Kevin Smith makes a more-than-welcomed return in tonight’s episode, which he directed. In case you forgot, Smith directed season 2’s best episode, “The Runaway Dinosaur,” a pathos-filled hour that demonstrated he knew how to nail the show’s earnest tone.

Joe rushes back to the lab to see him while Caitlin questions him about Alchemy’s whereabouts because she wants him to remove her powers. Unfortunately, the police hear the suspect’s screams and come running in. As Caitlin makes her escape, she runs into Julian and kidnaps him.
If it wasn’t clear, Caitlin has gone off the deep end. She threatens to give Julian ………..
