Survival Through Self-Sacrifice
 Highlander: The Raven / int_1b539743
comment
Survival Through Self-Sacrifice: One episode had a soldier/vigilante Immortal pursuing Amanda because she once stole some loot from the soldier which included written orders to evacuate a doomed position, with the theft causing the deaths of everyone there. When Amanda learns his actual motives, she's wracked with guilt and decides to let him behead her; seeing this, he merely shoots her, causing a temporary death, and announces that she died with honor.

Stupid Sacrifice: The first episode climaxes with Officer Claudia Hoffman diving in front of a bullet to protect Amanda, who is an Immortal who would have easily recovered from being shot.

Divorce Requires Death
 Highlander: The Raven / int_4fc172d5
comment
Divorce Requires Death: One episode had Amanda's former husband (a fellow Immortal who she only married to save her own neck) turn up. They fight, and when she had him dead to rights, he pleaded, "I'm your husband". She answers, "I want a divorce" before lopping his head off.

Curse That Cures
 Highlander: The Raven / int_6808f23a
comment
Curse That Cures: Nick Wolfe is dying from poison, but is saved when Amanda shoots him, triggering Nick's latent immortality, which dying from poison would not do (because a person's "first death" only causes their immortality to kick in if the death is violent and traumatic). Nick sees immortality as a curse, though. and angrily storms off while telling Amanda that he never wants to see her again.

Heel Realization: Amanda is forced to acknowledge how her centuries of theft have probably hurt a lot of people and is now seeking to atone by aiding Nick in cases.

My God, What Have I Done?
 Highlander: The Raven / int_a1b141f4
comment
My God, What Have I Done?: In World War I, Amanda robbed a young soldier of a pouch containing jewels, not caring what else was inside of it. When she meets the soldier, now an Immortal, again, she assumes that his anger is over what happened. Nick has to break it to her that the pouch also contained orders for the man's division to divert from a planned trap. Because they didn't get the orders, they marched in anyway and were wiped out. Amanda is stunned that her greed contributed to the deaths of hundreds of men, and wonders how many more innocents paid for her actions over the centuries. She's even ready to let the soldier take her head, but Nick is able to stop him.

Healing Factor
 Highlander: The Raven / int_a5fb0d24
comment
Healing Factor: Immortals have fast healing, with the only injuries that they do not heal from being ones to the neck, which is why they can only be killed by cutting their heads off. According to the show, severing their spine by any other means also works, and they can't regenerate limbs.

Classy Cat-Burglar: Amanda, in spades. Given that she's a thousand years old, she's the best thief alive. It's not about the money for her (she's so rich, she doesn't know how much she has), just the thrill.

I Hate You, Vampire Dad: Or in this case..."I Hate You, Immortal Mom?". This is pretty much Nick Wolfe's response to a tearful Amanda after she shoots Nick with a gun in order to trigger his immortality.

Spotting the Thread
 Highlander: The Raven / int_ec0ce986
comment
Spotting the Thread: Nick and Amanda are hired to recover a stolen painting and think that they've done it. But when they see it on display, Amanda tells Nick that they've been tricked as this is a fake. When Nick says that it has the artist's signature, Amanda relates that's the problem: She just happened to have been having an affair with the artist when he got drunk and behind on the deadline, so Amanda signed it for him. The forger perfectly copied the artist's signature, but Amanda knows her own handwriting.
