This week we see the return of our DC Arrowverse, mostly. Lucifer is still hiding back in December, Supergirl comments on just how many of these shows we have now, The Flash gives us a tiny episode for much cheaper just to see if we like it, Black Lightning’s first appearance deals with showing up again, The Legends of Tomorrow are in the future, and Arrow is bisected.
