Welcome to the DC TV Report for the week ending Saturday May 27th, 2017. As submitted by Edward O'Hare, nickname To Be Determined. There were 6 new episodes this week, including 3 finales and one penultimate episode.
Gotham -
Penguin and Riddler worked together to escape the Court of Owls
prison and agreed not to kill each other for 6 hours. The Shaman
finally trained Bruce to hide his mom’s pearls in a safe and become
the perfect weapon. Selena attacked Evil Bruce, revealing the truth
to Alfred. Evil Bruce whipped them both and ran. Selina refused to
help Alfred find real Bruce. After a dangerous run-in with an
ax-handed, bomb-dropping Barnes, Jim and Harvey finally brought in
Kathryn, let Alfred beat her up, and watched her get decapitated by
Barnes, after he turned the precinct into Fury Road. Barnes was
finally taken down until he escaped. Lucius pieced together a
crystal owl and discovered it was a map of the Court’s plan. Last
Minute Reveal: In the middle of all this everyone failed to notice
Lee being consumed with sorrow for Mario’s death and hatred for Jim
(probably because all the boys kept her out of the loop). Before
they could realize it, Lee stole the Tetch virus and injected
herself with it!
Lucifer
Penultimate Episode - Charlotte gave money to a guy
claiming to have the missing piece of the Flaming Sword of Eden.
The guy took the money into a backroom and was murdered. Lucifer
maneuvered Chloe to take the case. It was pretty obvious that the
killer was Chet, the wannabe rockstar son of a Drug Queen. Lucifer
and Charlotte were able to recover what they paid for: the key to a
safe-deposit box that contained a Sumerian text. Chet tried killing
Charlotte, but a cut caused light to shoot out of Charlotte and
roast Chet’s face off. Maz tried to get Luci to help stop Dr. Linda
from getting suspended for last episode’s antics. Luci only made it
worse when he slipped that he slept with Linda. Last Minute Reveal:
After reading the text Amenadiel and Lucifer learned the third
piece of the sword was a key given to God’s favorite son. Amenadiel
jealously thought it referred to Lucifer until his necklace began
to be drawn to the sword!
Supergirl
Season 2 Finale - Kara had to knock out Superman to
snap him out of a silver Kryptonite trance. J’onn woke up from his
coma. Kara challenged Rhea to a one-on-one fight for all the
marbles. James defended Cat Grant, who immediately recognized him
as the Guardian. Clark and J’onn defended the city with help from
M’Gann who swung over from Mars. Kara was forced to activate a
weapon that Lena converted to make Earth’s atmosphere toxic to all
Daxamites. The fallout disintegrated Rhea and the Daxamites bounced
but Mon-El was also forced to leave Earth. During the celebration,
Alex proposed to Maggie. Kara felt down, got some encouragement
from Cat, and we saw her fly straight into the air at full speed as
Mon-El’s ship entered a wormhole. Last Minute Reveal: 35 years ago,
on the day Krypton died, another baby was placed in a small
spacecraft by a woman who touched the child with a drop of blood
and declared that when the baby reached Earth, it would
reign!
The Flash
Season 3 Finale - Iris was alive! HR used his
transmogrifier to take her place. Savitar kidnapped Cisco, forcing
him to modify the bazooka into a quantum splicer that would help
Savitar avoid being erased from time. Barry tried offering Savitar
an olive branch, but it didn’t work out. Instead of saving Savitar,
Cisco’s splicer freed Jay Garrick from the speed force. In the
final showdown, Barry vibrated Savitar out of his suit, leaving him
to be swallowed by the Paradox. Julian offered Caitlin a cure but
she decided instead to walk the Earth. Just when it seemed like
Iris and Barry could start planning their wedding, the Speed Force
reigned a storm that threatened to destroy Central City unless
Barry served penance for his transgressions from this season. Last
Minute Reveal: Barry said his goodbyes to the team, kissed Iris,
and joined the vision of his Mom in the breach. After he
disappeared the storm faded away!
iZombie -
Harley Johns posted his zombie attack video and received mixed
reactions. A Fillmore Graves helicopter exploded and Vivian Stoll
was killed. Liv pan-fried the brain of a daredevil who burned to
death after riding a bike through a ring of fire wearing a hay
costume. Turns out one of his producers sabotaged the suit’s flame
retardant after the prankster knocked up his girlfriend. Liv shared
the brain with Justin and they had their first kiss, but Justin got
in trouble for stealing Super Max from work. Angus came up with a
brilliant business strategy to take advantage of the Zombie
outbreak. Blaine ruined that by leaving Angus to rot at the bottom
of a well with cement shoes, and taking over his businesses. Last
Minute Reveal: Liv put on some spray tan and hair dye and tried
sneaking into a zombie haters meeting with Ravi, but she had to
leave when she saw Harley Johns taking people’s blood pressure at
the door!
Arrow Season
5 Finale – 5 years ago, Oliver fought and killed
Kovar, was rescued by fisherman, and called his mom. In the
present, Oliver enlisted help from Merlyn, Nyssa al-Ghul, and
Deathstroke to infiltrate Lian Yu. Felicity, Curtis, Thea, and
Samantha were freed. Malcolm sacrificed himself to save Thea from a
land mine. Oliver and Deathstroke rescued Diggle, Quentin, Rene,
and Dinah. Final matchups included Nyssa vs. Talia and Quentin vs.
Black Siren. Felicity and Curtis discovered that the getaway plane
had been disabled and the whole island was rigged with C-4 set to
blow once Adrian Chase died. Ollie tracked Chase to a fishing boat
and once off the coast, Chase revealed William, making Oliver
choose between saving his son or all his friends. Ollie shot Chase
in the leg and saved William. Last Minute Reveal: Just when it
looked as though Chase had finally been defeated, the bastard
pulled out a revolver and shot himself, causing the whole island to
explode. Is all of Team Arrow dead?!
