INVINCIBLE SEASON 3 EPISODE 6 ENDING EXPLAINED

There’s never just one villain in an Invincible season. There’s usually one big villain, but then we get episodes with smaller villains. That’s the case in Invincible season 3, episode 6.

Caution: This post contains SPOILERS for Invincible season 3, episode 6.


There are often small moments in episodes that we usually overlook. They don’t tend to have much of a big impact on our main protagonists. However, they do have a big impact on other characters. This episode brings up an event from the first season. Do you remember when Mark and Nolan fought in Chicago? There was the building that collapsed and Mark tried his hardest to save a mom and a little girl. In the end, he couldn’t save either of them.

Most shows wouldn't bother to show the aftermath of somethign like this. Movies and TV shows with superheroes keep the focus on the main protagonists and antagonists. That’s not the case with Invincible. This episode put the focus on a family member of those two victims, showing us how villains can be made.


Invincible season 3, episode 6 review, "All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry"
The episode starts with a flashback to just before the attack. We get to know Scott Duvall, the brother of Jess and the uncle of Gretchen, the mother and daughter killed despite Mark trying to save them. We see the aftermath of the attack. Scott wants justice, and it’s a fair request.

While Mark was attempting to save the world from Omni-Man, the two of them together caused a lot of damage and death. Yes, there would have been a lot more if Omni-Man had his way, but to those whose lives are destroyed, those distinctions may not matter.


The city officials say they can’t hold superheroes accountable for their ways of defending the Earth from unimaginable harm. If they did, then the superheroes wouldn’t offer their services. Why run the risk of being arrested for a death that you didn’t intentionally cause or want?

But that’s not good enough for Scott. We see him develop into the villain that he views Invincible to be. He becomes Powerplex, using GDA technology to enhance his own electrical abilities. Everyone around him is scared, but he doesn’t see that he is the problem. He doesn’t see that what he thinks is the right thing is actually wrong.

Of course, he doesn’t know Mark personally. He doesn’t realize that Mark hates the fact that he has failed to save so many people as Invincible. He holds those losses close to him, and they make him a better good guy.


Scott’s actions lead to devastating consequences
Eventually, Scott gets Mark’s attention. He uses his wife and son as bait to get Invincible to show up. It was clear as the two fought that something drastic was going to happen. I thought it was going to be rubble falling on top of Scott’s wife and son, but in the end, it's much worse.

Scott uses his powers to electrocute Invincible. While it just winds him and causes a little it of damage, Scott’s wife and child are killed and left as charred remains. For many people, these devastating consequences would lead them to rethink their actions, but not Scott. He continues to blame Invincible for everything that's happened.


These are two more deaths that Mark will carry with him, though. He will continue to find ways to get people to safety before they become accidental casualties. The thing is, Mark won’t know the full story here. He will probably never find out that Scott’s wife wasn’t exactly an innocent victim, as she supported Scott in his revenge and offered herself up as bait. It’s the baby, Jack, who didn’t deserve any of it.

In the end, Scott is weakened by the loss long enough to end up captured by the GDA. They lock him away, but it’s clear that he remains a dangerous foe. I doubt that this is the last we’ve seen of him.


Rae, Rex, and Amanda get more development
I did enjoy spending some time with both Rae and Amanda in this episode. In the previous episode, we got a bit of time with Rae and Rex as their feelings for each other developed. Rex was adorable in his attempt to cook dinner for Rae. This episode continues that.

Rae shares that she is quitting the team. She doesn’t want to be a superhero anymore, but she wants to go back to a normal life. Rex is shocked and hurt to learn this. He thought their relationship was going somewhere. While it potentially was, Rae just wants to be normal.

We see this kind of thing a lot in these types of shows. There’s the burden of saving the world and not getting a life outside of that. The Spider-Man quote of “great power comes with great responsibility” will always stand out, but there is always the question of “what about my life?” at the same time.
