* You can see how someone from reality (ours) react when the lines between reality and fiction (''The Twilight Zone'') begin to blur.

* While the situation was tense since Traveler showed up, it turns UpToEleven when Pendleton announces Yuka will release Jack. The lights flicker and Traveler's face loses its affable humor. Then he starts setting everyone against each other.

** And of course, by the end we find out that he has MindOverMatter and VoluntaryShapeshifting abilities. He opens his and Jack's cell door without even touching it, and when

** It is further amplified by his [[TranquilFury chilling serenity]] in most scenes. Lasky barely ever emotes when harassing Nina and Dorian, at worst going into TranquilFury or grimacing when he and Dorian get into a fight. Unlike most PoliticallyIncorrectVillains in other works, he doesn't openly slurs, rages or outright insults them. As if the '''only''' thing that matters to him is causing a situation where he gets to kill Dorian (and possibly Nina). Even when exposed in front of an entire crowd and forced to back off at the end, Lasky can ''barely stop himself from shooting Nina in front of dozens of witnesses with cameras.''

* Officer Lasky himself, naturally. His behavior goes beyond typical [[BigotWithABadge Racist Cop]], and straight into SerialKiller [[KillerCop Cop]] or even SuperPersistentPredator, especially given that he seems to single them out from the moment he sees them at the café. The fact he ALWAYS seems to find them no matter how Nina changes things in each TimeLoop also implies [[AmbiguouslyHuman something supernatural about him]]...

* The climax, in which Samir finally breaks and starts just bellowing the names and minor crimes of everyone he doesn't like on stage. The disorienting camera work zooming in on Samir's sweating face as he roars incomprehensibly while the audience howls with laughter makes a uniquely terrifying sequence. It's very terrifyingly clear that he's [[SanitySlippage gone off]] [[SlippingOffTheSlipperySlope the deep end]] and is in a PowerHigh, full-blown VillainousBreakdown FreakOut and/or is GoingMadFromTheRevelation.

* This episode takes canned laughter straight into the UncannyValley.

* Samir accidentally [[RetGone erases]] his [[AdultFear young nephew]] during a stand-up set as a result of gentle-natured ribbing.

* The DownerEnding: the passengers and other people on the plane are seen walking slowly towards Justin, as Justin tries to defend himself, no one even replies, they just stare at him emotionlessly, looking and acting as if they were zombies or ghosts. Justin is horrified when the survivors do start beating him to death, out of revenge for his erratic behavior on the plane, and after an epilogue, we see more survivors coming out of nowhere and piling onto Justin. The survivors later say that they do not know the whereabouts of Justin, implying that they are lying, but that makes no sense, because they would say that he was the one responsible. What makes this ending even darker is it is quite possible that Justin ended up in a hell or some sort of purgatory, or he was imagining the entire thing, and even if is the latter, it does not make the scene any less disturbing.

* Whatever happened to Joe? Some say that he is a figment of Justin's imagination, but people on the plane did see him. Why would he suddenly disappear, and if they also knew he played a role in the crash, is it possible that he was he killed on the plane?

* The DownerEnding: all the passengers gang up on and lynch Justin, then cover up his death by saying it was a result of the crash. The final shot shows all the passengers piling up where Justin was with more arriving. The shot of the passengers slowly approaching Justin with murderous intent leaving him understandably horrified.
** We do not know if the passengers covered it up or Joe did, but having him murdered and then covering up his death, regardless whoever addressed it, is still chilling. What makes the ending downright eerie though is not that Justin is utterly horrified when the rest of the survivors swarm around him and seek their revenge by lynching him, but how "un-dead" they all look, as if they are all zombies. It could be possible that he ended up in some type of hell, or perhaps it did not actually happen, perhaps it was just a perspective story, but among the other episodes of the series, the ending has got to be one of the darkest ones up to par.

* People who've you known for so long start acting violently due to an outside force. [[spoiler: Then you realize the meteors weren't to blame and were just an excuse to act like monsters. Also, there's the fact that despite that their eyes turned red, bulging veins appear on their faces, and they gained extra strength all because of their innate rage they had within them.]]

* Raff gets operated on by a ''child'' who is more interested in playing video games due to the President ordering "no old doctors". And he doesn't even put him under anesthesia meaning that unless he died instantly, he's forced the experience the whole thing while he's alive screaming in agony. And the "operation" starts with him stabbing Raff multiple times.
** [[FridgeHorror It's even more chilling]] when you realize that the kid is considered "a very old doctor" now, and then that the assistant told Raff that he can't legally be a doctor.

* Jerry's descent into the madness over a crazy sounding hypothesis which understandably terrifies the rest of the crew. Even worse? The ending proves ''he was right''.
