* As a little girl, Frankie was bullied by the other kids for living at Foster's. It wasn't until Wilt started asking [[PaperTiger Eduardo]] to walk Frankie to and from school that they finally stopped.

* Mac's mother and Terrence ([[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated sort of]]) ''died''. Mac has lost the only biological family he had left, and he's in the middle of a HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath when Frankie and Bloo get to the police station. The fact that he's taken to an orphanage and not allowed contact from Frankie, Bloo, or anyone at Foster's is another gut-punch.
* Mr. Herriman had always been a bit of a BadBoss to Frankie, but he crosses the line when he accidentally brings up her DarkAndTroubledPast as if it were no big deal.

''More Than My Friend'':
* Poor Mac already had a rough home life (DisappearedDad, [[{{Workaholic}} busy mom]], BigBrotherBully). But once Terrence gets hooked on weed and ropes his little brother into working for his dealer, things get even worse. The poor kid lives in fear for his ''life'', he's beat up constantly, and he even feels he has to dissolve some of his friendships in order to keep his brother's secret.
* Frankie ''knows'' that something is going on, and her reaction to seeing Mac being beaten up by a bunch of teenagers is as much a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome]] as it is heartbreaking.
''Falling Apart'':
* Mac's mother and Terrence ([[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated sort of]]) ''died''. Mac has lost the only biological family he had left, and he's in the middle of a HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath when Frankie and Bloo get to the police station. The fact that he's taken to an orphanage and not allowed contact from Frankie, Bloo, or anyone at Foster's is another gut-punch.
* Mr. Herriman had always been a bit of a BadBoss to Frankie, but he crosses the line when he accidentally brings up her DarkAndTroubledPast as if it were no big deal.
* Apparently, after leaving Jordan and living homeless for a while, Wilt was contemplating ''suicide''. Before he could actually go through with it, though, he saw the car accident that killed Frankie's parents, fishing her out of the car before she could be killed.
* Wilt is almost adopted (against his will) right when Frankie needs him the most.
''Wishing Only Wounds The Heart'':
* Terrence was a homeless amnesiac in all of the time since the car accident that killed his mother. Sure, he was a complete {{Jerkass}} to pretty much everyone, but it's still hard to think of a ''thirteen-year-old'' living homeless on the streets.
* Mac's reaction to seeing Terrence again after several months. The poor kid is ''hysterical''. What's worse is that neither Frankie nor Mr. Herriman believe him.
* Mac getting beaten up by Terrence and his friends just because he had the [[SarcasmMode audacity to be adopted into a healthy, stable home]].
* Mac had developed asthma, and has a heart condition that makes his condition potentially fatal. Everyone reacts to this differently, but their collective reactions are still heart-breaking.
* Mac starts ''dying'', with only Wilt being around to get him to the hospital. As if this wasn't bad enough, Wilt is told that, as he's the only family present at the moment, whether or not to terminate Mac's life is ''his'' decision.
* Terrence being reassured by Goo that Mac was never mad at him. This not only trigger's Terrence's official HeelFaceTurn, but is what convinces him to ''donate his heart'' to save Mac, a procedure [[RedemptionEqualsDeath that kills him]].
