* Once JB promises to burn the scroll map if any harm comes to the Hardys and friends after his buyer threatens them and refuses to continue working for said buyer anymore, they send a literal small army of goons, led by Quill, to his apartment while Joe, Frank, Phil, and Biff are there. Luckily, JB sees the cars just as he was pulling a ScrewThisImOuttaHere and goes back to save the kids JustInTime and hide them in his safe room, but it's not pleasant to think about what fate awaited JB and/or the Hardy Gang if Quill and co. had caught them, especially considering Quill himself is mercilessly shot to death later by his boss with no hesitation after they find him BoundAndGagged in that same apartment.

** JB knocks out Quill and leaves him for his boss to find, luring them there to find out who they are. Instead, he can only watch in horror over his security cams as the cloaked woman shoots Quill dead with no hesitation while he's BoundAndGagged and struggling on the floor. JB clearly did not expect this and didn't mean to get Quill killed, and it proves that the villains are even more ruthless than he realized.
** Unfortunately, JB did see the Olivia's face on the camera, but is forced to leave without the tape of security footage before she finds and kills him too...only for her to track him to the pool bar where he's supposed to meet the Hardys. He clearly thought meeting in public would give them some level of safety, but nope; Olivia doesn't care, and shoots him to death in front of Frank, Joe, and dozens of other patrons.
** How horrifying this must be from JB's and the Hardys' perspectives. JB sees the boys walking toward him, and then spots the cloaked woman, a known dangerous murderer, coming up right behind them and raising her gun while they have no idea. Even though he's probably aware ''he's'' her real target, he won't risk her shooting them to get to him, and rushes forward to [[TakingTheBullet take the bullet for them]], knowing as he does it that this is the end for him.
** And since JB is gripping Joe's shoulders from turning him away from the killer when he gets shot, Joe literally ''feels'' his body jerk from it. And then JB dies in his arms while Frank can only watch the whole thing in StunnedSilence. When they get back to JB's apartment, Joe has JB's dried blood all over his hands, as he tries to wipe it off with tears in his eyes. No wonder the poor kid's so traumatized.
* Drew's first EvilPlan we hear about--using microchips to exert MindControl on the whole world--is this even though it turns out to be AllJustADream within her simulation and not actually the real plan.
** Considering that there are Sparewell microchips in technology all around the world, it's major ParanoiaFuel that ordinary household items like microwaves, televisions, and the likes can have their technology suddenly hijacked to brainwash you.
** Laura is also shown (in the sim world) to have been totally BrainwashedAndCrazy by a chip put into her brain and, when telling the boys about what happened to her, states with some subdued horror that she's been forced to do terrible things under its influence. And when they confront Drew, she tries to hijack the chip again to force Laura to commit her most horrible crimes yet: murder her own sons. Thank goodness the chip was deactivated by then and it didn't actually work.
* Then when the Hardys find out what Drew's ''real'' plan is, it's even ''more'' horrifying: using the Crystal and the Core as a combined power source to launch a worldwide ImmersiveSim VR so powerful, it's pretty much a LotusEaterMachine. Even worse, for a few minutes, ''she succeeds''.
** Even the prototype version of it seen in "At the Old House", powered with just a small fragment of the Crystal from Drew's necklace, is already very powerful. It's revealed that Fenton has been trapped inside of it since ''the end of Season 2'', and was never able to notice it despite the increasing discrepancies in the world around him until his sons figure it out and get him to see it. And they were only able to do this themselves thanks to still having some traces of the Eye's power left in them that made them more easily able to spot AGlitchInTheMatrix; otherwise, the three of them may have been stuck there forever, unable to stop Drew from enacting the full version.
** Even though it's a pretty clear BaitAndSwitch since the series [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt would never kill its two main characters]], it's still unnerving to see Drew's TheBadGuyWins scenario inside the simulation: she shoots the Hardy Boys dead and just goes upstairs to give herself a DancePartyEnding for succeeding with her plan, before Chet's and Callie's separate arrivals clue her in that she's in the sim.
* After escaping the prototype sim, one of the very first things the Hardys find is a ''literal'' skeleton in a closet. They conclude that it's George's body; apparently, after it was rendered catatonic from George putting his mind in the Crystal, it just got ''left there''. It makes sense he couldn't be given an official burial since he was supposedly killed in a plane crash at sea, but instead of even just putting it in an unmarked grave somewhere, it was stuck in a closet to rot away completely for 25 years.
* Drew turning on and killing Olivia, her own sister. While it was certainly pretty obvious that the Sparewell sisters don't have the same warm, trusting relationship that the Hardy brothers do--not surprising considering both women are psychopaths--it's still very sudden, as one second they seem to be sharing a heartwarming moment and sisterly hug, only for Drew to snatch Olivia's gun. She's revealed to have been [[HiddenDisdainReveal harboring some resentment towards her sister]] for years, and when Olivia's attempts to talk her down just end up [[DiggingYourselfDeeper solidifying Drew's feelings even more]], she murders her sister, her last remaining ally, in cold blood.

* Though it's soon revealed to be [[AllJustADream just a vision from the Eye]], the scene with Frank and Joe in George's SecretRoom in "A Clue on Film" is pretty scary. Joe hears a noise outside and steps out to close the bookcase door, and then Frank hears sounds of him struggling and goes to check it out. He sees a bearded guy holding Joe and putting a razor to his neck, flanked by two others in Bridgeport Demon costumes, and shouts for them not to hurt his brother. Joe tells him to shut the locking door so they can't get him too, but the thugs in the demon costumes try to break in by force, causing the whole thing to explode and kill him. It's unclear what, exactly, the Eye is trying to tell Frank with this vision considering that the "bearded man" turns out to be the latest disguise of JB, who wouldn't hurt Joe, tries to ''warn'' the boys instead, and has nothing to do with the culprits in demon costumes from the next episode; however, it's still frightening, and Frank is shaken up by it.
