Synopsis
After the time wave, Charlie’s powers are restored and she sets out for Las Vegas 1962 after sending Zari Cat and the jump ship back to the Waverider. She impersonates Marilyn Monroe and discovers a leprechaun trying his luck out on Vegas. After he uses his magic, the Custodians of the Chronology appear in Vegas and gun him down. Immediately suspicious, Charlie follows Nate, Ray and Mick back to the Waverider.
While they were out, Gideon informs the trio they have missed calls from Barry, Oliver and Kara.
“Must be the annual crossover,” Ray says.
“Hard pass,” says Nate.
They inform “Amaya” that the Legends have adopted a shoot on sight policy after Sara was killed at Woodstock by the unicorn. Unfortunately, it’s after Charlie has taken Sara’s form to convince them to stand down and stop killing magical creatures. Garima stabs Charlie and to everyone’s surprise she heals, and escapes to the jump ship with Zari.
They head to the Time Bureau hoping to find a lead on Constantine. Charlie impersonates Gary and finds out Constantine is imprisoned at the Time Bureau. She breaks into his cell and we soon find out the he is living with two realities in his head: the original one, where he condemns Des to hell, and the second one, where he saves Des by breaking up with him.
After Charlie explains what’s happening, Constantine returns Zari to human form long enough for her to tell them what we all know: John needs to return to New Orleans and set things right. But he and Charlie are not ready to listen and return her to cat form. We learn Mona listened to the whole conversation and is happy to help them escape so they can stop the Custodians. A gun fight ensues and our team members who remember the original reality make it back to the jump ship. Charlie and Constantine head-off to Woodstock to save Sara and restore the timeline.
But this is Legends… so our dynamic duo saves Sara only to doom Nate, Ray and Mick to death by fairy godmother, the same fairy godmother who turned Zari into a cat. So, Zari remains a cat, the boys perish, and the Sirens of Space-Time are born. Unfortunately for Charlie, she finds out they just might be worse than the Custodians, and still have a shoot to kill policy.
Charlie escapes once again and they travel to Salem to repeat the process. Only this time, Zari turns into a puppet instead of a cat. What the Fraggle Rock? This time Constantine boards the Waverider to investigate this strange turn of events. Apparently, the fairy godmother bonded with Rory in Constantine’s absence and he turned them all to puppets before going on a crime spree with the fairy.
Charlie tries several more times to fix the timeline with each resulting in the death of one of the Legends or our Time Bureau family. Finally, a trip to the time bureau doesn’t result in someone’s death, but Constantine can no longer bear living with multiple realities in his head and he collapses. Zari finally convinces him to ditch Charlie and return to New Orleans to set things right. Unfortunately, Charlie isn’t ready to give up her powers and has other plans.
Charlie, now impersonating Ava, informs the Legends of a “magical creature” in New Orleans 2018. Assuming it is the elusive shapeshifter, Sara plots a course and tells Mick and Ray to shoot the creature on sight. Horrified, Charlie tries to talk her down and finally has to reveal she is the shapeshifter to prevent them from killing Constantine. Meanwhile, John successfully convinces Des that he does love him and erases his memory so he has no knowledge of the break-up. Des and John from several months kiss, setting the timeline back to normal.
We see the time wave ripple out from the epicenter, saving the oldest version of John from being murdered by Ray and Mick who are transported back to the Waverider where they were previously battling Mike the Spike. Charlie is transported back to the Waverider with Zari (still human) where Constantine joins them to say mission accomplished. When they return to the Waverider, they find Puppet Stein and are concerned. We know things are back to normal when Ray gags Puppet Stein and promises he will live out his days in a magical containment unit.
The final scene before we break for FIVE MONTHS is Hank and Desmond/Neron playing golf. Hank has just learned the kaupe escaped and reassures his boss (we assume) that all will be well.
And now, we wait.
