Three Viltrumites show up on Thraxa looking for Nolan. Mark tries to hide his father's gal and his half-brother but one of the Viltrumites finds them. He almost kills them but Nolan shows up and kills the other Viltrumite.

The other two Viltrumites come after Mark and Nolan. Mark tries to fight one of them but he isn't able to fight with the same intensity or blood lust that his opponent possesses. Nolan kills his opponent but then the first Viltrumite, that Nolan thought he had killed, shows up and evens the odds.

A Viltrumite space ship arrives. Nolan is take prisoner. He is to be taken back to Viltrum for execution. Mark is told this by the leader of the the Viltrumite unit that takes his father. He gives Mark orders to return to Earth and take over his father's role or else.

Thoughts

The Global Guardians are not in this episode.

The show is very violent, especially this episode. The Viltumites seem very one note. Nolan is starting to realize what he's been missing but what about the rest of the Viltrumites? They all seem to act the same even if they look different.

I'm not sure if I want to continue watching. I'm all caught up but I'm getting a little bored with this show. I find it be lacking. There are a number of supporting characters whose names I can barely remember. I just don't find it all that compelling.
