The CW has released the official synopses for the second week of broadcasting for all of their DC superhero shows: Supergirl, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrow.

Each of the four shows left some giant plot threads dangling at the end of last season, with Arrow‘s entire cast seemingly blown up on Lian Yu; Barry Allen disappearing “forever” into the Speed Force on The Flash; Supergirl losing her boyfriend to save the city; and the Legends of Tomorrow utterly breaking space and time in a spectacular and kind of hilarious way.
In two short weeks (less, actually, although two weeks from this writing we will be watching Arrow‘s premiere), all four of the shows will return — along with the Archie Comics adaptation Riverdale and Supernatural, plus new shows Dynasty and Valor.
You can check out the official synopses for DC’s CW superhero shows below.
