Oliver calls in a favor from old friend John Constantine when things with Sara take a turn for the worse.

I feel like this episode could also be called “Proof NBC are idiots for not renewing Constantine, and others are dumb for not picking it up.”

Arrow has fun tonight with an interesting addition that adds John Constantine to the Flash/Arrow universe. The episode works in a bunch of ways.

One, it deals with Sarah and her currently coming back from the dead. She’s running around like a maniac and to me that felt a little humorous. But, when you need someone to help bring back someone’s soul, Constantine works!

The other part of the episode is how Oliver knows Constantine. What’s really interesting is they use the opportunity to not only set up how he can be called in the present, but also sets a little up in how Oliver can take on Darhk. There’s a bit of foreshadowing there.

I think the episode is really smart in not only how it brings in Constantine, but how they use him now and in the future. If nothing else, it reminds me, I really love Matthew Smith’s depiction of the character and hope we see him more. So talented and clearly needs to be used.

Overall, a nice episode that helps resolves some issues, and helps propel us ahead.

Overall rating: 7.75
