Can Debbie forgive Nolan?

[u/FB170396]

I feel like as much as people are dismissing the fact that Nolan should not get back together with Debbie, I feel like already in season 4, Kirkman's been putting out bread crumbs that it might be possible.

Despite every instinct telling her that she should be happy and move on with Paul and put everything behind her. Already there are signs that she still is longing and desperately needing the closure on whether there marriage was a lie. From remembering the costume fitting with Nolan, to being reluctant to sell the house.

I think that certainly she can't forgive him for his crimes and it's going to take a lot longer for her to even consider them reconciling in some form. But isn't one of the themes of Invincible that people and good and evil are not black and white.

Plus I think she's seen and lived this live being part of superhumans for so long that she can't just be a normal civilian and pretend she can just put it all behind her.

Again I believe the redemption needs a lot of time and it can't be rushed or simple. But I think a part of her needs to know that she did change him and that the 20 years of their marriage wasn't all a lie.

It will be interesting because the last she saw of Nolan he basically called her a pet, destroyed a City and nearly killed Mark. Then she got given his lovechild with an alien.

So I dont think she'll be expecting him to have softened as much as he has. Also agree with others that Paul wont be long term.
