  • The fate of Tyler and Becca's real grandparents, especially when you also take into account that their mom never got to reconcile with them before they were killed, despite being given several opportunities to do so beforehand. Doubly so when one considers that everyone had nothing but good things to say about the real grandparents, who seemed to be truly kind and understanding people. Given the issues Becca and Tyler were working through, their grandparents probably could have given a lot of support. Not to mention, the grandparents sounded very excited to meet their grandchildren for the first time, only to lose that chance because they told someone and it went badly.
  • Both Tyler and Becca's inability to come to grips with the departure of their father, who abandoned them and their mother. In particular when Tyler asks her Becca if she feels worthless regarding their father running out of their lives. Cue cutting to Becca crying in private and lamenting over how her father simply gave her a card to say goodbye.
  • The ending showing Becca and Tyler's mom regretting never making amends with her parents and urging Becca to not hold a grudge or hate for so long towards her father like she did to her parents. The next scene after that? Clips of Tyler and Becca's family with their father before he left.
    • Just the scope of how badly the mother regrets never reconciling with her parents. If she had made up with them sooner than the events that just occurred, and sent her children then, none of this would've happened. At the very least, the kids would've known right away that the phony grandparents were imposters.
    • The film's bonus features have an alternate ending where it's revealed that when the kids were in the basement, they found a letter to the mother from the real grandparents. The letter states that they'd been keeping track of how the mother was doing from afar and are so proud at how she turned out and the beautiful family she's created. The mother gradually breaks down in tears at reading this as her new boyfriend comes in to comfort her.
