* Leonard being forced to kill Mick, his best friend, after he betrays everyone. Mick was not only his best friend for so many years, he also saved Leonard's life. But, Mick became too dangerous to keep around, and would have killed their friends... so Leonard kills him. Even he's in tears, being forced to kill his best friend...and he couldn't go through with it.

** Even worse, had Rip ''not'' pulled Sara from the timeline, she would have died as well... along with her father. And even if they brought back the Team...

* Dr Nate Heywood's initial impression of his grandfather Commander Steel in person, is not a good one. First, he gets knocked out by him... rather aggressively, and then is taken aback by his "steel" personality.

** Also crossed into [[NightmareFuel Nightmare Fuel]] for Rex: he's never encountered a speedster before, so finding himself shoved against a wall in a flash of red-lightning, confronted by a blurry yellow figure with demonic [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], and getting his heart crushed... that would be pretty scary.
*** Rex only managed to tell Amaya: "Time traveler", leading her to mistakingly believe the Legends were behind his death. In the next episode, Amaya stows aboard the Waverider, and goes on a [[RevengeBeforeReason grief-stricken rampage]] which is also somewhat awesome. She nearly kills Mick and tries to kill Nate when he stops her. If she had [[AcquittedTooLate BEFORE]] Sara had told that the time traveler was someone else, then Amaya would have only added to her grief with the knowledge that she killed the wrong man... though not necessarily an innocent one, [[HisNameIs all because Rex could not finish his last words...]]

* After Ali suggests that Mick gets to know his daughter, Mick instead wipes Ali and Lita's memories of the episode's events. He later their similarities and tells Zari that Lita not having followed in his footsteps and ended up in juvie is a miracle that proves that she's better off without him.

* The very fact that up until the final episode Sara is still traveling amid the time stream and has no knowledge of her sister being killed.

** Which is more heartbreaking as his mom died of a heart attack when he vanished so his sacrifice was for nothing.

* The very fact that up until the final episode Sara is still traveling amid the time stream and has no knowledge of her sister being killed.
* A lot of people wonder why Carter is so rushing and so impatient with Kendra and they don't realize, the man's freaking ''desperate''. He's tired and depressed and desperate because he's seen Kendra, someone he loves more than life itself die over 206 times. He just wants to get it right for one life, even if it means risking others. Poor guy needs a hug.

--> '''John''' [[Film/{{Chinatown}} Forget it, Ray. It's Burbank.]] (''walks away'')

** [[spoiler: When you think about it, it [[DejaVu parallels very closely]] with Carter's death back in Season 1. Both died in just in the second episode, without warning. Both partners were heartbroken. What makes this worse though, is that Rex is not coming back in the next life.]]

* Sara telling Nate "Out here, even the best and bravest of us die." He assumes "You mean Rip?" and she doesn't respond. The sadness comes when you realize who she actually is talking about...[[spoiler:Leonard Snart]]. In fact, her continued, subtle references to him are equally painful.

* Poor Zari has a total breakdown halfway through the episode, as her repeated failures to save the ship and stop the time loop pushes her past the DespairEventHorizon, to the point she [[DrivenToSuicide tries to shoot herself]], with only the fact the gun is unloaded stopping her. [[spoiler: Later, there's her willingness to sacrifice herself to save the others, giving them a heartfelt FinalSpeech beforehand. Fortunately, this is when it's revealed to all just be a simulation.]]

-->'''Ava:''' [[spoiler:There's no "me" to love]].

* [[spoiler: Rip sacrificing himself to delay Mallus and give the Legends time to escape.]]
** [[spoiler: As he walks to his death, Rip remembers Sara saying that since he feels like an outcast who doesn't belong anywhere, it sounds like he's a Legend.]]
* [[spoiler: Damien Darhk, of all people, performing a HeroicSacrifice to save Nora. Her breaking down in tears when she realizes what he's done for her is heartbreaking.]]

* The very fact that up until the final episode Sara is still traveling amid the time stream and has no knowledge of [[spoiler: her sister being killed.]]

* The Dominators' proposal: they leave Earth alone if Barry [[HeroicSacrifice gives himself up to them]]. And even though it's ''painfully'' clear that this won't work, given his still lingering guilt over causing Flashpoint (which is also the reason ''why'' they're attacking), Barry is completely willing to do this.
** What doesn't help matters is that a majority of the team is aware that how they reacted to learning about Flashpoint may have fueled his decision.
*** A minor moment, when Stein gets a message on his phone about this, he tells his daughter that "[his] friend Barry" [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything is about to do something horrible]].
* After Cisco learns that by freeing the Dominator in 1951, he altered time for the worse when he ''meant'' to do it for the better, he ''[[JerkassRealization finally]]'' realizes the full scope behind Barry creating Flashpoint.
** Crosses into a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} when he goes and tells Barry to not [[HeroicSacrifice give himself to the Dominators]], calling him his friend once again.
* Stein has a hard time coping with the fact that he has a daughter now due to altering the timeline, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman viewing her less as a person and more as a mistake in the timeline that needs to be fixed]].
** And although she doesn't know the full story behind his behavior towards her, Lily is ''clearly'' being affected by this, as Caitlin points out to him, [[JerkassRealization prompting him to apologize to her]].
** This one deserves special mention. Imagine everything from Lily's perspective. For nearly 30 years, she's had a loving parent raise her and help shape her into the brilliant scientist she is today--a typical sweet father-daughter relationship. And now, all of a sudden (from her perspective), he has lost every single memory he's ever had of her. This hasn't ''yet'' been revealed to her as he's been able to fool her so far, but he obviously will not be able to keep the charade forever... and if/when she learns the truth, not only will she find out that her father has no memory of her, but that ''[[TomatoInTheMirror she shouldn't even exist in the first place]]''. Ouch.

!! Season 3

* Zari is Retgonned from existence due to altering the timeline, with her brother taking her place. What’s worse is nobody notices, sans Nate who brushes it off shortly after.
