In this episode we get to see more about Mother Mayhem's backstory, her involvement in the Organization and her relationship with Trigon. I think that exploring our villain's past is definitely interesting and a nice touch, much needed. Her story is tragic, she ''failed'' her mission by giving birth to a boy instead of a girl and they just got rid of her, took her son and put her in an asylum, that's brutal and a good origin story. I love how shocked Sebastian was when he realized that Mother Mayhem is his real mother.
Finding the tape recordings with all the information they needed was too convienient though lol. Mother Mayhem sent a small army of ''zombies'' to fight against the Titans. We get to see more of Jinx's powers, she was able to immobilize the ''zombies''. They didn't really look like zombies to me, I don't really get it, more like braindead random people. They had the chance for Gar to transform during the fight but didn't do it, I guess the CGI budget isn't much. We get more gore in this episode with Rachel beheading a dude, im really happy about that. Deathstroke zombie? What? Things just got really weird.
How did the blade pierce Superboy's skin? Was it a magic blade maybe? So Superboy beheaded Zombie Deathstroke and he came back to life but Jinx stabbed his eye and that's it? He is ''dead'' dead? ... yeah sure. That makes no sense! My theory is that Mother Mayhem used a spell against Conner, that's probably why we had that scene with the snake in the toilet, interesting! So the first ten minutes of the episode were pretty solid, the rest it felt a bit like a mess. The whole thing with the ''zombies'' was bad but I guess they really wanted to include some action sequences so yeah. It would be better to not have any action in the episode in my opinion.
Not every episode needs action scenes to be good. This episode wasn't as good as the previous three. My rating is 6.5/10.
