* Dorothy’s discovery that Danny was her ''prison.'' While Danny truly cared for Dorothy, they still kept Dorothy locked up under Niles’ instructions. Dorothy ends up so hurt that she nearly destroys Danny out of rage and fear that she’ll be locked up again.
* Rita, tired from uncovering her repressed trauma, accidentally passes on her own image issues onto Dorothy in a moment of exhaustion. All Dorothy wanted was to hear was that she really was beautiful... only to be told to focus on “her other qualities.” The episode ends with Dorothy more alone and insecure than ever.
