6. A Cricket's Creed

Imagine a clean-cut priest with a history of orthopedic problems who would come to be hooked on numerous drugs and end up as a lowlife street rat. Now imagine that very same person being revealed as a parkour master, who would make Ezio Auditore look like a second-rate amateur, completely out of the blue.

Well, that's exactly what happens in season twelve's penultimate episode; A Cricket's Tale.

Cricket's freeruning skills are displayed twice in this episode, once at the very beginning and once during its climax. However, it's the latter that gets the nod here; because of not only the act itself, but its aftermath.

After being late to his meeting with a potential business partner with his father's company, Cricket squanders his chance at redemption, then decides not to accept defeat so easily. He jumps through the window and makes his way to the ground with incredible grace. He is then quickly rejected, before simply threatening to disembowel the other unless he agrees to the business deal... Only to squander it yet again by kissing a dog who he believed to be a woman (hence the drugs), scaring the man away.

This entire scene is rapid and abrupt in the best possible way, and combines both Sunny's cynical and all-out styles of humor in a memorable style that definitely earns it a spot here.
