* In the season 2 premier, after Josh asks Rebecca what she meant when she said "I moved here for you", Rebecca starts realistically {{gaslighting}} him into believing it was all in his head.
* The Santa Ana Winds in "Josh is the Man of my Dreams, Right?" are surprisingly creepy. Between the music, Paula's nightmare, Eric Michael Roy's manic performance and the general sense of weirdness, it does kind of feel like reality has gone askew.
* In the Season 2 Finale [[spoiler: Josh has jilted Rebecca at the alter, and Rebecca, not having an idea what's happening, [[DrivenToSuicide she almost walks off a cliff]]]].

* 3x03, Josh is [[spoiler: about to lose his friends after all the lies Rebecca said on the feminist website.]] [[spoiler:So he retrieves the file about Rebecca that Trent gave him in the Season 2 finale. Which was about Rebecca trying to burn down someone's house, and was was sent to a mental health institute instead of prison, and [[FridgeHorror Josh almost married her...]]]]
** [[spoiler: Take this from Rebecca's POV towards the end, she realises that everybody knows about her past life, and has no choice but to flee town.]]

Then Rebecca, after thinking her mother has changed into the loving mother she always hoped for, discovers that instead the strawberry milkshakes she has been drinking were spiked with anti-anxiety medication. She then finds out her mother was going to have her committed once Rebecca had settled down more (though in fairness to Naomi Rebecca could definitely use some inpatient treatment right now). Rebecca then runs away from home and gets a flight back to Los Angeles. During the flight she attempts suicide by overdose. She stops herself at the last minute and tells the flight attendants that she overdosed and needs help, but seeing Rebecca at her lowest point is utterly terrifying.]]
* In "Josh is Irrelevant" Rebecca [[spoiler: is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Against her doctor's recommendation she searches for what that means and finds horrible headlines saying that BPD patients are considered difficult to cure; denied appointments by psychiatrists because of said difficulty, the patients' unpredictability, and impulsiveness; and that 10% commit suicide.]] The worst part is that all of these are TruthInTelevision.
