* Tuca and Bertie crying in each other's arms after they've spend the last few days being mad at each other, eventually [[OcularGushers filling the entire car up with their tears]] until [[OpeningTheFloodGates the doors burst open]]. While it's a hilarious joke, it's true to how much real best friends hate being mad at each other.
* Bertie's backstory about being [[RapeAsBackstory molested by a swim instructor when she was 12]]. Near the end of the episode when Bertie goes swimming again, she has a vision of herself hugging a silhouette of her 12-year-old self.

While one of them did realize their insensitivity and gave an imperfect apologies, the other two grew up never learning anything from the incident.

[[AC:The One Where Bertie Gets Eaten By a Snake]]
* Tuca finds Figgy in a horribly wasted state after three days of solo drinking, but he insists that she not try to tell him to stop. Tuca almost agrees, but then realizes that she cares about him too much to let him treat himself like this and breaks up with him. It's heavily implied this was traumatic to see due to her own near-death experiences with alcoholism.

!!Season 3

[[AC:Leveling Up]]
* As over the top as it gets, this episode shows that Tuca is so insecure paranoid that she'll hurt others that she self-sabotages any actual progress she makes in her life. Despite all the progress she's made, she's convinced that all her past failures make her incapable of actually thriving in work or relationships.

[[AC:The Pain Garden]]
* Tuca's struggle with her inexplicable chronic uterine pain and her fear that it'll keep her from living a normal life is a very real and very tragic problem. By the end of the episode, even professional doctors can't solve all her problems, though it is heartwarming that Figgy accepts her issues and takes care of her.

* Tuca's and Bertie's big fight brings up massively personal feelings between them. After that, they stop speaking to each other for a long time.
-->'''Tuca:''' I always drop everything to help you!
-->'''Bertie:''' I pray for the day you ''can't'' just drop everything to help me because you actually have a '''job!'''

* Tuca almost drowning because after two days of no word from Kara, who promised she would call right after work, she thinks Kara is in danger and needs her. As it turns out, Kara's fine and enjoying herself with her friends. When Tuca calls out to her, she just smiles, shrugs, and turns her back without a word, leaving Tuca to break down crying. In other words, she almost died from the flood, risking her life to see if Kara would even respond, yet Kara doesn't even care if Tuca's fine or not.
