** In general, every time Mr. Uno was ever saddened whenever Numbuh One angrily snaps and rejects a chance to spend time becomes HarsherInHindsight when one realizes Nigel's father is Numbuh Zero. You see in his days, Numbuh Zero and his brother didn't have such a happy childhood and lived under the (literally) tyrannical rule of Grandfather. In other words, Nigel doesn't know ''how good he has it'', growing up with a kindly, supportive father like Monty.

* The rapid fall of the KND as Grandfather's Senior Citi-zombies spread throughout the world is truly the DarkestHour for them.
* Numbuh Zero purposefully broke the Recommissioning Module before being decommissioned so that he could finish the most important mission in his life: being a good father to his son, Numbuh One.
** On a similar note, there's a brief moment shortly before Numbuh One realizes who he really is and initially recommissions him where he's dejectedly looking down after Numbuh One tells him to shut up for being a distraction and a BumblingDad when the former is trying to save them. You can tell how heartbroken he is to hear his son get mad at him for trying to spend some quality time together.
** In [[GrandFinale "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S."]], he somehow gets recommissioned again so he can say goodbye to his son.

* Father's failed, rather deflated attempt at confronting Grandfather, if for no other reason than the fact that it's eerily reminiscent of RealLife abuse victims attempting to confront their abusers.
* Numbuh One having no choice but to [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight fight]] his brainwashed teammates, and his ultimately failed attempts to reach out to the real them until he uses Numbuh Two's upgraded Birthday Suits.

Numbuh One having no choice but via the broken recommissioning module is both heartfelt and heartbreaking, saying that while he might not remember what he did, he wants to [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight fight]] go on his brainwashed teammates, greatest mission: being a father to his son.
