When "Wet Hot American Bummer" — the fourth Legends of Tomorrow episode of the season — airs tonight, it'll be without actor Nick Zano, the character behind Nate Heywood/Citizen Steel.

Heywood took to Instagram earlier this afternoon to share an image of him and his newborn daughter, who was born during the filming of the episode, hence Zano's absence. In the heartfelt message, Zano revealed his wife had suffered complications throughout the pregnancy and that his daughter had spent nearly a month in the neonatal intensive care unit at British Columbia Children's hospital.

The synopsis for "Wet Hot American Bummer" can be seen below!
