History Recap / LegendsOfTomorrowS6E14ThereWillBeBrood

* TheReveal: Spooner was never abducted from Earth, by Bishop or any of his proxies. She ran away when a mob of men who wanted her land killed her mother, in Frontier times, and was taken in by the Fountain of Imperium. The Fountain itself is revealed to not be a literal fountain of water, but is actually ''all'' mushrooms on Earth, which are an alien species, who were placed there to protect it from alien threats. The reason Spooner could connect with the last child empowered by them is because she was empowered herself.

John and Bishop steal the Waverider and travel back to 1925 Texas to find the Fountain of Imperium. Spooner and Astra, who were on board the Waverider when it was taken, attempt to stop the two when they find the truth of Spooner's origin. Meanwhile, Sara and the others try to contact Kayla to take them to the past while Bishop reveals his plans.

* ActuallyADoombot: John leaves an astral projection of himself in his house as a distraction to give Bishop time to hijack the Waverider.
* AlienInvasion: Bishop's EvilPlan - to destroy the Fountain so Earth can be taken over by hostile alien forces.
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Bishop hijacks the Waverider, and shuts Gideon down. Without Gideon, Astra and Spooner (who were still onboard) couldn't use the Waverider to return to the present.
* TheBadGuyWins: Bishop poisons John, and destroys the Fountain that was protecting Earth from any invaders.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: [[ExaggeratedTrope To the nth degree]]. It turns out that in the Earth-Prime Series/{{Arrowverse}} the entire fungi kingdom of life are actually an alien species, planted on Earth to safeguard it against alien threats, imbuing [[ChildrenAreInnocent children]] with powerful magic to do so.

* CliffHanger: John is betrayed by Bishop and dies, along with the Fountain, which means that Earth is now in open to AlienInvasion. And Mick is caught in an explosion on the Waverider while trying to save his children.
* ContinuityNod: To hide from Bishop and Constantine, Astra turns both Spooner and herself into inanimate objects; Astra is a snowglobe, while Spooner is a fork [[Recap/LegendsOfTomorrowS6E5TheSatanistsApprentice again]].

* HopeSpot: It looked like John is finally getting his magic back, then Bishop reveals that it was actually poison he was feeling.
* IdiotBall: The rest of the Legends get stranded in the present when the Waverider is hijacked, because nobody thought to bring a time courier along. Lampshaded when Nate wonders why they ever go anywhere without one.

** Bishop gloating to John that he is collateral damage. Also, he leaves a bomb on the Waverider in the same room as Mick's children.

* OutOfFocus: Only Spooner, Astra and Constantine are given significant spotlight. With the Waverider stolen (again), the rest of the Legends are stranded in the present for most of the episode.

* SoProudOfYou: In his dying breath, Constantine tells Astra "You're my greatest failure...and my biggest accomplishment." He also tells her that Natalie would have felt the same way.
* StealthPun: As noted above the Fountain of Imperium is a literal magic mushroom.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: John points out how he never really felt like he truly belonged to the Legends.

* TheWorldTree: The real Fountain of Imperium is a towering mushroom planted by BenevolentPrecursors that acts as a barrier to protect Earth from more hostile aliens.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Everyone, especially Astra and Zari, does this with John. It doesn't work.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: John's addiction ends in a bad way, in this case death.

* TheIKnowYoureStillInThereFight: Everyone, especially Astra and Zari, does this with John. It doesn't work.
