Batwoman Season 2 E17 Preview: Ryan Has Serious Kate Kane Concerns

Heading into tonight's episode of The CW's Batwoman, everyone seems pretty excited about the prospect of having "Kate Kane" (Wallis Day) back- in spite of the bad situations that Jacob (Dougray Scott) and Alice (Rachel Skarsten) find themselves in. Well, almost everyone- as you're about to see in the following preview for "Kane, Kate." As much as Luke (Camrus Johnson) believes in "Kate" and her resiliency in facing down any challenge, Ryan (Javicia Leslie) urges him and the others to take it slow, that there's so much going on with "Kate" that they don't know about. But is her concern solely focused on what's best for "Team Batwoman"? Or does Ryan fear being abandoned by a "family" she's just begun bonding with?

Here's a sneak preview for Sunday night's episode of The CW's Batwoman, "Kane, Kate" (doesn't that title read more like a case file or patient listing?):

Batwoman Season 2, Episode 17 "Kane, Kate": A VILLAINOUS PLOT – Batwoman (Javicia Leslie) struggles as Black Mask (guest star Peter Outerbridge) continues to raise the stakes with Circe (guest star Wallis Day) as his henchwoman. Alice (Rachel Skarsten) and Safiyah (guest star Shivaani Ghai) cross paths once again. Also starring Dougray Scott, Meagan Tandy, Nicole Kang, and Camrus Johnson. Carl Seaton directed the episode written by Chad Fiveash and James Stoteraux.

In season two of Batwoman, when Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) first discovers Kate Kane's Batsuit, she has no idea how drastically her life is about to change. A sassy, smart lesbian with a difficult past, Ryan sees the suit as her chance to finally be powerful and no longer a victim as she survives in the tough streets of the city.

While Ryan goes rogue in the shadows, Gotham grapples with their missing hero, believing Batwoman has fled the city after a public stand-off with Commander Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) and the Crows. But Kate Kane's disappearance hits hardest at home as Jacob, Sophie (Meagan Tandy), Luke (Camrus Johnson), Mary (Nicole Kang), and even Alice (Rachel Skarsten) each struggle with the devastating news in their own way. Meanwhile, the False Face Society tightens its grip on Gotham, distributing a perilous new drug known as Snakebite, "Bruce Wayne" (Warren Christie) finds his way home to wreak havoc, Safiyah (Shivaani Ghai) surfaces with plans for revenge, and a new set of villains descends on the city.

It's not long before Ryan realizes how much the symbol on the suit means to Gotham, launching her on a personal journey that takes her from fledgling substitute to confident caped crusader, from living in her van with her plant to chasing villains in the Batmobile. Ryan Wilder becomes a very different Batwoman than Kate Kane – her own Batwoman – but with the same understanding of what it means to be a hero.

Based on the characters from DC, Batwoman stems from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. TV with executive producers Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl), Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries, Smallville), Geoff Johns (Arrow, The Flash, Titans), Chad Fiveash (The Vampire Diaries, Gotham), James Patrick Stoteraux (The Vampire Diaries, Gotham) and Sarah Schechter (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl). Shivani Ghai (Dominion, The Catch), Leah Gibson (Jessica Jones), Nathan Owens (Devious Maids), and Alex Morf (Gotham) join the second season's cast.
