It’s been a strong season for the show … but does the end of the season finally mean the end of the road for Grant Ward (Brett Dalton)?
On Thursday Legends of Tomorrow closes out its freshman season as the team tries to put an end to Vandal Savage once and for all, while on The 100 Clarke and the others are confronted with a very different reality in the City of Lights. Grimm also wraps up this week with its own 2-hour event.
