Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Rita awakens unexpectedly aged, a mishandled spell teenage ifies the Doom Patrol just as Willoughby asks for their help stopping the rise of Immortus and the end of the world as they know it.
Our Take
A fun body-swap-style detour that leans hard into teen-movie energy, and mostly gets away with it thanks to the cast clearly having a blast playing younger versions of themselves. The Willoughby subplot keeps the season’s mythology ticking, but the episode spends a bit too long on gags. Light, watchable stuff, even if the stakes feel parked for a week.
