DC's 'Young Justice, Outsiders': Here's why episode 8 plays a pivotal role in defining the paths of these unsung heroes

In this episode, we find a more mature story arc, along with our team's first real mission together and even the villains have evolved a few tricks up their sleeve

With the release of episode 8, 'Young Justice: Outsiders' reached the mid-point of season 3, and delved even further into character storylines. Each new episode has introduced at least one "new" villain or hero so far, and the spotlight keeps shifting, always keeping viewers on their toes, covering as much ground as they can in each episode.

As mentioned in previous articles, the new 'Young Justice' is meant for a more mature audience, and it's reinforced by the presence of many hilarious double entendres in this episode. A classic example is mentioned below:

Shade: "It's larger than I was led to believe."

Livewire: "I thought size doesn't matter?"
