The DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday April 1st 2017,
featuring recaps for Supergirl, The Flash, DC's Legends of
Tomorrow, Arrow, Powerless, as submitted by Edward O'Hare (nickname
To Be Determined):
Supergirl: Someone put a contract out on
Supergirl and alien bounty hunters started attacking Kara. Turns
out Mon-El’s mom, Rhea, put out the bounty. After Rhea attacked
Kara with a Kryptonite sword, Mon-El agreed to rejoin the fam in
exchange for Kara’s safety. J’onn warned Kara and the gang not to
go after Mon-El because President Marsdin said so. The team said
“screw that”, used a Stargate (I mean… teleportal gate thingy) Winn
souped up to attempt a rescue mission, and Mon-El’s dad, Lar Gand,
realized Earth makes Mon-El happy and let him go. Alex and Maggie
bumped into one of Maggie’s ex-girlfriends and Alex spent the whole
episode forcing Maggie to re-open old relationship wounds. By the
by, President Marsdin is actually an alien. Last Minute
Reveal: Rhea stabbed Lar Gand in the heart and she is not done
with planet Earth!
The Flash: Abra Kadabra was running around
Central City stealing from tech companies. Gypsy came hungry to
take down Magic Boy for killing her former partner. After being
captured, Abra Kadabra offered info on how to defeat Savitar in
exchange for freedom. Caitlin took some shrapnel to the stomach,
and rather than using her Frost powers to heal, she stayed awake
and talked Julian through surgery removing the shrapnel. Barry
decided to let Gypsy take Ab Kabs away instead of getting the dish
on Savitar. Cisco and Gypsy are not so hot an item anymore. HR was
away with a new girlfriend all episode. Barry thinks he can learn
how to beat Savitar by running to the future. Last Minute
Reveal: Caitlin went into cardiac arrest and died! Julian
removed her anti-meta necklace and she woke up, but now she’s gone
full Killer Frost!
DC's Legends of Tomorrow: It’s Doomworld! The
Legion of Doom controlled the world and all the Legends were
scattered around with their minds wiped, working crummy jobs. Heat
Wave was bored of constantly winning, saved Steel from getting
killed for figuring out the truth, and used a multiplexer gun the
Atom invented to restore all the Legends memories except for Dr.
Stein. The Reverse Flash made Dr. Stein create a generator that
could destroy the Spear of Destiny. The Legends and the other LoD
members all tried to stop Reverse Flash from destroying the Spear
but ultimately failed. The Legends now want to try a do-over in
World War I. Rip was drunk, baking cakes on the Waverider until
Gideon helped him figure out a way to send a distress signal.
Last Minute Reveal: The Waverider is a small model ship on
Reverse Flash’s desk in STAR Labs!
Arrow: Five years ago, Anatoli convinced
Oliver to pull a heist for pharmaceuticals to help a hospital
before he left Russia for good. In the present, Ollie packed up HQ,
told the team to get out, and hired Anatoli and the Bratva to kill
Adrian Chase. Diggle wasn’t having any of it, kept the team
together, and slowly wore down Oliver until he decided to take up
the good fight again. Ollie led the team on a mission to stop the
Bratva from stealing drugs and Anatoli felt betrayed. Felicity
continued working with Helix, and with a huge assist from Mister
Terrific, she was able to decrypt video proof Adrian Chase is
Prometheus. Last Minute Reveal: Chase killed the Feds
protecting him, stole their car and drove right past the SCPD squad
cars coming to arrest him!
Powerless: Crimson Fox announced that she was
leaving Charm City and taking her talents to Metropolis (adjacent).
Emily signed herself and Jackie up for a self-defense class. Jackie
blew off the class because she was driving for Uber to get some
extra cash to pay for her daughter’s school trip, which Emily found
out was bogus when she tried to give money to the teacher. Jackie
was furious, but after Jack O’Lantern destroyed her car, she
admitted that she’s taking MBA classes and would still be Emily’s
friend as long as she turns the volume down on her excitement. Van
interrogated everyone trying to figure out who used his private
bathroom and left a magazine behind. Turns out no one used the
bathroom. Jackie used the magazine to swat a bee that caused Van to
squeal and hide. Last Minute Reveal: There was hours of
footage showing everyone at the office using Van’s bathroom but
Peter the janitor deleted it all because Van kept calling him
Pedro!
