DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW 6.7

RECAP - DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW  6.7:  "Back to the Finale Part II"

Who says you can't have a happy ending sometimes?  As our Goofball Time Travellers, it seemed like it wasn't going to happen...and they almost screwed the pooch again...but thankfully, their amazing Captain manages to find a way to ensure things get set right.  This week brought to an end a storyline that seemed to meander a little bit, and didn't seem to go anywhere until the last couple of episodes, and THIS one has been the best of Season 6 so far.  Sara faces off with Bishop as he mounts his plan to clone the human race, while the team seems to be mourning the loss of her, as Spooner had repeated what the Amelia alien had said to her about the death of Sara.  But our team somehow rises up to see if they can find a way to prevent her death from happening....and it all starts with Behrad.  Time is what they do best...and that's what our hemp hero decided to use this week. 

To start off....Sara is in shock when she sees her lifeless body.  Bishop informs her that there was no cure from the attack by the Amelia alien, and thus knocked her out, so that he could put her into a cloned body---one merged with an alien.  He feels that this is the way to help ensure the survival of the human race---by merging them with aliens.  This doesn't sit well with Sara, and she wants her body back, or a new cloned body.  Bishop refuses, and has her taken away, because HE has a new cloned body.  He plans on cloning more until he's gotten the entire universe molded to his whims.  He feels that with many clones of Sara, he can have his army for conquest. And he doesn't like that she's resisting, so, he's going to have her destroyed, and he'll keep tinkering until he gets her the way he wants her.  Meanwhile, Mick and Kayla come out of the pod after their little tryst, and she goes to charge the fuel cell, and gives Mick until the 3rd sun of the planet sets to find Sara and bring her back, otherwise she's taking off without them.  And he eventually bumps into Gary, and he finds out where Sara is. 

While all this is going down in a galaxy far away, the team....especially Ava...is in deep mourning for the loss of Sara.  While Nate tries to console her, she's just too depressed to be of much use.  Nate says that they'll stick together no matter what, because it's what Sara would want.  But amongst the crew, someone was missing:  Behrad.  While they think he went to his room to light up and smoke a few....it turns out, he bailed on the team, after working out on a white board about how to get Sara back, and the words "BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II" is circled.  The team is then privvy to the fact that Behrad has taken it upon himself to warn or stop Sara from being abducted from the concert in London that night in 1977, so they know they have to stop him before he screws up the timeline even further.  They all arrive, and they all know they can't interact with Sara, because they were with her that whole night----except Behrad, who had left to light a doobie around midnight or so, and wasn't by Sara's side at tht time, so he feels he has the perfect window to warn her about what's to happen.  While several members of the team try to see if they can find a way to interact with Sara and distract her just enough to avoid being abducted, they fail.  Ava comes across them, but it's Ava that timeline, and she knows they're messing with time, and she orders them to stop it.  As they feel they're ready to give up, Behrad has an idea.  He'll load a mannequin with explosives, while dressing it like Sara, in hopes that he can get that abducted instead of Sara.  Zari does her best to dress it up for him, and then they try to go put the plan to work.  Of all the people who DOES interact with Sara, that wasn't there that night...it's Spooner.  She talks about having something inside of her that could hurt her new friends, but Sara assures her that they would help her.  Sara mentions proposing to Ava, but says she's got the same anxieties...and Spooner uses Sara's own words to reassure her all will be well. 

Back on the alien planet, Mick finally finds Sara, who plans on cloning a new body of herself that doesn't have an alien with it in order to plant herself back into it.  However, Bishop, who was drugged, has now been downloaded into the mainframe, and he plans on uploading into the system...allowing himself to clone himself...and anyone else...anywhere in the universe.  Sara had planned on blowing up the generators to stop him.  She plans on staying back as Gary, Mick and the others leave.  But Mick refuses to let her go.  She worries about what she's become, and Mick says all he sees is his Captain...and his old friend.  That's enough for Sara to tell Gary to blow the generators, and they do, before Bishop can finish his upload. They escape Bishop's little bunker, and make their way to Kayla's ship.  Nurse Ava and the guards will stay behind....they're trained in survival, and they'll be fine.  They warn Sara about the alien nightstalkers, who will attack them once things go dark.  So, they have to fight their way through the monsters, as they get to the ship, but when they arrive, Kayla has gone.  As Sara and Gary feel Kayla left them for dead, Mick doesn't believe so.  So, as they're on the run from the nightstalker aliens, Kayla returns to help the team out.  She lands, and starts attacking back, and the team makes it to the ship, but it looks like Kayla doesn't make it...appearing to sacrifice herself to save Mick and his friends...as they get on the ship, and take off, hitting hyperspace as they head home. 

Behrad was in the right position to get to Sara and stop her from being abducted back in 1977, but she got too distracted by him, and she was kidnapped anyway.  The team returns to the ship fairly down. They can't change the past, and they have to accept Sara is gone.  Ava is watching Sara's proposal on TV again and again, but the file becomes corrupted.  When Ava asks Gideon what's going on, Sara speaks up.  Ava is in disbelief in at first, but they eventually reunite.  Later on, as Sara rejoins the team, and everyone is overjoyed to see her, they're about to leave for home, but Sara takes that time to stop and formally propose to Ava....who is overanxious to say "yes".  But she does, and the mannequin with the fireworks goes off, creating a nice little moment as the team cheers on their Captains on their engagement.  

Honestly...THIS was, by far, THE best episode of the season.  We had a plot that had a dangerous precedent to it, a villian with delusions of grandeur, and the leader of the team reunited with them.  The show had a nice pace, and I was glad that it was Sara that was able to take down the major villain.  Sure, she DID have help, but it was cool that the villain was defeated, and she FINALLY got home.  Of course, it appears we lost Kayla in the process, so not sure how Mick will feel about it, but he's happy (for HIM, anyway), to have Sara back.  We need to take note of all the quiet moments between Sara and Mick, as he will be gone at the end of this season. They are the OG's, and once Mick is gone...Sara is the ONLY ONE tying this show to its beginnings.  But we DID get our first interaction between Sara and Spooner...and that was cool.  And, of course, FINALLY got her and Ava together again, and that was a great romantic moment.  

Some of the other things we caught in this show as Zari finding out that both John and Astra have no magical powers, and they faked it.  Zari wasn't pleased he lied to her, but she's okay being the super-hero of the couple for now.  Behrad tapped into his inner Doc Brown with the idea to try and snag Sara before she gets abducted in 1977, and he was both goofy, but also despondent about Sara being gone.  I like how Nate stepped up as a leader when Ava was just down for the count.  

I'm glad we finished off the Bishop storyline, and that Sara is back with the team.  Hopefully, things pick up the last half of the season, and send Mick out on a high note.  They still have other aliens they need to capture that are floating about the timeline, and it'll be great to see Sara back in the mix, leading the team.  

So...what did YOU guys think of the this installment?  Glad that Sara and Ava are reunited?  Glad Sara is back leading the team?  Subscribe and leave me a comment below.  

Until then....Time is on our side.
