Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After Cliff Steele’s body is destroyed in a car crash, Dr. Niles Caulder takes him in, builds him a new body, and introduces Cliff to three other “patients” whose ailments give them superpowers. When Niles goes on an expedition, the group decides to take a day trip into the nearby town but things don’t go as planned.

Our Take

Very good — not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Doom Patrol works.
