* Scott breaking into 'some old rich guy's house' sets up how excellent his burglary and improvising skills are. The first hitch is a lock that requires a finger print, so he makes a resin from a doorknob and gets by that. The second hitch is trickier: a thick steel door, so he resorts to using ice to make the door explode. Hank wasn't kidding about finding the right guy.

* The final battle between Scott and Cross. The Yellowjacket suit is a military weapon that can kill people from a distance while shrunk and the Ant Man suit has presumably not been updated for a few decades. Scott still maintains a big enough advantage during the fight that only the Yellowjacket's more advanced features let it stay standing.

** Scott's end of that fight is a moment of awesome for himself. [[spoiler: This is a guy who is still limited to the use of the suit, and is his first real operation with using it. Instead of turning around when discovering that the factory is not an abandoned Stark Industries district but something being used by the Avengers, he powers on. During his fight with Sam Wilson, he holds his own incredibly well and infiltrates his wings to stop them from working as well as the enhanced visors Falcon used to track where he is, all while succeeding and getting the device that his original objective said to achieve.]]
