Previously on Cloak and Dagger...

Tandy: I'm not over my dad the way I wish I was over my dad.

You're afraid if I don't do everything just right,

you're gonna lose me.

Leaving someone who hurts you isn't hard.

You just leave.

-(explosion) -(gunshot)

Ty: I have to be perfect.

Like I have to do everything right.

Like I'm trying to make up for two lives.

You have to refuse to be a victim,

and you have to take away their power.

-(electricity sizzling) -Ahh!

Brigid: What were you thinking, Tyrone?

Ty: I'm making the city a better place, O'Reilly.

Andre: Tandy, I was in your head. You have no one.

If you did half the things that she did,

you'd be sitting in a nine-by-nine.

Mom?

I mean, one second they were here, and the next--

What happened?

When I threw my knife, did it--

Kill him? No.

Whatever he was trying to do,

it was enough before we could do anything.

Sounds like it.

(trumpet continues)

You hear that, too, right?

The trumpet playing on the wind?

That's him. That's Andre.

-How do you know? -He used to sit in the center of that motel,

surrounded by others' despair.

And it was giving him strength, and he used that strength

to play his horn.

So he's using his horn to play to a bigger audience.

The city is his motel now.

Maybe even the world.

-Where's he taken them? -I don't know.

We need to find someone who can get us the answers.

Mina: I'm surprised you came to me.

To be honest, you don't seem like the type

to ask for help at all.

Mayhem: I'm surprised to be needing it.

But I'm having a bit of an identity crisis.

See, I smushed my two mouses together.

And oddly, I feel like I know less

about who I'm supposed to be.

If that makes any sense.

Well, let's try to make sense of it.

Oh, and, technically, it's "mice."

How about you?

How about me, what?

You seem like you know exactly who you are.

Your drive, your purpose.

It's so clear.

Like you've always known who you were going to be.

My whole life was about harnessing this special energy.

Maybe I should have been less driven.

Well, why's that?

Well, look what this energy did.

Last year, to the whole city.

To you.

Everyone else seems to have forgotten about it.

But you didn't.

You're still fighting it on some level. Why?

It affected me, too, when that terror touched me.

I lost control.

I lost myself.

And while I know it's not my fault,

it doesn't make things any better.

So, if I can just understand it--

You can control it.

Do you think that's true?

(scoffs) Not in the least.

The only alternative to doing nothing

is doing something, you know?

I do.

So, how's my brain looking?

You get my good side?

(chuckles) I got both sides.

The rage is still there, and it's prominent.

But it's not the only thing anymore.

There is empathy,

and there is compassion.

Is there love?

Well, we haven't learned to map it yet.

But, like any brain, it can be trained

- to make certain parts stronger. -(glass shatters, crashes)

No, this is not about her.

Ty, people are disappearing.

So I'm sorry that your girl is now your ex,

Fine.

-Fine, let's just-- -You know this door's made of thin, wooden slats, right?

I can hear everything the two of you are saying.

First, we look at the past.

Ancient Loa made rare exceptions

allowing responsible mortals into their ranks.

Then, the present.

with none of the responsibility.

That would be Andre.

Despair.

It's all I see in his future.

It's all he brings to everything he touches.

So how do we stop him?

-Evita: I can't say. -Then how do we find him?

You two need to go where most cannot.

Okay...

Where's that?

-(nail gun fires) -(Ty grunts)

Uh, is this really necessary?

-Knowing Tyrone? Yeah. -(nail gun fires)

What's that supposed to mean?

I need you to open a doorway and then walk through it.

You've never done that before, have you?

I don't know how good I'm gonna be in there without my hoodie.

I've just learned to master it.

You're humble as pie, Tyrone.

It's adorable. Most of the time.

-But today, it's dangerous. -(nail gun fires)

Okay? Today, we need an emperor,

-not the clothes. -(nail gun fires)

Tandy: Look, I'm all in for pepping up Ty,

but I mean, the only way that this door opens

is when he's deathly afraid.

Hold on. Don't worry about that.

(sighing) All those people are missing.

Including your mom.

I've never been more scared in my damn life.

(cloak whooshes)

This doorway's on a timer.

That timer is this one candle.

So as long as it stays lit and I concentrate,

you can come back.

And if it goes out?

You may be stuck in a world of despair for good.

You'll keep us safe.

Got you.
