Zoe Must Be Destroyed is the fifth episode of Netflix's 2022 series The Imperfects.
This episode provides example of:
- Actually Pretty Funny: During one of their conversations, Abbi jokes that Hannah likes Hannah Montana. Hannah claims that it's not funny, before the two of them start laughing about it.
- The Dreaded: Sarkov is shown to be this to the residents of Shaw Island.
- From Bad to Worse: How Sarkov views Juan's side affects after seeing him transform into a chupacabra for the first time."Well, those blackouts have certainly evolved into a bigger problem, haven't they? I give you solid a 7"
- Murder Is the Best Solution: Sarkov believes that killing Zoe is the best way to stop her from killing everyone.
- My God, What Have I Done?:
- Hannah is horrified to learn that she has been unknowingly helping Isabel Finch murder scientists.
- Zoe also feels remorseful of Hank's death.
- "Not So Different" Remark: Juan tells Zoe that he and Tilda that they are "kind of like her", due to them all being experiments of Sarkov's.
- Oh, Crap!:
- Juan, Tilda and Sarkov when they see the angry mob approaching them.
- Both Tilda and Juan react this way when they notice the power starting back up, right while Zoe (who can absorb electricty and cause a massive explosion) is standing nearby. Juan gets a slightly bigger one when he realises that Zoe's power will cause a secondary explosion that could kill (or seriously injure) others, prompting him to transform in order to protect others who are nearby.
- Abbi, Burke and Hannah all have this reaction when they realise Isabel Finch is inside Burke's house. Burke gets a smaller one after when she looks at her medical kit and finds that she is Finch.
- Shamed by a Mob: Sarkov gets taken away by a mob who are angry at him for (seemingly) kidnapping other people on the island, and then accuse him of murder.
- What the Hell, Hero?:
- Sarkov calls out Juan and Tilda for letting Zoe get away.
- Sarkov gets one from an angry mob, who accuse him of kidnapping and murder.
