** Raja's Jara's death and his reaction to it. Adebisi had been showing signs of making a HeelFaithTurn after Raja helped him remember his roots in Nigeria, only for Raja to be stabbed by Wangler and Poet, leaving Adebisi to lose the closest thing he had to a father in Oz.
* The execution of Donald Groves.Groves - despite having eaten his own parents, Groves himself was a fairly affable guy who clearly didn't belong in Oz, much less deserve the death penalty.
* The death of Leroy Tidd/Salah Udeen. Initially having converted to Islam for the purpose of extracting revenge on Said for killing Adebisi (in self-defense), his conversion becomes genuine as both him and Said bring out the best in each other - Udeen shaking his vengeful motivations while Said begins to move past his guilt over Adebisi's death, with Said even admitting that he knew Udeen was lying at first, but accepted him anyways. Yet when Udeen decides to go back on the deal he made with Robson and Hoyt to whack Said, Robson instead gets a new prisoner in Oz to try and shank Said, only for [[TakingTheBullet Udeen to jump in front of Said and get killed instead]]. As a result, Said's guilt worsens and [[ItsAllMyFault he blames himself for Udeen's death]].

* Adebisi desperately trying to comfort Jara as he dies, and his subsequent mental breakdown that leaves him unable to defend himself when he's framed for it.
