* In season two, there's a flashback to the day that Milady killed Athos' younger brother, and he found out that everything he knew about her (including her name) was a lie. In a broken, quiet voice, he tells Milady to make her peace with God because she must die for her crimes. As for Milady herself, it's more than obvious that she ''did'' fall in love with Athos, and her desperate screams for him to save her are the most genuine she's ever been throughout the series.

* King Louis' increasing paranoia and obvious trauma over what he's been through in season two, to the point where he barricades himself in his quarters and refuses to see anyone but Rochefort. He even brokenly confides in Rochefort that he's afraid he'll be assassinated like his father was.

* The state of Paris come season three. After four years of war with Spain, the city has grown even more dangerous and is now under the rule of the Marquis de Ferron, King Louis' natural-born older brother. The Red Guard does as they see fit, and with the more experienced Musketeers off to war, it falls to Constance and young cadets to do what they can to serve fair justice to the Parisians.

** [[spoiler: Even worse - this happens on the night of their wake for Treville. They're right in the middle of mourning the man who shaped them, raised them and trained them...and they now have no home, no base and have more men to bury.]]

* Constance on the [[spoiler: gallows. So obviously terrified, yet determined to go out with dignity.

* Aramis' reunion with Queen Anne is the epitome of bittersweet. Made even sadder when he stares at the Dauphin and realizes that [[spoiler: he's missed his son's babyhood and will most likely watch his childhood from afar.]]

* [[spoiler: Treville's death in 3.09, spending his last few moments alive making sure the young King escapes Grimaud's clutches before he's fatally shot and dies in Porthos' arms.]]
* [[spoiler: Grimaud setting off explosives in the garrison, levelling it to the ground and killing/injuring an untold number of young cadets and fellow Musketeers. D'Artagnan's frantic, desperate search for Constance in the fire adds to the sheer misery.]]

** The reason is much sadder. [[spoiler: Louis has the white plague, and has less than a year to live. The reason he's so close to the Dauphin is because he wants to spend as much time with him before he dies.]]

* King Louis driving a wedge between Queen Anne and the Dauphin by monopolizing all his time, to the point where the prince refuses his mother's kisses and instead clings to his (official) father. Dialogue between the two heavily implies Louis still hasn't forgiven Anne for her affair with Aramis, and his closeness with the Dauphin is motivated partially to take the boy away from her.

* Porthos' refusal to speak to Aramis in 3.01. He was Aramis' closest friend in the regiment, and he's still upset that it's been four years since he last saw or spoke to him. He thankfully forgives him before the episode finishes.

** They finally forgive each other in the second season premiere, and Milady tells Athos to run away with her to England, saying she will wait for him on the outskits of the city until sundown. He almost does...until Treville makes him the new Captain of the Musketeers. Torn between love and duty again, Athos chooses duty. By the time he realizes he wants to be with Milady, she's already gone. All he has to remember her by is [[TheLadysFavour her silk glove.]]

** Really Athos's entire character - he's a broken and permanently melancholy man who regularly drinks himself unconscious to try to forget his past, and has never laughed once in the entire series.
