With it now painfully obvious that Nate and Zari are falling for one another, Sara throws them a bone. Well… an egg. A golden egg in 1933. One the Nazis will kill for. Meanwhile, what’s eating Ray Palmer?

The core plot here is the exact sort of thing Legends does brilliantly, a straight up, soup to nuts comedy romp that gives Nate and Zari a chance to have a little fun. I especially liked Zari using everyone’s favourite metal skinned history detective like a bulletproof vest. Plus the pair really are genuinely cute together and the episode has a lot of fun exploring that.

Elsewhere, the dark night of the two nicest men on the show begins. Brandon Routh has massive fun playing not-quite-in-control Ray and Adam Tsekhman continues to do excellent work as the newly nuanced and… kind of angry… Gary. And who knew his nipple loss to the unicorn at the top of the season would be so important? Or indeed that that is a sentence I would ever write?

There’s a ton of fun going on elsewhere too, especially as Charlie and Mick decide to get a little easy money by accepting an invitation to reveal Mick’s identity as a romance writer. What starts off as a goofy B plot actually turns into a moment of real emotion and it’s really great to see the show explore Mick’s unusual career path and how healthy it is for him. Very quietly, he’s been given some major character development this season and it’s really paying off. Even if as we find out this week the romance convention does not.

Verdict: Rounded out with Nora being recruited by the Time Bureau (YAAAAAAY!) this is a packed episode that does a lot, all of it well. And seriously, the nipple thing is surprisingly vital and successful. Who knew?! 9/10
