Meet the Legends…and Rasputin
The documentary crew. Theyll get the shot.

A documentary crew has been allowed on board the Waverider, as they have become famous. Nate(Nick Zano) is OK with this, but not so much when it comes to missing the crossover.
He didnt get to be in the crossover.

Sara(Caity Lotz) is not happy to see them when she gets on board, and everyone avoids mentioning Oliver Queen’s sacrifice-per Ava’s(Jes Macallan) instructions. She did, however, get Sara a card. Not a good card, but a card.
Who looks more angry about the cameras, Constantine…

…or Sara?

The crew is heading to Russia to stop a resurrected Grigori Rasputin(Michael Eklund). Unsure as to how or why he has come back as of yet.
He’s only mostly dead.

Meanwhile on Earth
Call this number.

Gary(Adam Tsekhman) split from fairy godmother Nora(Courtney Ford), after having him grant him the wish of being Constantine’s(Matt Ryan) apprentice. They are headed to an exorcism that ends up being one of John’s acquaintances in hell doing the possessing. John decides they need a drink, nevermind the fact that the body being possessed is a child.
That face you make when you are performing an exorcism and the demon is your buddy.

In Russia, You don’t Get Rasputin…
Nate and Ray(Brandon Routh) decide to interview the Mad Monk, and turn Rasputin on to media. He likes the camera, the camera likes him, and suddenly Nate agrees to be hypnotized.
Nate rotates hair products.

Ava tries to take him out with a sniper rifle, but Ray shrinks down and jams the barrel. She finally gets the shot. He coughs the bullet out, and everyone must beat a hasty retreat.
This is only the third grossest scene this ep.

Why Won’t Rasputin Die?
Constantine has found out two things:
- Kids aren’t allowed to drink at bars
- Astra has released some of the world’s most notorious and evil people back on earth
Knowing now what has happened, he and Gary race to tell Sara. Rasputin can’t be killed by regular means.
Feeling regicidal, might delete later, IDK

Sara Gets to Mourn
Sara confronts everyone about why no one has mentioned her loss. No one knows what to say, and Sara decides to try to take out Rasputin herself, alone. The crew have other thoughts. Rasputin plans on poisoning the Royal family and making himself an eternal Czar. Whilst Sara and Ava are fighting the bad guys and helping Sara grieve, most of the crew is hypnotized by Rasputin.
Ray Saves the Day
Knocked out in a fight, Ray shrinks down. Sara picks him up, chucking him at Rasputin’s open mouth. Ray wakes up, unaware that he is in Rasputin, and Sara commands him to size up!
Ray-Sputin
See what I did there?

Rasputin becomes Rasplatter in the second grossest scene of the episode(yep, second).
Rasputin is stored in jam jars to stop him reforming.
Canning evil that can’t die never came up in home-ec.

The Q&A
Q&A, Legends style
Photo credit: CW
The documentary debuts, and everyone just loves it. There are plans for a crew to follow them 24/7. Knowing how much Sara would hate that, Ava and crew decide to lie, saying the whole thing was fake. The crowd leaves in anger, leaving the crew in peace. Seems like all is good!
Constantine Checks In
Whaaaat? He snorted Santa Claus’s ashes, too.

On board, after revealing that Mick(Dominic Purcell) has stolen a priceless Fabergé Egg, Constantine butts in. He has had a long day and needs a drink. Just kidding, he needs to get to hell to find out how to stop the souls released by Astra. So, naturally, he drinks one of the jars of Rasputin. That’d be the grossest scene, y’all. That right there. The lunatic Constantine promises that he’ll be back when the sigil he made is burned out.
Nate Sees a Vision
Find her, Nate.

Working with Gideon to scrub her files, Nate sees a glitch. The glitch turns out to be Zari(Tala Ashe), the woman he has been seeing in his dreams. She is real, and the missing piece in his life. She has left him a message. Find her…
