2
3	!!Season 1
4	[[folder:1x01: Pilot]]
5	* Kate punches her way through a frozen lake using ankle cuffs as brass knuckles after her trainer/guide deliberately traps her underwater.
6	* How does Kate break into Wayne Tower? By free-climbing the side of the building a couple floors.
7	** Even better, Ruby Rose's stunt double performed that climb ''for real'', without any wires.
8	* Batwoman's BigDamnHeroes moment, combined with DynamicEntry--it's the first and only time during the whole episode [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness we see Alice get caught off-guard]], because it's clear to her, and to everyone else, what this means. Gotham has a protector again. And not just any protector, either. The Bat is back.
9	* Kate saving Sophie by catching her in midair while falling and shielding her with her body as they crash through a roof.
10	[[/folder]]
11
12	[[folder:1x02:The Rabbit Hole]]
13	* Mary managing to survive an attack by Dodgson, a trained security agent. Especially when she stabs him with a souvenir batarang.
14	[[/folder]]
15
16	[[folder:1x03:Down Down Down]]
17	* Kate making her debut in her full Batwoman outfit, stopping Tommy's plan and saving everyone in the elevators.
18	* Alice [[VillainousRescue saving Kate]] by whacking Tommy over the head before he can cause Kate to lose her grip and fall down the shaft.
19	* Mary shows her chops as a doctor, spotting something wrong with an injured woman that the [=EMTs=] missed.
20	[[/folder]]
21
22	[[folder:1x04: Who Are You?]]
23	* After the "batawhiff" from earlier, Kate makes up for it by sniping an explosive pearl out of a little girl's hand before it goes off. And then grapple-hooks Magpie off the side of a building and into a fountain.
24	[[/folder]]
25
26	[[folder:1x07: Tell Me the Truth]]
27	* Though unseen, Kate winning a sharpshooting contest against 200 other cadets while hungover is quite an accomplishment.
28	* Similarly, she shoots out a tire of a Crows van while on a motorcycle, from about 150 feet, with a pistol, and left-handed.
29	* When the homophobic owner of Alessandro's tries to kick out Kate and Sophie when he assumes they're a couple, Kate gets him to back down by threatening to call Mary. And having her put his attitude on display for all ''3 million'' of her followers. He wisely backs down.
30	** And as a little payback, Kate's first real estate purchase is a primo space right across the street from Alessandro's. Which she plans to turn into a gay bar.
31	[[/folder]]
32
33	[[folder:1x08: A Mad Tea Party]]
34	* Batwoman taking down all of Alice's henchmen at the theater singlehandedly.
35	[[/folder]]
36
37	[[folder:1x10: How Queer Everything Is Today!]]
38	* When Alice threatens to blow up a school unless Parker outs Kate as Batwoman, Parker balks at the notion of outing someone and possibly risking her safety. Kate tells her to go ahead and do it, not willing to put her own safety and privacy over the safety of innocent high-school students.
39	** And then Parker, knowing what it's like to be outed, ''refuses'', sending Alice and Kate what they think she's sending and mass-texting a warning about the bomb to everyone else.
40	* After the whole city starts shipping her with a male cop, Kate decides to have Batwoman openly be a lesbian, with none other than [[Series/{{Supergirl2015}} Kara Danvers]] breaking the story now that they're on the same Earth.
41	[[/folder]]
42
43	[[folder:1x15 Off With Her Head]]
44	* After seeing everything Mabel put Alice through, seeing her get her revenge by burning Mabel alive ''using Mabel's own oxygen tank as a flamethrower'' is oh so satisfying.
45	* Despite the fact that she ended up horrified at breaking her code, it was rather satisfying to see Kate kill that monster Cartwright, the man who took her sister from her and turned her into the psychopath she is now.
46	[[/folder]]
47
48	[[folder:1x16: Through The Looking Glass]]
49	* The all-too-brief team up between Alice and Kate as they slug their way through Arkham security.
50	* Kate completely out playing Alice and locking her and Mouse up in Arkham Asylum, finally putting an end to Alice's killing spree.
