DC's Legends of Tomorrow

Previously on "Legends of Tomorrow..."

The more the timeline's corrupted,

the weaker the prison holding Mallus becomes.

Maybe these totems are the keys to stopping him.

The Fire Totem wasn't meant for me.

Damien Darhk, what has he promised you?

A chance to protect our village.

- No. - We'll fix this.

We'll get your totem back.

Gideon, delete file 354-Z.

Yes, Director Hunter.

Sara can never find out the truth about Ava.

- Look, I don't deserve you. - Sara, yes you do.

No, Ava, I don't.

I'm not gonna do this. I'm sorry.

I am not just walking out on the team, Ray.

She says, as she's literally walking away.

Sara, we appreciate that you may need a break

after what happened with the Death Totem.

But this is the absolute worst time for you to leave.

At least let us lock you up in the brig.

We need you here now mor.

Yeah, we've almost won the totem race.

Which is exactly why I need to go.

Look, we are so close to gaining control over "the six."

and getting the upper hand on Mallus.

I just...

I need a day to clear my head.

Yeah, but who's gonna stop Mick from burning down

the ship with the Fire Totem?

Someone's gonna have to fill in the role

of captain while I'm gone.

Oh, well, uh, I hadn't exactly thought I'd...

I'd pick up the mantle this soon, but...

I'm putting Amaya in charge.

Good luck.

Sorry about that, big guy.

Hey, hi, um,

do you think that maybe you could do that somewhere else?

We do have a galley.

You want a dog?

It's pork.

So what?

No, thank you.

Wow, I'm sure that's what those ancient folks

had in mind when they created the Fire Totem.

- Every man's gotta eat. - There you are, Mick.

You ready?

- For what? - Training.

Do you remember?

We spoke about learning to harness the powers

- of the totem. - Hmm.

I got a new trick.

Pull my finger.

- What? - Pull my finger.

Do not pull his finger.

Let's just say hot dogs aren't the only thing he's learned

how to light on fire.

Sorry to interrupt, Ms. Jiwe,

but Dr. Heywood requests your presence in the library.

Captain's duties are never over.

But, seeing as you're not busy...

No, no, no, please don't... Please don't ask me.

I can't think of anyone better to learn to train

a new totem bearer.

Yeah, sure.

I'll get right on it.

Good luck.

So, what's going on?

It's your granddaughter, Mari.

She's been hurt.

A minor wrinkle in the 2018 timeline.

How badly?

The article says she was burned trying to save people

from a warehouse fire in Detroit.

Doesn't she have superpowers, though?

This is all my fault.

Ever since I lost my totem,

the timeline must be starting to solidify.

Which means, in this new reality,

the totem was never passed down to her.

So Mari is a vigilante without her totem.

- I have to go and talk to her. - What?

No, you cannot talk to your own granddaughter.

- That will cause... - Unforeseen consequences.

I know, but how much worse can things truly get?

Sara put me in charge while she steps away.

All the more reason why you should stay on the ship.

Okay? I'll go to Detroit, and I'll talk to her.

- And I'll, uh... I'll help him. - Yeah.

There's nothing this dynamic duo cannot do.

Okay, fine.

Just be careful.

Look, Sara, for what it's worth,

I know it wasn't the real you who tried to kill us.

That's just it, Ray. That was the real me.

Which is why I need to...

Ms. Lance? It's Gary.

Sorry to drop in on you like this.

What're you doing? Open your eyes, Gary.

Oh, hi.

Sorry, I didn't wanna accidentally portal

into your quarters and catch you and Director Sharpe,

you know...

together.

Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore

because we broke up.

Wait, what?

Why didn't you tell us?

No, no, you guys can't break up.

I was shipping you so hard.

That's why you're leaving.

That is not why I'm leaving.

And if you're looking for Ava, I suggest you check her office.

Uh, well, that's the thing.

She hasn't been to work in a few days,

which is very unlike her.

I've already been covering for her,

I forged her signature twice.

What am I supposed to do next? Put on a wig and pantsuit

and pretend I'm her?

- No, don't do that. - What if she's in trouble?

I mean, we already lost Director Bennett.

What if Grodd got to her too? Oh, my God, oh, my God...

Gary, Gary, deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Don't worry, Gary.

Because we're gonna find her.

"We" will find her?

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us, Mr. McCabe.

Mari's resting.

I'll have someone come grab you when she wakes up.

We're from "The Detroit Chronicle"

and we'd like to do a story

about your foster daughter's heroism.

To tell you the truth,

I wish she was less interested in saving everyone else's lives

and more compelled to protect her own.

Mari's a brave woman.

But maybe you should remind her that there are police

and firefighters too.

And that the safety of Detroit isn't, you know,

her responsibility.

You don't have to tell me that.

Sometimes I feel like my daughter,

she's walking around with a target on her back.

Excuse me for a second.

If Ava comes back and finds us

snooping through her office...

We're only snooping to find out where she went.

What're you doing?

I am hacking into the Bureau's network

to access Ava's personnel file.

- Huh. - What is it?

Director Sharpe's personnel file has been erased.

Someone deleted it remotely from the Waverider.

Wow, she must've really wanted to go off the radar.

Wait, you think Director Sharpe erased her own file?

That's crazy.

Yeah, so is putting on a wig

and impersonating your boss, Gary.

I didn't actually do it.

- Mm-hmm. - What are you doing?

Looking for clues as to where she might've gone.

Birthday card from her parents in Fresno.

Think she might've gone to Fresno?

Does that mean we have to go to Fresno?

- You're sure you saw Kuasa? - Yeah.

Just be on the lookout for a badass in a leather outfit.

Or a suspicious puddle of water.

There she is!

I got her.

Dude, don't just stand there.

Hello.

Not so fast.

- Wally, wait, she's... - Dangerous, I know.

Ah, as soon as I catch my breath,

we're gonna stop you from hurting your sister.

Hurt Mari?

I'm here to protect her. You idiots.

Well, this isn't exactly how I imagined

meeting Ava's parents.

Not that I imagined meeting Ava's parents.

I just, I...

Hello. How can we help you?

Pam and Randy Sharpe?

Says so on our marriage license.

Looks like they stepped right out of an L.L. Bean catalogue.

Now we know where Director Sharpe gets her perfect

bone structure.

And you are?

We're friends of your daughter.

Well, unfortunately, Ava...

Hasn't shown up for work in a few days,

and we're getting a little worried.

We haven't seen her in months.

I hope she's okay.

We were hoping that we could come inside.

Maybe together we could figure out where she's gone.

Sure. Uh, Pammy here just baked up a storm

of her famous cookies.
