* Episode 30 is tough to watch for fans of Francis. When he and Nadja are talking, some homeless orphans throw rocks at him, accusing him of bringing their orphanage to ruin. It turns out that some time before, Francis made a donation to said orphanage thinking things would be fine and dandy. Unbeknownst to him or the children, the second the director received the donation, he became greedy and decided to take off with it, leaving for parts unknown. With no one to run the orphanage, it shut down and became nothing more than abandoned ruins, leaving the children without a home to return to. Francis is horrified when he learns the truth, and the children are convinced that Francis somehow ''corrupted'' their beloved director—even though Francis [[InsaneTrollLogic had no way of knowing the director's true colors beforehand]]—and hold him responsible for it all. Later, Francis tries to put bricks on the remains of the orphanage in the rain, completely devastated by [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom what his attempt at philanthropy has done to these poor kids.]]
