Actually, I think Gabriel does care for Adrien very much, even if he's awkward about showing it. He's just one of those people who keeps his true feelings on the inside because he's not sure how to express them. And while I agree that the way he's been treating Adrien lately is unacceptable, I also feel like he's just going through a dark phase, and it will get better once they finally have a little bit more information. As for the events of this episode---is it possible that Gabriel couldn't hear Adrien? We know his observatory is purposefully detached somewhat from the house, and it seems heavily fortified, which might block out sound from the outside. Plus, he was a little busy at the moment as Hawk Moth, and I get the feeling that he's the kind of person who focuses 100% on something once he's really into it. I think if he'd heard Adrien screaming, he would've called the whole thing off right then and there and rushed to help his son.
