The midseason premieres of Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow are a little less than three weeks away. So far, we’ve had a bunch of trailers and promos, and now CW has released four synopses describing what’s to come when they return. Nothing in these synopses is new if you’re up to date on the show and have been keeping up with the teasers.
In Arrow, Oliver feels that Prometheus might be right--he is a killer at heart. Felicity is dead set on revenge after Malone’s death, and newly returned Laurel has secret she needs to tell the team.
Arrow Season 5 episode 10, “Who Are You”-- OLIVER WANTS JUSTICE; FELICITY WANTS REVENGE — Worried that Prometheus is right and he is truly a killer at heart, Oliver (Stephen Amell) looks for any ray of hope and finds it in what seems to be the miraculous return of Laurel Lance (guest star Katie Cassidy).
However, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), still reeling from Detective Malone’s murder, is bent on revenge – she wants to stop Prometheus at any cost. While in prison, Diggle (David Ramsey) fights for his life.
In The Flash, Barry is doing anything he can to save Iris from being murdered by Savitar six months from now, but Kid Flash is starting to complicate things at STAR Labs.
The Flash Season 3 episode 10, “Borrowing Problems From The Future”-- BARRY FIGHTS FOR IRIS — Barry (Grant Gustin) is tormented by his vision of the future where Iris (Candice Patton) is murdered by Savitar. When a criminal named Plunder (guest star Stephen Huszar) shows up in Central City, Barry recalls the villain’s presence in his vision of the future and fears that if he catches Plunder, it will cement Iris’ fate. Confused about Barry’s hesitation to stop Plunder, Wally (Keiynan Lonsdale) decides to step in as Kid Flash. Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) offers Julian (Tom Felton) a job.
In Legends, the team tries to get to Rip Hunter and the Spear of Destiny from 1960 before the Legion of Doom finds him first. But since an aberration caused George Lucas to never finish film school, Nate and Ray lose their inspiration.
Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 episode 10, “Raiders of the Lost Art”-- LOST MEMORIES — When Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) and Malcolm Merlyn (guest star John Barrowman) try to capture Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) in 1967, they create an Aberration big enough to draw the attention of the Legends. However, when the team arrives they discover that Rip has no memories of his past due to “time drift” and is just a graduate film student.
After trying to convince Rip of who he was, they discover that he possesses an incredibly powerful artifact known as the Spear of Destiny, which the Legion of Doom is after. Ray (Brandon Routh) and Nate (Nick Zano) realize that the Aberration has also affected them personally making it difficult to help the team. Meanwhile, Rory (Dominic Purcell) asks Stein (Victor Garber) for help and makes him promise to keep it a secret from the team.
In Supergirl, Roulette returns and Mon-El and Kara find themselves on a Red Planet without their powers in order to save Izzy (played by Kevin Smith’s daughter).
Supergirl Season 2 episode 10, “Supergirl Lives”-- KEVIN SMITH DIRECTS; ROULETTE RETURNS — Kara (Melissa Benoist) is moved by the story of a missing woman named Izzy (guest star Harley Quinn Smith) and decides to investigate despite Snapper Carr’s (guest star Ian Gomez) order to leave it alone. Kara takes Mon-El (Chris Wood) with her to the last place Izzy was seen and the duo find themselves thrust through a portal to another planet, Slaver’s Moon, where the downtrodden are sold as slaves. The leader of the trafficking ring is none other than Roulette (guest star Dichen Lachman).
To make matters worse, Slaver’s Moon has a red sun, which means Kara and Mon-El are stripped of their powers and stuck on the planet with no way home. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Alex (Chyler Leigh) blames herself for Kara’s disappearance, fearing she’s become too focused on her new relationship with Maggie (guest star Floriana Lima) and too complacent in watching out for her sister.
