The Magnificent Eight
- In an effort to hide from the Time Masters and their servants (the Manhunters), Rip and the gang head to the Wild West in the 19th century
- Rip wants the group to lay low but of course the group balks at that and go into town anyway; a town named Salvation
- Story A: Ray, using the name John Wayne, becomes the sheriff and has to take on the Stillwater Gang with some help from Lenard, Mick, Rip, and Jonah Hex as well as Shayera and White Canary and Firestorm (at the end); they beat the gang but then the Manhunters show up and they beat them too
- Story B: Shayera and Kate go on a trip to find an older woman who Shayera thinks she knows; it turns out to be herself in a previous life; she warns herself about trying to love anyone but Carter and also learns of a bracelet that she previously did not recall wearing at the time of her first death in ancient Egypt
- Story C: Dr. Stein helps helps to cure a boy of tuberculosis, despite warnings from Rip about meddling with the time stream; in the end he learns the boy's full name is Herbert George Wells
- Hex uses the same line he used in JLU about it not being his first time meeting time travelers; it turns out he and Rip have met before in a town called Calvert, OK
- much in the way of cliched moments but on the whole it was a pretty good episode
- I was hoping Shayera's earlier self would join the battle at the end against the Manhunters, but she did not show
- At the end they learn that the Time Masters have issued Omega Level orders to destroy the team, which means they will be sending an assassin after their young selves
