Pretty much every character has one at one time or another, so let's make a list, shall we?

Annie Walker

• "Ow, my tooth!" *punches assassin in the face*
• Stabs a terrorist with a bottle opener and kicks him through a window. While zip-tied to a car door.

Auggie Anderson

• Upon being pulled away from a mission with Annie, he's sat down to do a polygraph. And he lies to the polygraph, to the point where he convinces it that he's not blind.
  • Perhaps a little Fridge Brilliance since he only became blind late in life meaning he may not necessarily consider his blindness a core component of his identity and he has plenty of pre-blind material with which to reference to.
  • He does it again in "World Leader Pretend," lying flat out to his interrogator's face that he found the incriminating evidence in a flea market.
• Fighting two Russian mobsters... shirtless.
• Chewing out the section of the agency that is supposed to provide agents' covers for dropping the ball on Annie, then going in himself to lead the tour.

Auggie: Hey! This is Anderson, up in the DPD. You know, it's funny, you guys answer your phones "Cover Operations," so I would assume that your job is actually to provide cover for our people. Is that right? It is! Then can you tell me why Agent Walker's niece and her entire third grade class are standing outside the Smithsonian right now wondering why no one has arranged a tour?

Joan Campbell

• Her many, many arguments with Arthur in which she gets the upper hand, consistently proving that she is capable and strong.
• She's offered her husband's job, which she is more than capable of doing. So what does she do? She breaks protocol to tell him, refuses to take it even when he tells her to, and says that they will fight the decision together.
• In "Welcome to the Occupation", walking into a hostage situation personally to rescue an old friend, then facing five armed guards mostly by herself and taking them all down.

Arthur Campbell

• Calling out Magnificent Bastard Henry Wilcox on his lack of conscience and ordering him out of the room has to be one.
• Decking Smug Snake Steve Barr in the men's room in "World Leader Pretend."
• His apology to Joan in "Welcome to the Occupation" - he's not sorry he sent Ben as insurance, but he wrote a speech and arranged for dinner just in case she didn't forgive him. Also a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.

Jai Wilcox

• Not only does he go after Annie to protect her, not only does he turn on a disco ball to distract the bad guys, but he shoots an assassin in the alley below from a window right before she can shoot Annie.
• Out-foxing his own father, a Magnificent Bastard in his own right, into getting him a promotion.
