video hopefully helps explain what the problem is... basically I'm selecting different objects from viewport and outliner. How do I set it so viewport selects the same object as the one in outliner?

Controls layer was set to Reference, as result shapes were selectable, but not the controls. Bizarre Maya quirk.
