* Thrawn's EliteMook, ImplacableMan droids he spars with. [[spoiler:Even [[ColdHam the]] [[NervesOfSteel Admiral]] [[TheStoic himself]] invokes a hint of OhCrap when they suddenly break into his office, manhandle his Stormtrooper escort, come after him next, and refuse to obey his verbal override anymore (all courtesy of Kallus) [[note]]Even worse? This is a MythologyGag to his final fate in ''Legends'': being killed InTheBack by bodyguard Rukh, whose name is the aforementioned override here.[[/note]].]]

** One that's only clear on repeat viewings....the first word he says is not just Palpatine's voice, but Kanan's and Palpatine's voices together, grossly distorted. Ezra seeing Kanan in the portal was an illusion and had he followed through he'd probably have pulled Palpatine right through the gateway.

* Pryce's ColdBloodedTorture of Hera is likely one of the darkest scenes in the show. The whole scene is portrayed ''very'' realistically and pulls no punches in showing just how much pain Hera is in and how nasty Pryce really is. Hera is seen being strapped to table and repeatedly electrocuted as she screams in pain, while Pryce gleefully smiles, doubles down on the torture, and responds to her screams by ''complimenting the sound of her voice''. It's no wonder that along with [[spoiler: Kanan's death]], this episode is what cemented Pryce as one of the [[HateSink most hated characters]] in the show among the fandom. It gets even worse when you realize that Hera was [[spoiler: ''pregant'' the whole time]].

* Kanan’s death has many implications, but one stands out above all else: the [[PlotArmor plot armor]] is gone. All but [[SavedByCAnon General Syndulla and Chopper]] are not safe from [[AnyoneCanDie death]].

*** It's also worth noting that Thrawn already had Ezra as leverage to save face with the Emperor when his [=TIE=] Defender project was at risk of losing support. So yes, ''definitely'' Pryce is the only one in trouble.

* Palpatine's glamour of his ''Clone Wars'' era self is [[UncannyValley deeply disturbing]]. He's also garbed in [[LightIsNotGood pure white robes]] and [[BitchInSheepsClothing really playing up the kind old man act]] which is a jarring contrast with the monster we know he really is.

** [[spoiler:However, WordOfGod has stated that Thrawn is still alive.]]

*** [[spoiler: That is, if Thrawn is held accountable for the TIE Defender project being compromised, which isn't actually too likely. It's much more likely that Pryce will be held responsible and that she will be punished instead of Thrawn.]]

*** [[spoiler: Tarkin may not have to do anything. Given that he arranged a meeting between the Emperor and Thrawn, he will likely leave Thrawn to the Emperor's wrath, which as we know, means that Thrawn is fucked (if he's held accountable).]]

* It's just as scary that Ezra can hear the past, present, and ''future''. Remember back when Ezra said he is afraid of the truth? Well, he found out a LOT of hard truths.

* [[BigBad Palpatine's]] one-sided confrontation with Ezra and Ahsoka withing the eponymous EldritchLocation. Both lightsiders are horrifically outmatched, and can do nothing but run as the Emperor attacks them with some form of Sith sorcery, cackling and snarling as only Creator/IanMcDiarmid can.

* [[spoiler:In the aftermath of Kanan's death, Governor Pryce tries to cover up the destruction of the TIE Defender production line with a parade. Thrawn, of course, is not fooled for an instant, and is probably the most angry we've ever seen him; hissing a statement, not a threat, that can only be described as certain doom in words. The sheer menace and anger the voice actor is able to portray in such few words as he explains to her exactly how she gave the rebels a victory and compromised the TIE Defender project, is absolutely terrifying. And he never raises his voice.]]
