while watching how she was reacting

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

...did you miss the part where Thaedus cut off Allen's life support.

u/Broad_Speaker2551 Nov 17 '23

That doesn’t support the fact that he’s the mole at all…

How does it not? Why would he kill him if he's the good guy?

I don’t think a single “good guy” or “bad guy” exists in this show. Every character is just doing what they think is for the best according to their individual morals. It’s entirely possible (and most likely IMO) that Thaedus’ reason for turning off the life support is some kind of sacrifice for the greater good, and we simply don’t have enough information to understand it yet. More importantly, why would he let Allen in on his suspicions of there being a mole if it was actually him? Surely he would have known that the Viltrumites were already on their way to deal with Allen, so that would be pointless.

Doesn't Allen have some weird regen powers where every time he dies he comes back stronger than before? Maybe Optimus Prime knows that & is trying to make him stronger by "killing" him rather than having their technology save him & him not level up his strength.
