John and Zed return to New Orleans when Detective Jim Corrigan asks for their help in the case of a missing girl. Papa Midnite takes steps toward exacting his revenge on John. Meanwhile, the truth behind the Rising Darkness comes to light.

Constantine wraps up its abbreviated season on a bit of a mixed note. There’s some cool stuff here, and some other things that are very blah. It’s definitely a step back from the quality that was the last few episodes.

Really, the highlight is the last five minutes or so with Zed and Corrigan talking and her explaining how she saw his death. It’s something that we comic fans are waiting for in a rather odd way.

The episode fits into the whole evil closing in on Constantine, and the night’s bad guy is a pretty nasty one. But really there’s little conclusion otherwise to the over-arching story. In fact the story is left hanging even more so. We need a second season!

The trio of Constantine, Zed and Corrigan are actually really solid. If the series gets a second season, I really hope we see more of them together, it’s somewhere the show can go, and go strongly. The first season was beyond uneven, but we saw what the series could be. Now, we need a television exec to take a chance, and give the series a second chance. Its proven it deserves at least a bit of one.
