7 ‘Supernatural’ References in ‘Legends of Tomorrow’s ‘Zari, Not Zari’
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Season 5, Episode 9 of Legends of Tomorrow, “Zari, Not Zari.”]
The Arrowverse just added to its list of crossovers — sort of. In Tuesday’s episode of Legends of Tomorrow, Constantine (Matt Ryan) headed to British Columbia to track down the next piece of the Loom and stumbled across … the world of Supernatural?
Though the hour itself ended up being quite heartbreaking for the team — they lost one of their own, Behrad (Shayan Sobhian) — there were a few nods to the long-running CW drama while Sara (Caity Lotz) and Charlie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) joined Constantine on his search.

Legends of Tomorrow, Tuesdays, 9/8c, The CW
The fatal result of seeing a being's true form
On Legends of Tomorrow, anyone who saw Charlie’s sister’s true form was killed — burned from the inside. Over on Supernatural, most can’t survive seeing angels’ true forms. (Pamela’s eyes were burned out.) There are exceptions, just like Sara seemingly was one since she survived.
The location of the next piece of the Loom
Constantine’s quest took him to British Columbia; Supernatural films in Vancouver. In fact …
Supernatural the show exists in the Arrowverse.
Sara found a filming notice for the show on a tree and revealed she’s a fan. “It’s this show about these two hot brothers who fight demons,” she explained to Charlie. “I wonder if the Winchester brothers are here!”
And the series has been on just as long inside the Arrowverse as it has on the CW. When they found the Supernatural crew dead, Sara worried, “who’s shooting Season 15?”
Sara has a favorite Winchester brother.
“I wonder if the Winchester brothers are here!” she exclaimed to Charlie before revealing, “Dean’s my hall pass.”
Glowing necklace
Constantine was following a glowing necklace to the location of the next piece of the loom. On Supernatural, the amulet Sam gave Dean glowed when God was nearby.
Baby!
As had been revealed in the photos, the Legends came across a replica of the Impala. Inside the trunk were sigils and a prop body.
Weapons
Sara grabbed the bag of weapons from the Impala — “we need these more than Sam and Dean” — and pulled a few out in the fight against Charlie’s sister.
Also, Atropos’ blades looked a bit similar to Supernatural‘s angel blades.
