* Ametrine is unsure about her relationship with Piano and doesn't open her letter right away. We find out it's because she proposed to Piano and was (gently) turned down. No matter how valid their reason is, hearing "it's not the right time" from the one you love after taking a leap of faith like that is gonna hurt. It has Ametrine unsure if she and Piano are right for each other.

The Nightmare Knight has no choice [[OffingTheOffspring but to put him down himself.]] It's a ''heartbreaking'' sequence.
** Quakemaster's breakdown is [[TruthInTelevision frightening realistic.]] [[CryLaughing He starts chuckling before]] [[LaughingMad his laughter becomes more and more unhinged,]] all while his anger and hurt causes his form to melt and dissolve into pure lava. It's worse when you remember Quakemaster ''just'' had a similar moment of vulnerability with the Nightmare Knight and was ''threatened'' for it. He himself was putting up an act all these years because he thought it was what his "boss" wanted. He even hid the romantic relationship he had with his minion for fear of the Nightmare Knight's retribution if he found out.
* Obsidian tells everyone the story of how he fell in love with Quakemaster, and laments that in his old age, he most likely won't live long enough to see him again if the cycle continues the way it has.
* At the end of the chapter, everyone comes to the [[DramaticIrony logical but incorrect conclusion]] that the Nightmare Knight ended Quakemaster because he found out about his relationship with Obsidian. With this and the "sending everyone towards the sun" incident in the Chapter 2 Interlude, the heroes now have two [[EntertaininglyWrong reasonable but completely wrong assumptions]] about the Nightmare Knight.
* Carrot is less than amused with Obsidian's ruse pretending he was cursed since he suffered from the real thing. It's clear it had a lasting effect on him. He's pensive for the entire conclusion of the chapter and at the very end [[WhamLine he drops this:]]

* We learn that Mistmaster one cycle lost their nerve and surrendered to the hero. The Nightmare Knight punished him by reducing him to little more than an EmptyShell, his misery generating rain which is bas for Quakemaster. The Nightmare Knight ''himself'' was too afraid to look at the damage he's done to him. Worse is that the Nightmare Knight threatening to similarly punish Quakemaster and how quickly he falls back into line is just heartwrenching. It really adds a whole new meaning to Noisemaster's: "We gotta fight. That's just how it is." Assuming all the Disaster Masters are aware of what happened, it's no wonder nobody's decided to speak up.

The Nightmare Knight who came to confess, can't bring himself to do it and pushes Quakemaster onward instead.

[[CerebusSyndrome For the first time]], the event [[spoiler:of Almond willingly giving a Disaster Orb to Peridot just to have a fun adventure]] from Chapter 1 is [[IronicEcho recalled in a much more serious light.]]
** What makes Cucumber's speech hit home harder is the tone - he really does blame Almond for all the things he had to endure in the entire series, and the events of Chapter 3 served as his breaking point.
---> '''Cucumber:''' So, yeah, I guess it is your fault.
* Chapter 4 as a whole just starts out without any of grimness from the end of Chapter 3 lost in any way. Everyone is in dour spirits and a lot of muted colors are used to reflect that. A far cry from the bright cheeriness of the first few chapters of the series.
* At the end, Almond expresses faith in Carrot and Princess Ametrine's ability to take Quakemaster down. [[spoiler:[[http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-861/ The last panel]] shows Carrot's incapacitated body, the magical heart on his chest armor turned to stone]].

[[spoiler:Princess Parfait senses that her boyfriend's in danger and tries to assure him, but she discovers that ''something'' is happening to Carrot - Quakemaster had cursed him to slowly become [[ReforgedIntoAMinion his rock minion]], which focuses on draining all of his positive emotions until he becomes a living person of rock like Obsidian]].
