History Recap / LegendsOfTomorrowS4E6TenderIsTheNate

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Ray is bet that he could just leave the team and no one would notice. Sure enough, he proceeds to be absent from most of the episode stuck in an envelope, and odds are quite a few fans didn't notice at all.

* HiddenDepths: Hank does an ''awesome'' rendition of James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James".

* LiteralMinded: During the fight with the Minotaur, Sara tells the Fitzgeralds to go behind the bar. Instead of hiding, Scott tries to make himself a drink.

* MomentKiller: Hank walks in while Sara is trying to... *ahem* give Ava her birthday present. Sara's ninja skills manage to save them from being caught in a compromising position.

* SeriesContinuityError: Is there any reason Gideon isn't still creating the team's clothes and food herself? In fact, earlier in this very season, Constantine was taking advantage of the ''Waverider's'' fabricator to make rare spell components. Some fans have theorized it's {{Foreshadowing}} Gideon embezzling money from the Bureau for something, but there was no hint of it in the episode.

* LiteralMinded: During the fight with the Minotaur, Sara tells the Fitzgerald's to go behind the bar. Instead of hiding, Scott tries to make himself a drink.

* DoubleEntendre: While Sara is hiding Ava's desk, the latter is accused by Hank of ''being in bed with the Legends'' or ''being screwed'' by Sara Lance.

* {{Woman Child}}: Mona, much to Ava's ire at first. At the end of the episode, however, she starts to see her worth.

* BirdsOfAFeather: Mick immediately bonds with Ernest Hemingway, a fellow author and drunken lug.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Nate does this to Hank, calling him out on all of his "lessons" just being complaining about him being different than himself.

* DeadpanSnarker: Gideon, even moreso than usual, as she has to remind people that she's also a member of the Legends.

* IChooseToStay: As the team celebrate their success at the end of the episode, Nate makes it clear that he's staying with the Time Bureau, mainly because it's helping him grow.

* MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast: It turns out that the only thing that can stop the Minotaur is to get him to sleep by playing a lullaby on a Greek lute... or some James Taylor on a guitar will work in a pinch.

* {{Woman Child}}: Mona, much to Ava's ire at first. At the end of the episode however, she starts to see her worth.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Hank actually adapts to the Legend's zany attitude quite quickly.

* LeeroyJenkins: Hemmingway and Hank are way too eager to hunt for the Minotaur and it almost costs both of them their lives.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Hemmingway is portrayed as kind of a dick throughout the episode, but during the closing scene Nate quotes one of his lines that applies to himself: "Can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another."

* HouseInspection: Hank makes an inspection on the Waverider due to the high expenditure. Naturally, its a desaster.

'''Mona''': Well, at least we're here together...right?\\

** And who is in said love letter? Ray himself, who got stuck at the glue trying to deliver the letter himself!

* BoisterousWeakling: Hemmingway talks a big game, but doesn't accomplish anything throughout the episode.

** Later, when Nate has almost calmed the Minotaur down, Hemmingway tries to kill it and causes another senseless fight.

* AbsenteeActor: Gary sits this episode out. He is only mentioned once by Ava in the beginning, when Sara enters her officer and she states that [[StatingTheObvious she isn't Gary]].

'''Nora''': (''nonplussed'') ...now I know why you took my shoelaces.[[labelnote:*]]The implication being she wants to hang herself.[[/labelnote]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Because of his insistence of hunting the monster in Paris, Director Heywood almost gets killed by the Minotaur.

* SeriesContinuityError: Is there any reason Gideon isn't still creating the team's clothes and food herself?

* ALoadOfBull: The fugitive of the week ends up being a Minotaur...
* AnAxeToGrind: ...complete with an axe that can block bullets.
* AttackBackfire: When Nate refuses to back down from his plan of using music to deal with the Minotaur, Director Haywood decides to defer the issue to Captain Lance... only for Sara to point-blank state she sides with Nate.

** It was unavoidable, but Nate's belief that Amaya returned to the Waverider is immediately squashed when "Amaya" speaks in a decidedly ''different'' accent.

* WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Director Haywood, Ernest Hemingway, and Mick get drunk and decide to hunt the monster themselves. It then turns out to be a Minotaur and Director Haywood ''barely'' manages to avoid death.

* ContinuityNod: The Time Bureau had to pay for a new time core for the Waverider, since the last one was [[Recap/LegendsOfTomorrowS3E18TheGoodTheBadAndTheCuddly blown up by Rip Hunter.]] (How they managed to get a new time core in 2018 is never mentioned.)

* GayParee: Sara even calls it Gay Paree, while Mick asks if that's politically incorrect. (Well, he says "impolitically correct," but Nate corrects him.)