51	[[/folder]]
52
53	[[folder:1x17: A Narrow Escape]]
54	* The unnamed woman who tries to take up Batwoman's legacy in her absence, despite having just a homemade suit and none of the training that Kate has.
55	* Mary gets tired of waiting for Kate to level with her, admits she knows her stepsister is Batwoman, and inspires Kate to put on the Batsuit again.
56	* Luke activating a lockdown protocol in Wayne Tower, limiting the blast to the area. CrazyPrepared at its finest.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:1x18: If You Believe In Me, I'll Believe In You]]
60	* Luke and Mary's rescue of Batwoman when she is captured by the mobsters. Mary stands out as she gets to put her skills to use on the field for the first time--effortlessly blending in at the nightclub, infiltrating a mob auction, and using a briefcase of money as a makeshift bomb for a distraction, allowing her to free Batwoman.
61	* The episode ending reveals that Lucius Fox wrote his entire journal in a code only he knew in case it was stolen. It seems Bruce's [[CrazyPrepared penchant for planning ahead rubbed off on him]].
62	[[/folder]]
63
64	!!Season 2
65	[[folder:2x01: What Happened To Kate Kane?]]
66	* Ryan's fantastic speech to Mary and Luke on why she's keeping the suit.
67	-->'''Ryan''': Trust me, I know I'm not a symbol. Or a name or a legacy.\
68	'''Mary''': Exactly. So why do you think you're worthy of wearing it?\
69	'''Ryan''': Because I'm a number. I am the 327th baby of a black woman who died during childbirth that year. I'm a $20 a day check to a group home. I'm Inmate 3075, serving 18 months for a crime I didn't commit. But I can live with all those numbers because to the mom who adopted me, I was her number One. But it turns out she's just one of a quarter million murders in this country who have not seen justice. And that is a number I can't live with.
70	* The car chase between the pursued Ryan and the pursuing Tommy in the former's van and the Batmobile, respectively, discounting the fact that it ended prematurely due to Luke hacking the latter vehicle's OS from the Batcave.
71	* Ryan beating down Tommy so badly that his fake Bruce "face" falls off.
72	[[/folder]]
73	[[folder:2x02: Prior Criminal History]]
74	* In their first fight, Ryan manages to hold her own against Alice, and unlike Kate, she doesn't hold back. And for her part, Alice seems amused more than anything of her younger adversary's obvious bloodlust, either landing hits of her own or parrying off Ryan's. Those she did take from the latter seem to have little effect, until this new Batwoman manages to get Alice down on one knee and then grabbing her around the neck with both hands. Alice merely sneers at the thought of her going down at the hands of this total stranger and not by Kate's, maintaining a psychological advantage over Ryan before she unveils her trump card: a flock of bats that are carriers to the same potent toxin the killed Catherine Hamilton. She remotely unleashes then to the rally below using a sonic-emission device planted beforehand, distracting Ryan. In the end, Alice ends up fleeing and then going to Mary, offering an antidote to her latest poisoning scheme. It should be noted that, despite having just finished trading blows with the person whom she thinks is trying to take over where Kate left off, Alice apparently still has the guts to go to her step-sister with such confidence.
75	* Ryan's quick thinking contains and exterminates the swarm of bats.
76	[[/folder]]
77	[[folder:2x03: Bat Girl Magic!]]
78	* Ryan making the Batwoman suit her own, after previously still being awkward in it. And then proceeding to take down Zsasz in a fight.
79	* Alice catching Safiyah off-guard by throwing her down, while they are both in seated positions, and then pinning her to the ground; only for the latter to turn the tables by flipping Alice off of herself and then pinning Alice down in turn.
80	* Sophie managing to fight [[TheDragon Tatiana]] evenly, despite being handcuffed.
81	[[/folder]]
82	[[folder:2x04: Fair Skin, Blue Eyes]]
83	* How did Ryan escape the Candy Lady the first time? Simple. Angelique got herself kidnapped, but managed to smuggle in a slingshot. She pelted the Candy Lady with the slingshot, then brained her with the candy jar, and then helped Ryan out of the house to safety. And the two girls were barely teenagers at the time.
