Outlaws, Hex & More - 'DC's Legends Of Tomorrow' Recap: "Outlaw Country" - RESPECT.

Back to the Wild West we go! This week’s episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow was full of gun-slinging outlaws and Jonah Hex. The episode kicked off with yet another time pirate creating another abomination. Serious question. Where do all these guys keep coming from?

Liberty, Colorado 1874

Any who. Said time pirate arrived in 1874 Liberty, Colorado looking for a powerful type of ore. The time pirate’s quest was quickly cut short as he was discovered by a band of outlaws. Hoping to save his skin he tells the outlaws about the ore being rare and powerful. He shows them where the ore is by using a futuristic tracking device and tries to make a deal with the outlaws. Unfortunately for him he is shot and killed. The outlaws scoop up his device and take the ore for themselves.

Timeship Inside The Vortex

Back on the timeship Martin is experiencing weird headaches as the team starts investigating speedsters and the amulet they took off Darkh. Nate is tasked with researching the amulet but comes up empty. Shortly after the timeseismograph goes off and the team, minus Martin, heads to Liberty, Colorado 1874.

Liberty, Colorado 1874

When the team arrives they stumble upon Jonah Hex who is about to be hanged. Nate decides to go all Citizen Steel to save him. As he is deflecting bullets, Sarah shoots Hex down and they all head back to the timeship.

Timeship Liberty, Colorado 1874

Back on the ship Hex learns that Rip is gone, Sarah is now the captain and she’s into chicks. Shortly after Nate reveals to the team that the world has changed. Turnbull, the man who captured Hex, owns the west and the team has to join forces with Hex to stop him.

Liberty, Colorado 1874

Mick goes into the saloon owned by Turnbull to set it on fire. Sarah sent Amaya in after him to make sure he doesn’t shoot anyone until he is outside. While this is going on Nate, Ray and Jax went undercover as tax collectors to find out how Turnbull became the leader of the west. They discover he is collecting ore in the mines. Just as quickly as they discover this information they run into some of Turnbull’s goons. They get into a fist fight with them and after their victory, steal their clothing to go undercover as outlaws. Back at the saloon Sarah tries to pry information from Hex on why he has a vendetta with Turnbull. He won’t budge on the issue. Doesn’t want to talk to no woman ‘bout his issues. Inside the saloon Mick finally met Turnbull and decided it would be a good idea to burn his money right in front of him.

Timeship Liberty, Colorado 1874

On the timeship Martin is still trying to get a handle on his headaches and has Gideon perform another neurological scan. Gideon tells Martin that physiologically there is nothing wrong with him. His mental well-being may be another story. He is seeing visions of a young girl running.

Liberty, Colorado 1874

Ray, Jax and Nate reach the outlaw camp and head into the mine to find the ore. Turns out the ore is actually dwarf star. The same stuff Ray used to power his atom suit. Ray explains to Nate and Jax that there is enough energy there to power the entire Wild West or blow it up. They discover the time pirate’s device as well and go back to get the rest of the team.

At the saloon Mick and Turnbull really hit it off. They are having a grand ole time instead of fighting like they are supposed to. This causes Jonah to go rogue and come after Turnbull to collect his bounty. The whole saloon pulls guns on Hex. Luckily Sarah comes just in time and whips Turnbull’s gun out of his hand saving Hex from his exploding bullet made from dwarf star. Jonah, Sarah, Amaya and Mick are then forced to go on the defense. Mick, of course, is eating up every minute of it as Ray, Nate and Jax arrive in time to dodge dwarf star bullets and run back to the ship with the rest of the team. Mick not wanting the party to stop, goes on the offense and shoots at Turnbull or at least tries to but he runs out of bullets. Nate is forced to go Citizen Steel to save Mick but the dwarf star bullet is able to penetrate his steel core and he gets shot.

Timeship Liberty, Colorado 1874

The team gets Nate back to the ship and get to work fixing him. Sarah blames Hex for getting shot and offers him an ultimatum. Either he talks or she kicks his ass. Hex tells Sarah he has been chasing Turnbull for 8 years. Ever since Calvert, Oklahoma. The town that Rip left behind.

Turns out Turnbull gave him is scar and gutted every man, woman and child in the town after Rip left. Then locked them in a church and set it on fire. Hex was the only one able to escape. Sarah feels for Hex as she has her own vendetta with Darhk and says she will still help Hex get Turnbull.

Jax confronts his other half, Martin, about his headaches/visions. Martin sees more visions of the woman in front of Jax and is forced to come clean. He doesn’t know who she is but feels like he knows her. Martin also isn’t sure why he is getting the visions.

The other soon-to-be duo, Amaya and Mick, try to have a heart to heart. Well she tries to have a heart to heart with Mick but he keeps pushing her away and goes back to pulverizing his punching bag.

Ray and Nate’s bromance continued on the timeship. Ray gave Nate a pep talk and said “there is no bravery without fear”. That conversation triggered something in Ray and he was able to figure out how Turnbull is going to make his own country. Ray tells the team that Turnbull will use the railroad and use the dwarf star to close summit pass. Thus closing the west off from the rest of the country. Ray, Jax and Nate head out to stop the train while the rest of the team and Hex find Turnbull.

Liberty, Colorado 1874

Nate and crew find the locomotive. Wanting to play the hero again Nate decides he is going to stop the moving locomotive filled with Dwarf Star, ya know the one thing that can penetrate his steel abilities and render him a vulnerable human, by going Citizen Steel. Nate steels up and struggles but eventually stops the train. It was then up to the rest of the crew to seal up the mine with the dwarf star.

Hex and Sarah drew the attention of the outlaws while Mick and Amaya planted dynamite inside the mine. Mick and Amaya get into a fight with a few leftover outlaws. Not wanting to stop the beat down Mick puts himself in danger of getting killed. Amaya tells him to put the animal away which makes him stop and they escape. After dealing with the first group of outlaws Sarah came up with a plan to get close to Turnbull. She disguises herself as man, only with a bandanna across her face lol, and brings Hex all tied up right to him. Hex and Sarah get Turnbull by himself and that’s when Hex unlocks himself. He beats up Turnbull but doesn’t kill him.

Timeship Liberty, Colorado 1874

The team and Hex head back to the timeship to celebrate yet another victory. Hex and Sarah share a drink. He then told Sarah that he decided to hand over Turnbull to the authorities and collect his bounty instead of gutting him.

Amaya tried again with Mick. This time using a fire metaphor. Smart move because it got his attention. She then went on to tell him not to deny the animal but not to let it control him and offered to help him control it.

Martin is still dealing with his visions. Jax offered up the idea that the memories may be resurfacing because of the interaction Martin had with his younger self. Martin tells Jax that he loves the woman in the visions. Did he somehow alter the timeline? Will Clarissa be home when he gets back or did something happen between the two of them? Is this his daughter???

Ray continued to strengthen his bromance with Nate and made him the super suit he drew earlier in the episode. As the two are gushing over it Sarah enters the room and tell them that their friends back in 2016 need their help. The crossover is coming!!!!!!
