Go To

1The Legends try to make sense of when and where they are, and find Dr. Davies is not very cooperative after all. Meanwhile, in 2214, Bishop takes a rebuilt Waverider on its maiden voyage and tries to get revenge on the Legends.
2----
3* AIIsACrapshoot: Bishop restoring Gideon's original programming comes back to bite him, as it was previously established that her directive to uphold the integrity of the timeline outweighs any concern for the well-being of those that threaten it. She kills Assistant Ava and replaces Bishop with a robotic double to live out his life as recorded, while forcing him to remain onboard as her Captain forever.
4* TheBigDamnKiss: Between Nate and Zari, solidifying their relationship, after Nate has come to terms with himself and has decided that, yes, he ''does'' want to move into the Totem with Zari.
5* CategoryTraitor: How Assistant Ava describes Captain Ava.
6* ChekhovsGun:
7** There's no camera in the bathroom, so Gideon can't see anything inside. Bishop later uses the bathroom to escape.
8** Bishop gushing about how Gideon makes all his meals, which comes back to bite him later.
9* CreateYourOwnVillain: While Bishop had a HeelRealization, he still rebuilt the rogue Gideon and gave her the idea of sending robot copies of historical figures to "correct" history.
10* ADayInTheLimelight: A good deal of the runtime is a VillainEpisode for Bishop and the rogue Waverider.
11* DidntThinkThisThrough: Bishop carelessly takes the vow to become a Time Master to get revenge on the Legends. It ends with Gideon 2.0 killing Assistant Ava and forcing him to stay on the Waverider, even replacing Bishop himself with a Robot. She makes it clear to him that he will keep fixing time with her [[FateWorseThanDeath forever]].
12* DoYouWantToCopulate: When Gary and Human Gideon are sharing their experiences of being human, she asks if he would like to have sexual intercourse with her. (He would.)
13* DrowningMySorrows: Bishop, after realizing the gravity of his actions.
14* ExplainExplainOhCrap:
15** When Bishop confronted Gideon about Ava's death, he taunts her about her claim that she sedated him. Then he glances at the drink he had Gideon make for him, and he barely manages an OhCrap before the sedative kicked in.
16** Bishop sends a distress call to AVA Corporation, then learns that the one who picked up the call is...himself. While talking to the second Bishop, the first one realized that Gideon made a robot copy of him, too.
17* FlatWhat: The entire team in unison when Behrad, Zari, and Davies tell them they are in Chernobyl.
18* {{Foreshadowing}}: At the beginning of the episode, as the Legends try to get their bearings and set up camp, they fail to notice a worn-out radiation sign on the ground.
19* FourLinesAllWaiting: The entire regular cast for the season are divvied up into multiple plotlines that the story switches between the entire episode. Behrad, Zari, and Gwyn end up finding out they're in Chernobyl; Astra takes Ava to gather firewood; Spooner takes Sara to hunt for food; Gideon and Gary forage for food after Nate sends them away for trying to discuss his relationship problems with Zari; and Bishop works with Assistant Ava and their copy of Gideon on eliminating the Legends.
20* FutureMeScaresMe: Despite being impulsive and vengeful, Bishop is genuinely horrified when he learns about the evil deeds of his future self.
21* GoneHorriblyRight: Bishop wanted to change Gideon's programming to focus only on her mission. Boy, did he get that in spades...
22* HatesBeingTouched: Gwyn reacts with hostility when Zari first tries to touch him.
23* HeelRealization: Bishop when he discovers the truth about why the Legends abducted him.
24* HeroicBSOD: Gwyn Davies after the Legends are stranded, feeling that he is destined to always fail. Zari and Behrad eventually snap him out of it.
25* IgnoredExpert: Gideon 2.0 is frequently ignored by Bishop in his revenge attempts against the Legends, which ends up making things worse which each attempt.
26* InternalReveal:
27** 2214 Bishop learns the truth about the Legends, and also about his evil future self.
28** Behrad tells Dr. Davies about the gravity of the situation being in 1986 Chernobyl.
29* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When stepping on board the Waverider, Assistant Ava mentions that the control deck could make for a nice conference room, which is what it's used for in most episodes.
30* TheLostLenore: Alun, Dr. Davies's World War I comrade. He was secretly in love with him, and was haunted by his death. He mentions to Zari that Behrad reminds him of Alun.
31* LowerDeckEpisode: Part of the episode is the events of the season from Bishop and the new Waverider's perspective, and shows them trying to "undo" the mess the Legends made.
32* MundaneUtility: Instead of directly using magic to cut trees for firewood, Astra transfigures a piece of wood into an axe and gives it to Ava so she can vent.
33* MyGreatestFailure: Dr. Davies's perceived cowardice during World War I. He and another soldier were tasked to deliver a message, but when the other soldier got shot, he just froze, and by the time he snapped out of it, his entire unit got killed.
34* MyGreatestSecondChance: Saving the people of Chernobyl, at least that's what Dr. Davies believes.
35* OhCrap:
36** Zari and Behrad's reaction after finding out [[UsefulNotes/{{Chernobyl}} when and where they are]].
37** The Legends [[MassOhCrap collectively]] have another when they see a toilet about to land right on top of them.
38* OnceMoreWithClarity: Done to reveal Bishop's involvement in the various attempts on the Legends' lives.
39* TheReveal: It turns out Bishop was the one behind the destruction of the Waverider and the robots.
40* {{Revenge}}: Bishop wants to get revenge against the Legends, until he has his HeelRealization.
41* SenseFreak: Gideon really enjoys the perks of becoming human, like eating and having sex.
42* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Instead of trying to stop the Chernobyl meltdown, Davies gets the word out for everyone to make tracks before it goes haywire, sparing scores of people from death by radiation sickness.
43* ShellShockedVeteran: Dr. Davies was a World War I soldier.
44* ShoutOut:
45** When creating Robot-Hoover, Assistant Ava delightfully exclaims "[[Film/Frankenstein1931 It's alive!]]".
46** Gideon channels [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HAL 9000]] in her callous drive to follow her programming, especially since Bishop apparently couldn't recreate her holographic display and uses a camera instead.
47--->'''Assistant Ava''': Gideon, open this door and let me back in.\
48'''Gideon''': I'm sorry, Ava. I'm afraid I can't do that.\
49'''Ava''': What do you mean you can't do that? Gideon, open this damn door right now.\
50'''Gideon''': This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
51* TemptingFate: After Nate sends Gary and Gideon off with busy work, he mentions that at least they can't do anything to attract the evil Waverider. As if cluing himself into what he said, he then looks up to the sky worriedly. No points for guessing what happens later on.
52* ThinkingOutLoud: Nate, when pondering about his future with Zari. Gary tries to intrude, but gets turned down.
53* ThisIsGonnaSuck: The entire team when they see Bishop landing on their time machine with a toilet.
54* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Gideon ejects Assistant Ava out of the Waverider and into the timestream. Because "One ship, one captain."
55* TomatoInTheMirror: Gideon 2.0 produces a Robot Bishop who takes his place in the timeline, implying that the previous season's BigBad was that drone.
56* VisualPun: Seeing a toilet about to land right on top of them, the Legends literally cry out OhCrap. It even works with the title, which would roughly translate to "God on the toilet."
57* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Behrad and Zari trying to snap Gwyn out of his HeroicBSOD, but he only gets annoyed by it.
58* YouAreNotAlone: Zari tells Gwyn of her own struggles and how the Legends helped her overcome them. This finally encourages him to snap out of his HeroicBSOD.
59* YouRemindMeOfX:
60** Gwyn Davies mentions that Behrad reminds him of Alun.
