* Sent back in time to 1996, Jane and Larry figure out what year it was because they find Cliff just standing in his room. Jane mentions that 1996 was the year that Niles told Cliff that his whole family was dead, and Cliff just literally shut down until 2004.
* Sent back to the night that Niles stole the pendant of Immortus from Fuchtopia, Cliff accidentally throws Niles against a bar, paralyzing him below the waist, creating the conditions that would drive Niles to start Project Immortus and the Doom Patrol. Cliff is rightly horrified by what he's done, especially since he realizes that he's done to Niles almost exactly the same thing that he's long accused Niles of doing to him - preventing him from being with his daughter. And the worst part? Niles' memories of that night were not erased, so Cliff has to live with the knowledge that for all those years, Niles remembered what he'd done and never brought it up, never rubbed it in Cliff's face.
* Laura bungles her mission when she encounters her past self and is filled with such self-loathing that she beats her other self with the "WEAPON" stamp, completely forgetting that she's there to steal part of Niles' pendant.
* At the end of the episode, none of members managed to get part of their longevity back, so now they're all going into a final battle with Immortus and the butts only marginally better off than they were before.

* When Rita is broken out of the illusion, she bemoans the fact that she's a monster again. Laura tries to cheer her up, saying that ''she's'' never seen Rita as a monster, to which Rita bitterly responds that that's because in their relationship, ''Laura'' was the monster.

* This is easily the grimmest episode of the entire series, as each of the four main characters faces a ravage related to their former immortality.
** Rita is stricken with painful arthritis that's driving her to actually surrender to her blob-like state simply to relieve the pain.
** Larry's already-burned skin is breaking apart as his resistance to his own radiation degrades, causing bloody patches to appear on his bandages. On top of that, Rama has reluctantly abandoned him; unable to find a cure for his degeneration, Rama has chosen to return to Tamil Nadu, go for a swim, and then transmute himself into lead so that he'll sink far enough so that nobody will be harmed if he really does explode.
** Cliff's joints are all locking up; he can't even drive safely anymore because his foot locks up on the accelerator. With no way to get to Florida, he's facing the prospect that he may die without ever seeing his family again.
** Jane finally discovers why she's been unable to reach the Underground since losing her longevity - she has dementia and it's destroying the Underground and all the alters within; when she finally manages to access the station for a few seconds, she finds it abandoned, strewn about with the abandoned clothing of her oldest alters, like Pretty Polly and Mama Pentecost. Worse, without the Underground to control her memories, she's having vivid flashbacks to her abuse at the hands of Daddy.
* Dr. Yu had formed a somewhat happy life with Nicholas, the last intelligent butt, but then his twin Teddy went and infected her, turning her into a were-butt. While she's perfectly fine with it, as she and Nicholas can now truly be together, Nicholas is horrified, as he fears for Margaret's safety now that she's no longer completely human.

* The whole team starts the episode completely demoralized, as they completely failed to stop Immortus from rising and they're all too weak to stop her from lurching her way to Cloverton.
* Jane is still pissed at Cliff and refuses to talk to him.
* Casey's quest to save her father has well and truly failed and she's so desperate for a new mission that when Dorothy suggests that she try and help the other Doom Patrol members, she decides to try and help Jane clean up her room, which naturally gets her yelled at by Jane.
* After misinterpreting Dorothy's offer of Niles' old wheelchair as an insult, Cliff accidentally lets slip that he saw Niles' ghost back when Dorothy was still living at the house and never told her. He immediately realizes what a shitty thing that was to tell her, but doubles down on it out of stubbornness, telling Dorothy that he's just an asshole and she should've expected that he do something like that.
* After much prodding by Dorothy, Cliff admits that he doesn't believe that he deserves love or pity, because all he does is fuck everything up and it will be better for everyone if he just dies. Dorothy is actually livid at this, pointing out that his death would only be easy for ''him'', while everyone who loves him - his family, the Doom Patrol, and Dorothy herself - would grieve for him.

* While Immortimas (and the revelation that it was all a parallel dimension) was hard for everyone, Dorothy and Casey take it especially hard when it crumbles, as Immortimas was the first time Dorothy ever felt loved and appreciated and now she doesn't know if any of the others cared about her or if Immortus made them care about her. For Casey, it's just as bad, because she had feelings for Jane, but Jane's apparent reciprocation of those feelings was only part of the illusion. At the end of the episode, Dorothy and Casey both decide that they need to get away from Doom Manor for a while.

* Vic and Deric find Larry moping around in Orqwith, having no desire to fight because he's afraid Keeg will leave him again.
* Jane watches helplessly as Cliff sells out to the Cult of Immortus based solely on a promise that they ''might'' be able to give him enough time to see Rory grow up. For an added kick, it's not even a particularly good future, as Rory's a little hellion and Cliff's relationship with Clara is strained because of his influence, but Cliff still wants it enough that he nearly destroys his relationship with Jane.

[[folder:Youth Patrol]]
* Laura finally explains to Rita why she betrayed her and the other members of the Sisterhood all those decades ago; when she first developed powers, she didn't have a loving, supportive community to help her deal with them, and was ostracized. The Bureau of Oddities was the first place where she found a home, and when it warped into the Bureau of Normalcy, she was too afraid of being shut out of the only place she knew to resist them, even as the Bureau turned against her friends and locked them up. And then, of course, she lost her place anyway because Niles got her blacklisted. She then reveals what she now looks like under the curse - a scared little girl whose clothing suggests she is from a past far beyond even Niles Caulder. Even Rita can't stay angry with her after seeing this.

