* Dorothy figuring out Amazi-Girl's identity just by putting the evidence together is relatively impressive considering that so few others in canon saw through the ClarkKenting (Amber's roommate Dina may be the only other one to figure it out without unmasking her). The real CMOA, though, is when she decides not to expose Amber after all, and [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/03-up-all-night-to-get-vengeance/rails/ her explanation is funny and a bit heartwarming to boot]].

What she ultimately does with that information [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/03-up-all-night-to-get-vengeance/rails/ and how she explains it to Amber]] is even better.

* Sal and Marcie are friends, but Malaya is apparently TheFriendNobodyLikes and Carla has only just met them. This doesn't stop them from [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/03-up-all-night-to-get-vengeance/curbstompings/ dog-piling the threatening lady in the costume]] together. Sal then chooses to just walk away, derailing whatever confrontation Amber had in mind (well, in theory).

** Bonus points for it being based in her Christianity, rather than in defiance of it.
-->'''Joyce''': Jesus says to love your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27. That's "everyone". Not just people we like. Not everyone except the Samaritans. "Everyone." And so I will not act like—like a "jerk" to my best friend and her family. Anyway, that's what the Son of God says. "He" is my higher authority, my moral foundation. Not you.\\
