* The [[spoiler: Diosa Massacre. When the Sons burst through the doors only to find all the girls there, and any clients that were there as well, all brutally killed by the Lin Triad.]] Even worse when you realize that [[spoiler: all of these poor girls who were friendly and nice to the Sons all died for Gemma's lies and twisted parody of family love.]] One can only hope that some of the ones the audience got to know didn't call into work that day...

* So in 'Los Fantasma', we learn that Nero's gang is catching heat from a rival crew. When Samcro meets up with them, some nameless guy tries to run them down and ends up killing one of the chicano gang members. When they track the guy down, they learn that he isn't part of a rival crew, [[spoiler: he's just a father in mourning to one of the kids that was killed in the school shooting Samcro and Nero's crew indirectly caused. The Sons spare his life, but the cops arrive shortly after. When they enter his house, he's holding a kitchen knife while staring at a picture of his son. After a moment, he drives the knife right into his throat and ends his own suffering.

* After showing that he understands that "people are always getting hurt" and that he recognizes that death is a bad thing, Abel takes a hammer and stands guard over his brother Thomas, saying that he won't let anyone hurt him. Then, after demanding to Wendy and Gemma that he wants to go home, he starts hitting the walls with the hammer, saying "Take me home now!". He stops only when he hears Thomas cry, and apologizes for scaring him. Bare in mind that Abel is in preschool, so the idea that a toddler is feeling the need to defend his infant brother from "bad men" with a hammer is saddening. A child that young should never need to worry about these kinds of things...
