Looking for answers without any clues.

The Loom of Fate needs gods(in the plural) to operate it. Sadly, Charlie(Maisie Richardson-Sellers) cannot operate it on her own. The team-and Astra(Olivia Swann)-look through the library(and Constantine’s[Matt Ryan] manor), researching to find anything that might help.
Zari(Tala Ashe) cheats by having Sara(Caity Lotz) touch her to see if the book in her hand has any info in it.
Gary(Adam Tsekhman) brings Sara some sunglasses to wear.
College Days
Constantine finds that there is a Dionysian goblet that makes anyone that drinks from it a god. Well, for a day, anyway. No mention in the text about where to find it, though. But Nate(Nick Zano) has seen it! It’s the chug cup!
Back in his college days, a rival school had the cup-whose properties matched those in Constantine’s book.
Sara appoints Ava(Jes Macallan) to head the team, as her blindness will hinder her on a campus. Luckily, they have an in-Lita(Mina Sundwall) wants to tour Hudson.
Forming Teams
Astra is used to doing things differently in hell. This entails killing, maiming, fighting, and taking by brute force.
Charlie and the others have to teach her a better way. Forming teams, they spread out on campus. Nate finds the sorority that has the cup-Sigma Psi Phi.
That Guy Never Ages
Nate recognizes the chug keeper-was the same guy-Dion(Drew Ray Tanner) – when he was in college. Charlie points out that Dion is Dionysus. Dion loves the college life, and he loves that Charlie/Clotho broke the Loom to give free will. After the Loom was broken, Dion’s parties went up exponentially.
The Rules
Trying to steal the cup, the crew realizes that it cannot be stolen, only won in the Chug Challenge, and won by Dion’s rules.
Lita’s Tour
On a tour of the campus, Lita and Mick(Dominic Purcell) are having a time of it. Rich families are on the tour, touting how rich they are to each other. Nate shows up for the tour, and Mick tells everyone that Nate is Lita’s father.
Mean(Sorority Candidate) Girls
Rushing for a sorority, Astra and Charlie get into a fight, breaking the sorority paddle. This gets everyone at their table exiled, including a goth girl there ironically, a peppy girl, and an unfluencer.
Deciding to make their own sorority, the girls go all Revenge of the Nerds, thanks to Zari’s computer prowess, and Charlie opening a portal to Constantine’s house inside an abandoned Sorority house.
Making Delta Chi Sigma Official
The Legends’ sorority needs three more girls to be an official sorority. Luckily, the three girls at the table Charlie and Astra got exiled are available:
Inez Martin(Jennifer Tong): A girl deemed to peppy for pep squad.
Lisa Lindhome(Jade Falcon): An influencer wannabe that snarted on video, getting her shunned.

Sylvia Hines(Briana Skye): performance artist and general crabby person.

Nate Overdoes It
Getting too much into the fraternity spirit, Nate ditches Lita to chug in Dion’s. Fearing Charlie wants to bring the world back to Loom made order, Dion gives Nate a drink that makes him forget why he is there.
Getting Into the Chug Challenge
The sorority makes a video, entering the Chug Challenge.
Afterwards, withdrawn Sylvia thanks Astra for understanding her and opening up to her when she got recruited.
Sadly, Dion and hypnotized “Shotgun” Nate appear to announce that they are disqualified.
The Rory Building
Mick shows Lita a building that he time-traveled to give to the college. Mick tells her he thought she was embarrassed of him, so he lied about Nate being her father. Lita was sure Mick was embarrassed of her.
Taking Matters Into Her Own Hands
Angry, Astra lashes out at Charlie, Sara, Ava, and Zari. She is angry that they never listen to her. She leaves, and plans to destroy Dion’s fraternity house and party, and take the chalice.
Charlie stops her in the nick of time. Astra reminds her that hell made her what she was. Charlie tells her that the Legends helped her to become better.
Nate appears and feels compelled to tell the two that Dion will lose his power if not worshiped.
Astra, loosening up, goes along with a new plan…

She has Charlie morph into Nate, to have Dion open up the special alcohol stash. Mick then lights it up.
Zari hacks into Dion’s sound system, changing everything to yodeling.
With no beer and music, everyone moves to Delta Chi.
Beer Pong for the Win
Dion shows up with his followers. Since he still has just a few of them, the chalice is still un-liftable to Mick and Lita.
Sara challenges him to beer pong-winner take all. Sara shakes hands with Dion, giving her all that she needs to win.
The winning pong.

Shiny Happy People
The three girls decide to keep the sorority going, much to the happiness of everyone, including Astra.
Charlie and the team decide that everyone should get a drink, not just two. Zari must demur, as it is haram, but entrusts the team to bring her brother back. The team all drinks, and get a temporary godly glow.

Astra’s Past Comes Calling
In the literal afterglow, as Astra is heading home, Lachesis(Sarah Strange) surprises her. She is calling in the favor Astra swore to owe her…
