And we havent even gotten to the whole Vixen-sleeps-with-Nate-and-ignores-the-mission-for-an-hour part yet!

But okay, well start with where the last hour left off.

Its Christmas Day in New Jersey (my home state!!

Hes heartless now, and hes ready to and I apologize for this in advance let itrip.

What are you, Gideon?

Sparks fly when Nate gets powder on his face and Amaya wipes his nose look away, Rex!

and next thing they know, theyre in each others arms.

Okay, things dont movethatfast.

I was just making sure you were paying attention.

Too bad Evil Benedict Arnold-like Rip was prepared for this.

Sara, realizing the new stakes, puts Jax in charge while trying to stave off death again.

Of course, thats not the action they wanted when they set out on this trek.

she decides the best way to warm him up is by using skin-to-skin contact.

(Okay, Amaya.Ooookay, The CW.)

but as theyre led to the redcoats camp, they start developing an entertaining, buddy cop comedy rapport.

Washington has a strategy; he insists that there are rules to war.

Mick, on the other hand, thinks its hilarious that theyre not doing anything in retaliation.

Despite Micks aggressiveness (or maybe because of it), Washington decides to follow his lead.

Things dont go as smoothly back aboard the Waverider.

Rip really didnt choose his men well.

At least Rip puts the hunter in Hunter.

Rip catches up to him all too quickly, though.

Cornered, Jax plays his final card, saying he can show Rip where he stashed the spear.

Rayfinallymakes it out of the vents and away from the rat and flips the switch.

Once a captain of a varsity diving team,alwaysa captain of the varsity diving team.

Gideon comes back online, finds that Saras brain cells are still functioning, and gets to work.

Its entropy, and its unstoppable, he says.

Besides, Rip explains, Jax doesnt have the guts to pull the trigger.

Hes right, but only after Sara arrives, healed enough to talk Jax down from killing Rip.

Oh, and its Christmas.

That night, Washington and Mick have a drink together to celebrate their narrow escape.

With everyone back on board the Waverider, the Legends sit for their first official Christmas dinner.

(Ray gives Mick the rat, and Mick isdelighted.)

Well… Id say anyone who calls themselves the ambassador of chill isnotchill at all.

After all, its important for the Legends to look ahead.

Nobody fights like family, right?

Not bad,Legends.

The Wizard of Ozwas a good reference to toss in for tonight.

Rip, its time to find you a heart.
