Loser, achingly pathetic metahuman goose eggs. How about it? Ready to feel better about your own miserable lives for the next hour or so?	”

Notes

• This is the only episode of the series to not include the word "patrol" in its title.
• Larry's school bus is likely a reference to the Magic Bus from "Doom Patrol Vol 2 #51".
• Cliff restored his full consciousness in September 1995.
