Changes: Hooked Up

Latest revision as of 02:21, 25 November 2023

"Hooked Up" is the 21st episode of Batman Beyond. It originally aired on November 13, 1999. Batman discovers several teenagers addicted to a new form of virtual reality, which causes harmful side-effects and pushes many of its users to crime to pay for their habit. Things worsen when Max, who has been pressing Terry to let her take a more active role in his crime-fighting, investigates the technology and becomes hooked on it herself.

Plot

Donny fantasy — Donny rocks out in his fantasy world.

A young teenager named Donny gives a knockout performance at a rock concert. As he leaves the arena, he pushes past his adoring fans and enters a limousine with three waiting girlfriends... then the scene changes to a virtual reality parlor, where Donny's booth has just been shut off. He begs to be put back in, but the proprietor says he needs to pay.

At Hamilton Hill High School, Terry is still trying to wake up after another rough night. Max suggests that he would do better if she came with him sometimes, but he refuses point-blank.

Meanwhile, on the street, Donny is trying to panhandle from passersby, but when one passersby refuses, he becomes violent and attacks him.

On patrol that night, Terry sees Donny, who ran away from home and school the week before, trying to mugging woman, snatching her purse. Batman confronts him, and is astonished when Donny leaps off the building roof in desperation to get away from him. The chase leads down to the highway, where Terry is forced to break off the pursuit to prevent a highway crash.

Donny returns to the parlor and tells the proprietor that Batman was chased him and offers the stolen creds, begging to be hooked up again, and is given another chance by the proprietor... Spellbinder.

Spellbinder frees those who don't want to be freed.

Another one of Spellbinder's clients, Jessie, who has been hooked up going on a date with the manager, Wendell, suddenly loses consciousness and becomes comatose. Spellbinder shuts off the others' booths, and tells them to dump Jessie somewhere, and then go out to find some "new recruits".

Meanwhile, in the Batcave, Bruce shows Terry on Batcomputer and notes that Jessie is the latest in a long list of runaways who have been later found comatose and are currently hospitalized. Whatever is happening to them is likely connected to Donny.

Terry reluctantly brings Max along on an investigation, to visit Donny's parents, whom she has met before. They are disturbed to see that the parents live in a seedy apartment, and that Donny's father is abusive towards his wife and no longer wants to see his son. While there, Max finds a cash card belonging to Donny, and sees a large number of charges from a video arcade, which includes a virtual reality booth.

They visit the arcade, which is legitimate. While there, Donny and two other of Spellbinder's clients catch sight of Max and Terry, and offer to show them a "real" virtual reality experience. Terry is reluctant, but Max is eager to investigate further. After hearing that the experience is offered by Spellbinder there is a fight in which Terry is distracted by Donny, but Max is dragged away.

In the illicit virtual reality device, Max experiences an intoxicating fantasy where she returns home to a loving and supportive family.

Max sedated — Batman forced to sedate Max.

The next night, on patrol as Batman, Terry is shocked to see Max breaking into a car's glove compartment to steal from it. He confronts her, and she says she is desperate to get back to the V.R. room. Terry convinces her to return home, and he catches a glimpse of her reality: her parents are divorced, and her mother is hardly ever home because of her work schedule. Most of the time it's just Max and her sister.

As she lays down to rest, Terry calls Bruce on the phone — then Max sneaks up on him and knocks him out with a flowerpot before leaving the apartment.

After regaining consciousness, Terry tracks down Donny and follows him to the parlor's location. He finds Max there, hooked in again. He shuts down her booth, and she rages at him, telling him that it is what she wants, and he has no right to interfere. He tries to reason with her, but then Spellbinder ambushes him and knocks him out. Max is eager to get hooked back in, and doesn't seem to notice that Spellbinder is about to kill Terry.

Spellbinder overloads Terry's mind with his illusion device, then Max breaks out of the booth and subdues him. Spellbinder is arrested, and an examination of his machines allows the authorities to treat his victims.

Max apologizes, saying that she almost got both of them killed. Terry tells her not to worry, it worked out all right in the end. Moreover, she's now proven her worth to him as a partner, and they can take this all one step at a time.

Continuity

Max is pressing Terry to become more involved in his secret life as Batman, after discovering it in "Hidden Agenda".
Spellbinder's virtual reality booth would later be used to temporarily imprison Mad Stan in "Eyewitness".
Max does not know that Bruce Wayne was the original Batman at this point. By the episode "Final Cut", she has figured it out.
When Spellbinder attempts to overload Terry's mind, several frames from this and previous episodes flash in the screen:
- A shot of Terry laughing and holding a book and Warren with his arm around Terry
- A shot of Bruce, as he overhears Terry getting knocked out earlier in this episode
- A shot of Max eating a meal from earlier in this episode
- A shot of Warren smiling
- A shot of Blight screaming
- A shot of Max smiling after Kip told her Spellbinder's RV Room could simulate love from earlier in the episode

Trivia

Like the episode "The Winning Edge", the episode is a commentary on addiction.
Bruce reports that Jessie, and Spellbinder's other victims, have turned up comatose, with excess levels of serotonin (a neurotransmitter) in their brains. Serotonin is often released from the brain's neurons by the action of certain psychedelic drugs, including Ecstasy. Also, serotonin syndrome, frequently caused by an overdose on recreational drugs, has a range of symptoms which can include coma.

Quotes

Max: Rough night?
Terry: Aren't they all? (Yawns.)
Max: Maybe you need someone out there with you. You could do worse you know.
Terry: Forget it.
Max: Why should you have all the fun?
Terry: Max, it's not fun.
Max: What? Flying, intrigue power? Yeah, you're right. It's a drag.

Terry: How do I tell her no?
Bruce: You're asking me for advice on handling women?
Terry: Ah. I see your point.

Max: "V.R. Room". It's an arcade downtown. Donny was spending his creds escaping reality.
Terry: I can't imagine why.

Max: (to Bruce after knocking out Terry) Whoever you are, when he wakes up, tell him I'm sorry.

Terry: I can't believe I got her involved in this!
Bruce: Now you sound like Batman.
Terry: What?
Bruce: I've been right where you are. More times than I care to count, and like you said, there's no way you could have stopped her.

Terry: You can't live in a fantasy world!
Max: Why not? What's so great about reality?!
