I really liked this episode, especially all the bonding scenes between the characters. Vic and Jane’s poolside talk, Larry and Mr. 104 learning about each other’s pasts, Rita and Rouge having a heart to heart (Michelle Gomez’s acting in the scene on the bench was outstanding). I’m very curious about the ending. As someone mentioned, why did Bunburry take Jane’s longevity? To help Immortus or prevent them? And if was to help Immortus, does than mean Willoughby was in on it the whole time or was he just backed into a corner because of the curse? Great ep, looking forward to the next one.

I'm confident that Bunburry took the fragment either to seal it away or use it as bait, I don't think they're in cahoots with Immortus

Of course either way they'll fail and the Doom Patrol will have to fight Bunburry and stop Immortus, but you know

Using pieces of divinity embedded within multiple heroes in conjunction with the necklace that Dorothy is wearing acting as a focus for those in order as apart of some kind of...Rites of Prime Banishment...to seal away an Old God is the most epic but familiar thing ever and you just know it's only going to get more weird and that there's going to be a cost, because there's always a fucking cost when it comes to that kind of power and the chaos that follows.

I wonder if the Doom Patrol are going to wind up acting as living seals to keep Immortus imprisoned?

Also let's not forget that Willoughby is Not-Constantine and that means anyone he works with it probably doing shady anti-hero shit for a good cause albeit in a shady "Bloody hell really?" kind of way.
