After a nine-month hiatus, Doom Patrol is back to conclude its fourth and final season with six new episodes. The first of these episodes, titled “Orqwith Patrol,” is largely preoccupied with resolving the cliffhanger ending to the impromptu mid-season finale nine months ago. With that in mind, the episode functions better as a part of a whole rather than a standalone installment in Doom Patrol Season 4, finally introducing the season’s primary antagonist after months of build-up, but not much else.With each of the Doom Patrol drained of their source of immortality that slowed their aging for decades, the team is held captive in a pocket dimension by the sinister Scissormen. One step behind a nefarious cult poised to revive the omnipotent supervillain Immortus, the Doom Patrol has to reconvene and overcome their differences to ensure this scheme doesn’t come to fruition. However, when the cult begins plaguing the Doom Patrol through their vulnerable minds, managing to work together may be too difficult a task for the team to effectively accomplish.”Orqwith Patrol” doesn’t particularly feel like it’s designed to be a mid-season premiere coming off a nine-month hiatus. In fact, with the way that the episode ends, it may have been better suited as the actual mid-season premiere as it puts the team further on the defensive and sets up the overarching menace to the back half of the final season. As it is, “Orqwith Patrol” advances the plot threads from the first half of the season without much recap on what transpired in the preceding six episodes.RELATED: REPORT: Jason Momoa in Talks to Play Lobo in James Gunn’s DCU
