Countdown season 1 episode 8: Mark and Amber’s future

As we start to look towards Countdown season 1 episode 8, what are some of the major stories going to be here?

Well, first and foremost, let’s just go ahead and note that there could be some huge stuff ahead for Mark (Jensen Ackles) and Amber (Jessica Camacho). How can there not be? She finally learned the truth about his brain tumor on this past episode, and we do think that this is the sort of thing that could easily deepen their relationship. Could it turn romantic? That is still possible but at the same time, you have to remember what Amber already knows about his past in that department.

Speaking to TVLine, Camacho noted that Mark’s confession “really takes [Amber] by surprise, it takes her aback … and I don’t think that’s something that she takes lightly. Him letting her into his world in that way deepens her desire to show up for him as his partner, as a human… as someone who begins to really, deeply care for this person.”

If nothing else, you can argue that this admission is going to build more of a connection between the two in the field; yet, at the same time, it is worth wondering whether or not we are going to see this tumor raise more questions about his future. Can he really still be out there? While he’s good at his job, there may be a point where he becomes a liability. Tumors are not the sort of thing that can easily be healed, so we do at least think that this is something that is going to remain a narrative for most of the rest of the season.
