----
* Cordelia finding out that she's infertile. She's clearly devastated, and when not even Marie Laveau will help because of how Fiona disrespected her, she's completely broken.
* Cora, the mother of the boy killed by racists, talking about her son going to the new desegregated school.
* [=FrankenKyle=] returns to Misty. She gives him a bath, but he starts to have flashbacks about what his mother did to him. Misty tries to calm him down, but he keeps screaming and yelling, until finally he breaks her radio, at which point she calls him a monster.
* Madison' monologue at the beginning of ''The Dead''. She hates herself for being unable to feel anything after all the shit she has been through.
* The climax in "Head"- Delphine (well, her head) being forced to watch videos and music from the UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement. Delphine, the murderous, sadistic racist, is moved to tears.
** Really the whole scene of Hank's massacre of Cornrow City. The soul music about freedom and Delphine's tears did not help.
** Hank's motive for shooting up Cornrow City: to protect Cordelia from the Voodoo witches.
** Hank shooting Queenie in the stomach. Queenie then proceeds to take a gun and pull an AteHisGun HeroicSacrifice to kill Hank by proxy with her voodoo doll powers and save Marie Laveau from also getting shot and killed by him.
*** Mitigated: Queenie survives.
*** Some people don't find that that much mitigating.
* Misty not surviving the test of the seven wonders, she's stuck in her own personal hell for the rest of eternity and her physical body turned into dust so she can never be brought back.
** To elaborate, Misty is stuck in a middle school science class where she is tasked to dissect a frog. Rather than doing so, she revives the frog, only to be forced to dissect it anyways. After which, she revives it. And is forced to dissect it again, and again, and again, for all eternity.
** Cordellia cradling Misty in her arms and begging her to come back is probably more heartbreaking, especially if you shipped Foxxay.
*** Thankfully, this is mitigated in episode 5 of ''[[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryApocalypse Apocalypse]]'' when [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse Michael Langdon]] rescues her soul upon Cordelia's request.
* In the opening of the finale there's a moment where Queenie is seen trying to communicate with Nan.
* Queenie failing to bring Zoe back from the dead. At this point you can see she no longer cares about being Supreme and is more concerned about saving her friend.
* Kyle's mother reacting initially seems unmoved by her son's death. Then she says she found his stash in his room, and has been smoking it while sleeping there nights. Largely undone by the end of the episode, where it's revealed she's been molesting him.
* Nan's world-weary response to being drowned in a bathtub by Fiona and Marie as a sacrifice to Papa Legba. As he comes to lead her away to her own version of Hell, she simply says, "Anywhere's better than here."
* Madison being gang raped by a group of frat boys at a party doubles as this and NightmareFuel. One drugs her drink and they take turns raping her and video taping it. Madison is unable to do anything but let out a few weak moans. Later, we see her sobbing in the shower, curled into the fetal position. Obviously she's more affected by the rape than it appears.
* Luke's ordeal is a mixture of this and NightmareFuel as well. Nan, Madison and Queenie (mostly Madison and Nan) are interested in him, and he actually kind of likes Nan. This gets him a forced bleach enema from his mother Joan who believes the girls are tainting him and leading him astray. While in coma, he finds out his mother killed his father by hiding bees in his car while knowing the father was allergic to bees, because she caught him with another woman and because the father wanted to leave. He wakes up from the coma, and calls out his mother on it tearfully. Her answer? To suffocate him with a pillow to cover up her deeds and have him cremated.
