Christmas is now behind us and the New Year is rung in and as if by magic so our favourite demon-hunter and petty dabbler of the dark arts, John Constantine, returns in tonight’s culmination of the second part of “The Saint of Last Resorts” and we’ve been lucky enough to see the resolution of this two part story-arc. In the last episode, not only did we find out that John Constantine (Matt Ryan) had a weakness and it came in the form of a resilient, take-no-nonsense Nun, called Anne-Marie Flynn (Claire van der Boom), but we also left John Constantine in a very very perilous place. After being shot by Flynn and with the Invulche bearing down on him underneath the monastery. In tonight’s episode we see Constantine left vulnerable with only a single desperate move to make placing him in even greater danger. As his friends come together to save him from the evil within, the Brujería witches, already responsible for the Invulche, unleash another of their weapons to destroy John Constantine. Meanwhile Zed must also rescue herself from overbearing fatherly love, as she tries to escape from her captors who had breached the defences of Constantine’s base (Jasper’s Mill House).
Enjoy tonight’s episode. Remember that with five episodes left to air in season one that you can catch them on NBC at the new time of 8pm EST on Fridays in the USA and Canada and in the UK on Amazon Prime the day after. Constantine, starring Matt Ryan, Angélica Celaya, Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford, returns next Friday, 23rd January, for episode ten “Quid Pro Quo“.
