All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry

In a flashback, Global Defense Agency (GDA) employee Scott Duvall loses his sister Jessica and niece Gretchen amidst Omni-Man and Mark Grayson / Invincible's battle throughout Chicago.{{efn|As depicted in the first season episode "Where I Really Come From".}} In the present, Scott, consumed by grief and rage, steals GDA technology to augment his natural ability to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. Taking the name "Powerplex", he repeatedly terrorizes Chicago in failed attempts at luring and challenging Mark. After defeating Guardians of the Globe member Shapesmith, Scott flees to his wife Becky and son Jack.

Meanwhile, Mark struggles with his role as a superhero and attempting to move forward while grappling with his moral uncertainties. Elsewhere, Rudy Connors builds a device to help his friend Amanda / Monster Girl, whose transformation powers de-ages her body every time she uses them, while Shrinking Rae tells Rex Splode she plans to retire from superhero work. Initially uncertain, feeling that his superhero identity is all he has, Rex ultimately accepts Rae's decision.

Becky convinces a desperate Scott to stage her and Jack's kidnappings to lure Mark into a trap. In the ensuing fight, Scott inadvertently kills his family before Mark defeats him. Devastated by the unintended consequences of his presence, Mark is forced to confront the ripple effects of his existence as a superhero while Scott is taken into GDA custody. Returning home, Mark's girlfriend Atom Eve attempts to console him, but he remains withdrawn.

Concurrently, the supervillain Angstrom Levy, having survived his last encounter with Mark,{{efn|As depicted in the second season episode "I Thought You Were Stronger".}} uses his multiversal powers to assemble an army of Invincible variants from across the multiverse.

William Hughes of The AV Club noted that the episode benefits from its concentrated storytelling, especially as it delves into one of the series' most significant themes—the consequences of superhuman conflicts on ordinary lives.{{Cite web |title=Invincible goes full baby-killing bleak |url=https://www.avclub.com/invincible-recap-season-3-episode-6-all-i-can-say-is-im-sorry |access-date=2025-03-12 |website=AV Club |language=en-US}} Phil Weaver of Only Comic Universe gave the episode a nine out of ten, describing it as "a solid and very touching episode." He highlighted the powerful flashback to the Omni-Man and Invincible fight, which seamlessly transitions into the present-day narrative.{{Cite web |last=Weaver |first=Phil |date=2025-02-27 |title=Invincible "All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry" Review |url=https://www.onlycomicuniverse.com/invincible-all-i-can-say-is-im-sorry-review/ |access-date=2025-03-12 |website=Only Comic Universe |language=en-US}} Siddhant Adlakha of IGN praised "All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry", for its return to impactful storytelling. Adlakha highlighted the episode’s use of a flashback to the large-scale devastation caused by Omni-Man in the first-season finale, noting how it effectively reinforces the emotional and narrative stakes of the series. Adlakha contrasted this approach with the earlier episodes of the third season, which he felt downplayed the consequences of violence. He concluded that the episode successfully restores the emotional weight that has been central to Invincible's appeal.{{Cite web |last=Adlakha |first=Siddhant |date=2025-02-27 |title=Invincible Season 3, Episode 6 Review – "All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry" |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/invincible-season-3-episode-6-review-all-i-can-say-is-im-sorry |access-date=2025-03-12 |website=IGN |language=en}}
