Added DiffLines:
* GrowingTheBeard: Episode 4 is viewed as where the show kicks into gear - Christina Ricci toning down her accent, Scott first using Zelda's writing, introduction to the New York party scene etc.

** The wedding episode, where Tilde storms out of the party and pretty much disowns Zelda for how the day has gone. Zelda then calls her mother and lies to say she's having a great time.
** The realisation that they've run out of money and are being evicted from the hotel. It's the first time that Scott actually snaps at Zelda, and the two have a collective OhCrap at how their wild partying has finally caught up with them.
** A small one is Tana's reaction to Zelda's party guests playing with his flute. He's clearly so hurt at an aspect of his culture being treated like a toy - and because he's just a servant, he can't say anything or complain about it.

** Although Scott gets punched for it, his ShutUpHannibal to Harvey in Episode 7.
--> '''Harvey:''' You could write ''{{Theatre/Hamlet}}'' and you'd still be a peasant.
--> '''Scott:''' Shakespeare was a peasant.
** Zelda's rather awesome way of commanding the attention at her wedding reception. [[spoiler: Walking into the room fully naked]]. She instantly clears everyone out and gets her new husband to herself.
** Zelda's performance of a dance from ''{{Theatre/Giselle}}'' in the first episode. Even more impressive since she claims she hadn't practised in weeks.
** When Scott is giving a speech at his alma mater, Princeton. He starts digging into his former professors and classmates. Zelda nonchalantly turns to one of Scott's friends and says: "He didn't fit in here, did he?". The friend soberly notes that no, he didn't.
