* AllJustADream? More like Nightmare. After delivering her son, Shauna struggles to produce milk to feed him (not surprising given her starvation) but she finally succeeds in getting Junior to latch on and nurse. She falls asleep, but when she wakes up her son is gone. She finds the others—including the Coach—''eating the baby''. With blood dripping down their faces, they all look at her in shame.
** Waking up is no relief; Shauna is told the baby did not make it and refuses to accept it. She keeps asking why does not anybody hear the baby cry.

* Also, the more we learn of just what they did go through and what they had to do, the knowledge that the adult characters we meet have had to carry this with them for 25 years, that it fucked them up on a fundamental level and they've had to ''go on'' like that.

* When Javi tries to help Natalie by guiding her to the place where he hid for two months, he ends up falling through ice and into freezing water. He begs Natalie for help but is deliberately allowed to die. To make it more horrible, there was a HopeSpot earlier on, when he failed to pick the card of death and immediately runs to his brother's arms.

* In the past, the survivors decide to sacrifice one of their own to the Wilderness hoping they will stay alive. The unlucky person who picks out the queen of hearts with eyes crossed out is Natalie.

* Shauna attacks Misty, blaming her for her baby's death and accusing all of eating the baby. When Van tries to forcibly restrain her, Shauna bites her. The only thing that stops Shauna is Lottie, who ''encourages'' Shauna to let it out. This means Lottie intentionally submitting to Shauna beating the crap out of her. When Shauna is finally done, Lottie appears to be dead for a second and her face is barely recognizable from the swelling and the blood.

In this vision/nightmare, no one survived the plane crash and nothing charred corpses occupy the seats of the burning plane, as a figure adorned with antlers and a veil approaches the camera.

* Shauna's speech to the carjacker. Not just her detailed description of how to skin a human body, and her telling him point blank she's not shaking because she's scared but because she really, ''really'' would love to kill him, but also the phrase "People are ''always'' so sweaty when you kill them. There's a look people get when they know they're about to die." Just how many people has she killed, anyway? And under what circumstances?

* The last moments of the episode. The team decide to finally give Jackie a funeral, and as the ground is too frozen for burial, decide to cremate her. After a few words from Shauna, she sets the pyre alight and the survivors turn in for the night, leaving Jackie's body to burn. This goes awry when a thick blanket of snow falls from above and covers Jackie's corpse, and with the fire still going, her remains are cooked. The smell awakens everyone within the cabin and draws them outside. The only words to be spoken are Shauna's, "she wants us too." Malnourished, ravenous, delirious, and exhausted from fighting for survival every day, the survivors begin to feast.
** What follows is a FantasySequence conjured up by the survivors so as to cope with the horror of what they're doing, imagining themselves at a bacchanalian feast, dressed in luxurious ancient Greek attire. This fantasy filled with ecstasy and binging is inter-cut with shots of reality as the survivors savagely eat Jackie's corpse. The only one not to partake in the frenzy is Coach Ben, who can only retreat back to the cabin in a state of absolute fear.
