The Legends come in and ask Constantine about the whereabouts of Bishop. He's turning "his" back on the team. The Legends realize that it isn't Constantine after all. The Waverider takes off. Astra and Spooner have no communication with the team. Astra and Spooner are at Texas, 1925. Almost 100 years ago. A man displeases in pain as he's about to lose his leg, a woman comes up to assist him. Spooner eventually realizes that she is her mother. The three greets with this Gloria. She tells 'em to come with her.
Meanwhile, Constantine and Bishop are searching for the Fountain of Imperium. Bishop is acting his usual self about mushrooms are ancient alien beings and are connecting to the Fountain. Constantine meets a little girl in the forest collecting purple flowers. The little girl herself is Cruz, now that sounds familiar! Right, it's Spooner! And Constantine walks in, oh god. Meanwhile in the Constantine Mansion, the team plan on finding Constantine to get Kayla by using an intergalactic communication device. In 1925, the group have some dinner. Constantine casts a spell making the others fall asleep, and shows Spooner what happened during that night. Oil men killed her mother, kid Spooner ran away and tripped on some mushrooms, giving her powers to protect her by the Fountain of Imperium.
Kayla finally arrives realizing that if she wants her babies back, she will have to help the Legends. Bishop has been making some potions that will make the Fountain of Imperium into thinking that he is worthy. The men arrive for Gloria. Spooner tells the truth to Gloria that she is her daughter. Astra warns that the consequences will revert Spooner meeting up with the Legends. Constantine performs a spell on the Fountain, casting a giant fricking mushroom. Astra takes kid Spooner. Spooner goes with Gloria telling the men that it is not for sale. The men load their guns, and Spooner uses her powers against them.
The men run away. The Fountain gives kid Spooner special powers. Kayla's ship arrives in 1925. They finally found the Waverider. Constantine takes the serum, but the deadly poison was within the serum! Sara, Ava, Gary, Kayla, and Rory pick up as many eggs as they can. Rory is eventually caught by the explosion. The Fountain withers away. Spooner seemingly passes out. Astra comes to Constantine as the Fountain slowly consumes him. What. A. God. Damn. Shocker. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Thoughts?
Man, it's so fun with Spooner and Astra together. God damn, this was intense and surprisingly emotional exploring more of Spooner's backstory. The female guest cast here is well-done at performing, and the best performance for Chavesh. I am keeping my expectations low if Constantine really died or not as the CW loves to play tricks on us and resurrect dead characters.
10/10.
