Mr. Candle is an undercover agent of Tom's who poses as a guidance counselor at Echo Creek Academy to spy on the relationship between Star Butterfly and Marco Diaz.
Though he and Tom aborted the mission, he is shown in "Collateral Damage" to have returned as an actual guidance counselor and sincerely gives services to the dismayed student body.
Mr.Candle is also a therpatist who Ford got into contact with for Lincoln after the events of To Live and/or Die in Loch Loud who he attends on occasion. Lydia also took some sessions with him as well upon realizing she could benefit. Mr. Candle also becomes a therapist to Bender, Slade and Anti Cosmo as well as Tom and Marcy both called him in to try and help Bender upon realizing the robot needed some therapy, though Slade and Anti Cosmo took the offer up too after their encounter with The Prankster in Duck Berg
Countdown will show that the crew is still in contact with him and still taking sessions with him, Bender's story starts in therapy as he discusses what happened to him.
Bender is busy attending one of this therapy sessions with Mr.Candle that he decided to make it ongoing. He mentions about the situations that he had done since he defeated The Prankster and assisted the former in putting Captain Putty behind bars.
Bender told Boomer and Nina about Brick and Butch's burials and how he knew of this as well as mentioning what he knows and believes on the Lizbeth case. He tells the theraptist that Nina doesn't want him putting ideas in Boomer's head if they're two far fetched and he was glad to get the monkey off his back. Mr.Candle asks him why he did so and Bender said to make things right, the therapist tells Bender that perhaps the robot was trying to correct something that couldn't be corrected, and seeked closure,
He asks Bender about his work and relationships next. Bender tells Mr.Candle that he was doing his P.I Work on a organization known as M.A.L.I.C.E and undercovered info for his hirer
Candle asks about Dib and friends, as well as Luan. Bender tells Candle, that he was at the funeral of his dad, Bruce Wayne and that Dib, Bubbles, Milo and the others all were there as he was. He did notice some unusual man there too talking to Bubbles and Dib but didn't think anything of it. He suspected Vought was behind what happened and got into an arguement with the more idealistic members though Dib conceded that both of them were right and that he should get his P.I friend on the job.
And about Luan as Candle inequires, Bender's tone lowers and says that the kid got seprated from her family and Luan at least was with him so she wasn't taken away from Child Protection Services and that her parents trusted Luan with him. He's upset that even happened and that she is with Benny while he's here, Bender did manage to to visit her parents and decided to investigate and find their kids as well as swearing revenge on the cuplirt as well as who killed Batman. Bender then states that Luan's dad stopped him there by pointing that Bender wanting revenge isn't justice and that it won't bring back Batman and that this is the talk of gangsters who are blinded by their vendetta. This shook the robot, though he decided to pursue both cases for them over his own need when no one was looking.
Bender asks Mr.Candle about that last part, and is he taking steps back for not telling them this. Mr.Candle states as their session is coming to a close that in a way, he states that Bender surpsises himself by saving his friends from such incidents in the multiverses and not being an attention seeking egotist. Candle points out that he does this and no one knows he even did showcases what he will do when no one expects it, also the fact he settled on doing cases for his friends's sakes over his need to retailiate over those who wronged him is another instance of what he can really be in the dark.
Turns out Slade and Anti Cosmo were also still seeing him ongoing as Slade told Celes about this.
At The End, Mr.Candle has sessions with all 5 of them, Where Lydia confides in her revelation in regards to her attraction to Lincoln, in that she only feels this way for him and no one else, which he tells her is asexual and single targeted sexuality and helps her come to terms with it. With Lincoln, he advises him to be more upfront and keep working on it, if Lydia can get through to him on this, then he can do it for anyone. He and Bender discuss Bender's actions and what he was trying to do with his mission and that he did tell Bender feels mentally better due to his relationships with Luan, Marcy Wu and Libby and that he should take a subsatical after all that. Lastly with Anti Cosmo and Slade, he is pleased with their progess to having more fun in life and allowing his men to help with their work.
