* * Luther's successful plan in taking over a [=CIA=] blacksite.blacksite. He gets the whole site under his control within ''minutes,'' then ruthlessly murders whichever employees get in his way as he rampages through the prison.
* The scene with the ropes. The fact that the prison has a readily made torture room with pre-built nooses is disconcerting all on its own, but then Ressler and Navabi get captured and nearly hung, doubling the NightmareFuel. It only gets worse when Braxton takes a particular interest in Navabi, threatening to hang her if Cooper doesn’t hand over the code while complimenting her appearance in a deeply disturbing way. As he raises the noose, she can be seen choking and thrashing, and back at the post office, the others hear her suffocating over the phone.

* This Blacklister is a TortureTechnician, who specializes in inflicting the maximum amount of pain possible. Which is bad enough, but then we meet the guy she [[AndIMustScream left barely alive]] as a warning to others -- she ''removed his jaw, tongue, and all the flesh on his neck''.

We're disgusted by that, too, Liz
