* After nearly 35 years, Laurie finally gets to bring Adrian Veidt to justice, with a full confession that in his arrogance he never thought could come back to bite him.

* The show is bold enough to reveal Hooded Justice as a [[spoiler: completely different person than the few canon hints have provided, a black cop who finally got fed up with the systemic racism he witnessed and took on a white identity to use their own violent tactics against them, finally just snapping and murdering a whole group of Klansmen.]]
