!!General:

* Bellamy. Horrifying because he's such a ''normal'' villain; a domineering bully who infaltes himself at the expense of others and pretends to be doing it for their own good. His every other sentence is aimed at demeaning and humiliating Fogg, and while he didn't intend for Fogg to ''die'' from his interference it's chilling how quickly he rallies to take advantage of the situation. It's no coincidence that Fogg GrewASpine once he was separated from Bellamy for a while.

* Kneedling. Is there anything more horrifying than having a CorruptCop gunning for you, one who is not afraid to abuse their position or endanger your life to achieve their goals?

!!Episode 4:

* Passpartout drugging Fogg's tea. He clearly regrets it almost immediately, but it's too late. Because Passpartout gave into his anger for a moment, Fogg almost dies.

* Fogg's MushroomSamba. ''He's'' having a great time; it's everyone else who's freaking out as he nearly dies from datura poisoning.

* Abigail using what Fogg told her while delirious in her article, without a thought for his privacy or that she's taking advantage of a sick man.

!!Episode 5:

* The chief administrator of a foreign occupying force sees nothing at all wrong with breaking open a grave and stealing jewellery from the bodies inside. Attempts by the deceased's family to have their stolen property returned are unheeded, forcing them to turn to crime to right the wrong.

* Fogg is sentenced to a dozen lashes for a crime he didn't commit, and is treated as if he's being naive for demanding a trial.

!!Episode 6:

* Ambrose Abernathy, head of the UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan. Views African Americans as subhuman and sees nothing wrong with killing them for fun, views Abigail as essentially property that must be controlled by men and hates Fogg for not sharing his views, which are all the more horrifying for being TruthInTelevision.
