'''Nigel''': [[SelfDeprecation I'm not sure I ever had it, Deborah]].
* Debbie's reaction when Eliza explains her powers to her [[spoiler:after losing them to save her]]--at first, we're led to think that she doesn't believe her, only for Debbie to reveal that she suspected it all along and then demand that Eliza relay a message to Darwin.
** Also, the reaction Debbie has when Eliza gets her powers back.
-->'''Debbie''': ''(Flipping through a fashion magazine)'' I don't know how I'm going to keep this secret of yours.
-->'''Eliza''': Well, you have to. I kind of agreed to a condition when I got my powers back.
