Awesome / Cloak & Dagger (2018)

Season 1:

Episode 4: "Call/Response"

• Tandy finally getting control over her light daggers at the end of episode 4, then using them to cut through to a secret safe where Greg kept copies of the files condemning Roxxon.

Episode 7: "Lotus Eaters"

• The two effortlessly tag teaming each other to take down the projections of Ivan's murderous coworkers in "Lotus Eaters", with Tyrone using Deadly Dodging and Teleport Spam to put people in the best position for Tandy to use her knives, and Tandy mixing her newfound knife-throwing skills with her ballet training. It's their first fight together and while it was technically in a Mental World, it's clear how capable they are together.

Episode 8: "Ghost Stories"

• In episode 8, Tyrone uses his brother's Wild Red Hawk cloak to master his powers. Then, he uses his mastery, along with Detective O'Reilly and her boyfriend, to terrify Connors into confessing to Billy's murder.
• Tandy sneaks into a Roxxon building, uses her daggers to disrupt the power, kidnaps Scarborough, and makes him beg for his life before leaving—slashing through a steel pillar as she goes, which falls apart and makes the entire building tremble.

Episode 9: "Back Breaker"

• Tyrone's impassioned speech about how irresponsible it was of his parents to look the other way after Billy was killed.
  Tyrone: So I should just what, throw my hands up and give up? Is that what you're saying.
  Adina: You put yourself in their cross-hairs again!
  Tyrone: Someone has to! Otherwise nothing will change!
  Adina: I've already lost one son, Tyrone!
  Tyrone: And if I don't stand up it will be for nothing! Watch your mouth, pull your pants up, take your hoodie down, WHEN DOES IT END? We got all sorts of rules, but you said it best. Even if I do everything perfect they still could come after me. So why be perfect? Why not stand up for the world the way it should be?
• Tandy, pissed at Evita, enters her mind to devour her hope. Evita throws her out.
  Evita: No.

Episode 10: "Colony Collapse"

• Mina punching Scarborough in the face.
• Tyrone leaving O'Reilly to go protect the cops who've done nothing but make his life hell since he was 8.
• The other times throughout history when one of a divine pair has given their life to save their home.
• One of the strongest proofs of character is seen when Tyrone, handcuffed in a detainment cell along with O'Reilly and unable to use his superpowers confidently, resorts to his other power: a heartfelt speech grounded on his moral compass and knowledge of his rights directed at the officer guarding them. And it works. Not fast enough to set them free, as the (un)timely coming of another officer lets the now remorseful guard tag out, but he still got to the cop's heart with the power of argument alone.
• Tyrone and Tandy facing terrors in the streets of New Orleans, finally united as Cloak and Dagger.
  • And O'Reilly's there too with a sniper rifle.
• Tyrone putting Connors in his place once and for all.
• Tyrone's attempt at a Heroic Sacrifice and Tandy's impression of The Cavalry come to save the day.
• Tandy and Tyrone saving New Orleans and breaking the cycle of sacrifice that's been on repeat for centuries complete with an awesome musical score to set the tone.
  Tandy: Hold my hand. We'll show these assholes a Divine Pairing.
• Roxxon finally taking the fall for all the damage they've caused over the years.
• O'Reilly rising from the waters as Mayhem.

Season 2:

Episode 7: "Vikingtown Sound"

• Tandy regaining her powers and going on a rampage through the motel while Tyrone fights his way to her, all with Awesome Music playing.

Episode 9: "Blue Note"

• This scene, wherein both our Heroes Took a Level in Badass. Tyrone singlehandedly terrifies the drug lords of New Orleans into accepting his new rules (no pimps, no traffickers), while Tandy shows she's improved in hand-to-hand in her fight with Mayhem.

Episode 10: "Level Up"

• Tandy has upgraded from Daggers to a sword, and her first use of it is to literally cut her father out of her psyche.
• Tandy and Tyrone facing their fears and conquering them to get to Andre.
• The brilliant tag-teaming between Cloak and Dagger in the finale. From Tandy using her daggers to restore hope to D'Spayre's prisoners, to Tyrone facing down Andre himself, to the final move, where Tyrone teleports a sword-wielding Tandy right into D'Spayre. Bonus points to Mina, Mikayla, and Melissa for holding Andre down so Tandy and Tyrone can work their magic.
• Tandy and Tyrone forcing Andre to listen to all the despair he inflicted on others, for eternity.
