00:22of digging into MM's relationship with them.

00:29former often overshadowing the latter.

00:37a team like The Boys doesn't leave much time for personal relationships.

00:41Episode 6 may push MM to re-evaluate his priorities especially if he believed his life was truly

00:47in danger.

00:48It's not just the fact that his panic attack nearly jeopardized the mission though he'll

00:53likely consider this a reason to step down.

00:59serious consequences.

01:01It may even impact his ability to be there for his daughter which is something he'll

01:05want to avoid.

01:11Boys.

01:16But his anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder aren't new.

01:20MM was already living with OCD when The Boys began and his condition has been referenced

01:25and alluded to during the earlier seasons of the show.

01:33that his OCD started after Soldier Boy attacked his family.

01:42believes the soup will return.

01:49the course of the show.

02:07some of the external pressure that's increasing his stress.
