DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Shogun Recap With Spoilers

10/27/2016 11:49 pm EDT

After checking in on Nate's medical progress, Stein and Palmer are surprised and knocked out by Vixen -- who follows that up by getting the jump on Canary and Jax before finally holding a knife on Mick, blaming him for killing Hourman.

After a brief tussle, she's about to kill Mick when she's stopped by Nate -- whose entire body is seemingly made of liquid metal. He's as surprised as anybody else about it.

Later, Sara volunteers Ray to help the newly-minted Steel learn the ropes of his powers, then goes to check on Vixen. She threatens to escape and kill Rory, explaining that she believes he killed Hourman. Canary admits taht they've been tracking a rogue time traveler, and that it might be the killer. She makes Vixen promise not to kill Rory unless they can confirm that he actually deserves it.

In another room, Ray explains that he thinks the threat presented by Amaya (Vixen) triggered an adrenal response, and that's what made Steel's powers manifest. He decides to test this theory by firing one of his gauntlets at his fellow Legend.

Elsewhere, Sara is bringing Amaya through the ship, explaining that since there's a rogue time traveler involved, they can't just travel back and save Hourman without running the risk of making the bad guy aware of it, leading him to travel back further and kill Hourman earlier, further damaging time. She tries to send Vixen away, telling her that she promises resolution, but Vixen insists on staying until the killer is brought to justice.While Ray and Nate are testing Nate's new powers, Ray gets thrown up against a cargo door, knocking it open. The two are thrown out into the timestream.

With the ship momentarily damaged, Ray tracks Nate to Feudal Japan, where each of them crashes into the ground, making a significant crater. When Ray awakes, his crater is surrounded by Samurai, one of whom knocks him out from behind.

When Nate awakes, he's on the back of a horse, being led by a young woman. She leads Nate to her father, whom she wants to care for the injured man (over his own protests that if the Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu finds out, he will object).

In a cell, Ray is being chained up and interrogated by the Shogun's men -- when the Shogun himself comes to claim the armor over Ray's objections.

Back in the village, Masako (the young woman from earlier) is helping bathe Nate, who upsets her by asking about the Shogun. As it turns out, he's historically notorious...and she's engaged to be married to him against her will tomorrow.

Back on the Waverider, Amaya and Mick continue to argue, until Sara finally has enough and tells them to knock it off. Jax continues to work away at repairing the ship -- and when he thinks he's done, Stein runs a diagnostics report, during which it's revealed that there's an extra compartment in the ship that Jax was never before aware of. The two decide to track it down.

In the village, Masako is approached by the Shogun's men, who ask her if she's seen any foreigners. She denies it, but before they can leave, Nate comes out to confront them. He takes a beating when his powers won't work, including a sword to the gut.

They leave him there to bleed out and make a veiled threat to Masako about the dangers of surprises. Later, she and her father try to nurse Nate back to health but, as a hemophiliac, he is pretty sure he's screwed as he drifts off into unconsciousness.

Elsewhere in the woods, Mick, Amaya, and Sara are in period clothes and tracking the ATOM suit, all while arguing because Mick is obsessed with ninjas, and Amaya is sure they don't exist. Sara, using the League of Assassins as evidence, sides with Rory.

On the Waverider, Stein and Jax find a secret door that leads them to akeypad set up by Rip Hunter. Jax is reluctant to try to crack it.

Nearby, Amaya, Sara, and Mick find the Shogun wearing the ATOM armor when they track it down. While Ray breaks out of his cell, Sara and the Shogun's lieutenant -- the one who stabbed Nate -- square off. When he starts to get the better of her, Vixen knocks him down -- but the Shogun has figured out how to make the energy blasts on the suit work, and chases them down. They rescue Ray and make their escape.

At Masako's home, Nate realizes that the serum has healed his hemophilia. He tells Masako about the condition, and the two have a connection. They are about to kiss when Ray and the others come to retrieve him. He tells them they have to stay and prevent the Shogun from marrying Masako, and Sara realizes that it's easier to defend a village than storm a castle, so they plan to take out the Shogun and his men when he comes to retrieve his bride.

On the ship, Jax and Stein are looking over the hidden room -- apparently an armory. One of their movements wakes up a computer screen where there's a voice message from Barry Allen -- in 2056. He has a message he wants Hunter to keep a secret, even from the rest of his team.

Ray works with Nate, trying to get his powers to come back online. Ray reveals that the only way to defeat the Shogun is to blow the suit up, leaving Ray with nothing.

Elsewhere in the village, Amaya and Sara talk about Amaya's powers and the trust Sara has for Mick.

At Masako's house, her father tells Ray a story of his son, for whom he made the strongest armor and the best sword in Japan. He says that the Shogun ordered his son to commit seppuku, in order to remove the popular samurai from his men. He tells Ray to follow him.

Elsewhere, Nate continues to struggle with his lack of powers, talking to Masako, who gives him some advice. When the Shogun and his men approach, he sends her to hide and goes to confront the Shogun. He's blasted into unconsciousness by a blast from the ATOM suit, and then Ray shows up with the armor and sword of Masako's brother to challenge him.

Outside a nearby temple, a group of the Shogun's men led by his lieutenant corner Sara, but between her skills and Amaya's powers, they manage to fend the men off.

Ray squares off with the Shogun; in the nearby woods, Mick ends up getting attacked by a trio of ninjas, who are just about to drag him away to his final fate; Sara and Amaya are nearly finished with the men when Mick, wearing a ninja's outfit, takes out the final pair. After knocking Ray over, the Shogun is attacked by Masako, who takes up her brother's sword, which Ray had dropped. He quickly gets the better of her, though, and is about to deliver a killing blow when Nate shows up, now as Steel. While Sara kills the Shogun's lieutenant, Nate successfully destroys the suit using the placement and methodology Ray showed him earlier. He apologizes to Ray, but Ray says he's proud of his friend figuring out his powers.

That night, Nate starts to ask Masako out, but she tells him that he has to return to the sky. They kiss, and he gives her the katana, telling her that he saw how honrably she stood up to the Shogun earlier. He suggests she could be the village's protector.

Ray asks Masako's father his family name: it's Yamashiro, the family of the Suicide Squad's Katana. Everyone says their good-byes, with Rory upset he has "no proof ninjas exist."

Later, on the ship, Amaya tells him that she knows he's not really such a bad guy behind his facade. He denies it, and she tosses a ninja star at him, telling him it's evidence that the ninja really exist.

As Sara preps for takeoff, Jax and Stein debate whether or not to tell the team about Barry's message. They decide not to, for now.
