Legends of Tomorrow Here I Go Again Song
Welp, sorry for the tardily recap. I was stuck in a time loop.
Okay, I wasn't. (I was stuck in the Land of No Wi-fi.) Merely anyway, what a fun episode, guys! Time loop episodes can be hitting or miss depending on the character(south) stuck in the time loop and the stakes, but Legends pulled this 1 off nicely with some overdue character work for Zari and a fun twist that gave the bottle episode a lively feel.
Here in — as Nate points out over and over again — Groundhog Day set aboard the Waverider, Zari is the haughty misfit who wishes she didn't have to practice what she's told aboard the ship. She argues with Sara when the captain returns; while the squad was away fixing Waterloo, Zari was supposed to do some routine maintenance, but instead uploaded her own simulation software into Gideon, which results in Gideon crashing. Zari did information technology for selfish, though well-significant reasons: She wanted to use the simulation software to observe loopholes in history similar the one she used to salve Helen of Troy, then she tin can exploit one that may aid her save her brother and the dystopian hell of 2042.
Annoyed, Sara tells Zari to get back to fixing the ship, simply Zari simply scoffs, reminding Sara that she's non actually a part of the squad. Fifty-fifty when she returns to working on the ship, she can't help just toss in some jabs at Sara and, distracted, ends upward removing a tube that spurts glowing green liquid in her face. But every bit that happens, the ship begins rumbling, and an explosion engulfs Zari and everyone on board…
…And the time loop fun begins! If you've seen Groundhog Day, Edge of Tomorrow, or, I don't know, those special episodes of The X-Files or Supernatural or that Taye Diggs series Day Break (RIP), you know how this goes: During Zari's first trip around time, she's dislocated, so she goes on a fact-finding mission of sorts. None of the other Legends appear to know what's going on or take ever experienced deja vu similar the sort she's talking almost, so she merely thinks she'south going a little loopy. But and then — mamma mia! — the explosion happens again…
…And things get a petty worse each time. When she starts voicing that she'southward trapped, Ray takes her to the med bay and sedates her over and over again. At least she's picking up piffling clues each time: She always notices that Ray trips when he tries to stop her from fighting Sara, she picks up on Nate and Amaya'southward relationship — and the fact that they had sexual practice while on their last mission — and she figures out that Ray'southward probably hiding something, which is why he's so nervous around Sara.
Finally, she develops a tolerance to Ray's allaying, and stumbles into Nate, who believes her because he's a huge Bill Murray fan. He tells her that in the side by side fourth dimension loop, she should observe him and reference Groundhog 24-hour interval so he'll empathize and aid her from the first. She screws up at first — "Hedgehog Twenty-four hour period" doesn't exist in any fourth dimension period, Zari! — but eventually the two are able to, loop after loop, investigate the bomb, especially after Zari figures out that Nate and Amaya have been erasing their own memories to become rid of their guilt. They assume that someone on board must gear up information technology off, and outset past looking into Mick, who's suspiciously doing laundry.
Turns out he's non doing annihilation incorrect, though. When Zari and Nate investigate his booby trap-filled room, what they observe is a safe containing the manuscript for his sci-fi romance novel that…isn't that bad, really, as Zari finds out later spending loops upon loops reading the whole thing. But I'k getting alee of myself: With Mick in the articulate, Zari and Nate move on to investigate Ray and why he's being so skittish effectually Sara. Ray ends up telling them immediately most his conundrum. In the last episode, as Constantine was leaving, he told Ray that if Mallus takes over Sara over again, they'll have to kill her — and so, Ray's been doing his all-time to keep their helm happy and calm, whether that means making her tea or forcing Zari to listen to her every order. Then…Ray's not doing annihilation shady or planting any bombs.
Which means the last person they need to investigate is the helm herself. Zari and Ray compress to follow Sara into the jump ship, where she works on a crossword puzzle and has a very beautiful chat with Agent Sharpe. Sara vents at start about how hard information technology is to piece of work with Zari, merely and so explains that she'd rather not look into loopholes in history, because she'll just become obsessed with saving her sister again, which, have it from previous seasons in the Berlantiverse, would just drive her crazy. Thrown by this confession, Zari starts talking to Ray, Sara hears them, assumes they're a fly, and then smushes poor Ray with a whip of her newspaper.
