** When Kevin says he doesn't want to see her again for the rest of his life, Kate noticably has a shocked and hurt look on her face. While she definately handles things badly, she's already stressed with the trip and twice the number of people in her house. That added to the fact that Kevin HAS been misbehaving frequently, it's understandable she'd have a [[ParentsAsPeople bad moment because she was hurt.]]

* Kevin gets treated like crap by his entire family; he gets insulted and berated by six different people in less than five minutes just for wanting to watch a grown-up movie, not knowing how to pack his suitcase, and asking if there's some cheese pizza he can have. The way everyone glares at him after the disaster in the kitchen is painful to watch.



* When Kevin notes he’s sick of the whole family after ending up in trouble with everyone after causing a DisasterDominoes, Kate notes maybe he should ask Santa for a different family, itself a rather cruel thing to say to someone, no less a child, before he notes he’d rather have no family and heads up to the attic. With that being the last interaction with her own son, it’s easy to see why Kate wonders what kind of Mother she is during the aftereffects of her realization below.

* Kate's MyGodWhatHaveIDone when she realizes Kevin is still at the house, alone and with no adults nearby because the whole street is on vacation, and with the phones out, there's no way to call the house. Mind she realizes it after Kevin watches the mobster movie and goes "[[IWantMyMommy MOM]]!", which seems to hint she sensed his distress thousands of miles.

* Old Man Marley's reveal to Kevin that he and his son haven't spoken to each other in years. You can tell he's holding back tears as he talks about it, and while he wants to make up with his son, he's not sure it will work. Thankfully this subplot ends up happily, as he ends up going for it and the two are reunited the next day.

** Kevin waking up on Christmas morning eagerly hoping to find his family back home, only to be heartbroken to see that the house is still empty. The scene quickly bounces back into heartwarming, however, as Kate comes in through the door just a few seconds later.

** Kevin is going to sleep in his parents' bed and gazes longingly at a portrait of his family - Kevin, his four older siblings, and their parents. Still believing that he had somehow magically made his family disappear, Kevin says that he didn't mean it and promises to never be a pain again if his family would just come back to him. One of the [[DeletedScene Deleted Scenes]] is a longer and even more touching version of this, combining Kevin's desperate plea with shots of his father and older siblings in Paris, all unable to sleep because they are so worried about Kevin (except for Buzz, who is sleeping like a log). In particular, Megan looks like she has been crying.
* After his encounter with "Santa", [[Heartwarming/HomeAlone Kevin walks by a house and sees a family enjoying Christmas together]], causing him to stare at them longingly. All while [[AwardBaitSong "Somewhere In My Memory"]] plays in the background.
