History Awesome / WelcomeToNightVale

* Episode 90 Part 2 has [[spoiler: the people of Night Vale uniting to fight off the Strangers. They join together in chant (even members of the new church of the Smiling God), while the Angels team up with Hiram [=McDaniels=] to fight off the Good Boy]].

* Episode 83 gives us more [[spoiler: Mayor]] Dana action. This time she [[spoiler: solves Desert Bluffs' financial crisis by combining the town with Night Vale. When Sheriff Sam and City Council inevitably try to put a stop to this, Mayor Dana stops them with a RousingSpeech, mixed with YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre. It's also made clear the pressures of being mayor are taking their toll on Dana, but that doesn't stop her]].

* As of episode 35, Tamika Flynn is training a militia composed entirely of children and, when questioned about it, issues a direct threat to [[spoiler: Strexcorp]]. The beginning of the first full-fledged resistance against [[spoiler: the Strex takeover]], headed by a [[LittleMissBadass 12-year-old.]]

* Episode 36, "Missing". [[spoiler: Strex Corp hunts after Tamika Flynn, and tries to shut down Cecil's show. In the meantime, both Tamika and Cecil incite Night Vale to revolution, Tamika through her direct and inspiring influence, Cecil with his words and his voice. Cecil's crowning moment is either the episode's "traffic" report, or managing to tap into the broadcast after having his mic cut and escaping the studio, hiding on the roof and continuing to urge the people of Night Vale to fight Strex Corp.]]

* The entirety of episode 46, with Cecil [[spoiler: communicating via morse that everyone in Night Vale participate in Tamika's revolution, and as the episode goes on. The weather's title, "Take Up Your Spade," only cements this further. He taunts Strexcorp station management as it goes on.]] He even outright calls [=StrexCorp=] terrible after the weather [[spoiler: when [[MoodWhiplash the revolution fails]] [[OhCrap and Tamika is captured]].]]

* In episode 47, Company Picnic, we learn that Carlos[[spoiler: managed to escape from Strexcorp when nobody else could]]. Perfect [[spoiler: uncaptured]] Carlos.

** Not to mention the firing a fatal ChekhovsGun - [[spoiler: Taking a photo of Khoshekh's kittens.]]

* [[spoiler: Leanne Hart and her hatchet tearing a bloody swath through Strexcorp office workers during Episode 49, shouting "I AM IMAGINING YOU ALL AS NEWS BLOGGERS! YOU ARE DESTROYING YEARS OF JOURNALISTIC TRADITION!" ]]

---> '''Cecil''': [as the music starts to build ] Think back. Look forward. Listen timelessly. Welcome to Nightvale! [theme plays]
** [[spoiler: Another moment goes to Sarah Sultan, who, despite being a smooth, fist sized river rock, still manages to throw (or have herself thrown) into the fray in order to help save what was definitely not an angel (formerly known as Marcus Vansten).]]

* Cross-posted from CMOF: Cecil ''weaponizing the Weather'' in "The University of What it Is", allowing the staff of the titular college to escape an angry mob by forcing said mob to stand around awkwardly for several minutes listening to music.
** Similarly, after years of brainwashing and blind obedience, Cecil asks his neighbors to try showing empathy and understanding towards strangers. When he realizes that they can't, he finally sees that his friends and companions are "a dangerous combination of repression and indoctrination". Hearing him ''finally'' comprehend what was clearly wrong with ths town's behavior for the past 54 épisodes is surreal, and a pretty impressive feat for someone who's as brainwashed as anyone else in Night Vale. Not at all lessened by the immediate contrast with his actions in the last episode (fighting the temptation to welcome an innocent carnival in town because it instinctively feels wrong) or the fact that each time, his impulse to be welcoming is somehow due to the PowerOfLove.

* Janice's ''incredibly clever'' plan to [[spoiler: pull of a heist]] in episode 71.

* Tamika Flynn managing to open a book club in "worms..." despite the City Council's hatred of literature. SHe even steals a book from the forbidden knowledge section of the library.

** [[spoiler: Another moment goes to Sarah Sultan, who, despite being a smooth, fist sized river rock, still manages to throw (or have herself thrown) into the fray in order to help save what was definitely not an angel (formally known as Marcus Vansten).]]
