** "[=MovieMakers=]" has Laurel, a girl introduced as part of the cast of the movies Edd and his friends were making, only for her to die via [[ItMakesSenseInContext a shoe hitting her in the back of the head]]. WordOfGod has indeed confirmed that she won't be coming back.
** [=WTFuture=] has Hellucard (a minor character who only says "Hey, Edd!" whenever he appears) killed by Future Edd. He doesn't appear in anymore episodes after this, with all his appearances afterwards being in the dubiously canon webcomics.
** "The End" has Jon, Tom's neighbor counterpart, killed by a missile from Tord's giant robot, dying in Eduardo's hands. TheStinger has him show up as a ghost, confirming his death.

This is further set up by having the crew member's audio muted and the footage focused on the remaining crew members for the remainder of the Heist.
