A mysterious man may be the key for Tandy to finally clear her father’s name.

Unfortunately, getting the answers she needs will be difficult as the man has been in a catatonic state for almost a decade, but it might not be so impossible for two people with extraordinary powers. With Tyrone alongside to help, the two test their combined powers for the first time.

We're getting close!

I'm looking forward to learning more about Mina's dad also

And I'm really excited to see Ty and Tandy work together!

That looks like it'll be an amazing scene. At the hospital.

Mina and her father are soooo cute!

Okay but wooow he is stuck in this mind cycle

I'm already so hyped for this episode because we have Tandy and Ty working together and using their powers together instead of off doing their own things! "You owe me one." Yes she sure does, Ty! So I guess in Mina's dad's mind things work differently. Like people can see them, talk to them, and attack them

Tandy's dagger went to work!

Ivan does not know who he is and thinks Ty and Tandy are special because they have names. Ouch! My heart! He has some fantastic commentary and one liners. And I feel like those savage workers are some kind of metaphor for the way his mind is working and why he can't wake up? Like he's being blocked and guarded.

The moment when Tandy realized Ivan was the one her dad had been talking to on the phone and then she answered the phone and Nathan's voice was there

She understandably no longer had interest in an escape plan because she wanted to keep talking to her father. So Ty does a pretty darn good job doing what Ivan told him to thinking that would get them out, but it didn't. Ty figured he and Tandy both need to let go of Ivan in order to get out. Why they didn't think to try that a lot sooner I don't know! but yeah Tandy tricked Ty and stayed behind in Ivan's mind so Ty, being the swell guy he is, goes back in after her...only now she is like Ivan and has no idea who Ty is. Or herself really

I guess she's been in there for a looot of cycles.

"You have one friend." Yes, Tandy does have one friend. One VERY good and loyal friend who would jump into the mind of madness just to save her. That scene of her throwing daggers at him while Ty cloaks all over the place. Whew! Definitely the coolest scene of the ep! And he rightfully gave her the hint she needed to want to leave Ivan's mind. Which was to ask the Nathan on the phone a question he should know, but one Ivan wouldn't know the answer to. And sadly phone Nathan was, like expected, not real and she discovered that for certain

THE COOKIE WILL SET YOU FREEEE! This feels like the first TRUE Cloak & Dagger moment. They're working together to fight and save Ivan and it's beautiful! That throwing the dagger move Tandy does is so cool

They really brought him back to the real world and reunited him with Mina

Even though he doesn't remember Ty and Tandy anymore.

Okay I take back what I said before. The last scene of them on the phone together listening to the recording of Billy rapping is the stand out scene of the episode! Their bond is getting so deep!

The ending song

Loved this episode. It seemed like time worked differently in the other world, better control of their powers there... Hopefully they'll be able to bring that into the real world... throwing daggers is pretty neat.

Might be able to move things along more if they are able to better control things after the trip into his mind.

I can see why Tandy didn't want to leave though... would have been tough to ask him that question... though it makes sense... just before the explosion she would have been in the back seat... I was wondering why he wasn't confused as to why or how he was talking to Tandy on the phone with her in the back seat... and almost certainly her voice would have changed from the time she was 6 or 7 to however old she is now.

Glad Tyrone went back for her though... He couldn't seem to physically pull her off him... that would have been interesting though had someone else came in the room and seen them like that with Ivan considering while they were in there... they were basically catatonic... and their hands were glowing white/black.

Tandy was so surprised to get a phone call from Tyrone.
