[[AC:Ferdinand the Cannibal]]
* It's easy to miss, but Connor's first scene establishes somewhat subtly how he feels about his situation:
-->'''Connor:''' Go in, ask questions, get out… go in, ask questions, get out… (''eyes open and suddenly look wistful'') [[IJustWantToBeFree get out…]]
* When Ferdinand calls Connor "an abnormality, an SCP like [him]" who "belongs here" (as in, in containment), Connor is noticeably upset.
-->'''Connor:''' I'm not a human atom bomb, I'm not a rapidly evolving virus and I'm not a Shakespearean cannibal! I work for them!

* The ending to Episode 4. [[spoiler:Connor seemed to genuinely [[IntergenerationalFriendship befriend SCP-1836 over their similar backstories]] to the point where in the short span of time they spent together he learned some crude Inuktitut. And then she's gone, all the instances of SCP-1836-1 are dead and all that's left is to pass on what he learned and bunker down for a long depressing trip home.]]
* To really bring the tears, Alex Turner's "Stuck on the Puzzle" plays all throughout the ending.
* Connor's backstory in the same episode. Turns out his mother left him in a car in a parking lot when he was a baby, without a note or anything explaining why. After [[AndIMustScream he overheated to death over and over and over]] (leaving numerous baby corpses in the process), the Foundation found him and he's been in their captivity ever since.
* In the Special, [[spoiler:Connor recounts that, as a child, he ''finally'' got a friend in the form of a psychic octopus named Gilbert. Unfortunately, Gilbert's "mom" (aka SCP-2967) ''really'' didn't approve, and sent Connor running with a psychic attack when he went to go meet them. He and Gilbert never saw each other again.]]
* In the short Christmas special, Connor is sent out to investigate a gingerbread house SCP whose denizens promptly bake him into a living gingerbread child. They then treat him as though he was their actual son and a touched Connor gets to experience what is probably his first Christmas with a loving family. [[MoodWhiplash Then they all get shot by the Foundation]].
* It's hard not to feel a bit bad for Annie from the "Anomalies" music video, being accosted by SCP-1879, losing an arm and then being murdered by him in retaliation for her [[DyingMomentOfAwesome kicking his eyeball out to shut up his taunting]]. Not helped by the fact that she's stated to be a widow and the Desire Camera establishes that her greatest desire is to see her husband and child again.
