Well, this was a strange episode ofTitans.
Instead, we spend all our time this week exploring the backstory ofHawk and Dove.
Let me just come out and say that the first flashback scene is extremely unpleasant.
One day, this coach spotted Hank’s younger brother, Don, cheering him on from the stands.
It should be clear by now that “weight room” is a euphemism for the worst thing imaginable.
Years later, when the boys are in college, Hank is still excelling as a football star.
When he goes to the after-party to check on Hank, Don finds him in a celebratory drinking mood.
Drinking after a concussion is never a good choice, and Hank soon collapses to the floor.
Their first outing is a resounding success.
While they’re checking that out, they bump into ballerina Dawn Granger and her mother.
Dawn and Hank now find themselves going to the same grief counseling sessions.
But on their first sleepover night, Dawn uncovers the Hawk and Dove costumes in a closet.
Despite her ballerina training and athletic form, Dawn fails to overpower the coach.
And on this show, confronting your problems really means punching them in the face over and over again.
Throughout these flashbacks, Rachel’s face has been appearing in mirrors periodically, trying to get their attention.
Eventually she manages to wake Dawn from her coma and give her a very specific message.
We still need to see what happened afterlast week’s cliffhanger!
