Recap / Runaways (2017) S03E08: "Devil's Torture Chamber"

Go To

When two strangers come to town, Nico takes advantage of their expertise to help search for a missing Runaway.


  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Goes both ways: Cloak and Dagger have a hard time accepting this tale of aliens, witches and a dinosaur just as Nico has a tough time taking two super-powered beings fighting an evil corporation.
  • My Friends... and Zoidberg:
    Victor: Some of the world's most brilliant minds in this room...and Dale.
    Dale: Not cool, bro.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • The image that Tandy sees of Alex wielding the other Runaways abilities is taken from the comics, where he manipulates events into doing exactly that.
    • Cloak and Dagger also crossed over with The Runaways in the first volume of the comic.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Tandy sees Karolina and Nico as light and dark balancing each other, much like with herself and Ty.
  • Oh, Crap!: Tandy saw Alex's hope - which is of him using the abilities and tools of the other Runaways.
  • Real After All: Ty's reaction to Old Lace.
  • Sadistic Choice: AWOL tells Alex to kill his mother to save his friends and for their freedom.
  • Threat Backfire: When Cloak threatens to go into Nico's head to "find your greatest hopes and Ty can bring out your deepest fears," Nico just snorts as she's already been through that.
