Inside Man
Rachel and Sebastian sit in silence for a few moments, before Rachel breaks the silence. “I know you’re upset with me, but I had to do what I had to do.” She looks away from Sebastian and takes a deep breath. “I’m sorry that I couldn’t save you.”
That’s more difficult said than done though when Connor is infected and inside STAR Labs; the huge snake is on the loose. Jinx needs the snake captured in order to attempt to work her magic, so there’s nothing else for it but to search the labs. Gar heads off with Jinx, with the latter talking about his visions and how the place Gar has been visiting is called “The Red.”
Connor is possessed by a demon and gets close to Sebastian. Thankfully, the Titans manage to suss out what’s happened and tie down Connor with kryptonite cuffs after blindsiding him. Kory and Raven take Sebastian out to downtown Metropolis, to that same diner that Kory ended up seeing several episodes back.
Jinx and the others decide to do a magical expulsion to free Connor from his curse. Given that he’s now being controlled and acting awry, they don’t have much other choice. It’s time for Operation: Trojan Horse Virus. Essentially, Gar is to head inside Connor’s body undetected as a virus. Given that he can rearrange his DNA, it should theoretically be possible for Gar to scramble down to that microscopic level.
The theory is that if Gar’s virus becomes a carrier for Jinx’s Blue Ash, then it will be able to undo the infection. However, if Connor dies then so does Gar. There is no exit strategy for getting Gar back out again, so this plan is very risky. ..
The plan goes ahead and Gar’s virus begins to spread. The Titans twiddle their thumbs and pray. Gar’s plan works, and as Connor goes into cardiac arrest, Dick quickly gives him some adrenaline to stop him crashing. The snake slithers out of Connor’s mouth but it’s Tim who manages to slay the creature and save them all. As for Gar, they free him from Connor and he becomes whole once more.
Kory learns that her purpose in this world is fated to kill, not save, Sebastian. However, when Mother Mayhem suddenly shows up at the diner, Kory ends up fighting with her. Sebastian sacrifices himself to save Kory’s life, given she’s easily outfought, and decides to say the three words of Trigon out loud, protecting the Titans from being killed. In doing so though, has he plunged the world into chaos?
The Episode Review
This week on Titans, Mother Mayhem finally gets her hands on Sebastian and Connor is no longer infected. Tim also has a heroic moment to savour. ..
This fourth season of “The Walking Dead” has been pretty lackluster so far though and compared to some of the earlier stories, this one has been taking its time to get to the good stuff. Now that Mayhem has her hands on Sebastian though, it looks set to really plunge the world into a dystopian nightmare. Can our heroes come out of this on top?
