* KickTheDog: For a brief second, it looks like Rand deleted Reagan's memories of Orrin [[WellIntentionedExtremist because he truly believed it was best for her]]. Then he mentions that he needs her to excel so she can be his mole in Cognito Inc. if things go pear-shaped. He doesn't care about her in the slightest.

* HappyEndingOverride/DownerEnding: Thanks to Brett, Reagan is able to shut down Bear-O and prevent him from killing her colleagues. Beforehand, she learns that she once had a normal friend named Orrin back in the fourth grade, but her father Rand has been manipulating her life, to the point of erasing the boy from her memories. Having learned the truth, she finally severs ties with Rand for good... or so she thought. While everything in Cognito Inc. is back to normal the next day, Reagan is once again deprived of her CEO promotion and, with J.R. black-sited and sent to a shadow prison for embezzlement, as well as the Shadow Board's knowledge of the company's mole hunt, Rand is chosen as the new CEO.
