** The sheer amount of things that [[ForWantOfANail could have prevented Jester from reviving Caduceus]] is ''staggering''. She only had ''one'' third level spell slot left because of her Pearl of Power, the diamond she needed was the same diamond she nearly lost in the arena fight one session earlier, and none of it would have mattered if she did not have Revivify prepared, since it needs to be cast within a minute of the recipient's death.

** Lucien also gets increasingly angrier and more ruthless, his behavior at times devolving into that of a rampaging beast. Those who piss him off the most face the brunt of it -- Caleb is nearly crushed to death when Lucien picks up the top half of the tower he was standing on and throws it at Essek, and Jester ''is'' killed during the fight when Lucien stabs her through the torso with his bladed wings, followed by a struggle to get her body over to Caduceus before it is devoured by Cognouza.
*** It has by this point become apparent that Molly is fully conscious inside Lucien's mind, and is ForcedToWatch as Lucien stabbed Jester to death. It's notable that watching Jester die is, apart from the HDYWTDT, the only thing that allowed Molly to gain enough control over their body to do some actual damage, as his response to this is to bring their hand up and rake their clawed fingers across Lucien's face.
** As awesome as Lucien's defeat is, it is equally horrific. When Jester deals the final blow, Lucien staggers back, losing control just long enough for Molly to take over... and ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe rip their shared body in half]].''
** After Lucien is killed, the party needs to separate him from Cognouza... which they do by literally ''cutting him out of it''. They have no idea what the fuck happened to the body when Lucien merged it with Cognouza, and are obviously relieved that he still has legs in there.

** As the Nein are evacuating the Brennatos and the Clays, Caduceus and Calliope abruptly realize that Kingsley -- two hours old, severely under-leveled, and with no idea who Trent is or what he's capable of -- is nowhere to be found. He turns out to be fine, but there's a sincere worry he may be stuck in the burning house, or try to attack a mage who could destroy him in an instant.

** Lucien also gets increasingly angrier and more ruthless, his behavior at times devolving into that of a rampaging beast. Those who piss him off the most face the brunt of it -- Caleb is nearly crushed to death by a tower Lucien collapses onto him, and Jester is killed during the fight when Lucien impales her on his bony wings, followed by her body nearly being consumed by Cognouza.

** After Lucien is killed, the party needs to separate him from Cognouza... which they do by literally ''cutting him out of it''. And until Matt clarifies that he still has legs in there, the Nein had no way of knowing what they were cutting into.

* Lucien's form as the Neo Somnovem was pretty freaky, but his second Appearance is absolutely grotesque, with him fused to the flesh city by thick tendrils coming from the lower half of his body, which are covered in eyes and mouths.
** While it leads up to a sweet moment, after Lucien is killed, the party needs to separate him from Cognouza as he is still attached to it- which they do by literally ''cutting him out of it''.

** As the Nein are evacuating the Brennatos and the Clays, Caduceus and Calliope abruptly realize that Kingsley -- two hours old, severely under-leveled, and with no idea who Trent is or what he's capable of -- is nowhere to be found.

* [[AndIMustScream Trent's fate after he's brought before court]]. Forever having his hands bound, unable to move, unable to talk, being force-fed, leaving him with nothing but his thoughts about how badly he failed and what he'd done to Caleb and his other students. [[AssholeVictim Not that Trent didn't have it coming]], but that doesn't dampen how terrifying the prospect is of that kind of imprisonment.

* The Mighty Nein have saved the world, and are resting at the Blooming Grove when Trent calls Caleb to meet him outside. Now.

'''Taliesin:''' Nine entities that don't like eachother, and now we just have ''one'' that [[MagnificentBastard really likes themselves.]]

* The end of the episode. Lucien enters the Somnovem's chamber and thanks the Nein for keeping them distracted... while he places ten intuit charges at his own feet. Intuit charges deal psychic damage, but while Lucien is immune, the Somnovem, as beings of pure thought, are ''not.'' It quickly becomes clear that Lucien didn't just want to work with the Somnovem, he wanted to ''kill them'' and [[TheStarscream take control of Cognouza himself]]. The very end of the episode is the Nein sprinting back up the tunnel to try to get out of range, [[EvilLaugh Lucien's shrieking laughter]] following them as the city shakes itself apart trying to kill him... and then the charges go off, and everything falls silent as the Somnovem die. Even after Matt ends the episode, the cast is left in StunnedSilence, trying to process just how ''fucked'' they are.
-->'''Travis:''' I can't tell if it's worse or not. I thought for a moment there we were gonna be fighting Lucien and nine entities in a lair action situation... and now I don't know ''where'' we are.\\

* More of the Somnovem make their appeareances, and they are absolutely terrifiying and alien: Each embodies an emotion which shapes their goals and powers. For example, the Somonvem of joy, Gaudius, wants to bring joy and love to all with world by connecting them... to the Cognouza-hivemind. Their own existence is rather cruel, too: fused together with eigth other beings each, which they in part mistrust, fear, or hate, and, when thusly forced together, robbed of their own will: instead speaking as one, the Somnovem Omega.

** It's only after Cree is killed that the Nein realize what he meant by that - Veth, Caduceus and Fjord are now marked with red eyes as well.

* An old woman who talks with the Nein has her legs broken as she approaches, and when the conversation is finished, she melts into a puddle of goop that quickly vanishes.

* When the elemental guardian uses a wide-ranged attack, the [=NPCs=] are caught up as well. Yeza was just out of range, and Marion is a tiefling and thus has resistance to fire... but Luc's pool of hitpoints is so small that even though he made his saving throw, he died ''instantly''. The worst part is, Team Plane Shift doesn't see this right away because they are hiding behind a bookcase, so their first sign that something has gone horribly wrong is when Marion starts to scream bloody murder.

* Marion, Yeza, and Luc are caught up in the fight between Team Plane Shift and the elemental guardian. When the guardian uses a wide-ranged attack everyone is caught in the fire including the [=NPCs=]. Luc eventually takes enough damage to kill him (thankfully Caduceus has enough magic left for a Revivify).
