i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again; the scene on bracca where Wrecker is showing Omega how to diffuse bombs is much deeper than a silly little intro to the episode.

the episode before, wrecker succumbed to his inhibitor chip just before they could take it out. he attacked his family and, against his wishes, hurt them. and while it’s very obvious they don’t hold it against him at all, i think this scene is showing just how much that affected him (let me be delusional).

he knows his brothers know how he works. he may be the demolitions expert, but his brothers aren’t dumb and could likely diffuse many of them if needed. he trusts that if something like that were to happen again, his brothers would be able to protect themselves from him. they’ve already proven such capabilities when crosshair’s chip activated.

but omega is young, and new. she doesn’t know everything about how the batch works yet. she certainly doesn’t know how to work with wrecker’s weapon expertise. and after what happened on that ship in bracca, that scares wrecker. he doesn’t want her to be utterly helpless against him if for some reason the rest of the batch isn’t there to protect her.

wrecker is not just teaching her how to diffuse a bomb to protect herself in general. he’s teaching her his work so if something were to happen to him again, omega can protect herself from him. the chip may be gone, but that trauma and fear certainly isn’t.
