Elsewhere, Tommy may have to join forces with the nefarious head of Renautas.

Also this week: Maisie Williams is back on Doctor Who, locked with the Doctor and Clara inside a magical alien world. Team Flash must save Caitlin from Grodd despite Barry’s inability to walk, and Lucy Lane (guest star Jenna Dewan Tatum) arrives on Supergirl to try and rekindle an old flame with James Olsen. And on The Librarians, Flynn (Noah Wyle) is kidnapped by a stranger who has acquired the Library’s missing artifacts.
