Post — Aaron Ngo

Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.

Hank Heywood is dead. He was killed off in this episode, and boy, it was completely unexpected. You wouldn’t expect that from an episode centered around chasing the Legends RV-style. After last week’s episode, Mona has joined the Legends, but does not tell them about being a werewolf. She tries to tell Sara numerous times, but Sara’s too heartbroken about Ava to listen. President Nixon also makes an appearance, harboring a magic bug who feeds off lies.

The bug eventually makes its way to the other Legends who are forced to tell the truth. I think this was a lot of fun, and makes the best use of the overcrowded cast. Hank and Nate are bonding, which leads to Hank wanting out of his deal with Neron. Thus, he dies.

Zari has a beautiful radio voice, and I still don’t know how I feel about Nate and Zari. They seem okay, but I think I need more buildup. It feels like it’s coming out of nowhere right now.

Nora Darhk and Gary had a side-mission too. Did I mention too many characters? Yeah, the Arrowverse needs to work on that some more… and as a result, Nora is now wanted for Hank’s murder because Nate finds her with his dad. Overall, the Neron story is picking up, but the season needs a serious recourse to avoid ending up like Arrow.
