It did so by delivering a serious loss to the Titans that places the crew in probably the most determined place they’ve ever been in and evoked the long-lasting ending of Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War.
At the tip of the earlier episode, Sebastian Sanger (Joseph Morgan) turned himself over to Mother Mayhem (Franka Potente) to avoid wasting his half-sister Rachel Roth/Raven (Teagan Croft) and Kory Anders/Starfire (Anna Diop). In “Brother Blood” Mayhem forces Sebastian to relive upsetting moments from his previous, hoping to steer him to take part in a cultish ritual designed by her Organization to present him demonic powers associated to his father, Trigon. At STAR Labs in Metropolis, Conner Kent/Superboy (Joshua Orpin), who has embraced the affect of his nefarious organic father, Lex Luthor (Titus Welliver), relatively than that of Superman, orders satellites to be positioned in such a method as to cease the upcoming blood moon, which is required to finish the ritual. Meanwhile, Jinx (Lisa Ambalavanar) helps the remainder of the crew put together to teleport Sebastian away from the Organization.
An Apocalyptic Betrayal
Conner’s plan initially appears profitable, however, figuring out that there’s nonetheless a small window during which the Organization might be able to make the most of the blood moon, he recklessly assaults their hideout and is definitely subdued by Mayhem’s magic and brought captive. The crew is unable to teleport each him and Sebastian to security on the identical time so Dick Grayson/Nightwing (Brenton Thwaites) orders a extra conventional rescue mission. The crew’s battle with the Organization goes properly, with Rachel even regaining modified powers and a brand new costume, till Mayhem stabs Jinx within the abdomen, seemingly killing her.
Sebastian apologizes to Rachel however prepares to finish the ritual, enamored with the supply of energy and the Organization’s loyalty. His supernatural talents start to kick in even earlier than he completes it and when he yells a type of sonic wave emanates from his physique, vaporizing a lot of the Titans. The second is kind of just like Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) Snap, the notorious cliffhanger from Infinity War, however the Titans’ state of affairs is arguably even direr than the Avengers’ was. About half of Marvel’s heroes survived the Snap, in spite of everything, as Thanos meant to chop the universe’s inhabitants down by 50 p.c. That left loads of Avengers to undo the calamity in Avengers: Endgame. The Titans is likely to be relying on only one or two members to avoid wasting the day.
Beast Boy within the Multiverse?
Throughout Season 4, Gar Logan/Beast Boy (Ryan Potter) has been experiencing unusual visions tied to his shape-shifting animal powers. Jinx theorized that he’s creating a connection to the Red, a mystical vitality discipline that hyperlinks the world’s wildlife. Early in “Brother Blood” he’s having one such imaginative and prescient and meets a mysterious stranger who offers him some prophetic recommendation, saying, “When the tower splits in half, go to the Red.” As Sebastian’s assault begins to convey down the constructing, Gar realizes it’s time and says a prayer of kinds, and is teleported away in a flash of crimson gentle. It looks as if the Red will take him to security someplace, giving him the chance to undo what occurred to his mates and cease Sebastian and Mayhem.
This mission might lead Gar to come across different heroes. It’s been all however confirmed that in some unspecified time in the future in Season 4 Titans could have a crossover with one other DC TV collection, the lately canceled Stargirl, with Brec Bassinger prone to reprise her function because the titular heroine, also referred to as Courtney Whitmore.

Crisis on Infinite Earths established that the 2 reveals happen on totally different Earths within the DC multiverse. Stargirl is ready on Earth-2 whereas Titans is on Earth-9.
It’s attainable that Titans may merely introduce a distinct model of Stargirl from its personal Earth who simply occurs to even be performed by Bassinger, however based mostly on the mid-season finale it really looks as if the Red may have moved Gar to a different Earth, establishing an encounter with the exact same Courtney viewers are used to from her present. Details from Season 4 and a few behind-the-scenes rumors have led followers to invest that Superman and or members of the Doom Patrol may seem on Titans as properly, however there’s much less concrete proof of this, and it might seem to be a waste to herald the previous earlier than Conner is again and capable of work together with him.
Whatever different DC characters Gar may encounter he might also be reunited with one other Titan earlier than saving the remainder of the crew. When Jinx was stabbed, she muttered, “not again,” earlier than collapsing. Between this and her magical talents, it’s attainable she has expertise with demise and resurrection and is probably not gone for lengthy. Given that she was struck down earlier than Sebastian’s assault it may not have affected her physique, leaving her free to assist Gar if she does in actual fact cheat demise ultimately. A partnership between the 2 is the collection’ most certainly subsequent transfer. While it might be enjoyable to have Stargirl or another heroes present backup, bringing again the Titans ought to primarily be a job for members of the primary forged.
