What actually happened between Dick and Kory
Since folks (especially on Twitter) still want to act confused and appear to be watching entirely via the timeline. This isn’t covering all of it and of course there were plenty of unrelated subplots on this show, but as far as Dick and Kory’s relationship goes, this feels like a pretty accurate rundown to me.
Season 1 Rachel Roth wants Dick Grayson to help her because she’s frightened by her powers and the sinister people who are interested in them. Dick does not think he can handle it so he tries to leave her in the care of his old friends Hank and Dawn, Dawn being an ex-girlfriend who may still have unresolved and unrequited feelings for him. Rachel ends up getting kidnapped by the small bad of the season and Kory Anders, who does not remember anything about her past, rescues her.
Dick tries to get Rachel back but is now forced to bring Kory along because Kory and Rachel have bonded and Kory will not leave her side. Rachel runs off after her powers blow up a building and Dick and Kory go after her, bicker for a while, and end up softening toward each other when Dick realizes that this lady is pretty cool and wise and caring actually.
Once they get Rachel back and decide to bring her new friend Gar along as well, they are able to stop at a motel and take a breath, where they end up having casual sex that may be a little more than casual but more on that later.
Rachel and Gar run away again to go after Rachel’s newly discovered mom who is being held prisoner, Kory and Dick go after them and end up getting captured and tortured for the effort. After getting free, Dick finds some goons experimenting on Kory and beats the shit out of them even though he’s been drugged and can barely stand. They sleep together again, but Dick is still struggling with a lot so he decides they should go their separate ways. Kory understands, they promise to try again once they figure themselves out.
He goes after Kory again once he realizes that she might hurt Rachel (which he understands is through no fault of her own) but ends up getting whammied by the big bad who traps him in a delusion, making him think he’s married to Dawn (who has been completely absent for the last five episodes). The delusion climaxes when he believes Kory has died by his father’s hand and ends up killing him to avenge her, not his “wife,” but Kory, whom he has known for a few days at this point.
Season 2 With the big bad vanquished, Dick asks Kory to come along with him on the road, but with her memories restored and her situation complicated by that, she declines (that’s right, she says no to him, not the other way around), he decides to dedicate his time to helping his young charges learn how to fight while Kory has started a crime fighting duo with Dick’s friend Donna Troy (whom just the previous season the fandom was angry about because they thought there might be a romantic thing between her and Dick).
Slade, a villain from Dick’s past resurfaces and Donna, Hank and Dawn reunite with Dick to solve the issue. But all three of them do nothing but criticize and admonish Dick for the situation. Meanwhile, Kory reconnects with an ex boyfriend from her homeworld, Faddei, flirts with him and considers going back with him to fulfill her duties. Before she can leave though, Rachel calls, opening up to her about how difficult things have been without her, even though there is a house full of adults she could theoretically talk to.
Kory decides to go help Rachel, reuniting with Dick in the process. After one conversation with Dick she realizes he plans to sacrifice himself to the big bad to free one of his charges, Jason, and protect the others. She intervenes, saving his life and buying enough time for Jason to be saved by the newly arrived Superboy, who ends up getting shot and put into a coma in the process. Dick has a breakdown and goes after the villain while Kory is able to save Superboy with her powers.
When Dick returns, he tells his team a dark secret about his past with Slade that causes everyone to turn on him except for Kory and Gar. Kory is contacted by her ex again and can not stay with Dick although she makes it clear that she does not judge him. Faddei is killed and her one way home is destroyed by her sister Kom, causing Kory to spiral and hook up with the first man she sees, luckily he’s pretty nice and does not take advantage of her. Meanwhile Dick, at his lowest point, gets himself arrested. Kory and Rachel reunite and Rachel, troubled by a dream of him dying, pleads with the adults to help him. No one agrees except for Kory, but when they go to break him out he is already gone. They reunite again later, stop the threat and start a new superhero team.
Season 3 The Team now consists of Gar, Superboy, Dick and Kory. Rachel is finding herself in Themyscira, Donna is temporarily dead, and Hank and Dawn are back to living their own lives. Dick and Kory are not together, seemingly because Kory has still not resolved the issue of whether she belongs on Earth or on her homeworld, but they seem to be working well together as friends and teammates. Kory is contacted by the guy she hooked up with during her breakdown and she starts to open up to him about some sleepwalking episodes she’s been having, as he is a licensed therapist.
