It wouldnât be a finale if we didnât start with a flashback and this one offered some puzzling clues. Milwaukee 1969 â Jane is working at a diner; a man with a guitar outside begins flirting with her. She tells him her name is Miranda and sheâs from many different places; he reveals he bought her a necklace with all the nickels she has left him.
We flash to the present at Doom Manor to find Cliff stressing over t-shirts for his daughter Claraâs wedding, Vic wallowing in heartbreak and self-pity, Rita joining in on Vicâs self-pity, and Larry, well, heâs just being Larry.
However, Herschel shows up and lets our fearless heroes know about Candlemaker and the fair, so they rush out to go, once again, and stop the world from ending.
Willoughby Kipling meets them at the fair â and reveals that the Candlemaker has already unleashed an army of imaginary friends on the world to kill everyone. Rita meets her imaginary friend, Mademoiselle Roxy â an amalgamation of magazine cut-outs; Vic meets Doctor Cowboy, who looks like Silas Stone; Cliff meets Jesus.
We get to see some more of Jane/Mirandaâs past and learn exactly why Jane became primary and Miranda threw herself into the well. The personalities are also turning on Miranda as they start to question where Jane is. Even Kaye wants to know and the revelation is something no one expected.
If you havenât watched episode 9 yet, make sure you do then come back here and let us know what you thought!
WHOA!! This is one of my favorite penultimate episodes ever!
Canât wait to see the finished finale whenever that comes.
Dorothy facing the Candlemaker on her own is DOPE.
That final scene was perfect: the music, her summoning a weapon, her reaction to seeing the team was so sad/painful. Great acting all-around.
Also what a creative way to have the characters face their inner turmoil through imaginary friends.
Mirandaâs story especially was so engrossing I lost track of time.
The look of Ritaâs imaginary friend was so cool & perfectly in-tune with her character.
Kick-Ass Jesus⌠only on Doom Patrol lol
Yeah they were filming the 10th episode but because of Coronavirus shutting down productions everywhere they couldnât finish the last couple scenes they needed so we got 9.
I think this was my least favorite episode so far.
The exchange with the imaginaries fell flat for me.
The buildup with Mirandaâs boyfriend took a long chunk where the episode was flatlining and ended in a swingerâs party that felt kind of ehhh. Like when a show throws in a lot of nekkid and sex and really tries to connect it to the plot but somewhere it still doesnât feel like a natural part of the show.
Jane then pretty much going out on a hate speech against all swingers because her bf was an absolute ass also felt ehhh.
Also the whole buildup with Cliff and his daughter felt like it lost its payoff. He didnât end up with a character advancement. He also didnât get any meaningful scenes in exchange for ignoring his daughter. It just gave us a subpar Cliff episode.
Then the Covid-cutoff was just icing on the cake.
Maybe Iâm hard on it, but this episode didnât fly for me. A season finale needs to leave me wanting more to return to next season. This didnât do that for me.
That part did make me cringe honestly. Janeâs whole blanket statement on how it was all about the men in control not even knowing the girls personally if they are in the mind-set that Miranda was in or not was very ehh to me.
Only reason I look past on it a bit is because it made sense that Jane said that since she doesnât like or trust men and this whole event was the source of all that I guess.
Well looks like Cliff wonât make it to his daughterâs wedding after Jesus dismantled him. So wish they could of finished the 10th episode because I want to know what happened to Dorthy and who Miranda really is. Looking forward to the next season.
Woohoo! Go Jane. When she punched that douchebag I literally cheered. Now that I know how Janeâs personality came to be I have so much more respect for the character.
This episode just feltâŚoff. Itâs still good,but knowing that there was supposed to be 1 more episode as well as how this one ended just left meâŚdissatisfied. They need to put out episode 10 as soon as they are able. Then start on season 3 which,in my opinion, should have the return of mr nobody as well as the supervillain team the Brotherhood of Dada as a counter team to the doom patrol
It didnât feel like a finale but I completely understand the situation. I honestly was expecting a Post Credit Scene, but overall great episode. My favorite part was when Cliff asked Jesus if he didnât get in trouble for using his own name in vain LOL. Canât wait for season 3
I really expected a more âfinaleâ vibe with the conclusion of Candlemaker since the episode was called âWax Patrolâ but once we started to get Jane flashbacks I figured no way weâre getting that.
Titans Season 1 âFinaleâ flashback intensifies
Agreed. Thereâs a reason why polyamory is most prevalent in cults and other harmful groups of that sort. People who think theyâre âspreading loveâ and âexploring their freedomâ are clueless, and have no idea how much harm theyâre doing to themselves and others.
What an awesome episode! Sucks that they didnât get to film the 10th of the season. Hopefully, they can take a page from Zendayaâs book and work out the quarantine filming thing.
