** "Usher, Pt. 3" isn't much better. It's pretty normal at first, jumping between the Subway and Usher timelines, showing us the conclusion of the Usher arc where it's revealed [[spoiler: that Roxie was BuriedAlive in the vault, and she gets out and kills her mother]], and we find out more about the game The Victim [[spoiler: (a.k.a: Pearl)]] (Gelsey) was playing before they were pushed onto the subway tracks. After the end of the Usher section, it goes back into the game, where we get to the Pusher attacking [[spoiler Pearl.]] After The Pusher (Brent) sings that "The Pusher couldn't help himself" and the cast says that "And the Pusher pushed [[spoiler: Pearl]] onto the subway track.", The Victim sings "Pushed me into the path of the screaming '''''[[CarefulWithThatAxe TRAIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!]]'''''", being the one of the highest notes Gelsey hits during the show (a B5). A cymbal crashes, and the rest of the cast plays a DroneOfDread as she goes into a creepy-as-hell monologue from both the perspectives of Lady Usher and The Victim. As the monologue ends, the drone goes into a loud crescendo before cutting off, going into the A Cappella song "Prayer".

* LastNoteNightmare: There are a good few throughout the show:
** "Usher, Pt. 2" is a pretty eerie song throughout, with the song being the death scene of Roxie. It starts off average enough, with Lord Usher (Dave) narrating that on the night Roxie died, his "wife sang our son played his guitar", noting that they played "wild improvisations, dirges and waltzes, fevered rhapsodies" before the song slams into this discordant mess with Lady Usher (Gelsey) and The Fool (Brent) loudly singing: '''''"THE STONES ARE ALIVE, THE STONES ARE ALIVE! THE DECAYING TREES! THE BOOKS ON THE WALL, THE BOOKS ON THE WALL! THE CONDENSATION ON THE WINDOW! ON THE WINDOW! IT IS ALL ALIVE! ALL ALIVE!"''''' before all the instruments suddenly drop out and the cast sings [[DarkReprise "the driver can't stop, the ghost is here."]] until we suddenly cut back into Roxie's death scene. It becomes normal and melancholic with Lady Usher operatically wailing "O, Roxie, why did you have to die? I forgive you." she sings "O, Roxie" two more times until [[WhamLine suddenly calling Roxie "Rose".]] The music suddenly goes into a dissonant crescendo with loud drumming and harp glissandos as she announces that '''"I SHALL PRESERVE HER CORPSE A FORTNIGHT WITHIN THE VAULT UNDERNEATH OUR BEDROOM."'''
