Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger season 2 premiere: Let’s get back to business

Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger starts season 2 with back-to-back episodes. As Tandy and Tyrone hone their powers, they also try to tackle other people’s issues.

Welcome to season 2 of Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger! We start with back-to-back episodes for the premiere, so let’s not waste any time.

Tandy and Tyrone are living their new lives. Tandy’s enrolled in a ballet class while Tyrone’s embracing his darker side and trying to take down lower-level criminals and their drug rings. I still love the parallels this show likes to give us. How they both have

It looks like Tandy and her mom are moving forward with their relationship. They’ve joined a support group to talk about everything.

Detective O’Reilly is back in action — or trying to be. Her shot’s still off and she’s a little more paranoid than before. And possibly hooked on pills? More on that later, I assume.

Tandy and Tyrone have a solid friendship going after that epic world-saving last season. It’s nice to see them actually getting along for a change. How long will that last? (Answer: Two-thirds of the first episode.)

Meanwhile, Brigid is struggling from her recovery. This episode of “MarvelÕs Cloak And Dagger” airs Thursday, April 4 (8:00 Ð 9:00 p.m. ET/PT) on Freeform. (Freeform/Alfonso Bresciani)

Tandy’s taking a different approach with her powers, instead targeting women in abusive relationships, much like her mom (which, her helping those girls also backfires). That and getting Tyrone out of a tight spot while he tries to steal more evidence from another drug ring.

And she’s upset with him because he didn’t ask her to be included in his vigilante duties. Of course they get back into it, lobbing insults at each other like normal. However, they make up faster than last season and before the first episode ends, they’re bonding again.

Because only the two of them really understand each other. “It’s a good look on us,” Tyrone comments just before they go plant a tape recorder in the room where the gang leader summit is about to take place and then party down like two teenagers should.

Except all of the gang members get murdered. Mysteriously.

The only clue they have is a pattern one of the dying gang members drew, so Tyrone heads to Evita’s auntie for answers. The symbol was a summoning sign for Maman Brigitte. It takes him to Mikayla, the girl from the support group with the abusive boyfriend. She’s been drugged and abducted.

Then we see Tandy’s side of it, trying to hunt down Mikayla and knowing something’s wrong. After that, we see O’Reilly’s side of things! Unfortunately her side of things is full of alcohol… and doubles of herself in a street puddle.

Enter Mayhem! A very cocky version of O’Reilly, which I actually enjoy. She finds out that the mystery dude (who drew the symbol for Maman Brigitte) has a side business involving ambulances in a storage yard.

Mikayla shows up in a hospital, having nearly OD’ed on heroin. She was taken there in a private ambulance. That’s where our stories converge — it’s a human trafficking ring with over a dozen girls missing.

Tyrone shows up at O’Reilly’s apartment to apologize when he finds the real O’Reilly tied up. That’s not a good thing.

Badass Moment of the Week

It’s more of a simple one this week, but Tandy practicing ballet while holding her light daggers was pretty cool looking. That and her taking all of her emotions and making a literal ball of rage.

So Tyrone does encounter Evita when he goes to visit her auntie. And it goes about as well as you’d expect for someone who’s been gone for eight months with zero form of communication. He does show her his powers, but that just makes her angrier. He could’ve popped in at any point to say that he was okay. She does apologize at the end of the episode—for yelling at him while he was trying to open up, not apologizing for what she said.

Tandy also obviously has some issues to work out regarding her dad. Seeing visions of him stalking menacingly towards her definitely isn’t healthy. I’m sure this will happen again and again this season.

Next week’s Cloak and Dagger brings back Mina Hess! I’m incredibly excited! She was such a wonderful addition last season, it will be great to see her back in action.
