I feel super bad for Debbie man she deserves the best. Also idk if this is an unpopular opinion but after this episode I sorta like Amber a bit more.

The way this episode ended though shocked me.

Feels like they’re trying to make up for the whole “I knew you were a hero the whole time” thing. Don’t think they expected her to be so hated after that so they made her as sweet as possible this season lol

I think she was lying about it, back then.

She was so pent up with anger that Mark never showed up and never gave her a reason for letting her down constantly that she let her emotions do the talking there, dismissing the "I'm actually a superhero" excuse completely.

And she was right on blaming him for not telling her about his identity, since they've been dating for so long and it can be interpreted as a sign of distrust. It's as Eve tells him later ("yeah, don't tell your identity to anyone right off the bat, but don't also leave them hanging forever").

She acted as a person would and I really love the writing of the show in general.
