The final installment of DC’s 4 night epic crossover event concluded with last night’s episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Still located in Central City The Legends team up with the rest of the crossover team to eliminate The Dominators.

Central City 2016

After escaping the mothership and their abductors the team decides they want to commit an abduction of their own. Mick, Amaya, Nate, Felicity and Cisco head back in time to 1951 to kidnap a Dominator. Back at the base aka the Star Labs hanger, Oliver wants Kara to sit out or minimize her involvement in order to regain a sense of normalcy. He can’t handle all the aliens, even if a good one is on his side.

While Oliver continues to piss off Kara, Caitlin and Martin work on a plan to figure out how to defeat The Dominators back at Star Labs. Without Ray they aren’t doing too well. Luckily Martin’s daughter Lily helps them out as she has a PhD in Nanophysiology.

Timeship Central City 2016

On the timeship Cisco and Felicity geek out and start asking Nate all these techy questions that he can’t answer. They also throw in a Grease reference. “This ship is automatic. Systematic. Hydromatic.”

Redmond, Oregon 1951

The team lands in 1951 Redmond, Oregon moments later and Felicity experiences all the side effects of time travel. Therefore Felicity and Cisco are forced to stay on the timeship but not before Nate throws in a Princess Bride reference.

In the field Nate finally brings out his star spangled supersuit. Mick is not a fan but then again he really doesn’t like anything. While Mick, Amaya and Nate wait for a weak alien in the group, Cisco and Felicity have a mini therapy session. She tries to get him to see Barry’s point of view and understand that Dante’s death wasn’t his fault. It doesn’t work.

Cisco doesn’t have to dwell on it for long as Mick, Amaya and Nate spot a stray Dominator and make a move. They torch and beat it up a bit in order to grab it. Unfortunately they were not the only one’s looking to capture a Dominator. The group encounters a special government agent squad lead by Agent Smith and they are tranquilized and taken. Cisco and Felicity jump into action to rescue them.

Inside the cell Amaya and Nate realize the tranquilizer they were shot with is affecting their powers. They also learn of their cellmate; The Dominator they tried to capture earlier. They attempt to communicate with it.

Star Labs Central City 2016

Back at Star Labs Martin’s daughter (Lily) notices her father seems off. He is acting distant and treating her like a stranger, which to him she is. However, Martin doesn’t plan on dealing with this adversity for too long. He plans on restoring the timeline and in doing so will erase Lily from existence.

On the other side of town The White Canary (Sarah), The Green Arrow (Oliver), The Flash (Barry) and The Atom (Ray) are waiting for the president but are greeted by Agent Smith. The same Agent Smith, now much older, who kidnapped Amaya, Mick, Nate and The Dominator back in 1951. Smith informs the team that The Dominators dislike metas because they perceive them as a threat. Instead of accepting the team’s help, Smith and his special agents engage in a battle with the team.

Redmond, Oregon 1951

The other half of the team learns The Dominators are here to determine if the metahumans (at that period of time the JSA) are a threat. They are then rescued by the nerds (Cisco and Felicity) and set The Dominator that they captured free. Turns out the Waverider has a Dominator ship and they use that ship to send the Dominator back to its mothership. Not before Cisco snagged a transponder from the ship though.

Amaya, Mick, Nate, Felicity and Cisco strap in and return home to Central City 2016.

Central City 2016

At the hanger Agent Smith lets Barry know he knows everything about him and how he altered the timeline. The Dominators are back because of Barry. He unknowingly broke the truce by changing the timeline and creating flashpoint. However Agent Smith lets Barry know of the deal he made with the alien invaders. If Barry surrenders himself to The Dominators they will leave in peace.

The other half of the team returns to the hanger and gets a phone call from The Dominator they saved. He tells them he will spare their lives but if Barry doesn’t turn himself in The Dominators will unleash a weapon that will destroy all metahumans.

