Clotho

Charlie attempts to utilize the Loom of Fate to revive Behrad, only to coming up short, making the ship lose power.

Meanwhile Mick tries to get close to Lita by helping her do history studies with Nate. When the Legends discover that the Loom sections have disappeared and the Waverider was disrupted, they promptly blame Astra.

Marchosias

In the wake of hearing a voice advising her to murder Gary when Junior was close by, and Zari discovering a film of the group wrecking the ship, Sara and the others understand that Junior is to be faulted. Gary uncovers that Junior was a "salvage" from Hell, causing Ava to understand that Junior is really a hellhound who was known as the Son of Sam's demon dog named Marchosias. After Gary stops Marchosias from making Nate kill Zari, Marchosias reveals that he was going kill them all because he hates Humans.

Trivia

• When Zari is looking at the picture of her and Behrad, the emotional poignant theme is heard playing from the episode "Marooned", when Snart pretended to kill Rory and instead actually left him marooned in an unknown time period.
• Gary says he got "Gary Jr. II", a rabbit, from a mysterious carnie, who told him not to feed it after midnight, an obvious reference to the film Gremlins, where one rule is not to feed the Mogwai past midnight.
• Several callbacks to previous episodes are made:
  • Sara mentions several people who have left the ship for different reasons (Ray, Jax, Rip).
  • Ava's serial killer podcast is mentioned again.
• The title of the episode references Gary referring to Marchosias, as Gary Junior, as not being ship broken after the latter urinated on the ship.

Goofs

• Sara is surprised when Gideon states that there are no abnormalities in her ocular region, but Sara already saw past this point while talking to Ava.
