As Hank and Hope put the finishing touches to the quantum tunnel and Hope prepares to go subatomic, she and Scott share a surprisingly poignant little moment where she confesses her anxiety over being reunited with her mother.

In addition to hurling some light comic relief her way (suggesting Janet may have turned into George Washington or George Jefferson), he uses his own experience with incarceration to assure Hope that Janet hasn't forgotten about her.

Given how familial drama can feel so forced in superhero movies (or blockbusters in general), this was a nicely scaled-back, simple moment of humanity that really worked. Scott may be a dummy a lot of the time, but this dose of genuine earnestness really hit the mark.
