For me, Hutch “is or should be” more consistent than the guy ready to accept everything and never say anything.
On the other hand, if the 3 episodes Vivian is “simply shaken in all directions and in all holes” without there being any consequences ... oh my god the end of this game will be long ...
Christian himself says that Hutch is not the voluble salesman but a calculator. A guy who does the background work without being in the spotlight. What's more, we see Hutch very distant from Vivian and often annoyed with a clenched fist.
Wouldn't he be “and that takes time in his head” obliged to react.
This kind of introverted character, incapable of reacting in the moment, is either forced to prepare a “plan” over a long period of time, or they endure, endure and explode suddenly, without anyone expecting it.
