** During their first training camp, the group listens to a tape recorded by the previous members of the light-music club. When it switches over to Side B, it plays a voice clip (later revealed to be from Sawako) that leaves Mio cowering in fear. Ritsu, as usual, continues to frighten her which results in Mio utterly breaking down before ending up in a TroubledFetalPosition and crying in terror. It's really saying something when even before Yui and Mugi point it out, Ritsu realized she took it too far.

* The end of episode 20 of the second season. The girls just sit under the windows of their club room late in the day after their ''last'' live performance, and acknowledge they will no longer be a band after they graduate. Any form of sadness that the second season held behind a dam underneath the cheery, cute, colorful exterior comes falling down. The impact of this scene loses weight when all four seniors later pass the entrance exams so they go to the same university together, but it's still dramatic.

* And the seiyuu also teared up a bit at the end of their RealLife concert! Creator/KyoAni probably took some cues...

** To make it even worse, according to the same [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11262&page=25 source]], Bice passed away on [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-07-30/japanese-singer/composer-bice-passes-away July 26]]. EP 17 debuted on July 27: the next day.

Even worse, Nodoka shows up right when Sawako removes Mio's pants. Mio is then shown sobbing about how "no one will ever marry her now".
