Doom Patrol enters the home stretch for its final few episodes, with the superheroes confronting their own mortality head-on as the fight against Immortus continues. The fourth season’s tenth episode, titled “Tomb Patrol,” is the thematic hangover after the all-out, effusive party that was the preceding musical episode. Somber without being overly self-serious, the episode is powered by the strength of its main cast while managing to maintain a self-aware sense of humor.With the musical utopia created by Immortus exposed and dissolved by the Doom Patrol, the heroes rapidly approach dying from their renewed advanced ages, particularly Rita Farr. Madame Rouge decides to confer with Immortus directly about restoring her friends’ youth and vitality while the rest of the team prepares to say goodbye to their one-time leader. Meanwhile, the ravenous butts that Cliff Steele accidentally let survive and proliferate plot to unleash their master plan to trigger a voracious butt apocalypse and reshape the world in their rotund image.”Tomb Patrol” is really a strong episode for April Bowlby as Rita, perhaps the strongest showcase she’s had all season in playing Elasti-Woman as the character comes to terms with her impending death. Seeing Rita and Larry Trainor finally make amends provides the episode with a solid emotional centerpiece that reminds audiences of the human core amidst all the usual superhero action and wacky narrative premises. Rita would be the first to tell the viewer that she always deserves to be center stage, and the appreciation that the character gets here makes for an effective argument on why exactly that should be the case.RELATED: Doom Patrol Season 4 Confirms Why [SPOILER] Shouldn’t Be Team Leader
