History Recap / LegendsOfTomorrowS6E10BadBlood

* CallBack: Captain Noriega mentions the Spear of Destiny and the Loom of Fate.

* {{Spexico}}: Nobody from Spain would believe that's Albacete or that El Gato is an Spaniard from 1939. And the shout would not be "!Viva la Revolución!" but "¡Viva la República!". Franco and most of the army were the ones who rebelled against the legitimate government, so its defenders would never hail the "Revolution" that has just managed to bring it down.
* UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar: The setting of this episode (for the John/Spooner plot).

It´s Franco and most of the army who rebelled against the legitimate government so its defenders would never hail the "Revolution" that has just managed to bring it down.

* BluffTheImposter: Invoked when John claims to have fought in the Spanish Civil War. When the bar owner presses on how he cleaned his rifle, John (no doubt using stories from history books) is able to bring up how he had to use olive oil on an antiqued weapon and other details like the huge lice there to convince the bar owner they were on the same side.

* TheReveal: Spooner is Catholic.

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Transferring Fernando's magic to John fails, as "Only those whom are worthy may drink from this fountain."
* OutOfFocus:

* ItsAllAboutMe: While John does have some sympathetic reasons for wanting his magic back, overall he acts awfully selfish throughout the episode. In the end, he goes so far as to brainwash Spooner to keep his secret of using Vampire blood.

* MotiveRant: John has one towards Spooner on why he needs his magic, telling her about experiencing racism, being called a degenerate for being bi and being abused by his father. He needs his magic to break the rules and stick it to the rich and the powerful.

* MythologyGag: After Constantine laments that his soul is, again, damned, Spooner quips that he sounds an awful lot like a Catholic for someone who hates church. While Constantine is usually portrayed (as here) as a NayTheist, there has been [[Film/{{Constantine}} one incarnation]] of him who ''was'' a Catholic.

* ActionGirl: The barmaid helps John shooting up the fascists.

* AllForNothing: John's journey to find the Fountain of Imperium becomes this. Played with, since he still gets his magic back, but from vampire blood.

* BerserkButton: Rory gets pissed whenever someone tells him he's gotten pregnant.

* TheBusCameBack: Allister Crowley, still trapped in the painting, comes back.

* ChekhovsGun: The Lullaby which Gary, Nate and Behrad sing to Gus-Gus in the beginning and which annoys Spooner later gets cited by the latter in order to have an incantation to transfer Fernando's magic to John.

* ContrivedCoincidence: The first bar John and Spooner head into to find info on El Gato has the man himself waiting inside, even if they don't find out the exact truth until later.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The vampire blood is basically steroids for magic, complete with both John and Allister referring to it as "juicing."
* FakeUltimateHero: {{Downplayed}}, while El Gato is a quite badass revolutionary, he doesn't have any magical powers - it's his nephew Fernando that has them.

* ILied: Lita fakes going into labour to trick Mick into going to the Med Bay, since ''he'' could've gone into labour.

** Mick tells Lita that he left Kayla to sacrifice herself on the alien planet a few episodes ago.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything?: The vampire blood is basically steroids for magic, complete with both John and Allister referring to it as "juicing."

* FemmeFatale: Noelle, the vampiresse.

* ShoutOut: Spooner makes reference to ''Film/Alien''.

* UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar: The setting of this episode (forthe John/Spooner plot).

* ItsAllAboutMe: While John does have some sympathetic reasons for wanting his magic back, overall he acts awfully selfish throughout the episode.

* InternalReveal: Mick tells Lita that he left Kayla to sacrifice herself on the alien planet a few episodes ago.

John and Spooner travel to 1935 Spain to obtain the Fountain of Imperium and get John's magic back. Mick has a hard time dealing with being pregnant and connecting with Lita. And the rest of the Legends, save Sara and Ava as they're off preparing for their wedding, have to deal with Gus Gus becoming giant and dangerous.

* ContinuityNod: When Spooner tells Fernando that superheroes are coming, he mentions the Justice Society of America.

* AcidTripSequence: When John drinks from the blood bottle, the background becomes warped and full of neon colors.

* TheBusComesBack: Allister Crowley, still trapped in the painting, comes back.

* AbsenteeActor: Sara and Ava aren't in the episode, Zari 1.0 explains they are searching for perfect wedding spots.
* AllForNothing: John's journey to find the Fountain of Imperium becomes this.
