Plot
 | This article needs an improved plot summary. |
At John Constantine's manor, Astra Logue struggles with everyday chores and her neighbor, Robert Truss, and is ignored by Constantine. Astra finds Aleister Crowley, an occultist trapped in a painting who offers to teach her magic intending to find the Fountain of Imperium, a source of alien magic. During an argument with Constantine, Astra gives Crowley control of his body. When the Legends arrive at the manor, Astra transforms them into household objects, and when Astra tries to stop Crowley from usurping Truss's and the Legends' souls, he betrays her and transforms everyone into cartoon characters. Astra uses a spell created by her mother Natalie to remove all magic, which re-traps Crowley and restores everyone to their bodies, but also depowers everyone of their magic, including Constantine, prompting him and Astra to begin anew. Meanwhile, Sara Lance meets Bishop, her kidnapper and creator of all Ava clones. After healing Sara, Bishop claims that human greed doomed Earth and intends to restart humanity using alien DNA, wanting Sara to teach them strength. Sara is betrayed by a deceitful Ava clone, inadvertently leading Bishop to her ship, who reveals that the pods collected its inhabitants' DNA. Sara kills Bishop, but she is knocked out only to meet him again back at his lair.

Critical reception
Writing for Screen Rant, Bruno Savill De Jong wrote, "This is the outlandish, anything-goes storytelling that Legends of Tomorrow revels in". He praised the 2D animation for its "softness" and "fluidity", adding the episode "advances the main plot but mostly allows a character-focused episode on Astra". Though he criticized the episode for certain predictable plot details, "they still land, and the accompanying ambitious flourishes of the episode make “The Satanist’s Apprentice” a highpoint of an already solid season."[9] Allison Shoemaker of The A.V. Club rated the episode A-, saying "the show’s always-game cast manage to make the wildly disparate elements blend and fuse in a way that’s both disorienting and incredibly satisfying".[10] Michael Patterson of Bam Smack Pow gave the episode a B rating, saying, "Legends of Tomorrow‘s part-animated adventure may suffer from a somewhat predictable plot but the execution will still bring a smile to your face".[11]
