After a rocky start, NBC's Powerless delivered a pretty strong episode last week and will hopefully continue their upward swing with another promising installment this Thursday.
With love still in the air, the upcoming episode will delve into Emily's personal life a bit as she embarks on a new relationship, but unfortunately for her, love's not in the cards and she learns that the hard way when she accidentally finds herself dating one of the Riddler's henchmen, played by guest star Robert Buckley (iZombie). Elsewhere, Teddy & Ron think they might have discovered a Batarang and Van spills the beans on his superhero fantasy, which may or may not involve him suiting up as Robin.
