Invincible 1.07

We Need to Talk

Mark, Amber, and Will return from UU. Amber doesn't want to have anything to do with Mark. He reveals he is Invincible to her but that doesn't phase her. She already knew.

Nolan and Debbie have a talk. He asks her to trust him but its too late for that. She's had enough.

Robot concludes his business with the Mauler Twins. They have grown him a new body. He's not really a robot but a deformed human. They tranfer his memories into the new body.

Cecil has Nolan under surveillance. Nolan kills everyone that is watching him, including Donald, Cecil's right hand man. Omni-Man goes looking for Mark. Cecil hits Omni-Man with some of his biggest weapons. He tries asking him why he killed the Guardians but Omni-Man just does his best to deal with the stuff that Cecil throws at him.

Mark is talking to Eve when they see that something is going on. Mark doesn't want to have anything to do with it but Eve does. She takes off. Mark follows her. They find his father fighting a giant tentacled beast. Cecil is the one who sicked it on Omni-Man.

The Mauler Twins revive the Immortal. They think they have him under control but he goes berserk. He remembers how he was killed and goes looking for Omni-Man. 

Robot, in his new human body returns to the New Guardians HQ. He explains part of what he did. Rex Splode notices that Robot looks just like a younger version of himself.

Atom Eve and Invincible catch up to Omni-Man. Invincible and Omni-Man team up to fight the tentacled monster.  Atom Eve stays out of the fight after she gets a call from Debbie and Cecil. The Immortal finds Omni=Man and the two start fighting.

Invincible is left to deal with the tentacled monster by himself. The Guardians watch what they can see thanks to a couple of helicopters in the area of the fight. Cecil asks them to stay out of it because they may have to be the last line of defense against Omni-Man.

Invincible defeats the tentacled beast on his own. Omni-Man kills the Immortal. Everyone sees it thanks to the helicopters. Omni-Man turns to his son and says, "We need to talk."

Thoughts

Wow! That was one hell of an episode. Lots of developments. I don't recall how far robot's story got in the 40 plus issues of the comic book that I read. I don't recall what was revealed in this episode from the comics but it has been well over 10 years since I read them.

The craziest thing is that Invincible still doesn't know that Omni-Man killed the original Guardians. He still has yet to explain his motivations to anyone, including the audience.

I'm very eager to see where they go in the final episode of the season but I don't see how it can top this one.
