Lucifer - Trip to Stabby Town

Discovering that his Mum (Tricia Helfer) has allowed humans to unearth Azrael’s blade by digging up his brother’s grave, Lucifer (Tom Ellis) enlists the help of Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt), Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), and even an unsuspecting Ella (Aimee Garcia) to find the grave robber while working with Chloe (Lauren German) to solve a rash of stabbings at a Yoga studio all caused by the bloodlust of the celestial weapon. “Trip to Stabby Town” is memorable mostly for Chloe’s jealousy of mistaking Lucifer’s time with Ella and for the family conversation to close the episode which reveals a bit of Mum’s plan and why Lucifer has no interest in leaving Earth for Heaven or Hell. Even her putting innocents in danger isn’t enough for Amenadiel to question Mum’s motives, perhaps leaving Lucifer alone in his role to protect the world from whatever devious plan his mother may come up with next.

Supergirl - Changing

Along with introducing one of Superman’s most powerful enemies in the Parasite (William Mapother), the latest episode of Supergirl is actually more memorable for several of the show’s supporting characters taking big steps in their own lives. For Alex (Chyler Leigh) this means coming out to Kara (Melissa Benoist) about her sexuality. Kara is shocked when told that her sister from another world is gay, but the show plays the dynamic between the pair just right, especially when Kara needs to comfort Alex after her second leap of the episode isn’t as successful as her first.

The Blacklist - Dr. Adrian Shaw

The capture of Alexander Kirk (Ulrich Thomsen) doesn’t last long, nor does the small bits of knowledge Lizzie (Megan Boone) has been able to scrape together about her past when she realizes the dying madman obsessed with her isn’t her biological father. The two-part episode includes an escape from a locked-down hospital wing, Reddington (James Spader) trading himself for Lizzie’s safe return, and a confrontation between Kirk and Reddington that suggests (but doesn’t confirm) a few important details about Lizzie’s parents.

Arrow - So it Begins

The trail of bodies left across the city leads to new tensions among Oliver (Stephen Amell) and his team, first because failed to tell them of the new threat in Prometheus, and second because the reasons for these killings tie back to Oliver’s early days as the Arrow and his list of dead bodies. Prometheus himself continues to be a mostly forgettable villain, another dark archer with a slightly different mask whose motivations the show’s writers continue to keep to themselves (and, no, I’m not taking that late reveal seriously). Things aren’t any easier on the mayoral front as the chaos Prometheus’ seemingly random killings has created threatens the peace and Thea (Willa Holland) discovers Quentin‘s (Paul Blackthorne) sobriety is a work of fiction.
