Comments
This episode goes a long way in increasing how much I care about the success and survival of Niki, D.L., and Micah as a family.
Nits
Did Nathan have time to fly Peter to an isolated location (like in some desert), then leave him there alone until he explodes? Nathan possibly could have lived in that scenario. And why didn’t Peter simply absorb Nathan’s power and fly off on his own?
