** What makes it sadder is that up to that point, Dorothy idolized and trusted Rita more than any of the others - she was "the fair princess", and Dorothy would likely have done anything for her approval. But on a night where Dorothy was already heartbroken about Danny lying to her, Rita's answer implies that ''she'' was lying, too, and thus Dorothy no longer trusts her.

Worse, this is eerily similar to how Rita's relationship with her own mother was destroyed.

* After Niles coaxes Baby Doll to the surface, she is seen crying and screaming and trying to get as far away from him as possible, having remembered how he betrayed her and manipulated her for years. And yet all it takes is for him to calmly apologize and promise that he'll do better and she immediately jumps into his lap, even as she's still crying about how she hates him and how much the drugs hurt her.
* It's subtle, but when Niles first introduces Baby Doll to Dorothy, Dorothy is in a protective stance, with her hands clasped protectively over her stomach. She only relaxes after Baby Doll's attention is no longer focused entirely on her.

* Much of Cliff's resentment towards Dorothy was fueled by his belief that the same man who coldly deposited his brain inside a robot body was doting on Dorothy. Here, he gets to witness Niles' actual beliefs on fatherhood, consisting of a MotiveRant about how Dorothy is a selfish, ungrateful girl who has to be locked away for her own protection and the protection of everyone around her. And this is the exact moment that Cliff realizes that Dorothy is not the beneficiary of Caulder's experiments, but another victim.

* Flex Mentallo's reunion with his wife Dolly is equal parts touching and tragedy. As the Bureau of Normalcy has sadistically implanted a [[ExplosiveLeash flesh-eating parasite]] on her which kicks in when she reunites with her husband. The poor old lady is given a CruelAndUnusualDeath by slowly disintegrating in Flex's arms. You can easily feel Flex's misery as he show's his sorrow by flexing. Which would normally be {{Narm-y}} but veers into NarmCharm by just how horrifying and sad the whole situation is.
