Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
The weird thing about Titans (apart from the fact that it's a series where Robin says "F*** Batman!") is that the series often seems more interested in laying the groundwork for spinoff series than it does cementing its own lineup and status quo. Two weeks after the series introduced Hawk and Dove, we now have an episode that essentially serves as a backdoor pilot for the upcoming Doom Patrol spinoff. That scatterbrained focus doesn't necessarily do the show any favors, but this episode does at least make a strong case for the next big series to debut on the DC Universe app.

We meet Dr. Niles Caulder (Bruno Bichir), Robotman (Jake Michaels with voiceover work by Brendan Fraser), Negative Man (Dwain Murphy) and Elastiwoman (April Bowlby), members of a super-team whose only purpose seems to be consuming huge quantities of food and helping Caulder perform his mad science experiments.
