** The entire climatic fight sequence is a showcase in escalating awesome. First Sara and Oliver show up to save Conner, leading to Connor and Oliver taking turns fighting Grant, followed by Ray and Kendra flying in backup, and then the rest of the team arriving to do a PowerWalk through the crowd of criminals, ''[[CurbStompBattle obliterating]]'' anyone who gets close and sending the rest [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere running for the hills]].

* Jackson and Amaya witness a slave about to [[DisproportionateRetribution be whipped for ironing her master's clothes wrong.]] Jax convinces Amaya that stopping it would risk altering history. Later, he gets captured and locked in the barn alongside the other disobedient slaves. He ends up deciding that [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil it is worth the risk.]] Amaya finds the captives by tricking their handler before kicking his ass (speaking of which, the ''look'' on her face when he starts talking to her after she sneaks into the house is glorious) and then frees them. But Jax isn't done, he still has to find the [[MacGuffin papers.]] So he returns to the plantation house overrun by Confederate zombies. Inside, he offers the slave owner what seems like a chance at redemption, which he turns down. Jax rightly leaves the bastard to his fate, then burns the bodies with a lantern's fire. On his way out, Jax stops Amaya and the others. He insists on taking a moment to enjoy watching this hated symbol of his people's oppression burn to the ground. Then they can go. The swelling music and look in his eyes of understanding, subdued anger, but also triumph/acceptance that he did the right thing regardless what the consequences might be are all what really sells it.

* Snart dies in order to save the team, and history (with a PreMortemOneLiner to boot!) Which is awesome (and sad) by itself. But he wasn't the first to attempt this. Various Legends kept on knocking the previous attempted sacrificer out to take their place. In fact, [[spoiler:Sara would have probably attempted this on Snart if it wasn't for the fact that this would leave two unconscious bodies and no one to remove them from the blast.]]
