Oh, it's been a really long wait indeed! 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Season 5's next episode 'Zari, Not Zari' is finally set to air on The CW and it looks like it's going to be a juicy one.

Episode 9 has been a long time coming thanks to the Arrowverse shows taking a long break, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic-induced shutdown that has halted production on most shows and movies. This episode is a particularly exciting one because it has been teased that the show's stars will be taking a trip to the set of 'Supernatural', the fan-favorite fantasy drama series that's currently in its final season. 

But that's not the only reason to get excited. The promo clip for the episode shows Nate Heywood (Nick Zano) and Zari Tarazi (Tala Ashe) waking up in bed together, to their shared horror. 

Nate's been pining after Zari all season and it's possible that at some point after his best friend Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) left the Waverider, the crew may have gotten a bit drunk and had what we're going to call "an escalation". In either case, this is going to force the two to deal with their feelings towards each other and the synopsis reveals that Zari's going to do this by going on a "meditative journey".



 

The synopsis and the promo both hint at a lot of family drama for Rory (Dominic Purcell), who has to deal with his newly-discovered fatherhood, and for Charlie / Clotho (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), whose quest to find the pieces of the Loom of Fate brings her into conflict with a mysterious woman who may be one of her sisters, the legendary Fates of Ancient Greek mythology.

Here's the official description for the episode, "MEMORIES – Sara (Caity Lotz), Constantine (Matt Ryan) and Charlie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) find themselves in British Columbia searching for another piece of the Loom, but they run into a problem they couldn’t have foreseen. Zari (Tala Ashe) has been having trouble feeling like herself, so she goes on a meditative journey at the suggestion of Behrad (guest star Shayan Sobhian). Meanwhile, Ava (Jes Macallan) volunteers to try and help Rory (Dominic Purcell) with a personal problem. Nick Zano and Olivia Swann also star. Kevin Mock directed the episode written by Morgan Faust & Tyron Carter."

'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Season 5 airs new episodes Tuesdays at 9 pm ET, exclusively on The CW.
