* Most of Kieren's early interactions with Jemma are this from his POV. its implied that before the rising, Jemma almost hero worshipped Kieren, so to now have such a hostile and broken relationship with her clearly causes him a hell of a lot of emotional pain.
* The flash back of Jemma [[spoiler: finding Kieren rabid in the supermarket. At this point she's a big bad HVF fighter, but she still cannot bring herself to pull the trigger on her big brother. This particular event is one that continues to haunt her, all the way through to season 2]]

* Seeing the full extent of [[spoiler: what was done to Simon to get the cure. It starts with us seeing the scar, but it gets so much worse than that]].
** His endless hope that he can be cured and sent home to his family is particularly painful as you know [[spoiler: its not going to happen, not the way he wants]].
** Him deciding he no longer wants to be [[spoiler: experimented on, and he asks the scientists to stop. And the scientists ignore him.

to:

\n* The whole first season is really an exploration of not only what it means to be different, but also what [[spoiler: suicide]] does to the people left behind. How does a family even begin to heal from that?
* When Amy finds out how Kieren died. She starts to realise over the course of the conversation that it [[spoiler: wasn't from natural causes]]. So she very quietly asks "How did you croak, Kieren Walker?", and in response [[spoiler: he roles up his sleeves]].
* Kieren finding [[spoiler: Ricks dead body in from of the garage door]]. Him screaming at Ricks dad shows the sort of pain and isolation that Kieren must have felt, being gay in a small community. His cries of this being the 'one shot' they had to fix it, to get Rick back, are particularly heart wrenching

* The funeral.


Added DiffLines:

* Jemma PTSD is explored extensively, and we get to see the awful affects that something like that could have on a teenager
** Her being unable to visit the supermarket without having flash backs
** In the last episode, her finally tearfully admitting to Kieren that she really needs some help. Their relationship has been strained over the whole show, not just because of his PDS, but also because he was a good 5 years or so older than her, and now she is older than him so their dynamic has changed. But in this scene, Jemma needs her big brother, and thats what she gets.
