* Vic ends up killing his father, convinced that what Grid was showing him in his head about his father ''knowingly'' changing his son for his own benefit and not thinking of Vic. He then proceeds to beat him to death with his fists. However, the worse part is is that a victory jingle plays and an icon of Mr. Nobody shows up with confetti. This was all part of his plan, and he was delighted to see how easily Vic played into his hands, when most of the memories he made him see were fake.

* The beginning of the episode, while heartwarming, quickly descends into this once you realize that all of Elliot's cakes are decorated with that same creepy-looking eye. Then, on his 18th birthday, leaves the room to go get fudge, Elliot's father warns him that he ''isn't'' supposed to save the world, as he's been led to believe his entire life. He's supposed to destroy it. Then Elliot's mother ''slits his throat'' and acts like nothing's wrong as she tries to offer Elliot cake. Elliot's reaction? Run upstairs and lock himself in his room.

* As Rita tries and comforts the boy, by asking him what were things he wanted to do, just before he can answer, the Decreator puts its eye on him and he vanishes right in front of Rita's eyes. All she can do is sit there in shock before collecting herself.

* Even though this was a ''huge'' victory for Jane, when she goes to rest and closes her eyes, the faint sound of her father's voice echoes in her head and her eyes snap open once more. She may have been able to face him and drive him away, [[RealityEnsues but that doesn't mean all the trauma he put her through will immediately go away]].

* Thought the writers were playing the butts off as a joke? Wait 'til you see them charging towards the agents of the Bureau and then open their maws full of razor sharp teeth, easily shredding the people to bits while dragging off Darren into a dark room. After that scene, one butt is seen walking off chomping on an arm.
** These butts are treated as TheDreaded by the Bureau, and once the commander gets word that the butts were free, he thanks the soldiers, tells everyone that it was an honor serving them and prepares to shoot himself. Even at the beginning, the commander tells the others that they must not at any cost upset the butts. Have fun trying to see butts as normal after this.

However, he didn’t look just a second and he becomes horrified that the inside of his arm has been replace with machines and chips. He fears he will no longer resemble a human anymore and he might end up just like in Jane’s painting.

**
The entirety of the Miranda scene scene. We see her in "Jane Patrol". Her constant whispering a classroom where her teacher is giving a blatantly false lesson on the United States Civil War (she says that Lincoln was an evil, godless monster who tried to steal the land from hapless southern farmers- this is a very unfortunate case of truth in television. Even today, some schools in the southern United States teach about the "War of Northern Aggression"). Then Penny Farthing goes to open the exit, and memory!Miranda starts whispering, "Don't open the door", door" on repeat. Then, the actual room itself on the other side contains hanged and mutilated bodies corpses. ''Lots'' of corpses...
** There's a scene where Cliff, inside the Underground, ''tears off his skin'', revealing Robotman beneath. For just a second the show became Film/TheTerminator.
** Every implication is that young Kate was sexually abused by her father and created the alters to deal with that trauma.
** The climax of the episode, where Jane and Cliff face off against a monstrous version of Kate's father formed from a whirling cloud of puzzle pieces. Mostly because of what the father represents, but also because he presents a very real danger to them both- he ''rips Cliff in half''. If he had done that to Jane, it would've been a lot more permanent.
