New DC TV Synopses For SUPERGIRL, THE FLASH, BLACK LIGHTNING, & ARROW Tease Surprising Developments
The CW has just released new DC TV plot synopses for the week of January 29th, previewing episodes that will see Alex get close to Reign, Team Flash getting small, and a showdown between Oliver and Dinah!
As we get ready for the return of DC TV next week, the CW has gone ahead and released new plot synopses for the week of January 29th, which tease a number of surprising developments.
First up, Supergirl will air another Lena Luthor-centric episode that will once again see her (Katie McGrath) try to clear her name after Morgan Edge (Adrian Pasdar) accuses her of attempted murder. Meanwhile, the episode's B-plot will have Sam (Odette Annable) reach out to Alex (Chyler Leigh) after she realizes that she's been losing time for the past several weeks.
Then, on The Flash, Cisco and Ralph face their worse nightmare when they're shrunk to miniature versions of themselves while Cecile begins to realize that she may be developing superpowers during her pregnancy. It also seems like Barry (Grant Gustin) will still be imprisoned three weeks into the new year as he encounters a mysterious figure from his father's past.
Black Lightning's third hour will shift the focus to Anissa (Nafessa Williams) as she begins to come into her own while that week's Arrow will feature a major showdown between the Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) and the Black Canary (Juliana Harkavy).
