Season three episode six of The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow pulled a Freaky Friday on Professor Stein and Jax. The two swapped bodies which provided an opportunity for Victor Garber and Franz Drameh to have a little fun at each other’s expense. Episode six also found the Legends heading to old Hollywood to retrieve Helen of Troy and by the end of the episode, the team had helped launch inventor/actress Hedy Lamarr’s career.
There was an added geek-out moment of Helen of Troy’s surprise relocation to Themyscira, instead of being sent back to her homeland. Wonder Woman fans know that’s where the Amazons live, and the Helen of Troy scene marked the first major reference to Wonder Woman in the Arrowverse.
Up next, season three episode seven titled “Welcome to the Jungle” featuring Grodd. Directed by Mairzee Almas from a script by Ray Utarnachitt and Tyron B. Carter, episode seven airs on November 21, 2017.
