* The saddest part about all this is that Ron will never know what Reagan did.

** How Reagan comes to this decision is also quite tragic. She essentially has three choices: accept Ron's offer and start a completely new life, convince him to stay working at Cogito, or let him go. She decides that her work is way too important to give up, so the first choice is out. Then she runs through endless simulations showing how their life will turn out if they stay together and at Cogito. Unfortunately, every version of that life turns out badly, with Reagan eventually pushing him away, leaving Ron completely unhappy. [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Not wanting to put him through that, she decides that, as much as it breaks her heart, Ron is better off without her and sets him up for a happy life with a different woman]].

* In the Part 2 finale, Reagan and Ron's relationship comes to head when Ron decides that he wants nothing to do with the shadow government and to erase his memories to get away from that life. Ron then tells Reagan that he loves her, and he wants her to come with him to start that new life. At the same time, the Robes offer Reagan a position as partner, overseeing the entire world for the greater good. Reagan tries to find a way to balance both of these lives, but every simulation shows that the work ruins their relationship, with only one where Ron is living happily with a wife and daughter. When Ron puts himself under for Reagan to implant his new memories, Reagan tearfully sets him up in his new life and then removes herself from it forever, and a flashback to the simulation shows his happy life is one without her. Reagan doesn't wipe her memories, however, wanting to remember what she gave up.

** It gets worse when you consider what kind of universe they are in, with all the mutants, cryptids, aliens and other species around, and the father being himself a MadScientist who manipulated Reagan's genes and created a reality-warping machine. Oh, and they have the cure for cancer as a bagel flavor. Rand doesn't run ''any'' test to check on the turtles, nor does he offers to help(which he is very likely able to), he is just immediately dismissive of Reagan and forces her to do the most brutal thing possible.
** And if it wasn't bad enough, Reagan grew up in isolation because of her intelligence. Even before Rand's intervention, she only had one real friend, with the other people mocking her. Rand was the only intellectual peer she had, and yet not only he was a neglectful and abusive parent, he never gave her any credit, respect or consideration, and even now that she is an adult he doesn't show any respect for her brilliance. Reagan grew up seeing herself too intelligent for the rest of the world, and yet never intelligent enough to deserve recognition.

** The way Ron's happy life is shown; we see him with a wife and child, but his wife is only ever shown from the back... because she ''isnt Reagan!'' It's not part of the potential future where both Reagan and Ron wipe their memories, it's the one that ultimately happens.
** One of the futures where Reagan and Ron stay together at Cognito is just heartbreaking - it shows Reagan brushing Ron off because she's busy with something in her office while he's trying to talk to her, he walks outside with a miserable look on his face, the door closes... and he wipes his own memory right then and there.

* At the start of the penultimate episode of Season 2, Project Reboot, it is believed Rand had activated the titular machine in order to try to get out of trouble with the Robes. When Reagan finds him though, he's disheveled and drinking heavily as he struggles to get the Machine to do what he really wants: Get Reagan and Tomiko back, without them hating him. Marking out each and every failed attempt, which is revealed to be over 100 attempts. Revealing that, despite having power, he actually deeply missed his wife and daughter and just wanted them back. Rand has been the most toxic, abusive person in Reagans life and it's only in this moment that he actually appears to realize as well as admit he's fucked everything up beyond repair between them all.

** There is also another level of tragedy to the future where Reagan tries to keep both the job and Ron. As much as Reagan hated Rand, [[TurnOutLikeHisFather she basically becomes him in all those futures by prioritizing Cogito and what she wants over her loved one, just as Rand did with her and Tamiko]]. The only way for her to avoid turning into Rand is to take the same advice she gave to him and let Ron go.
