Not much progress is made on Sister Sage’s plan for world domination, but the groundwork has been laid, and now we get to know her a little bit more. Sage explains the reason behind the lobotomy to The Deep. Since her brain can regenerate itself, but the rest of her body can’t, her mind is constantly working in overdrive and the only way she can feel “normal” is by giving herself the lobotomy. This is the first we’ve heard about Sage’s discontent with her powers, though it’s too early to tell whether this’ll come into play later in the season. After holding back in the first three episodes, it’s nice to see Starlight fight in episode 4. Starlight has played respectability politics so far, teaming up with the new president to curtail Supes’ role in the government and taking a pacifist approach to the surrounding turmoil. It’s satisfying then to see her beat up nut-job Supe Firecracker as she peddles conspiracy theories and propaganda in front of Starlight’s headquarters.
