"Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship"

Airdate: October 27, 2019

"There are people who believe this world is fair and good. That it's all lollipops and rainbows. I remember what happened to my parents. You remember what happened to your parents. You and me, Topher, we don't do lollipops an rainbows because we know those are just pretty colors that just hide what the world is really is. Black and white."
Angela


Tropes:

  • Fainting: Angela came to visit Jane to take care of her, but then she suddenly fainted so Jane is taking care of her instead.
  • Match Cut: We zoom to a white horse in a painting in Judd's home, with the sound of hooves stopping, and then cut to Veidt riding his white horse.
  • Police Brutality: The police round up the residents of the Nixonville trailer park, on the suspicions of being members of the Kalvary or associated with them, when they resist. Angela finds it unnecessary, yet she savagely beats up a resident for trying to hit her and Looking Glass with a bat.
  • The Reveal:
    • The White Night event happened on Christmas Eve.
    • The old man Will is Angela's grandfather.
  • Spiteful Spit: One of the Nixonville residents spits on the ground towards the cops when they treatens to tear down the Nixon statue.
  • Villain Has a Point: A German officer pass out propaganda fliers pointing out the racial inequality in America, even during The Great War.
  • Wham Shot: Angela discovers Judd was a Klansman. But she finds it convenient that she found it so easily, thinking it's a setup.
