Having cheerily smiled her way through the episode, we finally get to see another side to Patty Spivot. In one of the biggest WTF moments of the show, we get to see an intense, driven side to Patty as she delivers a tingling speech to Joe West about her real reason for wanting to be on the meta-human taskforce. Here we find out that Mark Mardon, who appeared as Weather Wizard in Season 1, killed her father. Its a great, rousing and defining moment for the Patty Spivot character so early on in her run, and it pretty much gave Joe no option but to finally agree to let her work by his side.
