i called the waiter down and he took the food i cooked up to the dining room. i then i went back and grabbed Ted. i went back into the dining room and waited for mortimer to finish his speech. as soon as i started walking towards mortimer everyone in the room turned hostile all of a sudden and started attacking us. is this mission bugged or am i supposed to do something else.

You have to be dressed as a member or be a member to be in that room. Just take Ted to his father.

im supposed to put an outfit on. ok. i finally just left my companion behind and snuck behind him and then popped up really quick and started the dialogue. did the trick.
