Lucifer – The Last Heartbreak

Title: Lucifer – The Last Heartbreak

While investigating a double-homicide reminiscent of one that Pierce (Tom Welling) solved decades ago in one of his former lives, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) struggles to adjust to the world’s oldest murderer cozying up to Chloe (Lauren German). “The Last Heartbreak” is memorable mostly for giving us our first real glimpse into some of Cain’s past. Despite the obvious attraction between the pair, it’s obvious well-before the final reveal that Cain has decided to pursue Chloe not out of that attraction but for purely selfish reasons related to his desire to end his immortality.

Title: Danger Man – The Lovers

Our Throwback Tuesday post takes us back into the Cold War spycraft of Danger Man. While in London, John Drake (Patrick McGoohan) is surprised by the request of the Boravian Embassy where an enemy spy (Michael Ripper) greets him and asks for Drake’s help to protect the Boravian President (Ewen Solon) and his wife (Maxine Audley), who Drake previously worked against while working as a spy in Boravia. Through a contact (Martin Miller), Drake learns a bomb has been sold to those who wish the President and his wife harm. However, the man will only sell the information for a large fee. Unfortunately, a gunman prevents Drake from learning all the particulars of the planned bombing.

Legends of Tomorrow – Amazing Grace

Title: Legends of Tomorrow – Amazing Grace
wiki: link

When Rock ‘n Roll is never born, the Legends head back to 1954 to Memphis to help a young Elvis Pressley (Luke Bilyk) get his big break, save the city from ghosts, and recover the the Death Totem. To save history, and grab the totem for themselves, the team has to walk a narrow line of leaving the magical guitar in the hands long enough for Elvis to hit it big but take it back before things go all to hell. The result is one of the show’s goofier, but not necessarily funniest, episodes. The episode also ignores the cultural issue of Nate (Nick Zano) and Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) making goo-goo eyes at each other in the South in the 1950s. Still, there is fun to be had in Zari‘s (Tala Ashe) frustration with living with a speedster as the show continues to work Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) into the mix.

Star Wars Rebels – Family Reunion / and Farewell

Title: Star Wars Rebels – Family Reunion / and Farewell
wiki: link

The two-part finale of Star Wars Rebels wraps us several ongoing storylines while foreshadowing possible new adventures for some of these characters somewhere down the line. In the final two episodes the siege of Lothal will come to an end, Ezra (Taylor Gray) will be tempted one last time by the Dark Side before firmly choosing the path that Kanan and his friends helped pave for him. Turning himself over to Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) to save the civilians of Lothal, Ezra buys time for the rest of the team to get control of the Imperial Dome and complete their mission. It’s an action-packed finale that, like several episodes of the series, features creatures connected to the Force playing an important role as Ezra calls on the Purrgil to help rid Lothal of Thrawn.

Title: Arrow – Doppelganger
wiki: link

There’s a shake-up in Star City as Black Siren (Katie Cassidy) comes forward pretending to be this world’s Laurel Lance putting Oliver (Stephen Amell) in a tough spot and preventing Dinah (Juliana Harkavy) from taking revenge on the super-villain for her recent actions. Meanwhile, Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) consolidates his power and influence in the corrupt police force apparently leaving him as the major villain over the remainder of the season. Add to that the return of Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), captured by Diaz’s cronies, and there’s plenty for Team Arrow to deal with.
