New to the ship and missions, Zari (Tala Ashe) must find her place and learn to trust the team. Meanwhile, Stein (Victor Garber) begins working on a secret project on the ship which makes Rory (Dominic Purcell) and Jax (Franz Drameh) suspicious.

This was amazing. Probably my favorite episode of the series, and out of the entire Berlantiverse I would put this in the top five. It just had so much win I couldn't stop laughing and smiling throughout. And yes, when the Dominator baby went with his Mom I shed a little tear. Amazing episode.

That was a fun episode. Loved that it was basically an homage to Spielberg. They had Lucas last season and Indy and E.T. references here...some one is a child of the 80's.

Only nitpick was the Stein plot. They've turned him into a fool. Of course the rational think would be to tell them he build a way to home phone. Plus they have TWO time ships. It's impossible to miss the birth. It's like the entire crew has impulse-control disorder.

This probably was the single best episode we've gotten from LOT in three seasons. Palmer is the most likeable character on the show. But even in a Halloween episode, most of the cast weren't in costume until a final scene for one gag with bullies.

I never much liked Stein and Jax anyway, so if they aren't going to do Firestorm properly why even bother having those two characters? Dump them, save some money on salaries, and use some of that savings elsewhere.

That was amazing. Probably the best episode of the entire series. Great mix of heart and humor. Love that it was essentially paying homage to ET.

at the baby dominator mind controlling those agents to sing and dance to "Singing in the Rain"

Looks like they're planning for Garber's exit on the show with the birth of his grandchild and Jax wanting to break off Firestorm from him.

Pretty fun stuff. Isis' costume (I vaguely recall the 70s series). ET. Singing agents in the rain.

Awesome episode. You knew that whole bike-moon scene was coming, but it was still great when it happened. Pretty clear they are setting up for Garber to leave the show, which is a bummer because he is one of the reasons I gave the show a chance in the first place. But I'm sure Jax will figure out how to break from Stein. Maybe they will figure out a way for him not to need a partner or they will just let him leave along with Garber.

Ever since they introduced her I've been wondering, who? But at soon as I saw that costume I was, oh yeah, Isis.
