Chris joins Derek this week to chat all about the penultimate episode of Lanterns Episode 7 The Jordan Boys' Legacy an intimate and galaxy spanning episode that we discuss in full spoiler filled detail.
Lanterns Episode 7 The Jordan Boys' Legacy Synopsis
Episode Written by: Tom King and Damon Lindeloff
Episode Directed By: Alik Sakharov
In 1975, a young Hal Jordan is punished by his baseball coach for not being a team player. This sets up the habit of a lifetime as Hal won't give up the game ball to the kid chosen to replace him. His father, Martin, is proud of Hal and gives him a key to a "family fail-safe" shortly before he died in a plane crash.
In 2026, the Hal-o-gram refuses to cooperate with John Stewart to help solve the suspected murder of Hal Jordan and forces him to meet with Sheriff Kerry Kane to verify his claims.
Afterwards, the Hal-o-gram suspects foul play from Kerry and insists John check out Hal's storage without her.
Upon opening Hal's vault, they find a portal that leads to another planet, which John recognises as Antaan's home world.
They travel toward an island in the middle of a lake, but John experiences a hallucination created by remnants of a fear-inducing gas within the rain clouds. As visions of his father and his younger self accuse him of being afraid, John points a gun at his own head.
The Hal-o-gram saves John by pushing him into the water. He tells John the story about Hal Jordan's family fail-safe and that both his father and grandfather took their own lives. This is Hal's family legacy, leading John to suspect Hal may have killed himself.
Arriving at the island, John and the Hal-o-gram enter a structure at the centre and overpower Sinestro who tries to attack them to escape the planet.
