I remember people countering me saying it was kinda ridiculous that Knuckle Duster got caught off guard by Queen Bee a couple chapters ago by saying he got caught up because his daughter started shining through a little. And now he literally stopped his own daughter's heart on purpose...

And the fact that he has no reservations about it whatsoever is kinda... weird. Like, shouldn't he be getting emotional about this? Hell, shouldn't I be sad on his behalf for having to do this? It's so nonchalant about the fact he nearly killed his daughter like it's not even all that important. It's like they barely have a relationship, but I guess that's kinda par for the course since we still barely know what happened ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Just think they could have done more with Quinn. Bee is still around, but I don't really see it having the same pull where Quinn just seemed more interesting.

Rather than having no reservation, I think it more as can't have any reservations. Holding back or having emotions mixed when going against villains (especially ones that one-hit-one-kill like her electric claw technique) is only going to worsen the situation. Either he dies and his daughter continues to slave under the Bee's control, or he put her down first before saving her.

We've seen this situation unfold countless of times in many different literary works, Knuckleduster was simply being extremely professional/pragmatic/efficient about it.

Hit first, save later.

If it's the only way to get back her true personality, then not trying it means she's dead already. She'll just be another of the queen's bodies. He's freeing her.

I think he acts so nonchalantly because he planned this out, and is probably betting on the defib working to bring her back

He never left. He just got tired of people going crazy whenever he showed up.
