Constantine returns from its winter hiatus tonight with episode 9, “The Saint of Last Resorts Pt. 2,” at the all new time of 8 p.m. on NBC.
Previously on ‘Constantine’…
On the last episode of Constantine, John and Chas traveled to Mexico at the behest of Anne-Marie — a former member of the Newcastle Crew and the person responsible for introducing Constantine to the occult scene. Zed remained behind to rest from her angelic possession by Manny the episode before.
There’s a demon stealing babies, and Anne-Marie wants John to put a stop to it and help her save the innocent. John eventually figures out that the same people who have summoned the demon are responsible for the Rising Darkness — La Brujería. Or are they? John summons the demon’s former lover using an amulet to send her back to where she came from. Unfortunately, an invunche takes form in the tunnel, and Anne-Marie shoots Constantine in order to save the child.
While John is left bleeding on the ground, Zed’s past finally catches up with her. She’s injected with a sedative and abducted. Yikes. You can refresh yourself by reading our full recap here.
Tonight when Constantine returns in its new timeslot at 8 p.m. on NBC, we’ll be picking up right where we left off. Will things work out for the best, or has luck run out for both Zed and John?

Zed don’t need no man to rescue her, judging by the stills for this episode, as she appears to be safe and sound next to John and Chas. Well, as safe as she can be with John fighting against a demonic possession — is it just us, or are things not looking so good?

Things really aren’t looking so hot for John judging by the promotional video for the episode, and Manny isn’t impressed with John’s actions in the accompanying clip. We’ll be in for a bumpy ride.
