Lucifer - Take Me Back to Hell

Can the Devil be redeemed? “Take Me Back to Hell” begins with Lucifer (Tom Ellis) framed for murder and finally willing to allow Amenadiel (DB Woodside) to return him to Hell. However, given the mess the pair have made with both Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) and Malcolm (Kevin Rankin), Lucifer’s brother convinces him to stay around long enough to put things right. Although that choice nearly gets both of them killed, it also sets up the show’s upcoming Second Season.

Once Upon a Time - Sisters

The relationship between estranged siblings is the theme that runs through both storylines in Once Upon a Time. The main story returns Cora (Barbara Hershey) as Regina (Lana Parrilla) enlists her mother’s help to try and prevent Zelena (Rebecca Mader) from accepting Hades‘ (Greg Germann) offer. During the flashbacks of the episode we learn that the two sisters met once, well before their first run-in in Storybrooke. It’s this revelation, and not Cora’s sinister plan to wipe her daughter’s memory, that eventually allows the sisters to call a truce. Despite her misgivings, Regina is now willing to trust her sister, but it appears Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) and Peter Pan (Robbie Kay) have other plans.

Legends of Tomorrow - Last Refuge

When various members of the team are targeted by the Time Lords‘ assassin the Pilgrim (Faye Kingslee), Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) leads his motley crew through time to protect their younger versions before the assassin can wipe them out of existence. When her plan is foiled (thanks to a convenient plot device that allows the assassin only to target each member a single time in their timelines), the Pilgrim decides to use the team’s loved ones as hostages to force a confrontation. Of course it helps that the crew know exactly where in time and space the assassin plans to attack (based on some hazily-defined probability equations made by the ship’s computer in another convenient plot device).
