weapon is ready for deployment and gives an order to launch. The general he impersonates loves executing people, so his second in command brings forth a rebellious prisoner in order to “celebrate” – she is the doppelganger of one of Oliver’s past loves. It appears Oliver is going to shoot her but he turns to the chief instead, thus revealing his fake identity. To make matters worse, the ensuing chaos damages the controls necessary to open the temporal gateway and General Shot expedites his plans to blow it up.
Harrison Wells chokes Felicity and commands her to turn the power back on. She doesn’t comply so he prepares to give her the fatal phase hand. Kara stumbles into the room and tells Felicity to give Harrison the code. He cuts power back on and re-prepares to operate.
The heroes launch a full-fledged attack on those guarding the gateway. Meanwhile, Barry and Ray speed away to stop Red Tornado – the weapon sent to destroy the temporal gateway – but only slow him for a few minutes. Jefferson and Doctor Stein split to simultaneously handle the tasks of wiring the power console and activating it. Stein makes a break to activate the control panel but is shot in the back.
Crossover episodes always add a level of excitement and action to the season. Nevertheless, the change-of-pace thriller culminates with Legends of Tomorrow, so be prepared to dive back into the Thinker’s plan next week on Atlanta CW.
