* You might not notice it right away, but Jillian's [[archives.erfworld.com/Book%203/10 Thinkagram avatar]] doesn't actually have hearts printed on it. She has 3 heart shaped ''hollows'' on her mental form. This may be in reference to her multiple love interests, none of whom she can be with. Or it might be in reference to how Charlie once erased pieces of her mind. Or both.

** From that same story, the implication that King Scrofula disbanded his own son. For reference, croaking or disbanding a member of your family, except in the case of Disloyalty, is just as heinous in Erfworld as it is here.

** And the whole King Slately's avatar turned into a pawn. This is the first time someone else was transformed during Charley's thinkagrams besides Charley. He doesn't even seem to notice the implication that he is being played...

* Later on, Wanda states that the process she devised for breaking prisoners was the kinder option. Debatable, but once the full extent of Olive Branch's plans and manipulations come to light, it can certainly seem like it. It's just being touched upon, but Olive's plans nearly broke the world as much as Parson is, and she's not even from another dimension. Wanda describes he greatest crime as finding a way to weaponize peace, such that it leaves people addicted junkies incapable of rational thought and is slowly hollowing out the territory Olive controls, leaving the cities practically ghost towns. The entire thing ends up being an even crueler twist on TheWizardOfOz than {{Wicked}} was, if that seems possible. Above everything else, the whole section with Jillian wandering around the Haffaton capital being dimly aware she's blissed out of her gourd and observing the bizarre nature of the city is just plain creepy.

"The comedy is finished," said Dunkin [=McClown=] faintly, then he folded in on himself and vanished with only a little thump: the sound of the room's air rushing together to fill the void.

* In [[http://www.erfworld.com/2013/10/inner-peace-through-superior-firepower-episode-081/ "Inner Peace (Through Superior Firepower) - Episode 81"]], Jillian is being cured from her flower addiction by Charlie and Betsy... But it soon dawns on her that ''both'' of them aren't stopping with just that, and have an hidden agenda. Charlie himself manifests in Jillian's minds as a ''swarm of insects'', infiltrating every piece of her mind, something which disturbs her to no end. She tries to scream, but she can't: [[AndIMustScream she is the prisoner of her own mind]]. When she finally finds a way to revolt, Betsy and Charlie manage to catch and destroy the jester, an entity whose role isn't very clear but who always helped Jillian in the past. After he's defeated, he's devoured by Charlie's swarm, and then they proceed to tear up her own mind, until they destroy her comprehension of the situation itself. She realizes that this is worse than croaking, and even considers this even worse than losing her own side, but it's too late. She's suffering a FateWorseThanDeath through MindRape.

* A poor red-shirt that is stuck in the fire with Parson got to personally watch two of his friends fall to their deaths. That isn't too bad until his HEAD is set on fire and he lives. The 59th text update shows his head after the fire is put out. [[http://www.erfworld.com/book-2-archive/?px=%2F2013-05-18.png Just scroll down to the bottom]] [[SchmuckBait to see his burns.]]

During the whole scene, Charlie's appearance keeps changing, each one of them being a major villain ([[StarWars Emperor Palpatine]], [[DoctorDoom Dr. Doom]], [[TheMatrix Mr. Smith]]...). In the end, Charlie shows his true colors, delivering this line while assuming the appearance of [[TheJoker The Joker]] (from Christopher Nolan's film), talking about Parson:

Bonus points from the fact that Charlie said "kill", not "croak".
