Not only that, but the show also puts a welcomed twist on a tired trope.
Once the Legends realize Freddyhas apparently come back from the dead, they go into action mode.

This setup yields two very delightful twists.
First, Mick went to this school and this is his class reunion.
(Unsurprisingly, none of the Legends actually listened to the podcast.)
I love how much Ava has come alive since being freed from the endearingly stuffy Time Bureau.
Freddy wastes no time in attacking his classmates.
Back then, he was in juvenile detention and planned on breaking out to attend but chickened out.
Unfortunately, the killer murders Allie right after she and Mick sneak off together.
From there, Ray, Nate, and Nora accompany Freddy to prom.
To his bullys dismay, everyone in the auditorium is charmed by it and joins in.
You know, a story likeJoker.
The last thing we needed is another white male rage story.
Anyway, the 1989-set Legends defeat Kathy in the past, which then makes her disappear in 2004.
While all of this was going on, Zari and Behrad made some important headway in their relationship.
