Larry’s relationship with the larva is an exciting extension of the Negative Spirit who left him at the beginning of season three. However, his dreams of having the larva taken from a show that Larry is still grappling with his feelings of inadequacy.

This episode is filler, and while it’s necessary for continuity it doesn’t serve as the most engaging material.įollowing the previous episode, Larry (Matt Bomer) has embraced the parasitic space larva as his new surrogate baby, embracing the extension of himself that he has been rejecting. Any drama of the fights is lost in the plot, which is not all that surprising for a show like this one. There is a lot of emotional fallout, but the physicality expected from a superhero show is lacking. The episode is a bit short-handed, considering “the eternal flagellation” should’ve been handled a bit more seriously for how it was built up. Rita demands accountability from Rouge for her involvement in Rita’s lover’s death, but instead, Rouge transforms into a bird flying in search of the Brotherhood of Evil. Leaving off where “Subconscious Patrol” ended, Rita Farr and Madame Rouge (Michelle Gomez) standoff, both finally only the same playing field of understanding not only their histories but their histories together. Unfortunately, Rita (April Bowlby) has other plans for the group. Rather than denying what they have been hiding about themselves, the team chooses to embrace the parts of themselves that they have been hiding from. Doom Patrol’s ninth episode, ‘Evil Patrol,’ takes on the task of the emotional aftermath of last week’s episode.
