* Episode six. [[spoiler: Poor Havok...]]
* And, [[MindScrew assuming you can figure out what the hell is going on]], the last episode. [[spoiler:Amber was doing the whole thing to try to make Hei happy, and he never wanted to kill anyone in the first place.]] Perhaps also the bit after Amber [[spoiler:turns back time a couple of minutes to give Hei another chance, when we see the Syndicate ''completely ignoring'' the fact that there obviously isn't a threat in favor of trying to wipe out every contractor on the planet.]]
* The end of episode four. [[spoiler: "I'm back." "Welcome home, dads." ]]
* Kirihara in ''Shikkoku no Hana'' reaching a crime scene, saw [[spoiler:Hei and Yin entering a portal]]. Her reaction? Running there [[FutileHandReach extending a hand]] in open "wait for me!" gesture and screaming "Stop! [[spoiler:''Li-Kun!'' Li... <portal vanishes>]]". So she just stops there with a hand still thrust forward and makes such an adorable sad face that when she gets distracted by ''seeing a corpse "flung all around"'' it couldn't be as bad.

* Huang's backstory. [[spoiler:He met and fell in love with a girl, who unknown to him, was a contractor trying to find out whether he or his (working) partner was a threat to the Syndicate. It's implied that he hadn't been with many, if any, women due to his looks, and that he may have been jealous of his partner having such a lovely wife. One day, after walking back from dinner with his partner, the partner is killed by Huang's girlfriend with her brutal contractor powers, before she leaves, never giving him an explanation. When Huang meets her years later, although he realises he shouldn't still care about her, his concern for her leads to him botching the mission. He's ordered to kill her after she's helped with the follow-up mission, but she reveals that her remuneration is that she feels remorse for what she does, leading to him hesitating. Eventually, after some agonising he decides to run away from the Syndicate with her, as she has revealed that she really did fall in love with him all these years ago. Hei even agrees to let them go...and then she goes and throws herself in front of a truck, since another Syndicate agent had spotted them and would have killed the two of them if she hadn't done so.]] Makes you want to give the poor guy a hug.
