Episode 5 saw the deaths of Dupli-Kate and Shrinking Rae at the hands of the Lizard League, which sent Rex into anger and caused him to kill the two big members of the team while having his hand chopped off. However, at the same time, King Lizard also got the drop on him and pointed his gun at his head.

Invincible season 2 episode 6 picks up from that moment and sees King Lizard actually shoot Rex in the head. Somehow, Rex still ends up surviving the shot and lays the smackdown on King Lizard before fainting and being taken into intensive care. It's also revealed that Shrinking Rae might not be fully dead as she emerges from Komodo Dragon's dead body.

Allen the Alien, at the request of Thaedus, travels to Earth to recruit Invincible so the war against Viltrumites can be discussed. However, Mark refuses to go back to space but tells Allen about the books that Omni-Man left him. He figures out that the books actually possess the secrets to a Viltrumite's weakness. Allen scans them and goes back to Thaedus, knowing that they have a fighting chance against the Viltrumites.

Invincible season 2 episode 6 teases future setups

The ending of the episode also sees three major things happen. Nolan is apparently alive and imprisoned by Viltrumites. He is being nursed back to health so that his death by combat can feel more earned. However, he is also enraged as the Viltrumite captain Kregg threatens Earth.

Rus, who thought he was free from the control of Sequids, accidentally brings one back to Earth and again falls into their control, teasing an uprising of the aliens on the planet. The post-credits scene of the episode also teases that Angstrom Levy is up to something, but it's not revealed exactly what.

We can expect the final two episodes to deal with these setups as it certainly seems like season 2 is heading for an explosive finale. Fans can check out Invincible season 2 episode 6 as it is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
