Why would a time travel show visiting Jane Austen in Regency period England suddenly break into a Bollywood-inspired musical number? Because it's the Legends! After a sub-mediocre first season this show hit its stride when it started to take big, ridiculous risks that usually paid off, and this episode is an great example of that. It helps that it focuses mainly on Zari, who quickly became the show's go to character after she joined. The highlight is the aforementioned musical number, which is goofy and inspired. But the show also develops the Ray/Nora romance beyond the flirty stage, and finally integrates Mona into the team.
Speaking of big risks, this episodes also takes one of the biggest in the show's run by revealing the reason for Nate's father's duplicity, and supposedly it was re-written because the showrunners liked guest actor Tom Wilson so much they decided not to make him the bad guy. It's a bit of a heel turn, but they pull it off in the end.
Few shows could manage to have an episode that starts with a funeral be as entertaining as this one is, develop multiple plot lines, and maintain character integrity. This episode is possibly the best of season 4.
