'Titans' Season 2 Episode 8 'Jericho' will reveal Dick Grayson's dark past as either a hero or a murderer
After Episode 7's explosive revelation that Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) murdered Jericho (Chella Man), 'Titans' Season 2 Episode 8 'Jericho' will be yet another flashback story explaining the circumstances of Dick's crime.
The show's decision to make Dick a murderer is quite a shocking twist and fans are bound to be eagerly waiting for an explanation of some sort. After all, we can't just accept that Dick of all people would be a killer, can we?
To make matters worse, from everything we've seen so far, it looks like Jericho was a very sweet boy who genuinely trusted Dick and the Titans. We know from earlier episodes that the older Titans went down a dark path after Deathstroke (Esai Morales), Jericho's father, killed their teammate Garth/Aqualad (Drew Van Acker) but even their desire for vengeance is no excuse for the team placing an innocent young man in danger, much less for having actually killed him.
Deathstroke might be the villain of the season but if Dick really did murder his son, that puts the character in a whole new light. We would all really love it if our heroes were ultimately proven to be the good guys, but it's starting to seem like there may not be any "good guys" on 'Titans'.
From the synopsis of the episode, we know that Dick is finally going to come clean to his teammates about his past crimes, after having spent the greater part of five years trying to bury the truth. How the team will react to this confession, we'll have to wait and see.
Here's the official synopsis for the episode: "Dick finally reveals the truth to the team and, in flashback, we learn the secret behind Deathstroke's vendetta against the Titans. After the murder of Garth/Aqualad, Dick, Donna, Dawn and Hank befriend Jericho Wilson (guest star CHELLA MAN), Deathstroke's son. Realizing that Slade's devotion to his son might be Deathstroke's only weakness, Dick is eager to use the information against his nemesis. But as the Titans' friendship with Jericho grows, and he's taken into the fold, Dick is forced to make a choice between loyalty and revenge."
'Titans' Season 2 Episode 8 'Jericho' will arrive on DC Universe October 25.
