Awesome / A Wrinkle in Time

• Mrs. Whatsit's first introduction, showing up in a hurricane, showing us the first adult to ever understand Charles Wallace, and departing leaving Mrs. Murry in a Heroic BSoD in her wake.
  "Speaking of ways, pet, by the way. There IS such a thing as a tesseract."
• Meg standing up for herself and her family to Mr. Jenkins:
  "Mr. Jenkins, you’ve met my mother, haven’t you? You can’t accuse her of not facing facts, can you? She’s a scientist. She has doctors’ degrees in both biology and bacteriology. Her business is facts. When she tells me that my father isn’t coming home, I’ll believe it. As long as she says Father is coming home, then I’ll believe that."
• Dr. Murry tessering the children away from IT and managing to land them on a friendly planet. After just being freed from his extended captivity.
• Meg making the Sadistic Choice to go back to Camazotz alone to save Charles Wallace's life.
  Mrs. Whatsit: We want nothing from you that you do without grace, or without understanding.
  Meg: But I do understand. It has to be me, it can't be anyone else.
• The final defeat of IT, due to Charles Wallace and Meg's use of The Power of Love.
