Next week, with Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) taking charge of the team, the Legends of Tomorrow steal a nuclear weapon and find themselves smack dab in the center of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which is not exactly the most ideal place to be.
However, while he may have created one problem for the Legends to solve, it looks like he and Spooner (Lisseth Chavez) may actually have a lead on how to find Sara (Caity Lotz), but based on the plot synopsis, it sounds like he'll have to fly solo to bring her home.
Meanwhile, the rest of the team split up with Nate (Nick Zano) and Zari (Tala Ashe) working together to stop the nuclear disaster with JFK while Behrad (Shayan Sobhian) does his best to leverage his newfound friendship to stop Castro from starting a nuclear war.

FOLLOWING ORDERS - The Legends are shocked when Rory (Dominc Purcell) takes command and manages to find the location of an important Alien, but he also lands them in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Ava (Jes Macallan) is eager to question the Alien, but they must steal it back from the Cubans and Russians who think it is bio-warfare sent by the Americans. The team makes the decision to split up, leaving Nate (Nick Zano) and Zari (Tala Ashe) to work together to stop a nuclear disaster alongside JFK while Behrad (Shayan Sobhian) tries to leverage his newfound friendship to stop Castro from starting a war. Meanwhile, with Spooner's (Lisseth Chavez) help, Rory makes an unlikely deal that could lead him on a solo mission to find Sara (Caity Lotz). Adam Tsekham, Olivia Swann and Matt Ryan also star. Sudz Sutherland directed the episode written by Phil Klemmer (604). Original airdate 5/23/2021.
