* The heartbroken looks on the Doom Patrol's faces after Niles admits that their "accidents" were all caused by him. Jane and the other personalities especially don't take this truth well ''at all''.
--> '''Hammerhead:''' (''broken laughter with tears streaming down her face'') ''Liar''.



** Jane has taken to drugging herself into oblivion to completely shut down her powers. She' so out of it that the only reason she doesn't starve to death is because Cliff keeps buying food and bringing it to her.

Added DiffLines:

* A special mention should go to Jane and the other personalities who looked up to Niles as a father/friendly figure. Some of the personalities like Hammerhead and Sylvia nearly hurt Joshua in their rage until Jane manages to reign them back.
--> '''Jane:''' Did you know?\\
'''Joshua:''' About what?\\
'''Hammerhead:''' (''climbs onto the table and grabs Joshua by the collar'') About what that sadistic ''fuck'' did to us? You ''fucking''-!\\
'''Baby Doll:''' No... No, no. He promised!! (''breaks down wailing'')\\
'''Sylvia:''' He was gonna cage us here. Cage us like the rest of them. Wasn't he? Seeking caged birdies with pretty
feathers for the master to ''pluck''-!\\
(''Jane takes over in time to stop her outstretched hand from reaching Joshua'')


Added DiffLines:

* While they do manage to get back together to help Danny, Jane and the others make it clear that they're only doing this for Danny. In no way have they forgiven Niles for what he's done and it's likely he'll never regain their friendship ever again.

* Vic attempting to use the dating app. After being swamped with messages from Cyborg fangirls, Vic asks Grid to filter out the results of anyone searching for "Cyborg". He receives a match to a pretty young nurse, and the two strike up a nice conversation. Then she asks him for a fresh photo, which Vic sends. The worst part is, Grid has hacked a camera feed showing Vic the girl responding in real-time, therefore allowing Vic to see her recoil in horror at the photo, which prompts him to delete his profile.
