History Recap / LegendsOfTomorrowS4E14NipStuck

* RealityEnsues:
** How does King Konstantyn react when he sees John? Assume he's a shapeshifter and decides to banish him to Hell with the Puca.
** The fact that Nora is from the future makes a mess of her attempt to officially join the Time Bureau, since as far as all the records show, she's still 15 and living in an insane asylum.

* BatmanGambit: Neron takes Constantine to the middle of the Ice Age and tricks him into using his magic, knowing that if he uses it the Legends will use it to track him down, and also knowing they will order the ''Waverider''[='s=] cannons to fire on him. He teleports just in time, trapping the Legends in an avalanche.

* BodyHorror: Gary's nipple turning into a hypnotizing ''eyeball''. Ava, Nora and Mona are all rightfully freaked out.

* MercyKill: How Mick justifies ordering the ''Waverider''[='s=] cannons to fire on Neron -- Ray's gone, so it's best to take Neron out as fast as possible.

** How does King Konstantyn react when he sees John? Assume he's a shapeshifter and decides to banish to Hell with the Puca.

* TheReveal: Tabitha is none other than the Fairy Godmother. And she and Neron are a couple!

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Downplayed: Sara decides that, if the crew is going to die in the avalanche, they'd be better off dying warm, so she has Gideon crank the heat while the others chill out in the galley. As it turns out, this winds up melting the ice ''just enough'' so that the Waverider can break free.

* BatmanGambit: Neron takes Constantine to the middle of the Ice Age and tricks him into using his magic, knowing that if he uses it the Legends will use it to track him down, and also knowing they will order Waverider's cannons to fire on him. He teleports just in time, trapping the Legends in an avalanche.

* LuredIntoATrap: Neron teleports himself and John out of the way when the Waverider fires at them, causing the ship to be buried by an avalanche.
* MercyKill: How Mick justifies ordering the Waverider's cannons to fire on Neron -- Ray's gone, so it's best to take Neron out as fast as possible.

* NeverTellMeTheOdds: Said word for word by Sara after Gideon warns the team of starting the ship with the low power supply left.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[RebelliousSpirit Charlie]], of all people, has to act as the voice of reason to get Sara and Mick to apologise to each other.

-->'''Constantine''': Bloody hell.
* PutTheirHeadsTogether: Wolfie does this to Ava and Nora. It snaps them out of the hypnosis.

* ShoutOut: A ''Franchise/StarWars'' reference from [[Recap/LegendsOfTomorrowS2E9RaidersOfTheLostArt all the way back in season 2]] [[CallBack comes up]] as the Legends play Ray's card game, and the franchise gets two more references by the episode's end: Constantine [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack duels an evil forefather]] [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi in a fight that ends with a severed hand]], while Gideon remarks that odds of escaping from the ice are [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack 3720 to 1]], with Sara responding in [[NeverTellMeTheOdds true Han Solo fashion]].
** The title is one to ''{{Series/NipTuck}}''.

* ThirdLineSomeWaiting: There are 3 seperate plots. The first is about Neron trying to get Constantine to help him free Tabitha, the second one is about Mona trying to foil Gary's takeover of the Time Bureau and the third one is about the rest of the team trying to escape from being trapped under an avalanche.

* WhatTheHellHero: Sara calls Mick and Charlie for being absent from the Waverider when Neron took control of Ray. Mick turns it on her by pointing out ''she'' was also absent from the ship -- in fact she makes frequent shore leaves so why is it wrong that he and Charlie did the same? He also points out how Sara always finds a way to blame everybody else on the team when things so south but never herself. They both eventually apologize to one another.

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: The Legends' (entirely understandable) response to finding out that Tabitha is the Fairy Godmother.

* BodyHorror: Gary's nipple turning into an hypnotizing ''eyeball''. Ava, Nora and Mona are all rightfully freaked out.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: John has met they mysterious Tabitha before and banished her before but he doesn't remember since he's banished so many demons and creatures. Turns it she's the Fairy Godmother of all people.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Mick tries to [[IDidWhatIHadToDo justify himself]], saying that if a member of the team goes bad, they have to bring him down. Ignoring of course the numerous times ''he'' went bad (and without being mind controlled, that is) when the team did not give up on him.
