Forum:Ted gunderson as a companion?

So i started the "whats the beef?" quest (i think thats what its called) and then after talking to Mortimer with no success i found Ted Gunderson in a room somewhere and he starts following me (like any temporary companion) and we end up just killing all the white glove members and for some reason they killed heck Gunderson (Ted's father)so Ted kept following me.. (hecks bodyguard survived and even helped kill a few white gloves) then everything was normal for a while, except i think i failed that quest.. but i went to Novac to the hotel room the gift shop lady gives you, and ted was there!.. now hes following me everywhere with a white glove dress cane.. and I'm like wtf hes not supposed to be a companion.. can anyone help? or is it just a weird glitch

hm, now all of a sudden veronica asks me to do the quest for her and ted is gone..
