YMMV / Junior Officers

• Moral Event Horizon: Though it happened offscreen, Humphrey definitely crossed a line when it's mentioned in "One Step Forward" that he slut-shamed Deborah (his own daughter) just for wearing a skirt that went a bit above her knee.
• Tear Dryer:
  • In "Margaret's Story", Humphrey spoils the mood at Margaret's sixteenth birthday party and he gets her to snap by saying he will not allow her to be a "slut". She breaks down in angry tears and screams at him for the way he's treated her throughout her life before retreating to her room, sobbing. David then comes in and tells Margaret that her cake is ready, and she even gets a baseball charm as a gift. Gertrude hugs her and tells her that she's going to do great things.
  • In "Home, Sour Home", Deborah is hanging out at her parents' house, but then Humphrey suddenly shows up. He is furious that Deborah is dating Shellington and begins to argue with her. She decides to cut the visit short and starts to leave while Trying Not to Cry. Barnacles comes by and calmly yet angrily tells Humphrey to stay away from Deborah and smashes Humphrey's foot with his cane. Barnacles and Deborah then share a hug shortly after they leave, and Barnacles promises to be a good Parental Substitute to Deborah.
  • In "A Pirate's Tail", a younger Kwazii is lost at sea. It's noted that he's been through several nightmares and loneliness, and he's sobbing Tears of Fear. He then falls into the sea and nearly drowns, but then the Octonauts pull him out and decide to let him join them with open arms.
