The episode begins with the team on a battlefield in WWI France. They are trying to find Jesus' blood using the Spear of Destiny.
72 hours earlier, the team stands in the Waverider. They try to determine how to keep the Spear out of the Legion of Doom's hands. Rip reveals that he knows the Legion's base of operations, which is located in the Vanishing Point.
The team arrives at the Vanishing Point and splits up into two teams. They separate into smaller groups, each taking a piece of the Spear with them. The groups approach the Legion's entrance before Rip's piece of the spear begins glowing.
Mick approaches the energy holder that Snart sacrificed himself in. He and Sara discuss Snart's sacrifice and what it meant for both of them.
Jax and Rip notice a strange box, that they think is holding the other pieces of the spear. Rip tries to shoot at it, but doesn't succeed. Jax uses his transmutation technique to turn the box into a pile of jellybeans. Rip grabs the other pieces of the Spear.
Thawne watches as the team escapes to the Waverider and flies away.
Back in the Waverider, the team watches as the Spear comes together into one piece. Rip explains that now that the Spear is whole, the team should make sure they aren't tempted to change reality with it. Mick tries to fire at the Spear to destroy it, but fails. Amaya discovers a Latin phrase written on the side of the Spear - "Born of blood, undone by blood."
Nate suggests destroying the Spear through utilizing its origins in Jesus' blood. Rip reminds the team that any event surrounding Jesus is too significant for them to manipulate, but Nate realizes another way.
Nate explains to the team that the blood of Christ is buried in Gawain's tomb in the South of France. The man who is the biggest expert on the subject is none other than J.R.R. Tolkien, who fought in WWI.
Thawne and Darhk argue about the Legends having the Spear. Thawne suggests that they travel to where the Legends go to destroy the Spear, where they can steal it from them and have it in one piece. Darhk reveals that he is going to bring reinforcements on the mission.
The Waverider arrives in WWI France. Gideon explains that Tolkien was sent to a military hospital. Rip, Ray, Nate, Mick, and Amaya suit up and go off to find him.
Amaya and Mick enter the hospital tent. An injured soldier calls Amaya to his aid, saying he doesn't want to die alone.
Mick distracts himself by eating from a basket of bread for the prisoners. He sees Snart near the exit of the tent, and follows him outside.
Snart chastises Mick for following on the good guys' mission.
Rip, Ray, and Nate walk through a trench. They find Tolkien, who has fallen ill, and escort him to safety.
Snart explains to Mick that he could use the Spear to bring Snart back to life. Mick tells Snart he is just a hallucination, and Snart slaps him across the face.
Tolkien wakes up in the Waverider. Rip and Nate explain that they kidnapped him to locate Sir Gawain's tomb, so their team can finishing their journey to destroy an ancient artifact.
Amaya sits in the lunch room, thinking about what she saw on the battlefield. Sara comes in and asks her what's wrong. Amaya explains that Gideon showed her her future, and seeing the battlefield in WWI only made it more real. Sara reassures Amaya that from what Laurel has told her, Amaya's granddaughter Mari grows up to be a hero in her own right.
Mick resists the temptation to touch the Spear of Destiny. Stein comes in, and Mick explains to him that he saw Snart again. Sara, Nate, and Rip interrupt them, and explain that Gawain's tomb is located inside a church.
Tolkien leads the team through the cathedral, which is in disarray. Mick attempts to steal one of the relics, and Nate realizes that the writing on it will lead them to the tomb. They walk across the room and find Sir Gawain hidden in a pillar. Snart interrupts them, and is joined by Darhk.
Darhk explains that the Legion knows the Legends' team, thanks to what Mick accidentally told Snart. A group of soldiers advance on the Legends, and they fight them off. Tolkien rushes to preserve the engraving on Gawain's shield through a stone rubbing, and the group escapes.
The rest of the team learns about Snart being alive. Sara, Jax, and Stein question whether or not the team will be able to trust Mick now that Snart is back in the picture. Mick gets upset.
Tolkien and Nate discuss the spear's powers. Tolkien takes a further look at his stone rubbing and realizes where they need to go to destroy the Spear.
Amaya begins to hear voices that call her to the Spear. Mick notices, and the pair discuss what they're feeling. They both hear their parents' voices, asking them to do what's right.
Sara calls the team together, and Tolkien explains that they will need to go back into the battlefield to find the blood of Christ. Amaya suggests using the Spear to erase the Legion of Doom from history. Sara and Rip convince her not to give in to temptation. The rest of the team agrees to travel into the warzone, while Amaya reassures that she thinks its a mistake.
The team runs onto the battlefield, like in the beginning of the episode. Sara, Amaya, and Nate figure out where the blood of Christ is located.
Tolkien and Rip visit the army's commander, asking him to contact the opposing side's commander to stop the war. The commander disagrees.
Stein and Rip ask the same of the German commander, but he only agrees to stop if the British side does as well.
The British troops begin invading, making it the perfect time for the team to move towards the blood of Christ. Sara, Amaya, Nate, and Mick run through the battlefield.
Rip punches the British commander so he can deliver the ceasefire message. The Waverider broadcasts the message to all of the troops. Rip asks both sides to lay down their arms, so that the injured can be taken off of the battlefield and humanity can be saved. The ceasefire commenses.
The team follows the glow of the Spear to Christ's blood. They retrieve the box and open it, finding a vial inside.
Darhk and Snart approach the group, threatening to kill them if they don't hand over the Spear.
Sara asks Mick to hand over the Spear, but he doesn't want to. The team tries to talk Mick down from going with Snart and Darhk. Mick takes the Spear and joins the duo. He asks Amaya to join him, so they can help fix each other's timelines. She declines.
Snart sets off a grenade, starting the battle around them back up. Thawne speeds around and takes Darhk, Snart, and Mick to safety.
Nate, Sara, and Amaya run away. Nate drops the vial of Christ's blood, causing it to break all over the ground.
Jax lands the Waverider and Sara and Nate run to escape. Amaya hesitates running to safety as well, but ultimately joins them.
Amaya criticizes Sara for making the wrong choice with how to destroy the Spear. The team questions whether or not they even trusted Mick to begin with. Nate points out that they also abandoned Tolkien in the trenches as well, even though they told him there would be hope. Nate questions whether or not the Legion actually know how to use the Spear, because the team would be able to get it back if the Legion isn't actually able to use it.
Thawne and Darhk congratulate Snart and Mick for the job well done. Merlyn joins them with the owner's manual for the Spear. The group grabs hold of it and Merlyn's chants begin to activate it.