[[folder:Hope Patrol]]
* Fearing that her days may be numbered, Jane goes and tries to throw herself at Shelley, hoping that she can at least spend her final days having some good sex. Except that she freezes up while trying to kiss Shelley, who gently tells her that while she cares for her, she's obviously not in the right frame of mind for a relationship, which Jane interprets as rejection.
* Keeg finally shows Larry what he saw in the future that made him run away: Larry got turned by one of the zombie butts and Keeg was forced to kill him to stop the transformation from irradiating everyone. Keeg wasn't scared of Larry, he was scared ''for'' him, and thought that staying away and keeping him sidelined would protect him.

[[folder:Casey Patrol]]
* Dorothy is not in a great place emotionally in this episode. Her quest to bring back her dad ended when she couldn't bring herself to use his magic amulet to summon him (and likely would have failed anyway, as Kipling trapped Niles' spirit in his head, which was subsequently consumed by the zombified Doom Patrol), and it's now hitting her that her father is not coming back. And she is ''angry'', because she's realized just how little he prepared her for a life without him and she has no idea what to do with herself and it's reached the point where she's even blowing up at Danny and Maura Lee. By the end, when Torminox forces her to hand over the amulet in exchange for his sparing Danny and the Candlemaker, you can hear the anger pouring out of her.
-->'''Dorothy:''' ([[SarcasmMode totally about Casey]]) She needs her dad! ''Fuck you'' for turning your back on that.
** Danny is not doing so well, either. Becoming an ambulance gave them greater mobility, but far smaller capacity, and there are so many people in need of them now that they're running out of room.

to:

* If Dorothy's assessments of the Doom Patrol way back at the start of season 2 were condescending and insensitive, Dr. Harrison's assessments of the team at the start of this season are just plain cruel. She deems Rita a pathetic has-been who's only using leadership of the team to boost her own fragile ego, thinks Cliff is a complete moron, views Laura as a self-flagellating masochist, deems Larry as completely co-dependent upon the Negative Spirit, and sees Vic as just plain useless without his powers. And yet she stays with them, not out of any affection, but because she finds their flailing about to be ''fascinating''.
* The team is accidentally sent into the future and learns what has become of them from their future selves. All of whom happen to be dead and stuck as ghost because there's nobody left alive to dispose of them, except for Vic, who's now a paranoiac, and Laura, who's disappeared.
** Rita learns that the team died under her leadership.
** Dr. Harrison learns that she got Kay killed.
** Future!Larry is almost completely catatonic and tormented by an angry Keeg... who ends up merging with Present!Keeg, preventing him from returning to Present!Larry.
* At the end of the episode, Jane finds Dr. Harrison in the Underground and promises to start doing her part to help find Kay... only for Dr. Harrison to suddenly crumble to dust, replaced by an angry Kay, who tells her to stop looking for her and then banishes her back to the Surface, cutting her off from the Underground.



* The team unanimously votes to make Rouge the new leader. After Rita spends the whole episode demanding that Larry explain why he voted against her, he tells her that his highest priority now is keeping Keeg safe, and he doesn't trust that her leadership will accomplish that. When she tries to appeal to their friendship, Larry bluntly tells her that she broke that friendship when she betrayed the team for the Eternal Flagellation, and everything she's done since - the micromanaging, the lectures, the gold stars and demerits - just reminds him that she's not the Rita he knows anymore especially he also remembers her saying that they were ''strangers'' to her.

* When Dr. Janus attacks the Doom Patrol, Laura instinctively flees the scene, the same way she's always done. She spends the rest of the episode drinking herself into a stupor, convinced that once again, she's completely betrayed her friends.
* Vic's attempts to reconnect with his friends hit a snag when they come to the fact that he basically ghosted them for ''ten years''. While the audience knows why he disappeared - his father guilt-tripped him into becoming a superhero and dedicating all of his time to training - Derek and the others believe that he ditched them because he ''wanted'' to be a superhero, and think that he avoided reaching out to them because he thought he was too good for them, whereas the truth is he avoided them because he was self-conscious of how he looked with the implants and thought they would shun him.

When Cliff hesitates, Rouge provokes Darren into attacking him, causing Cliff to instinctively slam Darren to the ground and crush his head... which he now has very mixed feelings about, because he could ''feel'' all the bone and brain matter coursing through his newly-sensitized fingers. Rouge also feels pretty terrible about it, because once again, she's turned someone into a weapon against their will.
* Jane finds the video that Kay made during her time on the Surface, and learns that contrary to what she and the other personas feared, Kay ''wasn't'' going to dismantle the Underground, she was just going to change its purpose away from protecting her. Unfortunately, between Rouge's attack on the Doom Patrol and Dr. Harrison's machinations, Kay no longer trusts the other personas.

Here, he gets to witness Niles' actual beliefs on fatherhood, consisting of a MotiveRant about how Dorothy is a selfish, ungrateful girl who has to be locked away for her own protection and the protection of everyone around her. And this is the exact moment that Cliff realizes that Dorothy is not the beneficiary of Caulder's experiments, but another victim.

* Dorothy manages to subdue the Candlemaker without violence, but emerges from his dimension to find that her dad has died.
* A week after the Candlemaker's defeat, Jane is still comatose, and Niles' body is decomposing. Rita and Larry assume that Dorothy is refusing to bury it because she's deluding herself that he'll come back, but the reality is even sadder - she understands that her father is truly dead, and has already made plans for disposing of his body, but is waiting for Jane to wake up, because after everything else that's happened between them, she doesn't want to take away Jane's last chance to say goodbye to someone who Dorothy knows was important to her. Of course, there's only so long that one can preserve a corpse with only rudimentary cryogenics, so she ends up curled against Jane's sleeping body, begging her to wake up.
* Rita's hopes of reviving her acting career go up in flames after her grief causes her to lose control of herself during a dress rehearsal, causing everyone present to find out that she's the "Blob Lady" who terrorized their town.