Meanwhile, Dick is dealing with the recent death of Jason, whom he almost lost in the previous season. He goes home for the funeral and reunites with his father and his ex girlfriend Barbara. Jason comes back to life and starts wreaking havoc so Dick calls on his team, past and present, to help with the situation. Sadly, Hank dies at the hands of Jason, causing Dick to begin spiraling yet again. Frustrated and grieving poorly, Dick consistently butts heads with Barbara, who is now the police commissioner, until Kory firmly tells him to fix the situation. Following her advice, he learns to work with Barbara to solve the problem, and after a big win, he and Barbara get caught up in the moment and share a kiss in secret. Why it’s in secret is not clear as Dick is single at this point and can kiss whoever he wants
Meanwhile, Kom who fucked her over the previous season, has come back. Being the only family she has left, Kory takes mercy on her but does not trust her until she proves herself to the team. Dick, still spiraling and needing to solve the issue without risking the lives of anyone else, ends up dead. Rachel who has returned from Themyscira, teams up with Gar to resurrect him with the Lazarus pit. While in the pit, Dick has a vision of a little girl who looks exactly like Kory and calls him daddy. Once the vision ends, Dick has tears in his eyes and a smile on his face, but cannot dwell on it for too long as everything is still mired in chaos.
Once the threat is dealt with, Kom returns home to take on Kory’s responsibilities, solving the issue of whether or not she can remain on Earth. Dick officially breaks up with Barbara (although it can be argued that their reunion wasn’t significant enough to even require a break up) and purchases an RV to take Kory, Gar, Rachel, Superboy and their new friend Tim home, as opposed to traveling via plane. It’s strongly implied that he does this for the purpose of spending more time with Kory, whom he now realizes he has a future with.
Season 4 While on the road Dick and Kory are now able to spend more time together, as their biggest personal crises have finally been dealt with. They take on the role of co-leaders of the team, flirt and touch almost constantly. Unfortunately, a new threat wipes out Rachel’s powers, forcing Dick to find another magic user to help them. While she and Dick have a sexual history, Kory is unbothered by this, and Dick seems to barely tolerate her until she proves to be very helpful to the team and a good friend to them. She also appears to highly approve of Dick’s relationship with Kory and seems to have a thing for Superboy.
Sometime during the chaos, Kory has a similar vision of the baby she will one day have with Dick, she confronts him about why he didn’t tell her, he responds that he doesn’t know, and they put it aside to continue with the mission. Sadly, Dick’s former fling and the Titans’ current ally is killed in a pivotal battle. After the battle, Dick, Kory and Rachel must stop the problem from escalating. In the process, they end up in a town where everyone is brainwashed into allegiance to Trigon the main threat from s1. In an attempt to keep them from succumbing to the same fate, Dick suggests they record some painful memories to bring them back to themselves should they get lost.
Unfortunately, Kory falls to brainwashing and believes that she is somebody else. Devastated by this, Dick goes on a rampage, taking down the goons who were partially responsible for doing this to her, he brings brainwashed Kory along after sincerely telling her that he would never leave her.
While waiting in the car, Kory picks up Dick’s recorder and listens to it, realizing that one of Dick’s most painful memories is the fact that he could not tell Kory how he felt about her after they had sex in the first season. Hearing him say this causes her to get her memories back
Still determined to stop the threat, Kory considers a prophecy that predicts that she has the power to end it, but will die in the process. Dick refuses to entertain this and gets in the way every time she tries to sacrifice herself for the mission. Once they reach the end of their rope, Kory is able to fulfill the terms of the prophecy, leaving Dick visibly broken as he watches her explode in the sky. Fortunately, she is not dead, she floats down and they share a kiss.
The series ends with the two of them deciding to start a life together and Dick heavily implying that he would very much like to have that baby with Kory.
And yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what happened between Dick and Kory on this show. There was never any jealousy, cheating, love triangles or anything of the sort. They did good.
