while watching how she was reacting

I have a suspicion that she is, in fact, the mole.

I don't fully buy that he's the mole. Beyond the fact that it'd be too obvious, why would he even mention there being a mole? Especially if he knew the viltrumites would come anyway? Seems like an unnecessary way to draw suspicion. Shutting off the life support could also be as much to make sure the viltrumites couldn't get information on Mark out of him, and he did apologize as he did it.

I kind of agree with you, but still, how much more info can they get from Allen that they couldn't get from anyone else from the council who was present when Allen told them about Mark? They all know Mark is from Earth, is Optimus Prime guy going to silence the whole council?

Given how powerful they are in the first place I don't really get why they couldn't just wipe out their whole operation right then and there.

I got a feeling that the Coalition has some pretty powerful weaponry or tech that could kill Viltrumites, while the Viltrumites could just blitz through the Coalition soldiers. They’re essentially at a stalemate, which is why either side hasn’t been annihilated yet. Either side could attack, but it would result in both sides taking heavy losses, so they just sorta dance around each other
