* JerkassHasAPoint: There's no question that Marcus is deeply rude to and about Carter, but he's not wrong to be concerned that his sister has married a man so different from herself that it's hard to see what they have in common, and who she didn't even tell her family she was dating.
Added DiffLines:
* ParentalFavoritism: When Allison asks how their parents are, Marcus says they're fine and that Allison is "still their favourite" despite his accomplishments. It's not said with any resentment and could be a joke, but could also cast another light on his spotlight-hogging behaviour.

His new processor has power requirements that drain his emotional software, leading to a rampage where he drains any source of power regardless of what it powers. He electrocutes Jo when she tries to persuade him to come in, nearly hits her and Zane with his car when they track him down, and finally tries to drain SARAH's RTG before he's subdued long enough for Allison to make him realise something's wrong.
