After taking a fun-filled detour through the Red and the wider DC multiverse, Titans Season 4 focuses back on the continuing battle against Brother Blood and Mother Mayhem. Titled “Game Over,” the episode takes the typically timid Sebastian Sanger and marks his unabashed transformation into a supervillain as the Titans regroup to stop him. Benefiting from a tighter focus than the first couple of episodes since Titans‘ midseason return, “Game Over” lays the foundation for the season’s impending showdown and conclusion.

As Gar Logan finds himself trapped in a strange location with the Doom Patrol, he scrambles to find a way to rejoin his friends to help them against the Church of Blood. Meanwhile, Conner Kent has plans of his own on how to deal with Sebastian and Mayhem, taking the initiative to approach Sebastian with an offer he can’t refuse. However, Conner quickly learns he has underestimated his unholy opponent as Sebastian takes advantage of Conner’s newly acquired corporate resources to target the world and outmaneuvers Superboy faster than a speeding bullet.

“Game Over” is written by one of the show’s producers, Bryan Edward Hill, who had previously written the more horror-driven sophomore episode of Season 4, among others in preceding seasons. Just as before, Hill wears his cinematic influences on his sleeve while organically incorporating them into the wider story. Hill expands upon the inspirations he’s drawing from for “Game Over,” not just leaning into supernatural horror but also corporate wheeling-and-dealing along with the absurdist tones that the Doom Patrol is known for.
