* Weird Girl accidentally electrocuting Mr. Whiskers. Despite the popular fan interpretation that he is pure evil, imagine what Weird Girl must have been thinking upon realizing her beloved cat may very well be dead, and then imagine her reaction to watching her once-fluffy friend mutate into a hideous beast and fly out the window while clawing and hissing at her. Criminy.

* Mr.Rzykruski being fired because he cannot fully explain himself and the adults(apart from Victors parents)being close minded and afraid of science. Being an immigrant, he cannot properly explain what he means in a way that the parents understand and things are lost in translation. He says words like "ignorant"when referring to the parents or says that he is trying to broaden the children's minds, and that he wishes to "crack open their heads". The fact that he was the teacher that fully supports Victor as a scientist(and helped him come up with the experiment to bring Sparky back and understand why Edgar's fish disappeared), this only makes this more tragic, as he never saw what Victor accomplished.
