* When S.A.R.A.H. started to ''melt'' in "One Small Step..." (it MakesSenseInContext) and told Carter that it was actually ''hurting'' her. The way she said it, in that meek little whimper. That moment really tore at my heart strings.

This causes Zoe to briefly contemplate that she might have been responsible for her parents breaking up. It's played off as a joke a couple seconds later, but still.

* Jo interacting with Zane after [[spoiler: the timeline shift]]. For her its basically like the man she loved, and who loved her, has died, and she has to face the ghost of him every day. Every single time she has to be near him, you can see the pain on her face.

Zane (who's lounging in a jail cell) just looks at her, then bursts out laughing. "Me marry you? In what universe?" He chuckles as he reads and the camera focuses on a stunned Jo realizing that she and Zane never even dated.
