** Overkill sounds like he might cry when he tells the others the only way to save themselves is to sever [=DB=]'s equivalent to a spinal column. He's talking about killing the oldest friend he has left.
* At some point during the above, Overkill makes an offhand comment about the Flag 5 recruiting him from an orphanage. Aside from raising some serious questions about the Flag 5's hiring practices (how old was he?), that hints at his having lost at least ''three'' families: his original family, the Flag 5, and his A.E.G.I.S. squad.

* Dangerboat's past. When he became sentient, his A.E.G.I.S. handler, Michael King, should've turned him in, but instead became his friend (who he was clearly in love with). On [=DB=]'s first birthday, Michael surprised him with a cake, making [=DB=] so happy he lost track of his flying, just for a moment, and his friend ends up dead. Not just dead, but ''pulped'' and smeared across Dangerboat's interior.
** Years later, [=DB=] is so traumatised by this that even being reminded that he used to be able to fly sends him into a HeroicBSOD where he locks down and cleans his interior with fire... as if he's still trying to cleanse himself of Michael's shredded remains.
** In the episode, this happens with Tick, Arthur, Dot and Overkill inside him. As they desperately work to override the cleanse, Tick mentions that [=DB=] will be crushed when he comes around and realises he's killed even more people. Arthur points out that ''they'll'' likely feel much worse. Arthur is right, but so is Tick: imagine [=DB=] coming around from his HeroicBSOD to find he's killed ''four'' people this time, including someone else (Arthur) he loves.

* As a child, Arthur witnessed his father and heroic idols die in front of him, all in the same day. That moment has plagued him for all of his life.
** The Flag Five's final moments. As a result of their eyes having been burned out, every one of them is blind and clearly scared. The Terror also demonstrates a CruelMercy by crippling Straight Shooter instead of just killing him.
** The Terror [[ItMakesSenseInContext eating Arthur's ice cream.]] Then he sadistically taunts him over he he has lost everything.

* Arthur half-screaming, half-crying as he is falling out of the sky. What is really upsetting is him exclaiming: "I DON'T WANNA DIE!" Oh, Arthur...
* Dot angrily confronting Arthur over all of the secrets he has kept from her and how he is getting ''way in over his head.'' It's such an emotional moment that Overkill no longer feels like fighting The Tick anymore.
** Even worse near the end, where Dot is pleading with Arthur not to go after the Terror. As she quite correctly points out, people like them are just collateral damage... just like their father. And yes, she is in tears when she says all this.

* Arthur. The poor guy is hardly keeping it together throughout most of the series. It's understandable why the Tick is such a hugger. The few victories and genuine smiles he gets are enough to bring out tears of joy.
Added DiffLines:
* After another encounter with the Pyramid Gang, Arthur is left babbling, convinced that the Tick is imaginary and that he's on a deluded battle against untouchable criminals. Frankly it must be a massive weight off his shoulders when it turns out Dot can see the Tick as well.
Added DiffLines:
* Arthur briefly asserting that Walter is not his father. Walter quietly backs him up, as though they've been saying this for a long time now.

* The Tick's search for Arthur. He spends hours searching, but is so lost without him that he doesn't even think to search his apartment until someone else suggests it.

* A possible one depending on how you interpret Bakkup. Just when he and Tick seem to be getting along, his partner presses a button to set him on the attack again. If we assume this was wholly involuntary on his part, Tick would go on to destroy him, unaware that it wasn't their fault.
** Downplayed, but this is also the first time Tick befriending someone hasn't worked out.
