Episode four must be the most important episode of all. After coming back to seeing Rick Flag Sr (Frank Grillo) and Princess Ilana (Maria Bakalova) making out, Rick has to leave. Rick has to go and see what Circe knows, and meet up with Amanda Waller (Viola Davis). The princess turns on her charm, and still makes romantic advances toward Rick.Â
SPOILERS AHEAD.

This episode brings a focus onto Weasel (Sean Gunn). His lawyer is looking for him as they make their way to see the captured Circe. It brings up the question that the audience has this entire time. What exactly did Weasel do to go to prison? This is answered during this episode, as Weasel’s lawyer shows him a variety of pictures of children. It flashes back to the children being friendly to Weasel, and giving him food and playing with him. As the episode goes on, it expands exactly what happened with the Weasel and the children.
Meanwhile, Rick Flag Sr., Amanda Waller, and a guest appearance from John Economos (Steve Agee), brings the audience to have Circe (Anya Chalotra) interviewed. Waller wants answers, and Circe admits that she can see the future, and for Waller to come and see herself. Waller complies, and immediately Circe shows her the princess. It reveals a horrifying future of the Justice League members deceased, and the princess was behind it all. Rick doesn’t believe that Circe can see the future, but they verify it by bringing a prestigious doctor that knows about Circe. Now, Waller wants to have the Creature Commandos team to go and kill the princess. Rick opposes and still doesn’t believe Circe, and goes off to defend the princess.
Back to Weasel, he has a flashback playing with the kids. Weasel was being himself, and the kids see an opportunity to break into the back door of the school. When they all get in there, they are looking around at grades and a bottle of liquor in a drawer. I thought that was very different, and I had a question. Why would a teacher have liquor at school? Anyway, there was a passerby who saw Weasel with the children and called the authorities. All of the children got scared, and the liquor bottle broke, and then a fire accidentally started. Weasel and the children are trying to get out of the school, but unfortunately all of them are taking in the fumes. Weasel attempts to save the one little girl that he had been playing with, but was dragged out by the authorities. Meaning, that all the children had died from the fire, but they blamed Weasel. At the end of the episode, Weasel is reunited with the Creature Commandos crew.
I am really wondering what the team will do, once Rick tells them about what Cerce saw. I am also wondering all the different reactions that everyone will have. There is only a few episodes left, so I hope all the other characters are able to be explored.
I give this episode a 8/10.
