‘Legends Of Tomorrow’: Amy Pemberton To Appear As Gideon In Upcoming Episode

Gideon will appear in the flesh for the second time in an upcoming Season 3 episode of CW’s “Legends of Tomorrow.”

Amy Pemberton, who also voices the Waverider’s A.I., recently revealed that the episode will see most of the Legends “kind of frozen,” leading her character to interact with Zari (Tala Ashe). “This whole thing is very much about Zari and her learning her place within the team,” Pemberton said (via ComicBook.com). “Gideon has manifested herself to help her figure out where she fits in with the team.”

While Gideon will be lending Zari a hand in the episode, Pemberton revealed that her character actually has a rocky relationship with the Legends’ latest recruit.

As fans know, Gideon first appeared in her human form in Season 2, episode 13. In the episode, the Legends brought Rip (Arthur Darvill) back to the Waverider after his mind was altered by the Legion of Doom. But upon boarding the ship, Rip used an override code to trigger a self-destruct on the ship through Gideon. After crashing, Gideon and Mick (Dominic Purcell) suggested going into Rip’s mind in order to bring his old self back.

Sara (Caity Lotz) and Jax (Franz Drameh) entered Rip’s mind and met Gideon in her human form inside. Gideon helped the pair find Rip, and when they did, Gideon made Rip remember who he really is. But before Rip could go back to the physical world, the two shared an unforgettable kiss. Rip later apologized for overriding Gideon. She then told Rip that she remembered the kiss and that it was nice.

“We’ve always played that love story from the start; she’s always been in love with [Rip],” Pemberton said of Gideon. “That’s why the on-camera episode was so fun, when they had the kiss from everything. To have to step back from that, she adores him. I know there’s a lot going on with how he acted last time, but she’s in love with him, I think. She always will be.”
