Vaal Temple bug (Scorpion?)

Hello all, I have encountered a strange bug while trying to build my "snake" in the new vaal temple mechanic. In this run I have active I am stuck in a spymaster room yet there is no enemy I can kill to unlock the next door leading into the elite barracks adjacent. I looked around the outer area as well by exiting the temple and re-entering but there is no possible enemy in sight not even one of those invisible enemies known to the spymaster room. All I can think that caused me to be unable to proceed to the next room is that the scorpion which is in the elite barracks room that normally dies to them in a scripted scene when you enter that room has somehow made it's way to the spymaster door and actually got past the sealed door. So now I am stuck in the spymaster room with this NPC scorpion that was supposed to vanish if i entered the elite barracks but I cannot attack it. My guess is the game is treating it as 1 enemy left in the spymaster room now and that is why it will not open the door as I have not had this issue before. Any insight into this would be great; losing runs because you can't get the next door to open is awful and can blow up a lot of hard work building the temple by destabilizing before getting the chance to get any medallions
