Episode 5 of Season 3 of "Invincible" kicks off with a dramatic prison breakout. Despite being confined within iron bars, Multi-Paul retains his incredible ability to multiply, and his clones proliferate to such an extent that they surge against the door, shattering the glass in a thunderous explosion. The original Multi-Paul, cleverly dangling from the rafters, orchestrates this ingenious escape, while his myriad clones create a chaotic diversion, confusing and distracting the guards. It seems that Multi-Paul is on the brink of freedom… until a sudden tagging device halts his progress.
Kate visits him in his cell, her heart heavy with despair as she realizes that his stunt will only add more years to his sentence. Tension crackles between them, rooted in their troubled past. We delve deeper into the backstory of Paul and Kate, revealing how, as unaware children with nascent powers, they drove their father to the brink of madness with clones scattered throughout their house. Unfortunately, they were apprehended and subjected to experiments, orphans of both fate and family. Despite their ordeal, the siblings remained close, but Paul found himself an outsider in the systematic world. Fuelled by anger at their father's abandonment and their treatment as lab rats, Paul fled, ultimately landing in the clutches of The Order as an assassin.
It becomes evident that Paul's breakout is not an isolated event. Mr. Liu, desperate to reclaim his assassin, issues dire threats to Titan, warning of consequences for his daughter's wellbeing if he doesn't act swiftly and spring Paul from prison. With little room for negotiation, Titan makes his way to the prison to confront Machine Head.
Elsewhere, Oliver betrays his brother without hesitation when Mark and Eve join him for breakfast. He casually reveals their slumber party, but the mood turns awkward when Mark broaches the subject of moving out. Debbie attempts to lighten the tense atmosphere with a forced smile, urging her son to stay, but acknowledging the inevitable truth that all children must eventually leave the nest.
The duo is deeply committed to their plan and resolves to embark on a quest to secure part-time employment, enabling them to cover their rental expenses. Eve establishes a fresh venture, cloaked under the moniker of Invincible Inc., even crafting professional emails to complement the endeavor.
Returning home, Mark is astounded when Debbie uncovers Oliver's mysterious nocturnal escapades. Mark decides to follow his brother discreetly, only to discover that Oliver has been engaging in playful antics with his peers. However, their cheerful moment is abruptly disrupted by the appearance of some bullies. Rather than resorting to violence, Oliver employs his incredible speed to humiliate them by pulling down their trousers. Though Mark is undoubtedly apprehensive, Oliver's innovative approach seems to ease his worries momentarily.
Meanwhile, as Rae and Rex share a meal, a chance encounter with Machine Head leads Titan to unexpectedly seek assistance from Mark. Titan references The Order and boasts about his positive impact on the neighborhood, warning that failure to resolve Mr. Liu's issue will result in a regression of all their hard-won gains.
Shortly thereafter, Mr. Liu storms into Titan's office, furious to discover that Multi-Paul remains imprisoned. In a fit of rage, he transforms into a colossal dragon and launches an assault on the prison, prompting Eve and Mark to intervene. The battle spills inside, where cells are shattered and prisoners, including Multi-Paul, escape into the fray.
Despite Eve appearing to gain the advantage, Multi-Paul manages to slip through their grasp, while Mark grapples with the formidable dragon. Suddenly, Machine Head reappears in the office and terminates Mr. Liu's human form, which served as the host for the dragon's formidable presence.
Titan remains very much alive as well, revealing that the entire orchestration was merely a cunning maneuver aimed at eliminating Liu. Mark finds himself in a quandary, having just assisted The Order, yet the circumstances seem to be taking a turn for the better—at least for the time being. Machine Head has ascended to the helm, while Titan bids farewell to The Order, oblivious to the fact that Multi-Paul has successfully broken free from his prison confines.
Back in the comfort of their home, Mark and Eve engage in a heartfelt conversation. They conclude that it would be wiser to proceed with caution, deciding against rushing into getting an apartment.Debbie, upon discovering this decision, is overjoyed.
