What I Liked

1. The opening scene when we see Paul inside of the prison. For an escape from prison, his attempt is… let’s say unique. We see him clone himself many of times, and then hide on the ceiling while his clones are making clones of himself to the point where they all get crushed and the weight of the bodies manages to barge the door open is crazy.

2. Oliver sneaks out of the house and Eve and Mark follow him and come to realize that he just wants to spend time with friends. This is when Mark gets tense as older kids begin to bully Oliver but all Oliver does is turn the bullies into jokes.

3. Titan begins to attack the prison to get Mark’s attention. They two begin to fight but Titan powers down and explains to Mark about The Order and what happens if they take out Titan. He also explains that the leader of The Order can turn into a dragon. Titan also gives Mark the slip, very easily.

4. I do like how Mark’s mother agrees with Mark about Oliver being allowed to be a normal kid and not hidden all the time. Oliver should be trained as a hero later down the line but for now, let him be a kid.

What I Disliked

Nothing to report.

Favorite Moment

My favorite moment would be seeing Mark and Eve literally go up against a dragon. Yes, a dragon. Eve and Mark work as a really great team to take the fight to the dragon. Eve goes up against Paul who uses his abilities to try to escape the prison.

Standout Character

I’m going to give this to Titan. He fully told Mark the truth but also used Mark to his own advantage. Pretty smart by Titan.

Verdict

Overall a solid episode. While the story may have suffered so that the action towards the episode delivered some fantastic action it still was good enough for a solid story. The overall story of Titan being this mastermind who also killed his enemy while using Invincible to do so was actually really good.
