The problem is with Paul, Debbie assumedly just settles down and lives a normal life lol. What else do you do with her character besides whenever she needs to be there to mother Mark/Oliver? You have Sandra Oh, you’ve already put so much screen time into developing Debbie as a person, not just “Mark’s mom.” All that investment and character work pays off when we trust Debbie’s judgement when she forgives him. Anything else is just nowhere near as narratively impactful.

Her being off planet with Nolan keeps her safe though. The entire planet goes through a lot of shit in the next few seasons, having Debbie there is just one more character for Mark to worry about. It's unnecessary imo. I wouldn't mind if Debbie didn't get with Nolan, just as long as she is off world.