After getting this news Dominator ships begin to land all over the world. Cisco tries to call The Dominator back but he doesn’t answer. Hoping to get in contact with The Dominator he spoke to earlier Cisco vibes into the mothership with Nate.

They find him and learn the reason why The Dominators are threatened by Metahumans. They are afraid if bad people get powers they will use them to harm others and destroy the planet. The Dominators have seen it happen before and refuse to let history repeat itself. Speaking of history. Turns out Nate, Amaya, Cisco, Mick and Felicity altered the timeline when they saved The Dominator back in 1951. Cisco is finally able to understand Barry’s side of the story and the regret he feels.

Star Labs Central City 2016

Martin reconciles with Lily and she is able to figure out how to get the Nano-device to work. Is he having a change of heart? Will he still erase her from existence and restore the timeline or choose to save his daughter?

Central City 2016

As usual Barry wants to be a martyr and prepares to turn himself over. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Except for the fact that Oliver and the rest of the team won’t let him leave. Even Cisco wants him to stay. He calls Barry his friend again.

Ships all over the world and in Central City begin opening up. The team quickly discovers that it was a guise used to distract them from the real threat pummeling toward the Earth; The Dominators metabomb.

Martin arrives in time to give Barry the Nano-device crafted by Lily. Team crossover takes on The Dominators to distract them while Barry plants Martin and Lily’s weapon on all them. Amidst the battle Oliver is thrown off a building by the invaders but is saved by Supergirl.

In the air Sarah and Cisco use the Waverider to try and grab the metabomb. They recruit Firestorm to help them. Firestorm has to transmute the device into something harmless.

Supergirl and The Flash go across the globe planting devices on the remaining Dominators. Felicity uses the device to hurt The Dominators allowing Firestorm to successfully transmute the device causing The Dominators to retreat around the world.

Team crossover celebrates their victory and Ray slips in a nod to his Man of Steel days when he says Kara looks like his cousin.

Speaking of Kara. Oliver apologies to her and results in a Barry-Kara-Oliver (an unwilling participant) group hug. Cisco interrupts the moment to Oliver’s relief and presents Kara with a gift he made. The gift is an interdimensional extrapolator that creates small breaches so she can come back to this earth anytime she wants. It also has a communication device so she can contact the team when she wants/needs to.

Mick eavesdrops and learns of the device. He uses it to segway into a pickup line and hits on skirt aka Kara, telling her to call him.

In another part of the hanger Martin makes Jax promise not to tell the team about his daughter. He has had a change of heart and doesn’t want to lose her. If Jax tells the team they will be forced to restore the timeline and erase her from existence. The question remains: what other changes will this aberration make to the timeline if left alone?

Agent Smith briefly returns to speak to the team but before he can get a word out Kara tells him he has been reassigned to Antarctica. After silencing Smith Kara uses her breach device and returns home.

Forgiveness came full circle for Barry in the close of this episode. Diggle forgives him and tells Barry that he has to forgive himself.

Looking to continue the celebration Barry and Oliver head out to have a drink. After a few jabs their conversation turns more sincere. They realize that their lives would not be full if they were normal. They finally appreciate just how lucky they are.

Next Week:

Mid-season finale of The Flash: The Flash from Earth 3 and Barry take on Savitar.

Mid-season finale of Arrow: Evelyn goes rogue and unveils herself as a traitor who is working for Prometheus.

Mid-season finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Al Capone arrives and Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold returns but not as The Legends version of Snart. He is just a criminal. Could this be the beginning of The Legion of Doom?

Caitlin continued to struggle with her Killer Frost abilities in last week’s episode of The Flash. Caitlin almost went too far in “Killer Frost”. In hopes of eliminating her newfound powers she seeks out Alchemy thinking he has the ability to take away her powers.

