* Similar to Lee, Mr. Omida very calmly explains Philip Carvel the torture that he will inflict, but also emphasises that he will inflict the same to Jessica, who was '''four years old.''' It's very strongly implied that Jessica wouldn't be the first child he's tortured.
* In a CallBack to the first example in Season One, Wilson discover a subtle reminder of his torture by finding a spoon under his seat inside a room in Corvadt. He then discovers that Lee is alive and after speaking to Milner, he winks and smiles at Wilson as he leaves. It comes off as NothingPersonal, but the spoon that Wilson found suggests that Lee hasn't forgotten at all about him.

* Young Philip Carvel slicing a poor rabbit's head in front of the baby [[spoiler: Pietre]] ''just to elicit any emotion'' from his emotionally-deadened child. It's not graphically shown, but still...
** Related to the above, Brosca finds out later that [[spoiler: Pietre has sliced up their new pet rabbit and proceeded to ''eat its carcass'']] as a side effect of Carvel's experiments. Brosca's utterly horrified expression says it all.

It nullifies the vaccine so it doesn't protect against the Russian flu. So anyone who takes the vaccine will not only be sterile, but still die horribly...unless they'd been 'spared' by having Roma blood.]]

* The transformation Wilson undergoes throughout the series, from being a reluctant member of the Network to [[spoiler: becoming the new Mr. Rabbit. Complete with him making the same cuts on his skin to make the Chinese symbol for the word 'rabbit', all the while screaming in agony.]] It's more than clear that something has broken inside him, and that the Wilson from the first ever episode is gone.
