After the Party
Immediately after drinking from Dion’s chalice, the crew wants to get back to the Waverider ASAP to use the Loom. Their godlike immortality only lasts for 24 hours, and Zari(Tala Ashe) has set a countdown clock.

Ava(Jes Macallan) takes Sara’s(Caity Lotz) hand, and Sara is shaken by something. She lies, saying that the immortality has taken her powers away.
The Favor
Astra(Olivia Swann), Lachesis(Sarah Strange), and Atropos(Joanna Vanderham) hijack the Waverider, as part of Astra’s debt. Thinking the ship is deserted, they fly off.
Demands
Dogs: they should stay puppies forever.
Astra agrees to help the Fates, but has demands. She hates prunes, loves puppies, and wants her mother back.
Lachesis craftily shows Astra what will happen if Astra chooses the human life: the eventual death of her mother.
The consequences of being a human.

Atropos Uses the Loom
Atropos puts on her ring, and summons something horrible in England…
Stranded
The crew find themselves stranded at Constantine’s(Matt Ryan) manor. Ava remembers that there is a safe house in London that has a courier to get them back to the ship.

The crew, now warmly and very stylishly dressed, have to wait for a bus. As they don’t have bus fare, Mick(Dominic Purcell) throws the driver(Steve James) out and takes over.
“Bollocks!”

John lights up a cigarette and Zari stops him. He has lost hope since he believes Astra has betrayed them all. Zari reminds him that the sky hasn’t fallen yet.

Driving the bus, Mick hits someone, but it’s ok! She’s moving and ohcrapshesazombie.
Just before the hit…

Zombies begin appearing, and the crew fights them off. John is protected because zombies aren’t interested in damned souls, much to his delight. The crew fights off the zombies, but time is running out. But now things are worse. The bus is not working. Constantine knows a place nearby, and a mortal Zari decides to go with him.
The Military Arrives
Since when do zombies talk, you idiot?!

While waiting for Zari and Constantine to return, the military shows up. Sadly, they think that the crew are zombies, and shoot Ava in the head. No big, she’s immortal for now. Refusing to listen to the crew’s protestations that they are alive, they are rounded up and put in a prison truck. Mick, however, has been a prisoner in one before, and remembers the layout. Nate(Nick Zano) Steels out and the gang jumps from the moving truck.
Getting a Van
Zari: How’d you hear about this place?
Constantine: Well, back in the day, Old Man Joe called me about a demon-possessed ’75 Fiat. It was a right messy exorcism. And a right crappy car.

Zari and Constantine get to the old scrapyard, and Zari uses her powers to kill a zombie inside the scrapyard’s office. It is clever and messy and gross.

I’m fine, I’m just filing this away for future therapy.
Constantine and Zari head for the working fish and chips van, but get surrounded by zombies. Constantine uses a spell to stop Zari’s heart, therefore rendering her uninteresting to the zombies, too, to get to the van.
Also, there is a wonderful nod to George Romero here:

They find the group, and head to the safe house.
“Get in losers; we’re going Looming!”

Bad News
The safe house is unmanned and the courier is uncharged. The crew are stranded until it charges up, and the zombies are coming.
Sara admits that she still has her psychic powers, and that she saw herself dying in the pub/safe house when she took Ava’s hand earlier. She has faith that the Loom will restore everything.
Gary to the Rescue

Gary(Adam Tsekhman) was on board the Waverider, as his little bunny has IBS. When Gideon goes offline, Gary tries to fiddle with her wires, knocking him out.
When he awakens, he sees Gideon(Amy Louise Pemberton) in human form, and she gives him a mission: find the rings and steal them.

After that, get a courier and rescue the Legends.
Gary is very successful, but gets captured. Using a spell, he hides the rings from the sisters.
Not Going Down Without A Fight
The crew have a few moments of peace at the pub, thinking the courier will charge quickly. It is taking too long, and it is Zari’s turn to lose hope. She finds a secluded room. Constantine finds her, the tension boils over and they kiss.

Later, gathered around a table, the crew discuss the things they’d do with the Loom’s power.

Their immortality runs out, and the zombies bust through the door. They fight the horde like the heroes they are, but there are too many. Sara is the first to die.

Strawberries
Tied up on the ship, Astra is sent to torture him to get the rings back. She reveals what Lachesis had shown her earlier about her mother. Gary has her remember something good about her time with her mother. Astra remembers picking strawberries with her mother. Atropos tells Astra that her time as an immortal is up, and stabs her through the heart.

Getting to the Ship
During the melee at the pub, the courier finally charges. Ava gives it to Charlie(Maisie Richardson-Sellers), telling her that she must make it to the ship and make things right. As the Legends presumably all die behind her, Charlie opens a portal and runs to it, getting in just in time. She finds Gary, releasing him and having him return the rings. As he does, Atropos comes from behind and stabs him through the heart as well.
Rings in hand, Charlie tells her sisters that she is tired of running, and holds the rings out to them.
