* It may have been PlayedForLaughs, but who didn't feel a bit of sorrow for Weird Jimmy when, after being [[AccidentalMurder accidentally mortally stabbed]] by Jeremy, he looks up and sees his [[CompanionCube Mop]] as a force ghost before passing on?
* Randy's SanitySlippage into [[AxCrazy deranged evil]], by being sent to the night shift by Maggie (just for being Chad's boss during the whole incident with the failed laser checkout system), manipulated into attempted murder, and later attempting explosive small-scale terrorism under the influence of [[EvilDoll Baby Cookie]]. All while losing his grips on reality.
* Chad Vader [[BigNo wailing "NOOOOOOO!"]] after hearing that Maggie deported Libby after the former finds out about the latter's relationship with Chad. [[FromBadToWorse Then the Marshmallow Bandito]] decides to attack Chad in his despair, not allowing him to fully mourn.

** As Chad shoves marshmallows into the Bandito's mouth, he begins sobbing "LIBBY!"
* Jeremy being manipulated by Maggie into being her agent, getting evidence to deport Maggie, taking a two-week seminar to learn to be General Manager under her advice--as well as the [[DyingWish last wish of his grandpa]], undermining his mentor/friend Chad and being forced to fight Chad when the truth of his involvement with Libby comes out.
