Anissa was legitimately terrifying. Having Cecil run through every option and realise there was just nothing they could do was awful in all the right ways. Telling Mark to lie to her, to proclaim himself a conqueror because it's better than his immediate death, damn. Not physically, but mentally Mark truly is-

All this time he's been planning for a what-if scenario of Nolan returning to Earth, and he has literally nothing to show for it to stop a single Viltrimite?

Cecil expected Nolan. It's mentioned in the episode that Anissa is beyond Nolan's demonstrated strength. We know Mark can hold his own and defeat a single Viltrumite (Thula) in combat. We don't know how big the gap is between Mark and Nolan, just that Nolan is still stronger than Mark by a good margin. It will take time for Mark to catch up. Cecil mentions taking measures to beef Mark up in this episode.

Likewise, the Reanimen were still in progress. He can't instantly make all these measures happen.

It’s stated Anissa is beyond Nolan’s speed, not strength. I think they’re going to keep Nolan as the strongest character until either Allen gets stronger or they introduce the inevitable “big bad” Viltrumite.
