it appears as if MM's obsession and need to take down the Supes (as result of his trauma from Soldier Boy) drove him from his marriage and being an up close father to his daughter. It also looks as if MM in a sense drove his ex to the current boyfriend since it appears he is the opposite of MM in numerous ways.
As much as the tugging at the heart string moments bothered me in the seventh episode, I do like how the different plates were spun in terms of how so many characters are at odds with each other for various reasons.
The big reveal at the end was nicely done given how completely different Homelander's origin was explained in the comics. A very small part of me wonders how much Garth Ennis likes how much this show has diverged from his comics, especially given how different the AMC Preacher show diverged from those comics as well.
