The Team Come Face To Face With Their Past Selves In New LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Stills
The CW has released the first images from the "Last Refuge" episode of Legends of Tomorrow and they feature the team meeting their younger selves as they try to save them from a deadly assassin.
Time travel is confusing at the best of times, but things look set to get even more chaotic in Legends of Tomorrow when the team is forced to travel back in time to essentially kidnap their younger selves in a bid to save them from as assassin dead set on erasing Rip Hunter's ragtag group from the timeline. That's going to lead to a lot of very unique meetings, while the synopsis teases intel on Rip's origin.
RIP’S BACKSTORY IS REVEALED – The team is targeted by The Pilgrim (guest star Faye Kingslee), a deadly assassin who wants to erase the Legends from the timeline by killing their younger, non-superhero selves. As a protective countermeasure, Rip (Arthur Darvill) decides Sara (Caity Lotz), Snart (Wentworth Miller), Rory (Dominic Purcell), Professor Stein (Victor Garber) and Jax (Franz Drameh) need to kidnap their past selves first before The Pilgrim gets to them. Coming face-to-face with the younger versions of themselves proves to be both a physical and emotional challenge for certain members of the team who would rather forget their past. Rip tells them he has a refuge for their precious cargo – an orphanage that raises future Time Masters and where he himself grew up. Rachel Talalay directed the episode written by Chris Fedak & Matthew Maala.
