I just caught up...
And this whole time...it was all because of Iris. Yet no matter what the original Gideon would do, it wouldn't be enough.
While I can understand him, it still doesn't excuse for all the lives that he had ruined, either in the first timeline or the current. The relationship between OG Gideon and Iris is toxic from the get-go as a result of two neglected children with either high or zero explanations.
OG Gideon wanted Iris' love...Iris wanted the love of EVERYTHING.
I have a feeling that Iris wouldn't be like her namesake and find gold at the end of the rainbow...only bad news.
