--> '''[[spoiler: Jack:]]''' Wow, that's... legitimately creepy.

** It should be noted that Vasquez's threat even manages to [[SeriousBusiness creep]] ''[[spoiler: Jack]]'' out! The man who has no problems [[spoiler: shooting people in the face, throwing them out of airlocks, strangling them or torturing them to death ''is creeped out by Vasquez.'']]

'''Episode 2 Trailer:'''
* ''Something'' is clearly wrong with Athena. First off, she's shown throwing her shield at Sasha and Fiona with an inhuman roar, and second of all, her eyes are...[[http://i.imgur.com/PlK0j4w.png off.]]

* August is now [[StalkerWithACrush absolutely in love]] with Sasha, but doesn't have any issues with holding her hostage. His DissonantSerenity just makes things worse. [[spoiler: Fortunately, though, he isn't even mad about the con, and is a lot more moral than Vasquez, who promises to make a wallet out of your head once he skins you.]]

* August has become [[StalkerWithACrush obsessed]] with Sasha, but doesn't have any issues with holding her hostage. His DissonantSerenity just makes things worse.

* Early in the episode, Fiona has to access a retinal scanner by digging out the eyeball of General Pollux, whose body is nearby. Firstly, Sasha has a tendency to describe what's happening in graphic detail, much to Fiona's disgust. Secondly, [[spoiler:Fiona ends up splitting one eye in half after being startled by Rhys screaming]]. Thirdly, by the time she's accessed the retinal scanner and viewed Pollux's recorded message, [[spoiler:it turns out he was alive all along, just in suspended animation, even while Fiona was digging his eyes out with a spork. And he might have been an important figure in the event of the universe being in peril. NiceJobBreakingItHero.]]

* When Rhys complains to [[spoiler: Jack]] about the billions of people who died as a result of his rule, [[spoiler: Jack]] proceeds to [[VoiceOfTheLegion yell]] "[[Series/{{Sherlock}} THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO!]]"

* When Rhys complains to [[spoiler: Jack]] about the potential deaths that will occur, [[spoiler: Jack]] proceeds to [[VoiceOfTheLegion yell]] "[[Series/{{Sherlock}} THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO!]]"

** Quickly becomes NightmareRetardant when Fiona, playing the LemonyNarrator, [[spoiler: basically says getting shot right between the eyes was what WOULD have happened if she, y'know, didn't close the door in time. And thus, of course, it DIDN'T happen because she's still very alive and well when she was giving her narration, thank you very much.]]

* [[{{Jerkass}} Vasquez's]] EstablishingCharacterMoment, while mostly Funny in just [[CardCarryingVillain how much he gleefully embodies being a]] CorruptCorporateExecutive (who's also TheRival to Rhys to boot), he quickly vaults into this territory when he begins to make {{DeathThreat}}s of how he'll basically murder Rhys if he even thinks about getting in his way. Then it quickly jumps FromBadToWorse when [[OhCrap Rhys sees the body of Henderson]] (Vasquez's predecessor, [[KlingonPromotion who Vasquez murdered by having him]] ThrownOutTheAirlock) [[DramaticSpaceDrifting floating by the window]]. While Vasquez immediately does a LampshadeHanging of how the moment appropriately matched his warning, [[NightmareFace Henderson's horrified expression]] definitely proves Vasquez isn't joking about his threat in the slightest - cross him, and he'll kill you in the most painful, horrifying way possible.

* Both of [[spoiler:Shade]]'s appearences are {{Jumpscare}}s: Once detailed above, and secondly when [[spoiler:Fiona is opening the vent to sneak into the business deal and attach the EMP to the case containing the fake Vault Key. It should be noted that you have the option to smack him for this.]]

* [[http://imgur.com/xWeCkeh This]] is what happens if you [[spoiler: don't close the door in time when August tries to enter the caravan.]]

* [[spoiler:Handsome Jack being reborn as a VirtualGhost. Rhys begins [[HearingVoices hearing Jack's increasingly-less distorted voice]] taunting him and messing with his cybernetics when he shoves Nakayama's ID drive into the side of his head. He fully manifests for the first time at the end of the episode, putting a friendly arm over Rhys and Fiona's shoulders while telling them he plans to kill them eventually. Rhys jumps and the episode cuts to black.]]

* The rows of display cases of dead figures when Rhys passes through the museum on their way to August. Especially when you later walk back from checking the door, and find that [[spoiler:the second guy you passed is suddenly missing. Cue JumpScare.]]
** [[spoiler: Made slightly worse by the fact that the guy is Shade, from the Scarlett DLC from Borderlands 2 - still with his dry cracked lips, deranged grin and off-putting lazy eye.]]
** The exhibits themselves aren't actually too bad...then you get to Cyborg!Steele.
*** Which for explanation is a [[spoiler: Siren with a missing part of her torso. It's bad enough she died but then to be trussed up as one of Shade's toys is terrible.]]
* A JumpScare occurs when Fiona is opening the vent with [[spoiler: Shade again]]. Thankfully, you can smack him.
* Sort of crossing over with Awesome and Funny, but Holo!Jack's appearance at the end of the teaser trailer, laughing hysterically about how so many people are going to die in this insanity could qualify.
** Similarly, [[spoiler:when Holo!Jack fully manifests for the first time at the end of episode one, putting a friendly arm over Rhys and Fiona's shoulders while telling them he's going to kill them. Rhys's [[JumpScare reaction]] is totally understandable.]]
