Space Case is on the CaseĬasey Brinke is played by Madeline Zima, best known for Netflix’s You and Showtime’s Californication.

There’s no formal Doom Patrol appearance in this episode, as the core team is trapped inside the reality Janus created for Rita, but the Patrol is an amorphous thing, and both Dorothy and Maura Lee are members just by virtue of them being misfits who protect other misfits from the weirdness at the fringes of reality.

In the final moments of the episode, this all ties together as we find that the artist who created Casey is working in service of Dr. Maura Lee’s was the idea that she and the other Dannyzens could stay safe within Danny’s confines forever. Dorothy’s was the fiction that she had, or would someday be able to, say the things she needed to say to Niles about her years of neglect and stasis. The same way that Casey lived in a fictional world, so did Dorothy and Maura Lee. That and the attack itself are a shock to Maura Lee’s system, and she joins Dorothy and Casey in a realization. The young man tells her that not everyone in the community dislikes them and that he was trying to fix it back to how it was before the graffiti. While Torminox is attacking Danny, Maura Lee finds someone with spray paint in front of one of their wall of art and goes to confront them. There’s another element, too, though, that helps bring all the different stories together. Dorothy’s father is dead after living much too long of a life, and Casey’s father was transformed into a villainous being named Torminox. What unites both Dorothy and Casey is that they are daughters of men they can no longer reach. Recognizing the transformed people as having come out of the comic she’s been clutching to her chest all episode, Dorothy somehow summons the main character, Casey Brinke, out of the comic and into real life. Maura Lee finds one of the walls near their community scrawled over, and soon after a swarm of red-eyed robotic insects invades Danny’s space and begins stinging the Dannyzens. Things can never be good for long, though, when you live in a world that actively resists your existence. When we meet Dorothy again, she’s telling the other Dannyzens–including defacto group leader Maura Lee Korrupt–an inspiring story about how she reclaimed a necklace that helped her reconnect with her late father, Niles Caulder. If this all sounds too good to be true, though, it’s because it is. Having escaped her eternal youth and allowed to begin aging, Dorothy left with Danny the Street, who is now Danny the Ambulance, never to be seen again–until now.

When Dorothy left Doom Patrol in the early part of Season 3, it seemed like she wouldn’t be coming back. As weird as Doom Patrol can get, why shouldn’t it find a way to cover similar territory? Spoilers follow for Doom Patrol Season 4, Episode 4, “Casey Patrol.” “Casey Patrol” Characters like Batman, Superman, Iron Man, and Spider-Man are all very much about the way our parents can affect us even decades after their death. Not the best episode, but still far better than most of what is available.The decisions our parents make can impact our futures long after we have our independence. I think I have the way out to solve at least part of this, but that qualifies as fan theory. And it all leads to the how will the writers get themselves out of this one. I still love the fact that everyone is not in lock step and they argue about what will be the next best thing to do. It makes you wonder what would happen if you were there. The key element of the series, the characters, are advanced. Arrghh! While this is far from the best episode of the Patrol, that is like saying it is an average van Gogh in a special exhibition of van Goghs. This was much easier knowing we only had to wait a week (or hit the next button for us latecomers who are binge watching the series), but due to the pandemic we have to wait. I guess I now know the feeling of the old cliffhanger serials of yesteryear, with the question of how the heroes will cope with the dastardly situation only to see the dreaded "to be continued" on screen.
