|ShortSummary = The Legends and the Time Bureau celebrate a job well done, while Zari chastises Ray for allowing Nora Darhk to escape. Ava and Sara rekindle their relationship. Constantine tries to warn Sara about the darkness coming, but Sara dismisses him. The Legends end up at Woodstock, where they see a unicorn impale a woman and eat her heart. It then releases magical goo at every Legend minus Sara, making them hallucinate. Realizing he was right, Sara locates Constantine and informs him of the situation. Constantine cures the affected Legends and sends the unicorn to Hell with a spell, using Gary, who loses a nipple in the process, as bait. Meanwhile, Nate and Rory go on an adventure, leading to Nate attempting to reconnect with his distant father Hank. Back at his accommodations, Constantine experiences a dark form of magic throwing him about the place before it writes in blood that it is coming for him.

|ShortSummary = The Legends wire up the magical detection bones into the Waverider to allow them to track magical fugitives. Constantine joins the Legends as a magical consultant, with their first mission leading them to the Salem Witch Trials. When an innocent woman is accused of witchcraft, her daughter's Fairy Godmother attacks the townsfolk. Zari fights to save the mother, who was executed in the original timeline, while Constantine and the Legends try to separate the daughter and the Fairy Godmother so Constantine can banish her to Hell. However, the Fairy Godmother turns Ray and Mick into pigs and seals Constantine's mouth shut but, when the daughter releases her, the Legends return to normal. Constantine offers the Fairy Godmother the chance to avoid Hell by becoming her new magical conduit, but she refuses, stating that she knows who is after Constantine and would rather go to Hell than anger him. Nate discovers his father is overseeing the committee that funds the Time Bureau and struggles to prove that magic is real to keep the Bureau funded. He is able to do so when Ray turns back to normal in his arms. Ava offers Nate a place at the Bureau and he accepts.

|ShortSummary = The team tracks another magical fugitive to London, where a new punk rock band called "The Smell" is favored by the Queen. Constantine hypothesizes that the fugitive is a leprechaun and is posing as a member of the band. The team attempts to scope out the band, with Ray earning their trust by stealing one of the Queen's prized corgis, and discovers that, instead of a leprechaun, the fugitive turns out to be a shapeshifter and the band's lead singer, Charlie. Fearing imprisonment, Charlie knocks Ray unconscious (despite him preparing to defend her) and steals his A.T.O.M. suit, using it to try and kill Sara, Zari, Mick, and Constantine when they attempt to catch her and banish her to Hell. Eventually, Ray wakes up and saves the group by deactivating his suit via voice command, leading to Charlie's capture. However as Constantine attempts to banish her, she shapeshifts to resemble each of them, ending with Amaya; she calls them out for not acting like heroes, instilling a sense of sympathy in Zari. Out of annoyance, Constantine casts a spell that renders Charlie unable to shapeshift ever again, leaving her trapped in Amaya's form. They decide to keep her as prisoner on board the Waverider.

Another attempt to fix this sees Mick bond with the Fairy Godmother to begin a new criminal career while Sara, Ray, and Nate are now the "Puppets of Tomorrow."

|ShortSummary = Neron and Tabitha cause mass panic by turning Charlie into Tagumo in public. The Legends save Charlie, who reveals that Neron wants to unleash Hell on Earth by opening a portal powered by fear. Meanwhile, Nora saves Constantine and they recover Ray's soul from the "Soul Exchange" with Astra's help. They return to Earth, but Ray is stuck until Neron leaves his body. Seeing how popular her dragon has made young Zari inspires the Legends to open Heyworld, Hank's theme park. Neron and Tabitha crash the opening and, when Tabitha is eaten by Zari's dragon, Neron uses the crowd's fear to open the portal. Constantine and Nate trick Neron into killing Nate, therefore breaking his word to Ray. Neron is ejected from Ray's body and killed by Constantine, who then closes the portal and revives Ray.

However, Keto Shimizu ultimately replaced Guggenheim as co-showrunner, to serve alongside Klemmer for this season.

Tala Ashe, who joined the series as Zari Tomaz during the third season, said the fourth season would further explore the character's backstory, in addition to the prejudice and xenophobia experienced by her.{{Cite web |url=https://comicbook.com/dc/2018/08/09/legends-of-tomorrow-tala-ashe-zari-guard-down-season-4-/ |title='Legends of Tomorrow': Tala Ashe Says Zari Lets Her Guard Down in Season 4 |last=Drum |first=Nicole |date=August 9, 2018 |website=ComicBook.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180809071457/http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/08/09/legends-of-tomorrow-tala-ashe-zari-guard-down-season-4-/|archive-date=August 9, 2018|url-status=live|access-date=August 10, 2018}} Courtney Ford, who recurred in the third season as Damien Darhk's daughter Nora, hoped the fourth season would explore what the character is without the influence of her father and Mallus.{{Cite web |url=https://comicbook.com/dc/2018/08/09/legends-of-tomorrow-courtney-ford-season-4-interview/ |title='Legends of Tomorrow': Courtney Ford on How Nora Will Evolve Without Damien Darhk |last=Burlingame |first=Russ |date=August 8, 2018 |website=ComicBook.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180809063006/http://comicbook.com/dc/2018/08/09/legends-of-tomorrow-courtney-ford-season-4-interview/|archive-date=August 9, 2018|url-status=live|access-date=August 10, 2018}} Klemmer compared Neron, the season's Big Bad, to technology entrepreneur Elon Musk, calling him a "disruptor" in Hell, similar to how Musk affected transportation with Tesla electric cars.{{Cite web |url=https://tvline.com/2019/03/28/big-bang-theory-sheldon-amy-nobel-prize-season-12-spoilers/ |title=Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on Big Bang, Grey's, Hawaii Five-0, Gotham, Legends, Walking Dead, Jane the Virgin and More! |last=Ausiello |first=Michael |date=March 28, 2019 |website=TVLine |access-date=April 2, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402072038/https://tvline.com/2019/03/28/big-bang-theory-sheldon-amy-nobel-prize-season-12-spoilers/ |archive-date=April 2, 2019 |url-status=live }} Originally, the character of Hank Heywood was designed as the Big Bad of the season, however, when the writers saw Tom Wilson's performance and got to know him as a person, the character was rewritten as more sympathetic and likable. The original plan of turning Nate Heywood into a more sinister character because of his father was also abandoned in favor of a plotline where Hank is turned instead.{{cite web |url=https://tvline.com/2019/04/01/legends-of-tomorrow-season-4-sara-ava-conflict-trip-to-hell/ |title=Legends of Tomorrow Boss Opens Up About Season 4's Big Bad Switcheroo, Teases Visit to a 'Stodgy' Hell |website=TVLine |last=Mitovich |first=Matt Webb |date=April 1, 2019 |access-date=April 16, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401173657/https://tvline.com/2019/04/01/legends-of-tomorrow-season-4-sara-ava-conflict-trip-to-hell/ |archive-date=April 1, 2019 |url-status=live }}
