History TearJerker / MiloMurphysLaw

* The fate of the Lost Dakotas. Imagine it; you're living your life when someone taps you on the shoulder. It's your future self, who has traveled back in time to prevent the death of your friend. He hands you a postcard to an island. Congratulations! [[CloningBlues You have now been rendered obsolete]] and must leave civilization forever, cutting off all communication with anyone other than the previous versions of yourself who have taken the same path—''including'' the friend whose life you decided was worth the sacrifice. The latest Dakota, though stoically resigned to his fate, is about as thrilled by this prospect as you'd expect him to be, and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness seeing this typically upbeat and fun-loving character suddenly turn listless and grim]] does a lot to drive the point home. [[spoiler: Although the island-dwelling Dakotas have managed to achieve some happiness in each other's company, it's very clear that all of them miss Cavendish.]]

* 6-year old Milo first meets 6-year old Melissa, and the latter quickly learns of Murphy's Law. On the bus, she respectfully decided to not sit next to him and instead move to a seat far away. Little Milo is saddened by the fact that he has to sit all alone, as can be seen in the image on the top of this page. Sure, this moment of sadness is shortlived, as curiosity gets the better of Melissa, but still, you can't help but feel sad for the boy.

* As of May 19th 2019, the production crew has confirmed that Milo Murphy's Law has not been renewed for a third season, [[LeftHanging leaving the show on a cliffhanger.]]

* Cavendish and Dakota get ''banned from time travel''. Granted, they had violated time travel laws multiple times, but it mostly was to save humanity from the Pistachions, which no one from the future remembers due to the time stream being healed. Regardless, it still sucks that they saved the world ''twice'' and [[DudeWheresMyRespect instead of a reward, they get fired and banished]].

* The song that accompanies Ms. Baxter's DisneyAcidSequence through space-time is a ShoutOut to a famous song by Creator/DavidBowie, who died only a year before this episode aired.

* While killing Derek in the past saves the world from being taken over by Pistacio monsters, it also causes the giant Pistacio who pulled a HeelFaceTurn and volunteered at a soup kitchen.

* Elliot tells Milo that the world would be a better place without him. [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror His blank absence of reaction]] is almost worse than a response would be, given that everyone else reacts with the shock you'd expect.
