** Pike takes precautions to ensure that, in the event of his death (untimely or otherwise), Very Bad Things will occur that will leave people too imperiled to even consider the mere thought of feeling happy about his demise, let alone organize an actual celebration.

** Its all a sign that [[ToxicFrindInflence Pike's presence]] has taken its toll on the FiveManBand and turned them much more callous.

* '''Played For Drama''': It takes a serious case of LackOfEmpathy to perform this without a single ounce of regret, doubly so if they can't at least wait until they are away from the public eye before starting, and as a result at least one member of the cast or the other funeral goers will be ''completely horrified'' by this act.
