Spoilers for 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Season 5 Episode 4 'Slay Anything'

Courtney Ford's Nora Darhk is one of our favorite characters on 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' and the excellent work the actor has done with the role is a huge part of why we love her so much. Ford and her husband Brandon Routh, who plays Atom / Ray Palmer on the show, are two of the best actors on the cast and they will be missed sorely when they leave the show at the end of Season 5.

In the meantime, it would be a great idea to give Ford as much of the spotlight as possible and it looks like that's exactly what the show is doing. In 'Slay Anything', Nora played a major role in her capacity as a Fairy Godmother (just one of those things that only 'Legends' can pull off) and she had some really heartwarming moments that allowed Ford's skill and talent to shine through.

Nora is exceptionally funny, cool, smart and kind. In many ways, she is one of the most compassionate characters on the show and the fact that she wasn't always that way just makes her so much more amazing.

'Slay Anything' was the first episode of Season 5 to feature Nora and we didn't realize just how much we missed her until we saw her again. As it stands, it looks like Nora will be restricted to a strictly recurring role in the season but that does not mean the show isn't taking full advantage of every second they can get Ford on camera. 

The next episode of the season, 'A Head of Her Time', will see the team take a trip back to 18th century France to deal with the newly-resurrected Marie Antoinette who seems to be using her second chance at life to party hard and stuff every face she can find with cake. And who's playing the confectionary-obsessed queen you ask? Courtney Ford, of course. 

Now that's bound to cause some confusion, especially for Nora's boyfriend Ray, but we are sure everything will make sense at some point. Or not. This is 'Legends' after all.

'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Season 5 airs new episodes every Tuesday at 9/8c only on The CW.
