Recap / Titans S 3 E 12 Prodigal

Go To

Rachel and Gar find Dick dead and resurrect him using the Lazarus Pit. Dick subsequently invites Jason, who has decided to stop working with Scarecrow after finding out his plan to destroy Gotham, to help him stop him. Conner, feeling betrayed by Dick, chooses to leave the Titans and forms a team with Blackfire, but has to experience another disappointment when Kory arrives to tell them the truth about her. Meanwhile, Donna and Tim evacuate the Drake family from Gotham.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • Back from the Dead: Nightwing was actually killed by the civilians last episode and it takes a dip in the Lazarus Pit to resurrect him.
  • Broken Pedestal: Thanks to Dick preventing him from interfering by blowing kryptonite into him, Conner has lost his trust in the Titans and leaves the group.
  • Flipping the Bird: Barbara does one to her cell's security camera (which directly connects to the Batcave and therefore Scarecrow) after she stages a jailbreak.
  • Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: Dick flat out tells Jason that he will never accept him back into the Titans, but he can atone for his actions by joining him to stop Scarecrow.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Jason makes one, as he is disgusted by Scarecrow's plan to destroy Gotham and chooses to help the Titans.
  • I Choose to Stay: The episode reveals that not everyone dipped into the Lazarus Pit can be resurrected. Dick is bogged down by his darkness, and he nearly goes into the light until he affirms his belief that Scarecrow can still be stopped.
  • If I Can't Have You…: Crushed by Blackfire's decision to return to Tamaran, Conner blows up her spaceship so she can never go back.
  • We Help the Helpless: Tim continuously pesters Donna for a chance to defend Gotham as Robin.
