Not taking itself seriously and being, well, bonkers is something that Legends of Tomorrow takes pride in, but The CW series may have just outdone itself with its latest Season 4 episode title.

Showrunner Keto Shimizu recently took to Twitter to share the title for the show's upcoming 12th episode and, well, it's a fun one -- "The Eggplant, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".

"The Eggplant, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is an obvious play on the title of the classic C. S. Lewis Narnia story, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" but the graphic on the script Shimizu shared hints that Legends' episode will be a fair bit different than that wholesome book. The image features the title spelled out in emojis and, yes, it uses THAT emoji -- after all, many use the eggplant as a stand-in for a specific part of the male anatomy.

While it remains to be seen exactly what the episode will entail it's possible that it could be a reference to a familiar face from last season. We recently saw Nora Darhk (Courtney Ford) appear briefly as a Ren Faire witch so maybe she is the witch in the title. It's also possible that the witch could be one of the magical fugitives that the heroes are trying to set right this season.

"In typical Legends fashion, having saved the world and solving one big problem, they have actually launched a whole other set of problems — and this one being magical fugitives, as we're calling them." Shimizu told ComicBook.com earlier this year. "Creatures from myth, legend, fairy tales have now been spat out all over the timeline. The timeline has now been infected, essentially, with these magical creatures and it's now the Legends' job to clean up their mess."

"It's a combo [of original and established creatures]." Shimizu continued. "There will be some that will be very, very familiar, but of course with a Legends spin, so not quite the creature you're familiar with but our version of that creature. And then we will do some deep dives into some more obscure creatures, and of course in order to battle this new type of threat, which none of us are magical ourselves, none of us know how to battle these things, we enlist the help of a certain warlock to come join us and help us in that crusade."

That certain warlock? Matt Ryan's John Constantine, but just because he's there to help the team deal with these fugitives doesn't mean he will be without mystery.

"The reason we held back on making him a Legend is we always wanted to keep that shroud of mystery around him," showrunner Phil Klemmer explained. "We didn't want to have him acclimate ever to being integrated with the team... [We] selfishly wanted to create some new mystery around him for our show."

"So between dropping off the dragon's head and knocking on Sara [Caity Lotz] and Ava's [Jes Macallan] door in the middle of the night in the premiere, he lived a very eventful five months," Klemmer continued. "He was in a pretty good spot, relatively for Constantine, but we wanted him to be darker, more troubled, more mysterious. That's something for the audience to have to unravel: What happened to Constantine during the offseason and why has he changed?"
