** Season Two has them start backpedaling a bit with Sterling/Lana. They sleep together again, and Sterling comes very, very close to telling her he loves her. Second season in general had a lot of AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moments for Sterling and Lana... and only subverted about half of them.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: For Barry, at least (so far). In the Season 2 finale, the newly created [[spoiler: Cyborg Barry]] gets [[spoiler: tossed off the roof for the third time]] because of Archer. He survives, then says "Yeeeeahhh! 1 for 3 off the roof, B****! (chuckles to self) whoo!" Then throws up the horns sign.
