* Brittany's throwaway lines that sound an awful lot like she was raped, including being visited by aliens.

* The effects of Bulimia on Marley. She spends her first five episodes looking warm and bright and cheerful, but once Kitty gets in her head and makes her start vomiting all her meals up]she gets less energetic, more pale, and more frail. It all comes to a climax during the Gangnam Style performance: the music starts to cut out near the end, the camera is at weird angles, parts of the song speed up or slow down, and at the end Marley is so malnourished that she collapses onstage. The worst part is the insight to the skewed priorities she's developed, and how such a simple line can become really disturbing.

* Us, I realise it might be considered irrelevant now due to Cory Monteith's death, but really try to look at Kurt's season 1 actions towards Finn through Finn's eyes. Way back in Preggers, Finn thought that Kurt was asking him out and politely declined. (quote "Thanks, but I already have a date to the prom. I'm flattered you asked, though, I know dances are important to gay teens.") To which Kurt said he wasn't gay. (remember, this is the fourth episode ''ever''.) Subsequently, Kurt sings a love song while looking intently at Finn the whole time, plots to break up his relationship with the girl they both think is pregnant with his child, and works to ruin his opinion of Rachel, who Finn genuinely does have a connection with. It rapidly becomes an open secret in the whole Glee club not only that Kurt's crushing on Finn, but that it's one-sided ({{Clingy Jealous Girl}} Quinn doesn't even bother giving Kurt a single verbal warning). Finn finds out that his Mom is dating Kurt's dad ''when she tells him they're all moving in together'' (he knew she was dating someone, but not Kurt's dad), but not until ''after'' Kurt asks his opinion on interior decorating, for what Finn doesn't yet know will be their shared bedroom. Go back and watch that 'breaking the news' scene again objectively; Kurt really looks like he's just waiting for Finn to carry him over the threshold. Kurt has been known to go to some fairly extreme lengths, especially back in season 1. (Remember Rachel's 'Sandy in the final scene of Grease makeover'?) In a similar situation, I'd honestly be worried about being molested in my sleep, too. Finn's 'faggy' reaction to Kurt's full-on interior design mockup is a '''very''' bad word choice, and Kurt's right to be angry at Finn. But no one ever seems to consider that not only does Finn has a genuine right to be upset at the situation in general - everyone (even Rachel, the Official Love Interest who's already run afoul of Kurt's schemes to turn Finn his way,) acts like Finn's honest concern for his personal space (maybe even safety) from the guy who's rampantly crushing on him (and long ago stopped bothering to hide it) is simply Homophobia and loudly condemns him for it.

* The episode "Furt", where we already know that [[spoiler: Karofsky is gay and has feelings for Kurt,]] but the way he stands really close and does a glary/smile thing, along with winking. It looks a little perverse [[MemeticMolester and the audience are left a little violated]], along with Kurt.
* Brittany's throwaway lines that sound an awful lot like rape, including being visited by aliens.
* Santana [[spoiler: being outed after some girl overheard her argument with Finn in the hallway--where he tells her to come out the closet--and the girl told her uncle, who is running against Sue for the Congress seat and targeted Santana's lesbianism in a smear ad against Sue. For many a closeted teenager, being outed is bad enough, but for it to happen on TELEVISION in front of millions makes it nightmare fuel.]]
* ''EVERYTHING'' about [[spoiler: Karofsky's storyline]] in ''On My Way''. Hey, [[spoiler: being outted]] not bad enough for you? How about [[spoiler: your homophobic classmates spamming the Internet with hate-speech about you until you ''hang yourself''?]] And just in case you could sleep, have [[spoiler: Karofsky's dad finding his near-dead body and screaming in anguish. And even while in recovery, his mom thinks that he's mentally ill for being gay and his best friend Azimio cuts contact.]]
* The effects of [[spoiler: Bulimia]] on Marley. She spends her first five episodes looking warm and bright and cheerful, but once Kitty gets in her head and makes her start [[spoiler: vomiting all her meals up]] she gets less energetic, more pale, and more frail. It all comes to a climax during the Gangnam Style performance.

-->'''Marley''': [[spoiler: I'm so hungry. But at least I fit into my dress.]]
* "Feud": It's supposed to be played for laughs, and is never mentioned again, but Sue putting 30 credit cards and a house loan in Blaine's name, singlehandedly ruining his parents' credit, simply because [[spoiler: he wouldn't join the Cheerios]] is quite disturbing.
* "Shooting Star". [[spoiler: A gun goes off at the school. Most of the club is holed up in the choir room, but Brittany is stuck alone in a washroom and Tina is outside the school and can't contact anyone. Marley tries to text her mom, but Millie can't answer because her phone is too far away and she can't risk grabbing it - and Marley starts assuming the worst.]]
** The eerie silence during that scene just makes the whole thing worse. If you weren't spending that entire scene on the edge of your seat, wondering when [[spoiler: the shooter would burst through the choir room door, gun in hand]], then congratulations, you have NervesOfSteel.

* Kurt getting [[spoiler: gay bashed]] in "Bash". Oh my god.

* What we learn about [[spoiler: Blaine]]'s inner workings in ''Puppet Master''. Let's just say the title is quite apt.

-->'''Marey''': [[spoiler: I'm so hungry. But at least I fit into my dress.]]

* "I Am Unicorn" and "The First Time," due to a [[Fanfic/HuntingTheUnicorn certain fanfiction.]] "The First Time" in particular is ''really'' [[HarsherInHindsight harsh]] after you read ''FanFic/HuntingTheUnicorn,'' since [[spoiler: Fic!Blaine only ''wishes'' it happened like that.]]

* "The First Time"'s scene in which [[spoiler: a drunk Blaine tries to force himself on an unwilling Kurt, who after having seen all his pleas being denied by Blaine's singlehanded pursuit of his first time, FINALLY manages to throw him out of the car.]] Made it worse by the fact that [[spoiler: he wants to get laid just so he can ''[[WhatAnIdiot perform better in a school musical]]''.]]
