Veni. Vidi. Vici Caesar and the Time Bureau! We back baby!
Synopsis
We picked up right where we left off, in LA with dinosaurs, Big Ben and all sorts of anachronisms running around. We are quickly joined by the “newly” formed Time Bureau that Rip founded five years prior. He disbands our team and we jump six months to the “present” timeline.
Sara, Ray and Nate are unhappy in the various jobs they have taken now that they are no longer traveling through time. Mick, on the other hand, is quite content on the beach in Aruba until Julius Caesar interrupts his sunbathing. After Mick calls Sara about his situation, she takes Nate and Ray to the Time Bureau to secure the Waverider from Rip.
After a not-so-warm welcome, Rip gladly parades the Legends around the Time Bureau, showing off his efficient operation. It ends with a tour of their simulator which is none other than the Waverider. Rip has used their old missions as training exercises for new recruits to the Bureau. After being chastised, they return to the operations room where Rip’s team is preparing to retrieve Julius Caesar from the beach on Aruba. However, in typical Mick Rory fashion, he loses Caesar in the middle of a toga party and tackles the wrong guy. Rip chastises the Legends, now all at the Time Bureau, and sends them on their way.
When Nate discovers Rory really did encounter Caesar, Sara decides it’s time they took back the Waverider and fixed their own mistakes. They wake-up Gideon, time-jump three minutes in time and head for Central City to find their mechanic. Jax is at Stein’s house, breaking the news that he dropped out of school and discovering that Lily is pregnant! It seems that the band being back together again is not great news for all the Legends, but Stein is in when they tell him he can meet Julius Caesar.
They return to ArubaCon to recover the real Caesar and Sara takes him down like a pro! Once he is secured on the Waverider, Rip “beams” onto the ship and demands that Sara do the right thing and return Caesar to the Time Bureau. After a little pep talk from Caesar, Sara decides to cross her own Rubicon and return Caesar to his rightful place in Gaul. Unfortunately, Caesar lifts a history book off Nate and completely rewrites history as we know it.
Meanwhile, Rip has lost his patience with the Legends and commandeers the Waverider. He takes over the mission only to realize that his agents are not as prepared for field work as the Legends are. Caesar lays a trap and captures Agent Sharpe, leaving Rip to work with the Legends again to rescue her. Although grateful for the help, she is horrified at the Legends “process” in dealing with time travel challenges and can’t understand why Rip is allowing them to continue. He reveals they will be needed to handle the coming threat of Malice.
We end with Vixen, defending her village from soldiers with some seriously upgraded magic powers. I think she is enjoying herself just a little too much...