84	* Round 2 with the Candy Lady: Ryan manages to maneuver the candy jar under her, breaks it, uses the shards to cut the ropes around her arms and legs, and then waits for the Candy Lady to return. When the Candy Lady shows up, Ryan pounces her, rolls her down the stairs, and then ''beats the Hell out of her.''
85	* In the climax, Batwoman and Jacob fight together against the False Faces. After how they spent much of the previous season at cross-purposes, seeing them work together for once is a nice change of pace.
86	[[/folder]]
87	[[folder:2x08: Survived Much Worse]]
88	* After realizing that Safiyah has been lying to her all along about having Kate just to use her against Ocean, Alice takes revenge the best way she can -- setting fire to the Desert Rose fields, [[RevengeByProxy destroying the thing Safiyah loves most]].
89	[[/folder]]
90	[[folder:2x12: Initiate Self-Destruct]]
91	* Batwoman battles a brainwashed Kate. Despite Kate's injuries, she is more than able to hold her own against Ryan.
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder:2x16: Rebirth]]
95	* The return of John Diggle to the Arrowverse as he saves Luke from a beating after a card game.
96	** Also before that, Luke humiliating Tavaroff by beating him at the card game, chuckling on how bad he has to be as "the house loses."
97	[[/folder]]
98
99	[[folder:2x18: Power]]
100	* Luke discovers something that his father had been working on before his death. That thing being his Batwing armor from the comics!
101	** Luke's first time out in the suit goes quite well all things considered. First he uses it to fly up and catch Mary after she's thrown of a fire escape. Then he uses the suit to knock out Tavaroff, the corrupt Crow agent that shot and nearly killed him a few episodes ago who also tried to frame Luke for attempted assault with a gun to keep himself out of trouble and later tried to beat Luke to death for humiliating him in a card game, in one punch while the man is powered up by Venom. Justice has struck stronger!
102	* A family is cowering in their apartment during the anarchy Black Mask has engineered when the father sees the son has one the False Face masks. The son reveals that their neighbors put a mask in the window and asks if they can do the same, prompting a EurekaMoment for the father. It's revealed that several of the people in the city have painted Bat-Symbols on the masks and lit them with candles to show their faith in Batwoman.
103	* After Tavaroff winds up at the clinic Mary discovers he has a Snakebite injector for an aerosolized variant and comes up with a plan on the spot to remove the Circe personality that's taken over Kate. Use the Snakebite to bring her original personality back out.
104	* Ryan goes along with Mary's plan but isn't confident about her chances of taking on Circe, who now has the Batsuit and all of the Batcave's weaponry, so she agrees to an EnemyMine with Alice. After having enough of Alice's ranting Ryan tears into her, bluntly informing the lunatic that she is not and will never be forgiven for killing Ryan's adoptive mother and that once the city is saved she is going to do everything in her power to shove Alice in a jail cell.
105	* Ryan and Alice tag team Circe, who has the Batsuit and all of the associated gear. They actually manage to deal with her long enough to get the upper hand so they can spray her with the Snakebite to bring Kate's mind back.
106	** Ryan gets the ultimate ShutUpHannibal response when Circe taunts her about she couldn't match up to Kate:
107	-->'''Ryan''': Call me Batwoman.
108	* Alice deals with Black Mask while Ryan goes after Circe. The madman rants about how Alice was a lackluster villain while he's a true mastermind but Alice just asks him who a real villain was. Her answer? The Joker, which is followed by her using the man's flower to spray acid into Black Mask's face and then she shoves his mask on; burning it onto his face and fraying his mind from the trauma. Guess who the real villain is now.

110
111	!!Season 3
112	[[folder:3x02: Loose Tooth]]
113	* After Alice inevitably breaks her ankle monitor, Luke tracks her down and injects her full of nanites, allowing her to be tracked by [=WayneTech=] satellites. Of which there are many. He suggests to her that if she still wants to try and escape, she better run really fast. She decides to hand herself back over to the authorities instead.
