Super Super Mart
In 1996, May arrived at her job and was berated by her boss. She struggled to control her powers, eventually telepathically controlling him and killing the guy outright. While everyone rushes in to check, May sits, content with what’s happened. She unfortunately also loses her job too – the fourth in a year.
May meets a strange man at the bar, offering her a business card for “The Organisation” which cultivates special individuals. Of course, we know this is all a front with ties to Trigon. The man says that sometimes the brightest lights come from the darkest places.
There is no fee or friends required to sign up for the card, but the creator encourages people to turn it over and three words will appear. He tells her to say these words out loud and something happens. Similar to how Mother Mayhem tried to instill this on Sebastian, when she says these words, something happens. ..
May Bennett is at The Organisation, encouraged to have faith as “He” wants to meet her. A month later, all the girls are blindfolded and standing before a large hole in the ground. They each tumble backwards, taking a leap of faith into the darkness. Only one can be triumphant and that comes from Mother Mayhem, who goes out of her way to make sure her companion tumbles and she comes out victorious.
Dick and Kory discuss the possibility of doing something with Sebastian. They discuss the Red Moon song Kory has been hearing, while Rachel offers Sebastian some company. He admits he’s been hardly sleeping lately and that May Bennett wanted her to repeat three words.
It seems like the cycle is repeating again. Rachel may be transferring the demons from herself to Sebastian. When Sebastian says the first word, Rachel recognizes them and tells him to stop quickly. ..
Although the gang are confident no one survived the fire at the asylum, this latest revelations has certainly changed their mind. As the gang head off, Tim is filled in on the gaps in this story, with Rachel’s father in charge of everything and the events leading to Trigon’s return. When Sebastian hears the word Trigon, he soon perks up, seemingly hiding something from the others.
The Super Super Mart is gone, but in its place is a Super Super Mart.Apparently it’s just an ordinary store but a ridiculous amount of ravens circling outside seem to tell another story. The Titans head in round the back and find a suspicious looking entrance. Bennett and the others are aware of what’s happening, watching on their monitors, and intent on letting Sebastian learn about his destiny and origins. “Hounds of Hell, it’s time.” She smiles, as a whole bunch of men head out from the Mart, armed with an array of weapons.
The Titans (and Jinx) descend into the basement to find Sebastian with a photo of Bennett and Gina. It would seem that these guys have been keeping an eye on Bennett all this time, and the fire at the asylum inadvertently let Bennett out, who was chained up in the basement all this time. ..
So, what happened? Well, it turns out that May fell pregnant but as it was a boy, it didn’t fulfill the prophecy and was “removed.” Rachel is the one they were waiting for all this time, as we know from the events of season 1. ..
Rachel hacks at a guy with a chainsaw, and the other Titans are killed. Jinx decides to just kill Sebastian and be done with it.
Connor manages to hold off the group momentarily and as they manage to lock the door and buy themselves some time. However, they walk right into a trap as a zombified Deathstroke appears and begins firing on them all. Connor decides to hold him off, punching his head clean from his shoulders. However, that’s not the end though as Deathstroke replaces his head and marches on them again. Bennett happens to be controlling them all from afar, and unfortunately Connor is stabbed with a knife.
Although the Titans manage to break free and escape, Conner is not okay. He heads into the bathroom and vomits up one of those snakes. He lies to the others, claiming he’s okay, but he very clearly is not. ..
The Episode Review
This week’s episode of Titans sees the return of May Bennett (Brianna Hildebrand) and her past with The Organisation. It would seem that Sebastian (Harry Lennix) is the key to everything right now and it remains to be seen exactly how long they’ll be able to keep him safe. ..
Conner appears to be infected now too, and it could only be a matter of time before he turns to the dark side and ends up corrupted, especially if Jinx’s conversation about Superman being evil is anything to go by. That line felt like an intentional foreshadowed nod toward what’s to come. ..
The cliffhanger in question is whether or not the show will continue with its current story line. With so many potential storylines and no end in sight, it’s hard to say for sure what will happen next. However, whatever happens, everything is left wide open for the rest of the season and that tantalizing enough to stick with season 4 to see what route this is likely to go next.
