---> '''Barry''': Do you know where she lives?
---> '''Sally''': I don't know... what, were you gonnna, like, send her an angry letter or something?
---> '''Barry''': Oh, nothing like that. I'm just gonna freak her out a little bit.
---> '''Sally''': Freak her out how?
---> '''Barry''': Oh, there's a lot of ways. It's, you know... nothing bad. No, it's just... like, for instance, I could... send her a picture of herself sleeping. You know, just as a way of being like, "Hey, not cool what you did to Sally, you know?"
---> '''Sally:''' ...so you'd break into her house?
---> '''Barry:''' [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint Oh, she'd never know I was there.]] [[ParanoiaFuel The whole point is to isolate her and make her feel like she's going insane.]] So, I would just do little things, like replace her dog with a slightly different dog, or, you know, change the furniture in her house so she thinks she's shrinking. You know, basic stuff. Most of it I learned in the military. Some of it on a subreddit. You know? Basically, just plant a seed, and then they just kinda hang themselves, so it's super nonviolent. But by the end of it, like, her brain will have essentially eaten itself, you know? But that's on the table if you want it. Okay?

*** The flashback could also be viewed as a hallucination about dying induced by Barry's injuries, showing him realising Fuches is not unlike the Devil, who offers Barry help, support, purpose, but in reality his tricking and manipulating him constantly, binding them ever closer and damning them to the same hell.

*** Made even more chilling by the fact that Barry's Murder Soundtrack kicks in as she hits him. All season long we've heard whistling desert winds when Barry's trauma/anger gets so overwhelming that he's about to murder someone. It's our indicator he's checked out mentally.

* The gory aftermath of the shootout between Hank's and Fuches' men. Fuches [[CoverInnocentEyesAndEars covers John's eyes]] while walking him out, but the audience sees a man with his [[AnArmAndALeg lower leg blown off]] and another with his intestines spilling onto the floor.

* Barry's complete breakdown when Albert confronts him. He becomes almost animalistic, screaming and sobbing on the floor, in a way that feels like he is only just now coming to terms with everything he's done for the very first time. It's incredibly disturbing to watch, and even Bill Hader has since stated that he gave himself a panic attack acting it out.

Added DiffLines:

** Subtle, but the absolute willingness of Sally's coworkers to ignore Barry screaming at her and how shaken she is afterwards. None of them step in or ask her about it afterwards except for her teenage costar, who is told that Barry is "a great guy". It's a harrowing representation of how easily people will ignore obvious signs of abusive relationships for their own comfort.

Added DiffLines:

** When he finally does make his appearance, it's a scene straight out of a horror movie. Sally looks into a darkened room and we can just about see the shape of a man in the shadows. Then he slowly limps into the light, revealing a face still swollen and bruised from his prison beating. If Sally didn't immediately give him what he wanted, things could have gotten ugly.

* After receiving a punch to the sternum that audibly cracks his windpipe and has him struggling for air, Ronny is left whistling almost every time he breathes. Though much of the fight (Ronny whipping out the nunchucks; Barry's defeated reaction) is ridiculous and played for comedy, you can ''hear'' that his refusal to stop fighting is slowly asphyxiating him through hyperventilation. Eventually, he teeters back while moaning like he's being strangled, drops to the floor, writhes in agony, and dies.

* Barry gets kidnapped right as he's about to get the jump on Gene. The next time he wakes up, he's inside of a garage, handcuffed to a chair, sitting infront of '''Jim Moss'''.
