What was up with that look Omni man gave Debbie at the end of the episode? She just said she’d love mark if he got his powers or not and he had this strange look on his face like he was gonna kill her then back pedaled. Anyone else think that was odd?

I just watched it. I felt like that was the emotional journey that precedes season 1.

He's angry at the thought that his son might not have any powers and he would just be a passing thought in total sum of his incredibly long life. Her saying she'd be happy if he didn't have powers is upsetting because he was still hoping he'd have a son to raise through the centuries, and it's like she's saying she'd be happy if died tomorrow instead of being able to life his full life. And then he understands that she doesn't know any better and the anger changes to grief because he's grieving at the "death" of his son.

And that sets up season 1 where he's accepted it, and then surprise! Mark has powers.

As someone who was super confused at Nolan suddenly making that Tails Gets Trolled face for some reason, that's actually a good interpretation imo.

I just thought he was angry at not seeing his son develop powers.
