* The time travellers who were flung to the "wrong" point in time and spent ''years'' living as temporal fish out of water with nobody to relate to. Particularly so in the case of [[spoiler:Kiera's partner Elena, who arrived in '''1975'''. Imagine being sent back to the 1970s from 2013, never mind 2077, especially if you're black like Elena]]. The worst part is that she's suffering from severe Alzheimer's, which was cured in her original time.

* Sonya has just watched [[spoiler:Liber8 effectively cease functioning as a group due to the multiple whammies of learning that at least half its members had secret agendas -- most notably, Curtis Chen for the Freelancers -- and that their actions at least partly precipitated an even uglier CrapsackWorld than Kiera's "past" of 2035 with corporate gulag complexes. In short, once more than one person gains the secret of time travel, it is possible for the multiple travellers from multiple timelines to work at cross-purposes in ways which create drastic, unpredictable changes.]] The "soldiers" in Liber8 are at least able to roll with what has happened, and Lucas is a tech wizard and while time travel seems to hurt his brain, he's cognizant enough of the implications to not waste time grasping at straws. But Sonya's forlorn sense of hope that Liber8 can accomplish what they set out to do is a starkly moving contrast to the rest of the group's utter cynicism.
* Travis tries to convince Sonya to move up north with him [[spoiler:now that Liber8 is gone]], but she still wants to do one more job. [[spoiler:She ends up sacrificing herself to kill Dillon, and the scene where Travis finds out doesn't even need words to show how devastated he is.]]

* Sonya's betrayal of Travis: To elaborate, Travis learns from Sonya that their mentor and father figure, Kagame, just performed a suicide bombing, which devastates them both. Sonya then pulls a gun on Travis, and explains that Kagame wanted her to succeed him instead of Travis. When he tries to reason with her, she shoots him six times in the chest, and he passes out while silently weeping on the floor. What really sells it is Roger Cross's subtle yet incredibly emotional performance. You can see the culmination of the betrayal of his lover and mentor have on him before he passes out.
