History Recap / LegendsOfTomorrowS5E2MissMeKissMeLoveMe

* KickTheSonOfABitch: While John can't bring himself to execute Astra, he has no such problem with turning Bugsy Siegel's gun on [[HoistByHisOwnPetard its former owner]].

The Legends do FilmNoir as they go back to the 1940s to stop a resurrected Bugsy Siegel from taking over Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Nate accompanies Behrad to his dad's birthday party, and meets the new timeline's version of Zari.

* AbsenteeActor: Nora and Charlie do not appear this week, although the former is briefly mentioned.

* NotSoDifferent: Ray happily notices that John wasn't telling the truth and is trying to reform Astra, like he did with Nora.

* RealityEnsues: Zari has no memory of Nate, so his attention to her comes off as very stalker-like, especially given her large social media following.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Sullivan, the friendly officer who seems like the only honest cop, turns out to be just as corrupt as the rest (even though he wants to dispose of Bugsy, not support him, he's in league with other gangsters).

* CoffinContraband: Played with. The MacGuffin is actually hidden in the grave marker.

* DaydreamSurprise: Turns out Ava's ''gorgeous'' performance of Bel Biv [=DeVoe=]'s "Poison" was mostly in her head. Her ''actual'' performance was a lot more off-key and considerably more drunken.

* DirtyCommies: Bugsy suspects the Legends to be communists when he is being apprehended by them.

* ImmuneToBullets: Bugsy, as he proves when Mickey Cohen's thugs riddle him with bullets and he kills them, barely fazed.

* LivingADoubleLife: Behrad's parents don't know about him stealing the family's Air Totem or joining a team of time traveling superheroes. They think he's at business school.

* NotMeThisTime: The Legends are elated to discover that this season's time trouble is not the result of them screwing up, the way it had been for almost the whole show.

* ShoutOut: [[Film/{{Chinatown}} "Forget it, Ray. It's Burbank."]]

* NeverBeHurtAgain: Astra dismisses Constantine's pleas for her to stop sending souls back to Earth because their actions empower her in Hell and she enjoys being on top after untold years being helpless. Jeannie also betrays John in the climax with this same reasoning, arguing why she should leave and start over when all the power Bugsy's blackmail brings is free for the taking to insure she'll never be powerless again.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The real Virginia Hill was a powerful mobster in her own right, irregardless of her relationship with Siegel. She would've had no need to go out of her way to gain more power. Also, she was in Paris when Siegel was assassinated, not a witness to it.

* DreadfulMusician: Ava's alcohol induced song number is so terrible, it drives out the entire club in disgust.

** Due to going viral online as "dragon girl" in the present, Zari developed a career as a social media personality and thus has grown into a glamorous but haughty person in the future.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Sullivan is willing to use criminal methods to fight Bugsy, even blowing up an innocent woman.
** Well, she was far from innocent, but a vigilante execution is still going way too far.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Bugsy calls Astra a monster, created by John.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The real Virginia Hill was a powerful mobster in her own right, irregardless of her relationship with Siegel. Also, she was in Paris when Siegel was assassinated, not a witness to it.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The real Virginia Hill was a powerful mobster in her own right irregardless of her relationship with Siegal. Also, she was in Paris when Siegel was assassinated, not a witness to it.

* ImmortalBreaker: The pistol Bugsy brought back from Hell has bullets infused with {{Hellfire}}. In addition to incinerating people on contact and following BizarreAndImprobableBallistics, they can also destroy souls, killing the Encores permanently.

* DirtyCop: It's 1940's LA in a NoirEpisode; ''of course'' all the cops are dirty. Ray impersonating a cop is such a goody two-shoes straight arrow, the other cops ''immediately'' peg him as the expendable fall guy.

* NoirEpisode: About as Noirish as you can get without filming in black and white. 1940's gangsters, crooked cops, private eyes, {{MacGuffin}}s, a FemmeFatale, [[GoingByTheMatchbook the vital clue being a matchbook the killer left behind...]]

* TheCastShowoff: Jes Macallan kills "Poison." In her head, anyway.

* FemmeFatale: It's a FilmNoir spoof, so even folks unfamiliar with her RealLife counterpart should know that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Hill Jeannie Hill]] is more than the DamselInDistress she makes herself out to be.

* FemmeFatale: Jeannie Hill is a textbook example.

* LuxuryPrisonSuite: Doesn't go as far as prison, but when Bugsy Siegel is arrested and taken down to the police station, he's able to treat it like his own little clubhouse. They even bring him a professionally catered steak dinner.
