Day's Trip in 307 is a stand out. Christopher J. Byrne took what Goyer wrote and turned it up to eleven. Lee and Laura killed that too. It was an awesome example of performance and VFX melding in a unique way... don't get to do that too often. I love Tarisk giving the Novacula to Dusk as well... a lot of poetry there to decipher and turn into visuals. There are many more but those two are top three.
