![]() Everyone seems pretty convinced that they must have known they’d be coming, but Donna beings to wonder if Jericho had sold them out. The group turns up at Wintergreen’s address and kick in the door, but the house is completely empty. What’s more, Dawn says that if they’re going after Deathstroke, they should really cut ties with Jericho. Hank pushes back and tells him that a little bit of recon might be a better idea considering who they’re dealing with. They find an address for him through Bruce Wayne’s recognition process, and Dick is gun-ho to get going. In Titans Tower the next day, the Titans are doing some research on Wintergreen. I’d still have a door if it weren’t for those meddling kids! The group rallies and toasts to having terrible families. The group on the beach looks sad and disquieted, and Jericho explains that when he came home from the hospital, his father had gone. He starts laying out each of the assassins, but finds Jericho with his throat slit. The men demand that Slade give them information on a job he had done, but Slade doesn’t take that lying down. The flashback shows Slade entering the house and Jericho is held hostage with a knife to his throat by a masked man, as another man holding a gun approached Slade to ask how things have been. Jericho tells the group that everything changed, but then it changed even more. Slade comes to the door, kisses Jericho goodbye, and leaves. In another flashback, Jericho opens the door to find Wintergreen asking if his father is ready to leave. Dick asks where he is, but Jericho tells him he hasn’t been around for a while that everything changed when Slade retired from the military and went into business with a man named Wintergreen. The father and son hug it out, and the scene cuts back to the beach where the group had been listening to Dawn narrate the story. Slade apologizes for missing his birthday, and gives him the arm cuff that he never takes off. He asks where Jericho is, and finds him mowing the grass in the back yard but Jericho - who has a voice at this period in time - doesn’t seem too keen on talking to him. He walks up to door with his swanky new eyepatch and is greeted by his wife who accepts the flowers and gives him a kiss. Slade returns home to the suburbs and gets out of a taxi carrying flowers. Slade refuses to talk, but just as they’re about to kill him, Slade’s eyes become clear once again and he breaks free of his restraints, kills the interrogators, steals their equipment, and leaves the room. There’s a jump to a different period where Slade is held captive with a bag over his head, which is then removed revealing Slade’s blank eyes as he’s being interrogated about the whereabout of his comrades. ![]() ![]() The scene cuts to a flashback of Slade Wilson in an army medical facility run by the special forces group “The Hive”, and is injected with a red serum. That of course prompts Jericho to be comfortable talking more, and he tells the group that before he was born his dad used to be a war hero in the army. He looks sad and doesn’t respond, but Dawn tells him that she understands and he doesn’t have to talk about it. He seems sad and Dick - who is now the official king of being unsubtle and asking rude-ass questions - asks him if his dad is still in the picture. Jericho tells him that his dad gave it to him for his birthday. The group is still sitting around the fire on the beach sharing fun stories about their past, but Dick chimes in to ask Jericho where he got the cool wrist cuff he’s wearing. They both admit that they feel bad because they really love Jericho, but he’s also Deathstroke’s son…and Deathstroke has to pay. She tells Dick that she “hates having to do this,” meaning befriending and tricking Jericho, but Dick tells her that when she feels guilty she should just think about Garth. Jericho runs off with Hank to chase after the football, leaving Dick and Dawn sitting by the fire alone. They all begin talking about new records that have come out, but end up tossing the football with Hank in the end. Dawn translates for him and he tells the group that he got caught up with schoolwork and that homework never ends.

He takes off his headphones, sends a text message, and tells his mother that he’s going out to meet with friends.
