"Last Refuge" is the twelfth episode of the first season of the American science fiction series Legends of Tomorrow.
The episode features the Legends fight an assassin known as "The Pilgrim" who travels through time trying to kill their younger selves.
In 1990, Central City the Legends protect Mick Rory's younger self managing to barely defeat the Pilgrim.
After they manage to successfully rescue Sara Lance's younger self, Gideon loses track of the Pilgrim, allowing her to take out any of the team members without them knowing.
Rip agrees to give up his younger self from before he became a Time Master, thus preventing the team's formation, in exchange for everyone's safety.
The Legends, the Pilgril, and young Rip meet at an abandoned Time Master base to make the trade.
[4][5] The episode stars Arthur Darvill, Caity Lotz, Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, Victor Garber, Franz Drameh, and Ciara Renée as Rip Hunter, Sara Lance, Leonard Snart, Mick Rory, Ray Palmer, Martin Stein, Jefferson "Jax" Jackson, and Kendra Saunders, respectively.
The website's consensus reads: ""Last Refuge" finally presents the Legends with a formidable adversary, only to immediately disarm her and undermine the entire episode.
[5][9][10] Comic Book Resources's Dan Caffrey felt the main story had a good premise but the episodes subplots were boring.
Caffery noted that the sole exception was Mick's as the audience was familiar with the character allowing the emotional beats to hit properly.
Marnell felt the various subplots were poorly executed; singling out Jax's dad missing out on his birth as the worst.
