'Titans' Season 2: Jericho may still be alive even as we reel from the shock that it was Dick Grayson who apparently killed him
'Titans' Season 2 has constantly hinted at a dark secret that Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) is hiding from his team.
Through one of the flashback episodes, we learned that Deathstroke / Slade Wilson (Esai Morales) had killed Garth / Aqualad (Drew Van Acker), causing Dick and the Titans to go down a dark path in search of vengeance.
That flashback revealed that Dick befriended Jericho (Chella Man), Deathstroke's estranged son, in an attempt to use the young man to get to his assassin father.
We didn't see how that plan worked out but Jericho's sister Rose Wilson (Chelsea Zhang) had revealed in an earlier episode that the reason she hates her father is because she believes Deathstroke killed Jericho for falling in "with the wrong crowd."
However, in the season's seventh episode 'Bruce Wayne', it's revealed that Deathstroke was not the one who killed Jericho when Dick tries to prevent his adoptive brother Jason Todd / Robin (Curran Walters) from committing suicide.
Convinced that he's the reason bad things keep happening to the Titans, Jason tried to jump off Titans Tower and end his life but Dick managed to get to him before he could take the fatal step.
He told the young Robin that he's not to blame for everything that happened, Dick is. Because as Dick reveals, Deathstroke didn't kill his son Jericho, Dick did.
It's a pretty shocking reveal and we'll probably see the exact circumstances of the murder explained in the show's next episode, which is titled 'Jericho'.
However, even though Dick is clearly struggling to deal with the guilt of his crime, there's a pretty good chance that Jericho may have survived his apparent demise.
In the comics, Jericho is a metahuman with the power to possess other people and transfer his mind to their bodies.
While the show's version of the character didn't display any abilities in his short time on screen, we do know that his sister Rose is a metahuman and that means there's a pretty good chance that he was one too.
If Jericho truly does have his powers from the comics, it's quite likely that he may have survived his "death" by transferring his mind to someone else's body, perhaps his father's or Dick's or perhaps even his sister's.
While Jericho surviving his attempted murder may go some distance towards absolving Dick of his guilt, he could still become a very powerful enemy with the powers at his disposal, one the Titans are going to be hard-pressed to defeat.
'Titans' Season 2 Episode 8 will air on DC Universe on October 25.
