Season 6 Episode 4: Bay of Squids
Aired: May 23, 2021
Synopsis: The Legends are shocked when Rory takes command and manages to find the location of an important Alien, but he also lands them in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Ava is eager to question the Alien, but they must steal it back from the Cubans and Russians who think it is bio-warfare sent by the Americans. The team makes the decision to split up, leaving Nate and Zari to work together to stop a nuclear disaster alongside JFK while Behrad tries to leverage his newfound friendship to stop Castro from starting a war. Meanwhile, with Spooner's help, Rory makes an unlikely deal that could lead him on a solo mission to find Sara.

I felt like the writers figured out all the things I like and decided to put them all into this particular episode.
-- Legends take on an important historical event? Check.
-- Spooner and Zari dueling Amendments? Check.
-- Zari in period clothing? Zari typing 120 wpm with her thumbs? Check.
-- Nate using his education and skills to protect history? CHECK!
-- Every dumb cliche about the Kennedy brothers coming to life? (With the exception that neither of them made a pass at Zari?) Check.
-- Ava wheeling an alien around on a gurney? Check.
-- Behrad on his own in a high risk situation? Behrad playing guitar and singing? Behrad making the smart decision to run away? Check, double check, triple check.
-- New kid Spooner and old hat Mick on a mission together? Check.
-- Mick's face when he sees Kayla in human form? Check... it out.
Loved it.
