Wild Dog And The Luthors Take Center Stage In Descriptions For Upcoming ARROW And SUPERGIRL Episodes
The CW has released descriptions for Arrow and Supergirl, and they promise to reveal the secrets behind Wild Dog's origin story and the return of an iconic Superman villain to National City...
There are no new episodes of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow the week beginning February 12th, but we do still have Supergirl and Arrow to look forward to. In the former, Superman villain Metallo will return as we look set to learn more about the Luthor family in flashbacks. Does that mean we'll get to see Lex or Lionel? That remains to be seen, but you have to believe they'll be referenced in some way.
Over in Arrow, we're finally going to learn more about Wild Dog's history as we take a break from Oliver Queen's time in Russia, something which may prove to be frustrating now that Talia al Ghul has arrived on the scene! Still, Rene has proved to be one of the more compelling new members of Team Arrow during season five, so getting to spend more time with the vigilante promises to be a lot of fun...
Supergirl - "Luthors"
LENA IS ARRESTED – After Metallo (guest star Frederick Schmidt) breaks out of prison and frees Lillian Luthor (guest star Brenda Strong), the police blame Lena (guest star Katie McGrath) for his escape and arrest her. Despite overwhelming evidence, Kara (Melissa Benoist) refuses to believe her friend is guilty and fights to clear Lena’s name. Flashbacks reveal how Lena came to be a Luthor. Meanwhile, Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Maggie (Floriana Lima) celebrate their first Valentine’s Day together. Tawnia McKiernan directed the episode written by Robert Rovner and Cindy Lichtman.
Arrow - "Spectre of the Gun"
WILD DOG’S HISTORY IS REVEALED — A traumatic attack on City Hall triggers painful memories for Rene (Rick Gonzalez) about his family. Flashbacks reveal how Rene went from simple family man to a hero named Wild Dog. Meanwhile, Oliver (Stephen Amell) must deal with the perpetrator behind the attack and realizes the best way to do so is as Mayor Queen instead of the Green Arrow. Tensions run high in the Arrow bunker. Kristin Windell directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim.
