I am actually going insane over the difference in how Hunter and Wrecker approach the whole situation this episode. Both are obviously prioritizing Omega's safety. Both know and understand how important getting the information they need is and that getting it can and will cost them. And yet...
Hunter is doing exactly what we expected him to do after last episode - he's hyperfocused on protecting Omega and getting the information at all and any cost. His desperation is showing in the way he is willing to do literally ANYTHING to get it, the shadiest, most dangerous things - he doesn't like doing it, he'd rather not be doing it, but he does it without a word of objection, and almost without a thought about his own wellbeing and no I do not want to think where it might lead. He's doing it because he must, because that's the only way to keep Omega safe. Even Fennec notices this:
"Just seems odd. You're both willing to work for me, considering our past. That information must really be important to you."
Every time he's about to dive into the water or do anything else risky this episode, I can almost hear his brain going for Omega, for Omega, for Omega.
But Wrecker is more careful. He'll follow Hunter anywhere and do whatever it takes but he's threading carefully. He's pointing out risks and second guessing every move:
"Yeah, I don't like it. We can't trust Fennec. Not around Omega."
---
"We're working for her now? We don't even trust her."
[Hunter] "What choice do we have? We need that information."
---
"it's risky" about disarming booby-traps
---
"Oh so we take all the risk and you get all the reward?"
and only doing it when Hunter gives him a go. He's even growing frustrated and then really getting pissed at the way Fennec is using them to do her dirty work and risk their lives while she stays on lookout (for real, that "You heard me!" sounded real furious.)
And it's probably because they've already lost Tech, then Omega got captured and now Wrecker just doesn't want to take unnecessary risks. And it's also a matter of yeah we're doing this for Omega, but we're no good to her if we end up dead.
I'm really excited (and scared) to see how this develops further.
