  • When Harry's father pays a visit to his son via dream, Harry breaks down to his father about how exhausted and overwhelmed he is, and how afraid he is of not being able to protect his friends and family. James Marsters's performance for this scene is heart-wrenching, with Harry sobbing to his father and his voice breaking.
  • Thomas explaining to Harry what his Hunger feels like by showing him. The real kicker is Harry describing Thomas's "weary" eyes.
  • The Red Court's attack on the Council, killing off dozens of Wardens, then sending in mortals with nerve gas to a freaking hospital, killing off dozens more-and thousands in the Congo. It's offscreen, but terrifying, as it emphasizes just how cruel and nasty the Red Court are; just in case you've forgotten since Grave Peril.
