History Recap / LegendsOfTomorrowS4E10TheGetaway

* CorruptHick: The RV gets pulled over by one, suspecting the Legends of being hippies.

* AbsenteeActor: Ava, who is explained to be on leave following her breakup with Sara.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Neron slowly and agonisingly drains the life from Hank while he begs for mercy.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Nixon decides to be a better person, but history can’t have that, so he gets neuralyzed back to the way he was before the adventure of the Legends. More seriously, Hank tries to break his deal with Neron and gets the life sucked out of him for his trouble.

* MistakenForMurderer: Nate finds Nora hovering over Hank's dead body, not realising that she did her best to save him.

%%* PoorCommunicationKills: Nora-doll, “I didn’t murder your pa, you want the demon I’ve been sensing” isn’t that hard to say.
%%** It isn't hard to say but hard to believe. Nate doesn't trust Nora like Ray does and saying that a demon that no one knows about did it is not something that will be believed right away. Also, Nora knows that some of the agents are working for Neron.

* StringTheory: Parodied; Gary tries to make a diagram of suspicious activity Hank's involved in, but ends up with a lot of totally random and irrelevant details from Hank's life, getting nowhere, accidentally knitting a scarf, realising he's in over his head, and going to Nora for help.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Subverted and PlayedForLaughs twice; Sara and Ray realise, first when they're on the road, and again when all is said and done, that they forgot Charlie at the Watergate. The first time, there's a cut to Charlie pacing in Nixon's hotel room, angrily muttering about her friends leaving her behind.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: No one knows it (yet), but Nora screamed for help and forcibly broke out of her cell in the hopes of saving Hank from Neron; any lingering doubts the audience might have about her HeelFaceTurn are certainly gone.

* BrutalHonesty: deconstructed. The Legends have to stop Nixon from being honest to avoid a breakdown of the international order since his refusal to lie blew up diplomacy. He swallowed a roach belonging to the Egyptian Goddess of Truth, which throughout the rest of the episode continues to make people spill their (sometimes hilarious, sometimes serious) secrets.
