!!#229 Der Tag der Toten (The Day of the Dead)
* Linus Wade's memories of his father's funeral. It's a traumatic moment for him: between his sobbing mother and throwing 'Jumpy', his Teddy Bear, to join his father in his grave. His hypnotism session reveals he still is plagued by memories, even if subconcious.
** Peter getting disturbed after witnessing the hypnotism session, which the book explains is because he still remembers what happened to him in 'Im Haus dem Henkers'. He seems to be showing signs of [=PTSD=] and turns the radio to a happy song to feel better.

* It's quite common for Jupiter or Bob not to really take Pete's anxiety and fears too seriously, at worst it's even treated as an inconvenience. A lot of the times, his fears are PlayedForLaughs or a RunningGag because of how ridiculous his fears can be (which is not entirely unfounded considering how outrageous some of Pete's paranormal theories get). But sometimes, he is shown to be truly terrified by the things in question, and it's not like he can control it. In some works, the way Pete's terror are presented feel more in-line with a genuine panic attack then just acting like a scaredy-cat (gasping for air, fast heartbeat, growing pale). It doesn't help that Jupiter often dismisses his anxiety by just telling him that he should just 'stop' or that it's 'nonsense'. Jupiter is trying to be logical to help his friend calm down, but dismissing his fears is not really the way to go about it.

[[AC:#31 The Mystery of the Scar-Faced Beggar]]
* Jupiter's simple but sad explanation to Hector Sebastian that Alfred Hitchcock has died in-story.
-->'''Hector Sebastian''', ''in regards to the description of the bank robbery'': Terrific! It sounds like the beginning of a Hitchcock movie. ''Jupe immediately looked crestfallen.'' What's the matter? Did I say something wrong?
-->'''Jupe''': Not really. It's only that Mr. Hitchcock was a friend of ours. When Bob wrote up our cases, Mr. Hitchcock used to introduce them for us. We felt very bad when he died, and we miss him.

He was forced to take the blame for his brother all because his mother wanted her "good son" to die with a good reputation. And he's been forced to live with those consequences for the rest of his life.

* This book has another example of how much playing 'Baby Fasto' has really affected Jupiter. He understandably becomes furious that he's been tricked by a child's riddle and has a hard time working through that shame in betrayal, because it reminds him of all the times the other child actors used to ridicule him. Jupiter may have overreacted a bit, but it's still understandable.

Needless to say, Mrs. Hazelwood is absolutely devastated by this revelation.

While it's not the first time the Investigators have been arrested, this is the first time that its completely legitimate and Jupiter really is in the wrong. Aunt Mathilda and Uncle Titus have to pay Jupiter's bail and both Peter and Bob's parents (and Kelly in Peter's case) ban them from hanging out with each other. Although Jupiter did break the law, it's really hard not to feel sorry for him in the events that follow his arrest. Thankfully, his deductions were still completely spot on and he is able to throw the accusations off his back because Pentecost was convicted.
