My Spies Are Forever Hot Take(TM) is that Curt absolutely did the right thing by leaving Owen to die. He's still responsible for everything that got them to that moment, sure, but the actual abandonment was completely justified. The whole building was about to blow, Owen was critically injured, and there was no way Curt would have been able to get him out of the building in time. So Curt used his spy instincts and training to assess the situation in a mere heartbeat, and left because it was his only real choice. Him dying next to Owen might have been the romantic option, but it would have done nothing but ensure the failure of the mission and that his mother would be left alone and heartbroken.
As it is, it's a goddamn one-in-a-million miracle Owen survived the explosion. If Curt had done the stupid thing and moved him from that exact place and position he fell into, Owen probably wouldn't have made it. For all Owen's anger over Curt's abandonment, that decision saved their lives. It was what Owen did next that turned both of them into sad, small, and tattered shells for years.

I know it's cause he's reaching into his jacket to pull out the feather, but Owen unzipping his jacket like he needs to cool down when Curt starts talking about all the places he "gets off" will never not be funny to me.
