Go To

The Doom Patrol, sans Cyborg, ventures into the 'White Space' between the pages of a comic book, where Mr. Nobody gives them an opportunity to return to the lives that they left behind in exchange for forgetting the Chief. Meanwhile, Cyborg has a heart to heart with his father, and we learn a bit more about Mr. Nobody's backstory.


Tropes for this episode include:

  • Brick Joke: The red model robot from Morden's box of stuff when he meets his girlfriend shows up full-size and destroys the Patrol over and over later in the episode. note 
  • "Groundhog Day" Loop: After the team defeats Mr. Nobody in the White Space, they regroup to continue battling evil... except each time they face off against the Brotherhood of Evil's Giant Robot, they die horribly only for the day to reset itself. Eventually, The Chief realizes it's all a trap and that they're still trapped in the White Space with Nobody.
  • The Immodest Orgasm: Flex Mentallo accidentally flexes the wrong muscle, and it causes everyone — the team (except Robotman), passersby, and even Danny the Street — to have very loud orgasms.
    • Cliff tries to fake an orgasm just so he wouldn't feel left out.
  • Mood Whiplash: The first half of the episode involves the team trying to access the White Space, which inadvertently involves Flex giving the team and everyone living on Danny, including Danny, a very powerful orgasm. The second half involves the usual introspection and mental torture, including the below reveal.
  • Not a Metaphor: When Mr. Nobody tells his wife he was let go for "some gorilla," he has to confirm he doesn't mean just some muscled goon but a literal talking French gorilla.
  • Resignations Not Accepted: Mr. Nobody tells his wife that getting fired from the Brotherhood of Evil is getting off light.
    Mr. Nobody: Usually, when they let you go...they let you go.
  • The Power of Acting: When lost in the White Space Rita uses her acting experience to take control of the narration from Mr. Nobody.
  • The Reveal: At the end of the episode, The Chief's Dark Secret is finally revealed: he was responsible for the "accidents" that created each of the main character's origins.
  • Something Else Also Rises: During the above Mentallo mishap Danny bursts a fire hydrant and sprays a geyser of water into the air.
