The CW has released the official synopsis for “Too Legit to Quit,” the February 23 episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Picking up where last night’s cliffhanger left off, the episode sees Evil Gideon and the Robo-Legends defeated, but Gideon clinging to life after having been stabbed in the battle. Unfortunately for all involved, the only way to save human Gideon is to bring Evil Gideon back online, and that means trouble for the Legends. The episode description comes on the heels of a huge announcement yesterday: Scrubs and Clueless star Donald Faison is set to appear in the season finale, and to continue into season 8 if the show is renewed.
The character Faison will play is ostensibly still a secret, but the character description certainly makes it sound like he will be playing Booster Gold. Besides being a huge win for fans who have long requested the hero, that decision would also make Booster the first big-name DC character introduced on Legends of Tomorrow in years.

“We are beyond thrilled to have Donald Faison join the Waverider,” said Legends of Tomorrow showrunners Phil Klemmer and Keto Shimizu in a statement yesterday. “We are all huge fans of his impressive body of work, and seeing him with the rest of the Legends in our finale was an absolute, side-splitting joy. We can’t wait for our fans to see who he’s playing, and we look forward to telling many more stories with him and our lovable misfits should we be blessed with an eighth season.”
