[S3E5] Fear
Unfortunately, Jason has a bit of a break when his mentor and father figure takes away the only thing that makes sense to him. He lashes out at Bruce, comparing himself to Dick Grayson and being treated differently. Later, he calls Leslie and lashes out at her before walking into Arkham Asylum. Here, he confronts Scarecrow and asks him if he can make something to get rid of fear.
At Jason's behest, Scarecrow soon reveals his full plan: "We immerse the good citizens of Gotham in a world of fear and terror where there is no one to protect them. And when they feel all hope has been exhausted, we swoop in and be the answer to their fear. You feed a starving dog, it's always by your side." Crane then offers Jason some of the drugs from earlier in the season, which he gladly takes.
Leslie, though, has other ideas. She reveals she worked with Scarecrow when he was a graduate student. At some point, Crane tried to kill her with his fear gas, claiming she betrayed him. Batman was the one who saved her. Jason continues to probe about Leslie's experience with Crane. However, she turns the tables on Jason and tries to get him to open up about his own worst fear. Jason dodges the question, and Leslie ends their session, telling him they can talk again tomorrow.
Afterwards, at the Bat Cave, Jason goes into Batman's trophy room to get a look at Scarecrow's fear gas. However, Bruce appears in the room to check in on him. Jason tries to ask Bruce if he ever had sex with Leslie, but Batman dodges the question, though he does hint at a relationship with Catwoman in the past. Bruce then expresses how proud he is of Jason for going to see Leslie. In the conversation, he calls him son, which induces a mixed response in Jason.
Later that night, Leslie gets a call from an angry, unstable Jason. He calls her a liar and then enters Arkham Asylum, where he meets with Scarecrow. Jason starts asking Crane about his fear gas and if he can make something that gets rid of fear. In exchange for such a drug, Jason reveals he stole Crane's fear gas from Batman's vault. Crane quickly puts together what happens and realizes Jason is Robin. In exchange for the supervillain's help, Jason will give Crane in-depth information on Batman and help him escape.
After Jason's death, "Lazarus" reveals Jason's dead body was taken from the morgue to a secret Lazarus pit -- which was apparently left by Ra's al Ghul -- and revived there. Jason then ends up at Arkham Asylum, where he discovers Scarecrow has a secret lab. Crane explains he brought Jason back from the dead and gives him a dose of his anti-fear gas. The two then team up, with Jason working to enact Scarecrow's plan. As Crane explains, "Gotham doesn't understand justice. It only understands terror."
