me. Now in my life there's been heartache and pain. Mostly from bad acting and dancing.
