A lot of surprises get dished up in Supergirl’s “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” A major character of Superman lore shows up, they follow up on James’ nasty cliffhanger, and a few people are in need of a status update.
Flash’s “Failure is an Orphan” is a grim title for an episode with a lot of surprises, few of them good. The season-long clash with Cicada looks like it might be wrapping up, but things get complicated.
Black Lightning starts off the two-part season finale with “The Book of the Apocalypse: Chapter One: The Alpha.”
Team Arrow struggles to adjust to their new status quo in “Training Day.” While the team has some growing pains getting used to their new role, not to mention pressure from an old enemy, the future group is getting used to each other, and Laurel gets a new subplot. There’s a lot of interesting things going on this episode.
Supergirl’s season of political strife continues with “Stand and Deliver.” This is another season where the good guys can’t seem to quite catch up and the bad guys pull one nasty surprise after another.