Dismayed to discover that all of the Legends are doing their jobs and there's nobody planting whatsoever bombs, Zari resorts to following Nate'due south advice and but enjoying herself for the next few loops. She tries on costumes — including Hawkgirl's helmet — initiates snowball fights with Mick, and even learns to play a Stradivarius violin, but eventually, she'south bored and tired and depressed from dying over and over again, even if she's checked off everything she tin can think of on her Waverider bucket listing. Finally, she cracks and cries virtually the loop to Sara — and Sara, beingness a good captain, tells her she'll help her notice the bomb. (Side by side: Gary?!)
On Sara's orders, the squad gathers in the kitchen to figure out a plan. Over the course of the loops, Zari had already checked every inch of the Waverider — just when Mick tries to toss out a beer bottle only to have it flung back out at him, they realize they never checked the trash compactor. When they practice, they open information technology to notice…Gary, the nerdy Time Agency agent with a penchant for screwing up.
Merely he's not the one who planted the bomb; instead, he's the 1 who initiated the time loop so one of the Legends could figure out a way to save themselves. Mick, though, gets as well eager and ends upwardly smashing Gary'due south time loop device, forcing the rest of the team to scramble and find the flop in the next few minutes.
Luckily, when they're back on the span, Zari realizes the one matter she didn't wait at: the anachronism the team picked upwardly from their last mission, the cassette player that got that one song stuck in Mick'south caput. Only without a way to toss it off the transport — Gideon'southward all the same downwardly — and not enough time to defuse the bomb itself or rework it, Zari takes information technology within the force field and decides to sacrifice herself and her totem to protect the team. See, during all her time loops, she'southward gotten to know each of the Legends, and she'due south finally come up to understand, to like, and to consider them as her family. And in her concluding minutes, she gives each of them a meaningful message. (Except for Gary, because he'south not a Legend.) She advises Ray to come clean virtually what Constantine told him, Sara to ask Sharpe out, Mick to go along writing, and Amaya and Nate to but accept their feelings. And so she activates her totem, the bomb counts downwards, and…
Aught explodes. Zari opens her optics to find herself alone, except for a stranger who applauds what she but did. The stranger is Gideon — we've met her in the "flesh" before — and Gideon explains information technology all. Zari hasn't been stuck in a fourth dimension loop; her consciousness has merely been in the simulation software she uploaded to Gideon, considering Gideon was able to migrate her mind into her matrix, while Zari's body has been healing in the med bay after she got hit past the fluid that powers the transport.
Yeah, it'southward a lot — only Zari's just happy to know everyone'due south okay. Gideon reveals that through the simulator, she realized Zari could only save 2042 with the help of the residuum of the squad, and that Gideon had to detect a mode to help Zari understand how essential she is to the Legends too as how the Legends are the simply ones who can help her as well. Gideon did so past using what she knew to be truthful about the Legends; after all, as an A.I., she's been able to written report and watch how the Legends interact, which is how she was able to craft a story effectually Zari. Is it a niggling creepy? Sure, but information technology's also kind of sweet.
In the end, Zari wakes up, tries to explicate everything, and manages to convince the squad that she'south telling the truth of what she went through with Gideon past having Ray reveal to Sara his clandestine. And Sara, seeing how changed Zari is, invites her to coffee. Over the drinks, Sara tells Zari that she has been thinking of a mode to save Zari's brother, considering maybe in that location'south a manner to change Zari'south past seeing as it's in Sara's futurity. (Key give-and-take: maybe.) Zari toasts Sara and calls her captain, and then moves on to tell each of the Legends what she'd already told them in the simulation, just now in existent life. She tells Amaya and Nate to stop Eternal Sunshine-ing each other'south memories, suggests to Mick a new ending for his novel, and then tries to play the violin — and discovers she still can.
A sweet montage of the team's members working on their own follows — until the concluding scene finally takes us abroad from the ship and all the way to Cathay, in the Yunnan Province in 2018. There, Wally West (special guest star and new series regular Keiynan Lonsdale) meditates in a pagoda, only to be interrupted by Time Agency agent/founder gone rogue Rip Hunter, who says he needs Wally'due south help saving the universe. Ah, just what a man in the middle of a meditation session needs to hear.
