Starfire (to Nightwing): "Are you telling me I just dosed all of Gotham?"
That would be exactly what you just did, Kory. To be fair, Crane did manage to trick everyone and used Jason's own attempts of redemption against him. This episode alone highlighted what a deeply pathetic and insecure version of Crane looks like.
Jason was done with Crane's bullshit and abandoned him and even Jonathan's own mother had built a life away from him, effectively replacing him with another child. Crane then looked her when she betrayed him to the GCPD and essentially ruined Jason's chances of making it up with the Titans for now. Not to mention shooting Tim and poisoning the city's water supply.
For a character who has been hyped this season, Tim Drake's appearances have been far less than expected. However in this episode, he figured out everything about Dick, Jason, Batman, Titans, etc, wanted to become the new Robin and even tracked down both Jason and Crane before getting shot by the latter.
If nearly being killed by Crane doesn't put Tim off from wanting to be the next Boy Wonder, then nothing really should. He certainly has the detective skills and he'd easily fit with the current group. However I'm not expecting Tim to assume the mantle, at least not until next season.
As for Jason, we're five episodes away from the finale and the path t o his redemption definitely is complicated. Gar's the only one who wants him back with Blackfire being non judgmental. Dick was willing to give Jason a chance but both Kory and Connor seemed against the idea. For now though, Jason's gonna have to work harder to win his former friends over.
As for Crane, he got one over on the Titans but lost an ally with Jason. Unless he has more allies to his cause, he's more or less outnumbered against them. Also with poisoning the water supply, where else can he really go at this point as a villain this season?
- Conner and Blackfire are sleeping together and Kory figured it out pretty fast. Kory was also getting visions and it seems her Mother's behind them.
- The Titans got their own signal in the sky, which went red at the end of the episode, giving me vibes of Batman & Robin.
- All episode long, the roof in Barbara's office was leaking, only for it then to collapse because of Crane's latest scheme. Jason also had two sex workers role play Hank and Dawn so he could apologise.
- Chronology: Two days since the events of Lady Vic.
Home might be where Jason wanted to go this week but he has s long journey ahead towards redemption and Scarecrow certainly intends to make it as difficult for him. Tim also seem determined to make a go,e with the Titans and he too has a journey ahead of him. This wasn't the best episode of the season but stronger than I thought it would be.
Rating: 7 out of 10
