The Flash is in for a bad night as we get to see several characters’ “True Colors.” Last episode ended with Barry being captured after Wolfe learned his secret. Now, he’s up for sale, along with several other familiar faces, to Amunet the Blacksmith, played delightfully insanely by the returning Katie Sackhoff.
Supergirl gets to her last episode before another long break in “Both Sides Now.” It starts with a major show of force as the Girl of Steel, the DEO, and Mon-El go to the suburbs to find Purity, the next of the world-killers.
Arrow’s “All For Nothing” starts with Quentin and Oliver trying something new to get some help in the seemingly futile struggle against Cayden James. James continues to be one step ahead and virtually omniscient. Let’s just say that while Quentin and Oliver don’t get what they want, some ARGUS agents have a much worse
After the sad events of last episode, Black Lightning moves on to “Lawanda: The Book of Burial.”
It’s become a given on most of the CW shows that a scene showing a normal domestic event is going to go strange at best, bad at worst. When “Honey, I Shrunk Team Flash,” opens with Joe trying to figure out how to build a crib, you just know something’s going to happen.
Do you have any idea what my deductible is?
The Supergirl versus Reign story continues in “For Good,” which seems like an apt title for Supergirl in general. Kara is having strange visions of Reign and her fellow world-killers (such a cheery title) and goes in to the DEO to find no one has really made any progress.
The very tense second half of Arrow’s season continues with “We Fall.” Cayden James is still running around the city with his mob of villains and thugs, the heroes are proving utterly ineffective at stopping him, or even inconveniencing him, and Team Arrow is still split in two factions. Someone needs to collectively slap some sense into all of them, but I don’t see any likely candidates on the horizon.
The second episode of Black Lightning, “Lawanda: The Book of Hope,” starts off with a major contrast going on. On the news, a commentator wonders why Black Lightning is back, and seems both happy and mistrustful about the hero’s return. On the bed, Jefferson Pierce is groaning, in major pain, in the aftermath of his return to action.
With Barry in jail and Kid-Flash “finding himself” in Blue Valley, Central City is running low on superhuman defenders.
Since the second half of this season seems to be focusing a great deal on Reign, they need to learn more about her. So it makes perfect sense that this episode would be about trying to gather some intel about her. But to do that, they need to revisit something that was important season one and has largely faded since then. Supergirl and company pay a visit to “Fort Rozz.”
