Nate: "I promised Ava a classic Legends romp, okay? So no getting captured, no personal drama."
Oh poor Nate. The one think this week trying to keep everyone happy, only for his own emotions to burst out while stuck in a town with a rage hungry alien that leaves gold behind. That last bit being the least crazy thing here.
Winding up in Fist City, the Legends are looking for the alien but find a seemingly passive town under the control of Levi Stapleton (Nicholas Bishop), who didn't waste time trying to get the Legends while getting killed by the very alien the town was exploiting for their own gain.
However the most noteworthy thing that Levi actually did was out Sara to the rest of the Legends as not being herself any more, which Ava learned about earlier in the episode. Of course Ava struggled with this reveal, especially given Sara's thing for milkshakes with cherries on top but soon the passion was reignited between the two.
There was a lot of passion in this episode along with anger. Constantine showed more passion in his anger with Gary not telling him about the Fountain of Imperium than in his relationship with Zari while the latter herself was more interested in Behrad's love life this week.
Yes, Behrad nearly got a love interest this week with Irma Rose (AnnaLynne McCord) when he wasn't flirting with Astra and the latter also squabbled with Spooner a lot before the pair of them found some common ground.
Then there was the guest star of the week and also this episode's director - David Ramsay. It's been nice seeing him direct Arrowverse shows but here he was playing a real life figure in Bass Reeves instead of John Diggle, so we're still no closer to learning if the latter became a Green Lantern. Still there's three more appearances to solve that one.
- Mick largely sat this episode out, only appearing in two scenes. It looks like John will be gone a while too.
- AnnaLynne McCord is Dominic Purcell's real life partner as is Nicholas Bishop Jes Macallan's. This is the second time the latter has appeared this season.
- They have overdone with the singer, especially during the closing. At least Nate gets to visit Zari 1 though.
- Chronology: 1891 Fist City for the majority of the episode.
Stressed Western might be the fourth time the show has played around with this setting but this was fun. I do wish that Bass had played a bigger part in the episode but overall, it does feel like after a rocky start, this season has gotten on track.
Rating: 7 out of 10
