4	----
5	* Widely considered the very high point of the show:
6	-->'''Zoe:''' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgUf9hlTnnU You can't tell me what to do, you ain't my mother!]]"
7	-->'''Kat:''' "[[FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo YES I AM]]!"
8	* When Zainab comes to beg Phil for money and ends up insulting him, he then turns the tide by insulting her. When her response is to smack him one across the face, Phil just blocks her arm and continues to insult her until she is forced to retreat.
9	* Zainab herself qualifies after being pushed too far by {{Domestic Abuse}}r Yusef, first [[VillainousBreakdown reducing him to sobbing wreck]] with a merciless TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, when he later tries to torch Masood in return and ''gloats cruelly about it'' she lies that [[PapaWolf his daughter]] [[OhCrap is in the burning building]], luring him to a very KarmicDeath.
10	-->'''Zainab''': Masood has Kamil! You've lost, you miserable, pathetic man. And it makes me laugh that now you must kneel in the Mosque and beg Allah for forgiveness! You are a sick, evil, deranged man, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking I HATE YOU!]]
11	* Phil vs. Derek on 25/4/2012.
12	* Matthew Rose's RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Steve Owen after the latter framed him for Saskia Duncan's murder. Matthew's actor, Joe Absolom, left the show partly because he believed the storyline was a ToughActToFollow and wanted to leave on a high note. And boy, did he.
13	* The car chase in 2002 with Phil Mitchell and Steve Owen which culminated in Owen's death.
14	* Peggy pushing Chrissie into Den's open grave. Also counts as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}.
15	--> '''Peggy:''' Tell Den you're sorry!
16	* Billy Mitchell carrying the 2012 Olympic flame on 23/7/2012.
17	* Phil and Sharon's rescue of Dennis, Jr. on 14/8/2012.
18	* Lola finally giving Alexa what she deserves on the 5th of October, 2012.
19	* 8/10/2012: After Tanya goes too far on criticising Lola's capabilities as a mother, Cora gives her a big TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about how ashamed she is of her daughter.
20	* Back in 2000 to 2002 there was "Little Mo" Mitchell who was repeatedly abused by her then-husband Trevor. Any time she stood up to him was brilliant because she was clearly scared out of her mind. The most famous one is when she snapped in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNp2lAmVtz0 2001 New Year's Eve episode]] and smashed him across the face with an iron.
21	** When he eventually tries to get her back [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x2WnOIKlT4 in the 2002 Hallowe'en episode]], where she told him she wouldn't take it anymore.
22	-->'''Little Mo:''' "What's wrong, Trevor? [[MeaningfulEcho Cat got your tongue?]]
23	* 13/11/2012: Alice and Ray standing up to Alexa, completed by an IronicEcho.
24	* 26/11/2012: Derek saving Joey and Lauren from a burning shop after they have a car crash.
25	* For all he did to Ben, you have to credit Phil's RoaringRampageOfRevenge when he finds out his fiancée [[PsychopathicWomanchild Stella]] had been physically abusing him. When he doesn't get the satisfaction of wrapping his hands around her neck when she threatens to jump off a chapel roof, he goes back to TranquilFury mode and hits her with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech so devastatingly on-target [[DrivenToSuicide that it leads her to just do it anyway]].
26	-->'''Phil''': Quit dragging me into your sick games. ''I ain't an eleven-year-old boy you can bully!''
27	-->'''Stella''': [[NeverMyFault I'm not a bully!]]
28	-->'''Phil''': Nah. You? You're ''nothing.'' (…) [[WouldHurtAChild You don't love bullying kids 'cause you don't get your own way!]]
29	* A darker one, but when Carl tries to abuse Ronnie physically (even going on sexually) in the garage and foolishly thinks Ronnie is petrified after all the abuse of her past, she snaps and slams the car door down on Carl's neck when he leans toward it screaming "BASTARD!", killing him outright and ending his spree of terror in the square.
30	* 25/12/2014: Mick beating the everlasting shit out of Dean for raping Linda. If Shirley hadn't intervened, Mick would have certainly beaten Dean to death.
31	* Buster making it clear that if Dean tries to contact him, Shirley, or Jade from prison again, he will make his life hell.
32	-->'''Buster:''' "I gut fish for a living, remember? [[BadassBoast Nothing escapes my grip.]]
33	* 06/09/2016: Grant and Mark racing to Ben's rescue. Also, Ben calling out Paul's killers for their cowardice.
34	* 24/01/2017: The majority of the Walford residents working together to lift up a ''double decker bus'' to free Martin underneath.
