Invincible 402 "I'll Give You The Grand Tour" Synopsis

Created by: Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, Cory Walker

Episode Written by: Simon Racioppa

Directed by: Jason Zurek

On the way to Talescria, home of the Coalition of Planets, Nolan recounts his ruthless Viltrumite upbringing to Allen the alien, detailing how he taught young cadets and was severely beaten by his parents to prove his adulthood. 

Shortly after, a devastating biological weapon, the Scourge virus, decimated the Viltrumites, including Nolan's parents. The Grand Regent quarantined the sick, blockaded the planet, and exterminated all alien slaves aware of the plague to protect their biggest flaw. 

The few remaining Viltrumites spread across the galaxy to find genetically compatible species, such as humans, for reproduction. 

On Talescria, Thaedus reveals he is the infamous Betrayer who assassinated the famous Viltrumite leader Emperor Argall which led to the initial cleanse of the species. 

Utilizing Nolan's knowledge, Allen helps covertly gather scattered ancient weapons and allies, including Space Racer and toxic Sinlak beetles for the Coalition to help destroy the Viltrimite threat. 

When they return, Thaedus privately confesses to Nolan that he also engineered the Scourge virus and possesses an improved strain. Though angered, Nolan departs to recruit his son from Earth after Thaedus assures the virus is only a last resort. 

Meanwhile, on the Viltrumite homeworld, Conquest returns and reports his failure to Grand Regent Thragg
