      Plot


      Charlie reveals she gave the last Loom fragment to the Enchantress, who made it extremely difficult to find. John Constantine tries using everyone's energy to summon the fragment, but Sara faints; forcing him and Zari to travel to the United Kingdom in 1918, where they discover Constantine's house used to be a boarding house. They check-in, only to find several Encores have beaten them there. After disguising themselves as Jack the Ripper and Cleopatra, they discover Charlie's second sister, Lachesis, sent the Encores for the same purpose as them. Though their deception is discovered, Constantine and Zari successfully destroy the Encores, recover their Hell weapons, and get the Ring from the housekeeper; who unbeknownst to Zari, was the Enchantress. Meanwhile, Ava Sharpe, Gary Green, and Mick Rory go to Hell to confront Astra Logue and learn why she sent her Encores, only for Astra to discover that Lachesis and Atropos stole her soul coins to get the Loom for themselves, though they offer to give her Charlie's place. Astra accepts to get Constantine's coin back, but secretly joins the Legends to ensure that her fate is changed for the better.
