Scorpion - Sun of a Gun

Jeff Fahey shows up as Sylvester‘s estranged father (Ari Stidham) to enlist Scorpion to track down a rumored, but never seen, Axis weapon developed during WWII. The “Sun Gun” would use a satellite to turn the sun’s rays into a weapon of concentrated white-hot light. Sly’s dad has been hunting for the weapon his entire career and now believes it has been found and is finally being put into play by an African dictator (Hakeem Kae-Kazim) with dangerous plans for the rest of the world.

Supergirl - Childish Things

In an episode that continues to develop Henshaw‘s (David Harewood) reasons for hiding his true identity from the world, Supergirl offers us the show’s version of one of Superman’s oldest enemies, the Toyman. Staying fairly close to his roots (without his bigger and goofier Silver Age giant-sized toys), the show’s Winslow Schott (Henry Czerny) escapes from prison using deadly toys and attempts to reconnect with his son Winn (Jeremy Jordan). Not only does the episode allow Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Winn to bond over homicidal relatives but it also allows the introduction of Emma Caulfield as gun-happy Cameron Chase, the agent in charge of taking down the Toyman (dead or alive).

Galavant - Giants vs. Dwarves

After a fight caused by Richard (Timothy Omundson) trading away the Jewel of Valencia for an iguana he mistakenly believes to be a dragon, Galavant (Harry Collett) and Richard find themselves on opposite sides of a feud between the world’s shortest giants and largest dwarves who are remarkably similar in stature. Yes, it’s exactly as ridiculous as it sounds, and the insanity is only further fueled by the West Side Story lead in to the big rumble. Just as the battle between the remarkably similiar groups of men breaks out Roberta (Clare Foster) steps in to restore some semblance of sanity to the proceedings, end the feud, and get the heroes back on track.

Hawaii Five-0 - Ua Ola Loko I Ke Aloha

Carol Burnett makes a return to Hawaii Five-0 as Deb McGarrett to bury her husband and to scratch a few items off her own bucket list before her time runs out as well. In the other storyline Five-0 investigates a murder tied to the discovery of an old WWII Japanese bunker filled with (now missing) explosions originally intended to be used as part of the attack on Pearl Harbor more than half a century ago. The episode is notable for moving past the teasing stage and throwing Chin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Abby (Julie Benz) together romantically, something that doesn’t go unnoticed by their teammates.

The Blacklist - The Director

The Blacklist returns from it’s mid-season hiatus with a two-part episode which will finally reveal Reddington‘s (James Spader) plan to stop the Cabal, clear Lizzie (Megan Boone), and (at least somewhat) restore the show’s status quo by targeting Peter Kotsiopulos (David Strathairn). While the first episode is spent primarily just keeping Lizzie alive and out of the hands of the Cabal, the second-half slowly reveals Red’s plan as the pieces put in place over the first half of the show’s Third Season finally come together (including a well executed con allowing the group to grab the Director from under the noses of his own security).
