* Several for Steven, such as accidentally making Lars cry by getting too "in character", then being told by Amethyst that [[InnocentlyInsensitive he's a bad person]], but some for Amethyst as well, such as the fact that she feels so controlled and unable to do anything she wants. And, and worst of all, we learn that despite her overwhelming self assuredness, [[BeneaththeMask she really does take all the criticisms Pearl and Garnet give her to heart.]]

* Near the end, with Steven blaming himself for trapping them in the dungeon. (He touched something he shouldn't have.) He says it's "just like the teacups" with him wanting to do something and everyone paying for it when it all falls apart. This led to a EurekaMoment, though, so it's not all bad.

***Greg and Rose's relationship is a Tearjerker in and of itself. Even if birthing Steven hadn't killed her it would have been sad. Crystal Gems are implied to live much longer than humans so the other option for them was Rose watching Greg slowly die in front of her while being powerless to do anything about it.
