Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday May 13th, 2017. As submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. 6 new episodes, only 7 and a half minutes! Almost all of our shows are in the home stretch now. Big reveals were dropped and storylines began to converge.
Gotham: The Court of Owls covered up Uncle
Frank’s suicide and Kathryn asked Jim to prove his loyalty. Lee
became suspicious of Jim after examining Frank’s body. Babs told Ed
she learned of a secret group running Gotham and Ed kidnapped the
Mayor to try and find out. With some help from Tabitha, Jim
convinced Ed to let the Mayor go and delivered Ed to the Court.
Oswald and Ivy recruited Mr. Freeze and Firefly to join Pengy's
crusade. Evil Bruce was having nosebleeds and Kathryn admitted to
him that he’s dying. Evil Bruce then tracked down Selina and
told her the truth. Selina told him he could never be a hero like
real Bruce, was thrown through a window and surrounded by street
cats. Last Minute Reveal: Kathryn introduced Jim to the Court and
he put on an owl mask as their newest member!
Lucifer: Chloe and Lucifer investigated the
murder of a private school admissions officer. Luci took Trixie
along for recon and almost got her enrolled at the school. Chloe
was happy Trixie opened up about her fears. Maze and Chloe crashed
a parents gathering at the school and learned the murderer was a
parent who slept with the gym teacher (I mean health and wellness
mentor). Charlotte kept trying to scare and anger Lucifer into
lighting the Flaming Sword of Eden. Lucifer spent the episode
trying to learn to control his emotions and had a breakthrough when
Dr. Laura got him to channel his pain. Unfortunately he was only
able to light the sword for a brief moment. Charlotte was
devastated but Amenadiel believed Luci just needs time. Last Minute
Reveal: Charlotte stepped into the elevator, removed a bandage from
her wrist and glowing light shot out of her wound! She is
dying!
Supergirl: James was feeling guilty that the
people he saved feared the Guardian. A shift in the atmosphere
caused an alien woman’s telekinetic powers to go out of control.
The woman went into hiding but James found her son, Marcus, and
bonded with him by talking about losing his dad and dealing with
bullies. Marcus brought James and Winn to his mom and dozens of
other aliens affected by the shift. With encouragement from James,
Marcus was able to help everyone get control of their powers. The
atmospheric shift was tracked to the trans-matter portal that Lena
was building for Rhea. Kara, J’onn, and Mon-El confronted Rhea but
got their asses kicked. The portal opened and a fleet of Daxamite
ships came pouring in. Last Minute Reveal: Rhea teleported away
with Mon-El and Lena as the skies of National City were swarmed by
Daxamite ships!
The Flash: Turns out Savitar is a time
remnant of Barry, who was abandoned by team Flash and committed
himself to destroying Barry’s life. To handicap Savitar, Barry let
Cisco and Julian try to disable his short-term memory. Instead they
accidentally wiped his entire memory. Barry screwed up court
testimony, letting Heat Monger get released, but made Iris happy to
see him so care-free and unburdened. When Savitar lost his memory
too, Caitlin ran over to STAR Labs and helped fix Barry’s brain.
After Iris helped jumpstart his memory, Barry stopped Heat Monger
from burning down an office building. The team begged Caitlin to
stay, but she preferred the Killer Frost life. Meanwhile, Tracey
continued her research and she and HR fell for each other. Last
Minute Reveal: Tracey finished building the Speed Force bazooka,
but the only energy source strong enough to power it is the
Dominators’ mind-control crystal, which is being protected by King
Shark!
iZombie: Liv ate the brain of a hot mess who
was offed by her neat freak roommate. After taking the cure, Major
reveled in tasting food again, but slowly started to lose his
memories, and got on a bus to Walla Walla to visit family. A rich
guy offered Don a million bucks for a zombie cure. Don asked Ravi
but got a no. Blaine and Peyton started living the happy couple’s
life, but when Blaine learned that Major took the cure, he admitted
that his amnesia only lasted a few days and he has been lying for
months. Ravi’s cure works! Major regained his memories the moment
he saw his mom. Liv was ecstatic but Ravi’s office was ransacked
and the cure was stolen. Last Minute Reveal: Major had to admit to
Liv that he gave away the emergency dose of the cure Ravi gave
him!
Arrow: Five years ago, Anatoly and Oliver
arrived back on the island and planned Ollie’s rescue and return
home. Their plans were foiled by Kovar. In the present, a dead body
encased in cement was delivered to Oliver’s office. DNA and
security video proved the body was a councilman that Oliver’s
father murdered 15 years ago. Thea returned to Star City. She and
Oliver tried coming to terms with their father’s legacy. Chase
hired Derek Sampson to steal ingredients for a bio-weapon. The team
took down Sampson and disarmed the weapon. Oliver dropped a
bombshell about Chase’s father and convinced him to surrender
himself. Wild Dog got a hearing for custody of Zoe but, despite
Quentin’s begging, Rene got cold feet and did not show up. Last
Minute Reveal: As Oliver gave a press conference about his father’s
culpability, Adrian Chase watched from his prison cell and smiled.
What’s up his sleeve?!
