*** [[spoiler: Every time Mr. Uno is saddened whenever Numbuh One angrily snaps and rejects a chance to spend time becomes HarsherInHindsight when one realizes Nigel's father is Numbuh Zero. You see in his days, Numbuh Zero and his brother didn't have such a happy childhood and lived under the (literally) tyrannical rule of Grandfather. In other words, Nigel doesn't know ''how good he has it'', growing up with a kindly, supportive father like Monty.]]

Granted Numbuh 5 was just tricking Cree and Mushi did it on purpose, but it still hits home to anyone who feels stranded from their siblings despite having been close when they were kids.

* In Operation S.N.O.W.I.N.G, Numbuh 1 ends up sick when it happens to be a snow day. The first time he is seen in the episode is him sadly looking out the window and whining about how unfair it. The fact he sounds close to crying just makes it all the more upsetting.

** For the entire episode, the two are at each other's throats. While Chad's reason for his belligerence isn't exactly clear until the finale, Nigel's reason is obvious: he wants to understand why one of his closest friends, a boy who had been mentor and ally to him, betrayed him and the KND -- a question Chad ''refuses'' to answer until his life is literally hanging in the balance. What doesn't help is that it seems Chad didn't care about all the people he hurt with his actions. [[spoiler:Even learning the truth changes nothing, in the end. While Chad wasn't a traitor, all his negative qualities have eroded whatever was left of Nigel's ideal image of him, and their relationship truly is unsalvageable]].

*"Operation S.P.A.C.E", Mushi delivers a rather heartwarming speech about her sister when seeing Numbuh 5 and Cree fighting. Both look at each other for a moment.
--> Numbuh 5: W-What happened to us, Cree?
--> Cree Lincoln: I-I-I... I-I don't know. I got older... Things change...
--> Numbuh 5: You know, when you were in the Kids Next Door, I wanted to be just like you. You were the best, and I was so proud to be your sister.
Granted Numbuh 5 was just tricking Cree and Mushi did it on purpose, but it still hits home to anyone who feels stranded from their siblings despite having been close when they were kids.
** Somehow, Cree's insistence that she was going to do the same and Abigail was just faster sounds as if it's a lie and she was being ''sincere'' when lamenting that she isn't close to her sister anymore.

** This episode is rather hard on Numbuh 86. She's usually rude and aggressive, but with TheReveal that she's actually lonely on the inside and wishes she had friends, [[SourOutsideSadInside that has to hurt.]] She's genuinely heartbroken when Numbuh 12, who she thought was her friend, betrays her and the KND. When Numbuh 3 tries to reassure her by saying "We're your friends!" everyone else present [[TheFriendNobodyLikes just whistles, coughs, or looks away,]] even Numbuh 4 and Numbuh 23, who had enjoyed her company at the slumber party. To really rub it in, the episode ends with everyone but Numbuh 3 laughing at her EmbarrassingFirstName--it's more depressing than funny.

Turns out he used to be a female and she had lost what she had valued most, her beauty. Assuming Heinrich is 10 like Numbuh 5, this means Heinrich lost what he had valued most when he was only 5. At such a young age losing something that important to you would do severe psychological damage.
