DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” is a show that throws out the rules when it comes to television, and anything can happen at any time. Things got pretty crazy in season 2, and it looks like things are only going to get crazier in season 3. Producer Phil Klemmer recently noted that each episode will be like a standalone movie, which is why it seems appropriate that the latest episode title is “Phone Home” which will be the 4th episode of the season.

“Phone Home” is an obvious reference to “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial” and executive producer Marc Guggenheim confirmed as much when asked about the reference by a fan.
Nope.

Does this mean we’ll be seeing aliens in the episode? It certainly wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen aliens on “Legends” so expect the unexpected at all times.
DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” will return for season 3 on Tuesday, October 10.
After the defeat of Eobard Thawne and his equally nefarious Legion of Doom, the Legends face a new threat created by their actions at the end of last season. In revisiting a moment in time that they had already participated in, they have essentially fractured the timeline and created anachronisms – a scattering of people, animals, and objects all across time! Our team must find a way to return all the anachronisms to their original timelines before the time stream falls apart. But before our Legends can jump back into action, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and his newly established Time Bureau call their methods into question.
With the Time Bureau effectively the new sheriffs in town, the Legends disband – until Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) discovers one of them in the middle of his well-deserved vacation in Aruba. Seeing this as an opportunity to continue their time traveling heroics, Sara (Caity Lotz) wastes no time in getting the Legends back together. We reunite with billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), the unconventional historian-turned-superhero Nick Heywood (Nick Zano), and Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm.
Once reunited, the Legends will challenge the Time Bureau’s authority over the timeline and insist that however messy their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Bureau’s capabilities. Some problems can only be fixed by Legends.
