  • Moral Event Horizon:
    • Angie betraying and killing Lucas and then letting the Frawleys believe Kathy is dead purely so she can keep her for herself is pretty awful, shocking even Clint. Angie then crosses the line further by not even bothering to look after Kathy properly and deciding to kill her after getting bored of her. It's hard to feel too bad about Clint offing her after that.
    • Clint was never an especially nice or sympathetic man, but he crosses the line from being an unscrupulous thief to a truly heinous person by punching his girlfriend and leaving her and little Kathy to drown, purely to save his own skin.
    • Gregg Stanford is a deeply unpleasant man who has done a lot of scummy things over the years, but the moment that absolutely cements him as a terrible person is when he orders Clint and and Angie to dispose of Kathy - the terrified three year old he ordered kidnapped - because she's a potential liability, rather than let her go.
    • Norman Bond feeling heartbroken and bitter about his wife Theresa leaving him after their twins died, then marrying another man (who was apparently superior to him in many ways) a year later, is understandable. But he loses any sympathy when it's revealed he hunted down and killed Theresa to get back at her; he let her know he was going to kill her and showed no empathy or remorse even when she pleaded with him, including begging him not to kill her for the sake of her unborn twins. Norman then hid her body so well that no one knew what had happened to her for seventeen years, especially her new husband, with Norman being happy to let him suffer over Theresa's disappearance and the possibility she abandoned him.
  • The Woobie: Amy Lindcroft is a fairly minor character who only appears in one scene, but we're told just enough of her backstory that it's easy to feel bad for her. She was Gregg Stanford's first wife and didn't initially realize he only married her to further his career via her connections, remaining oblivious for ten years. He began cheating on her with his future second wife Tina - who was Amy's former college roommate and best friend at the time - and announced he was leaving Amy for Tina shortly after she found out she was pregnant with his child. The shock and heartbreak caused her to miscarry, and she needed an emergency hysterectomy to stop the bleeding. While Amy has managed to rebuild her life, it's clear she still feels sad at times about never being able to have children and what Gregg did to her.
