I guess now I can send my earlier questions directly to Mashima without even having to reword them:

Why would Silver do something so cruel to his son? Gray didn't gain anything from this stupid fight other than maybe the trauma of having to kill his own father? And he really might have effectively killed himself by using Iced Shell. Sure we knew he wouldn't, but how would Silver know that?

I'm not completely ready to cry bullshit yet, but I hope next week we'll get some really good explanations for this, because right now it makes no sense.
