First Look: “Emily Dates A Henchman” On February 23 “Powerless”

The February 24 edition of “Powerless” is entitled “Emily Dates A Henchman.”

Its plot? You guessed it – Emily dates a henchman.

“After being urged by her team, Emily (Vanessa Hudgens) sets her sights on the dating world but unknowingly falls for one of the Riddler’s henchmen (guest star Robert Buckley),” says NBC of this week’s episode.

Buckley, notably, stars on another DC Comics series: The CW’s “iZombie.”

Emily’s dating life is not, however, the only focus of this week’s episode.

“Teddy (Danny Pudi) and Ron (Ron Funches) find a Batman artifact and discover Van’s (Alan Tudyk) superhero fantasy,” adds NBC regarding the February 24 “Powerless.”

“Emily Dates A Henchman” airs at 8:30PM ET/PT this Thursday. In advance of the episode, NBC shared first look photos (the episode is coded 107 but will actually be the fourth broadcast):
