History Recap / LegendsOfTomorrowS6E5TheSatanistsApprentice

* ArtShift: A portion of the episode is animated, after Astra gets turned into a cartoon princess, along with the entire house.

* BalefulPolymorph: Astra transforms the Legends into various [[AnimateInanimateObject objects]]: Ava a binder, Behrad a candlestick, Spooner a fork, Zari a cellphone and Nate a slab of cheese. They are actually still sentient and far from helpless (Nate for one can still steel up).

-->Zari: Am I a flip phone?!

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Crowley points this out to Astra in regards to herself, though she is quick to give it back to him.

* ShoutOut: The entire animated sequence is one to Creator/{{Disney}} and their numerous animated features. The fact Astra turns the Legends into {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s homages ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', with their animated appearance homaging the original film, while their looks in live action homaging the [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 live-action remake]]. For added measure, Behrad is turned into a talking candle, not quite a candelabra like Lumiere, but close enough.

** Later, the Legends do this when they learn that she is planning on killing someone to gain power to make her life easier.

* AbsenteeActor: Mick, Gary and Gideon aren't in this episode.

* PlotHole: Constatine's final spell destroys any magic in the mansion, robbing both Astra and John of their powers. However, both Behrad and Zari are also in the mansion, but from all indication, their Totems were unaffected. Nobody thinks about why that is.

* AssholeVictim: Astra's reason for intending to use her neighbor Robert Truss as a sacrifice for Crowley's ritual is that he's an elitist and racist.

* TwoLinesNoWaiting: Due to the two timeframes being used, the plot thread for Sara (which happens basically lineally and in the present) doesn't intersect with Astra'
s (which has time skips and partially happened in the past).

* WhamEpisode: John sacifices his powers to save everyone and Sara learns that Bishop's plan is to recreate the human race using alien DNA to save Earth.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Not only did Crowley not kill Astra when he had the chance, but he trapped her in the attic...right where Constantine's canvas is placed.

** Astra basically grew up in Hell, where she had to manipulate and control people to get what she wanted. Once topside, those skills don't translate well for her. Therefore, she is now struggling on Earth, where she has to get a job and pay for groceries and the electric bill and cab fare, things which she has no experience doing.

* RealityEnsues:
** Though Astra is in a grown-up body, in 2020/2021 her records show her to only be 15. As such, she has no property to herself, no money, and, thanks to child labor laws, is unable to apply for a proper job.
** Constatine is constantly traveling and on the move, thus never bothers with upkeep on his mansion. As such, the bills don't get paid and the plumbing ends up breaking down due to neglect.

** Astra runs into an old man who is racist and doesn't believe she lives in Constantine's house.

** John's body is being possessed by Crowley when Astra uses her mother's magic cleansing spell on him. Now, John has no magic left and has to start over.

* JerkassBall: In order to episode's plot to work, it was necessary for John Constantine to be completely neglectful and dismissive, ignoring all of Astra's needs to the point where she'd finally turn to Crowley for lessons.

* PowerAtAPrice: The soul of a living being, in Ava's case. She almost goes through with it by killing her neighbour Robert Truss, but decides against it at the last second, only for Crowley to kill him himself.
* PowerHigh: Astra get's a taste for magic quite quickly, wanting to become more powerful, no matter the price.
