* Norm’s DisneyDeath, with Amanda desperately making a wish for him to be free of the lamp, and trying to snap his fingers for him when he himself is too weak to manage it. He succeeds in granting the wish and revives, but it was ''extremely'' close.

* [[OriginalCharacter Ama]][[ShrinkingViolet nda's]] entire situation, from her [[ParentalNeglect par]][[AbusiveParent ents]] to her lack of self-esteem and self-worth, her life just makes you sad.
* When Timmy reveals the [[ManipulativeBastard truth]] about [[JerkassGenie Norm]] and their [[WesternAnimation/FairlyOddparents history]] together, Amanda's low self-worth leads her to believe that he only stayed around her because he ''had'' to and that he didn't like her. Since she spent most of her life believing that she didn't deserve friends and that no one would want to be around her anyway, her reaction is pretty natural. Thank goodness Norm convinces her otherwise.
* At Christmas, Amanda makes handmade presents for everyone, but her [[ParentalNeglect par]][[AbusiveParent ents]] essentially ignore the gifts and the gesture beyond being vaguely annoyed by her bothering them and making sure she isn't wasting their money on junk. They are so callous they [[MoralEventHorizon manage to make her cry on Christmas morning]] as she hurries out the door. This is the final straw for [[PapaWolf Norm]], who immediately gives the pair the flu in retaliation.



* Elmer starts to feel like he's drifting away from [[ThoseTwoGuys Sanjay]] after [[spoiler: Trixie starts spending time with him]]. That leaves Elmer with only Bob the Boil as company...
* When facing down[[spoiler: [[EldritchAbomination Bob]],]] things don't go well for the heroes. Specifically, [[spoiler:Norm's [[AchillesHeel lava lamp]] breaks]], which is already established as being [[spoiler:fatal to genies]]...
** The worst part is Amanda's reaction to the entire thing. She's desperate to save him. And when it looks like [[spoiler: she failed and Norm died]], it was heart-breaking. [[spoiler: Thank goodness he was OnlyMostlyDead.]]
* The initial two-thirds of the [[spoiler: DistantFinale]] final chapter. It really brings into focus the potential heart-ache caused by [[spoiler:[[MayflyDecemberFriendship Amanda's]] [[InterspeciesFriendship mortality]].]]

* Even if Remy is a jerk, his situation is [[NotSoDifferent really similar]] to Amanda's, and even [[EvenEvilHasStandards Norm]] feels bad for him.

* The moment when Timmy is literally without options to save Amanda from being killing by Anti-Cosmo and HP, well-aware that they're only doing it because they want to crush him further. Timmy literally ''breaks'' in despair.

Added DiffLines:

* When Jorgen somberly reflects on [[MayFlyDecemberFriendship Norm and Amanda's relationship]], feeling it would be better for Norm to leave Amanda soon or he will have to see her growing up, growing ''old'' and leave him forever. Because that's always what happens to a fairy's godchild, and Norm basically ''is'' Amanda's magical godfather.

* Even if Remy is a jerk, his situation is [[NotSoDifferent really similar]] to Amanda's, and even [[EvenEvilHasStandards Norm]] feels bad for him.
* Amanda's [[ParentalNeglect par]][[AbusiveParent ents]] say right in front of her that they hate having her around. Before, Amanda merely [[HeroicSelfDeprecation accepted]] that they didn't like spending money and time on her, but their words [[MoralEventHorizon hurt her enough to make her cry]] just like on Christmas morning. After [[PapaWolf Norm]] sends her off to Timmy's house, he really lays into them.
