* Peter missing Jack's baseball game and talking through Maggie's play.
** Jack's slow realization that his father isn't there.



* Peter missing Jack's baseball game and talking through Maggie's play.
** Jack's slow realization that his father isn't there.



** After Peter explodes at his family when they repeatedly disturb him during a phone call, Moira tries to help Peter understand that his constantly breaking promises and obsession with work will only lead to alienating his children. It's especially sad due to how real it feels for parents who ''have'' been this way with their own children.
-->'''Moira:''' Your children love you. They want to play with you. How long do you think that lasts? Soon Jack might not even want you to come to his games. We have only a few special years with our children when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast, Peter. It's a few years, and it's over. And you're not being careful. And you are missing it.



* Jack's baseball game in Neverland. Hook only let him have one so he could one-up Peter and prove he was a better father and the sad irony was that Peter did in fact get to see this one.
** ''"My Jack?"''



* The scene where Hook takes Jack into his room of clocks and gives him a hammer to start smashing them, starting with Peter's watch. At first, Jack looks like he is having fun, listing the small childish stuff his father would scold him over while smashing clocks, but then he gets more somber as he continues his list with how Peter never had time for him, ending with Jack crying about how Peter never tried to save him and Maggie from Hook.
--->'''Jack:''' This is for never letting me blow bubbles in my chocolate milk! This is for never letting me jump on my own bed! For always making promises and breaking them. For never doing anything with me...\\
'''Hook:''' For a father who's never there, Jack. Jack, for a father who didn't save you on the ship.\\
'''Jack:''' Who wouldn't save us....\\
'''Hook:''' Who couldn't save you, Jack.\\
'''Jack:''' He wouldn't. He didn't even try. He was there, we were there, and he wouldn't try.



* At the end when the children come back but their mother hasn't seen yet.
-->'''Wendy:''' My dear child, have you been up all night?\\
'''Moira:''' I see them in their beds so often in my dreams. When I wake up, they're still there.

* In a way, Hook's death. It's not that he didn't have it coming, but it's still a little sad to watch him cornered by his greatest fear, then humiliated in a way that accentuates it by exposing his advanced age, only for the crocodile to eventually catch up with him.

** Jack, meanwhile, is paralyzed with fear. Normally a talkative and lively kid before this point, he only manages a soft, frightened "I'm sorry..."

* It may be a CryForTheDevil moment, but when Peter gathers up Jack, Hook just seems lost, taking a few steps toward him, sword down as he says his name questioningly. It leads to him shouting his threat to Peter in desperation, but he just appears totally at a loss for words, unable to understand why his nemesis is leaving.
-->'''Hook:''' Peter? Where are you going?