In the beginning of the episode, Caitlin was forced to use her powers in order to save Barry. Barry was in a battle as The Flash against Savitar The God of Speed. Savitar is essentially Barry’s God which is why he is much more powerful than Barry. Savitar takes Barry for a run and drags him through a really cool electric tunnel. The God of Speed runs so fast that he appears in places all over the city at once even though, to Barry, it feels like they aren’t even moving.

Savitar is an invisible force that is too fast to track for the team to track. Eventually, with the help of HR (who has been doing his homework and is actually helping the team track metas), they are able to locate Barry and Savitar just as The God of Speed is about to kill our beloved speedster. Cisco creates a breach for him and Caitlin to save Barry. She momentarily freezes Savitar, saving Barry, but Savitar breaks through the ice surrounding him and escapes.

Barry then divulges to the team that Savitar is from the future and that he is the only one who can see him.

Back at the lab Joe is trying to figure out how to get Wally out of his cocoon which resembles a tunnel of lava. Hoping that the hooded man they captured in Alchemy’s lair will have some answers, Joe interrogates him. Joe’s interrogation is short lived when Caitlin swings by to tell Joe that Wally has come out of the cocoon he was in (a lie) in order to get the hooded man alone. She asks the hooded man where Alchemy is and gets nowhere. However, the hooded man does tell Caitlin that Savitar is a dark lord.

This is all before she is made by police officers in the precinct. Caitlin is on a mission and no one will stop her. Therefore, she seals in the police officers and takes Julian hostage. Barry heads to the precinct and learns the task force is being sent after her. He has to find her before they do.

Caitlin takes Julian back to a warehouse and asks him to do a search for anyone who has looked up the name Savitar in the last 24 hours. He recognizes the name. Later on in “Killer Frost” we learn why Julian knows Savitar. Julian hears Savitar’s voice and he pays him a visit at the close of the episode. He asks Julian to bring him back. How does he have this ability you ask? Why he is Alchemy of course!!!!!!

At the warehouse Barry arrives in time to save Caitlin before the task force arrives. Caitlin becomes angry with Barry and tells Cisco about Dante. Distracted with the information she just unloaded, Barry is stabbed by Caitlin. She breaks free and continues her manhunt for Alchemy… if only she knew she had already captured him. Will Cisco and Barry’s friendship ever be the same?

After learning what Barry did Cisco turns his back on Barry and goes to stake out the home of one of Alchemy’s followers by himself. HR and Joe stake out the home of the other follower.

Caitlin arrives at the home of one of Alchemy’s followers and learns that in the future she will be very powerful. Savitar has great plans for her. He has shown all his followers the future and there is a battle coming. Is this the battle Barry told Rip about?

After learning that Alchemy won’t take away her powers Caitlin heads outside and battles Cisco (the same one he vibed before). Barry gets involved in the fight and she freezes him with a kiss. He vibrates to unfreeze himself.

The team is able to capture Caitlin and are forced to put her in the tunnels. While this is going on Joe cuts Wally out of his cocoon and he takes off. Wally’s mind and body aren’t working together because he was taken out too early.

Barry is forced to let Caitlin go hoping she will help Wally when they find him. However the only way she is getting out of the room is if she kills Barry. This gets through to her. She doesn’t kill him and Caitlin comes through to help Wally.

Caitlin creates a serum back at the lab and Barry injects it into Wally when they find him back at the house he grew up in. They bring him back to the lab and run some tests. Wally is able to run faster than Barry could in the beginning. Will he eventually become faster than Barry? We may find out soon enough as Wally is eager to get in the field as Kid Flash and fight alongside Barry.

Barry tries to clean up another one of his messes and goes to see Julian to talk to him about Caitlin. He doesn’t want Julian to turn her in. He begs him, saying he will do anything. Julian wants him to quit and leave the force. He doesn’t want Barry to be a CSI anymore because of his choice to save his friend instead of invoking justice. This coming from the guy who doubling as a CSI and Dr. Alchemy. Can you say hypocrite?
