Added DiffLines:

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Sophie gets pregnant by her boyfriend in Season 2. At first she gets abortion drugs, feeling that bringing a child into the current world would be wrong. However, she's hesitant and doesn't use them right away. After her sister Catherine learns about it, she convinces Sophie to have the baby, saying she'd be a great mother (having already basically adopted a boy earlier) and her having a child will give them both something that will help them keep going. Nathan, her boyfriend, is also delighted on learning she's pregnant (he wasn't privy to the discussion). However, she's not actually treated as ''bad'' for having considered abortion, so this is a largely {{downplayed}} example.

[[folder:Emily Gresham]]

* DisabilitySuperpower: Emily's able to see again at times and hear things no one else can as a result of the alien signal affecting her brain somehow. This appears to be a result of her blindness (or the condition behind it), since no one else can do these things.

* NotActuallyHisChild: Sarah tells Bill that she cheated on her husband in the past, and due to this Emily was really fathered by another man. Though he still loved Emily since, Jonathan never entirely forgave Sarah.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Her brother Noah is revealed to have raped her.

* RapeAsBackstory: It's revealed that she had been raped in the past [[spoiler:(and by her brother to boot).]]
* ReallyGetsAround: Chloe was apparently quite promiscuous as a teenager. She wasn't sure who her son's birth father was at first, but realized due to his eyes [[spoiler: he'd been the result of her brother's rape]], not any of the boys whom she had consensual sex with.
* TeenPregnancy: Chloe relates that she had her son at fifteen.
* TurnOutLikeHisFather: Chloe laments that her son's like his father, seeing a lot of similarity between them. It's also a darker example than most, since his father [[spoiler:conceived him by raping her]]. She's clearly afraid of Sacha becoming like him (especially since he already left his father to die).
* WhosYourDaddy: Chloe was unsure initially of who fathered her son, because she had slept with a lot of boys and also been raped around the same time. After his birth, she realized her rapist was the father as they had the same eyes.

* WouldHurtAChild: The aliens' killer robots target children and adults equally. [[spoiler: A little French girl whom Sophie finds is killed after being discovered hiding.]]
* ZergRush: This tactic is used by the robots to avoid being easily taken out by small arms fire and explosives.
