** The moment the series has been building up to has arrived: Allison finally stands up to Kevin and tells him she hasn't loved him in years, faked her own death to get away from him, and has now returned so she can officially divorce him. That is awesome by itself, but it's made even better by how Allison is confronting Kevin in the sitcom and the studio audience turns against Kevin and cheers for Allison when she makes it clear she's serious about leaving him. After two seasons of Kevin literally running the show, it's absolutely ''[[CatharsisFactor cathartic]]'' to watch him losing his once vice grip-like hold on everyone and everything, including his own sitcom-like view of the world.

*** Kevin, of course, doesn't take Allison leaving him so well, first trying to gaslight and outright verbally put her down, ranting that she never follows through on anything and will come crawling back to him eventually.

But Allison resolutely stands her ground, [[NotAfraidOfYouAnymore refusing to let him intimidate or bully her anymore]], even when he lunges at her and punches a wall.

Even after their argument, Patty does not hesitate for a second to [[BigDamnHeroes swoop in and save Allison]], even if it means having to smash a beer bottle over her brother's head to do so. Even better yet, this breaks Neil out of Kevin's sitcom world and forces him into reality.
* "Mrs. [=McRoberts=] is Dead": Allison and Neil's venomous exchange. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Neil asks Allison if "nagging" at Kevin has ever accomplished anything.]] It makes her realize that all her attempts at trying to get Kevin to act more reasonably were generally fruitless. Then Allison gives a cutting ArmorPiercingResponse to Neil by pointing out that they're both victims of Kevin's abuse in different ways.
-->'''Allison:''' Maybe he doesn't care when I "whine", but he laughs when you ''bleed''.
* "Allison's House", the GrandFinale, is chock full of these.
** Pete flatly refusing to tell Kevin the address of Lorraine's apartment when he leaves to move to Florida. Even if he doesn't outright disown Kevin here, it's clear he's not happy with how Kevin's been behaving and he's not going to indulge that anymore.
** Neil breaks off his friendship with Kevin, finally accepting that Kevin was never a good friend to him, and taking the first steps towards living his own life beyond being the BumblingSidekick.
** Patty puts her foot down with Neil and tells him pointedly that she's kicking him out of the house. When he asks what he's supposed to do, she flatly replies, "You're thirty-six. You can figure it out."
