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 think it was actually a gut reaction to her commanding him to clean the kitchen. Remember he sees her as so below him she might as well be a pet he keeps for entertainment. He may have instinctively wanted to “put her in her place”. Then he remembers himself and feels guilty/conflicted

I don't think that was the reason. I think he was frustrated from his Viltrumite point of view that Mark was not developing his powers and therefore 'weak'. The Viltrumite thing to do would be to kill off his weak son and his mother and start again. Thus, he puts himself in a rage and moves to kill his family for a split second, but then he snaps out of it. He then feels ashamed and regretful that he had considered hurting his family even for a second.

I think it was both. Being 'ordered' by someone you considered as a 'pet' plus the frustration of Mark not having his powers yet. But I think it's the former since Mark is 12, and Omni-Man is 'used to' the fact that Mark has no powers.

I agree, that’s at least how I interpreted it but it was nice hearing everyone’s interpretation
