History Series / Resurrection

* TearJerker: Dealing with loved ones coming back, this was a given.
** "Old Scars" was a massive one. Jacob wants to [[spoiler:apologise to his aunt Barbara for the fact that he wasn't able to save her when she fell into the river, but he can't because she wasn't invited to dinner until Henry and Fred intervene. When she sees him, Barbara begins to tear up; when he apologises, she does too, sobbing and embracing him.]] It gets worse when dinner has gone well underway: [[spoiler:Lucille, tipsy on wine and with Margaret's words about Barbara ringing in her head, ruthlessly rips into her; she furiously derides her for the fact that her affair with Sam Catlin was the reason she fell into the river that day and why Jacob died trying to save her, meaning she and Henry did not get to see him grow up and for 32 years, she had to live without "[my} heart". She continues on this tirade even as Barbara is obviously remorseful over this and tries to apologise, until she finally flees the table.]] And while Jacob is too young to fully understand what's going on, his father, cousin and uncle are all looking progressively more uncomfortable as they are forced to watch this and unable to stop it.

** [[spoiler:At the end of "Revelation", Fred Langston was about to shoot himself, until his returned mother Margaret [[ArmorPiercingSlap slaps some sense]] into him twice.]]

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: In episode 3, Henry admits to her wife that he just can't let go of their son (the one who died [[spoiler:and whose body is still in the tomb]]), and asked how she could and accept the apparently-resurrected Jacob.

* AbusiveParent: Caleb Richards before his death (if his interactions with Elaine are to be believed, it was less physical and more neglectful, as he wasn't around on an emotional level). After returning from the dead, he claims he wants to become a better person, but it turns out he's lying... Or is he? [[spoiler:We may never even know, since he's the first who disappeared - there's no indication that the Returned who vanish can ever come back, and Margaret - who has seen if before - believes it to be a FinalDeath.]]

* TechMarchesOn: In the pilot, Jacob picks up touchscreen-based smartphone gaming quickly ([[JustifiedTrope as children do]]) but without so much as a "Wow, that's cool!" Though he does head straight for DonkeyKong rather than a more recent game.
