* Ned and Aubrey's confrontation in Episode 27 about [[spoiler: Ned stealing the Flamebright Pendant is absolutely heartbreaking. Worse, this ends up being the last scene they have together before Ned dies.]]

* [[spoiler: Billy dying in Episode 32 due to being in our world for too long and Duck having to use Beacon to [[MercyKill put him out of his misery]]]].

* [[spoiler:When Aubrey sees Ned's body, she tries healing him, only to realize it does nothing.

* Duck's fear is made even more apparent in episode 7. During their encounter with the Water he's overcome by fear and self-doubt enough to [[DeerInTheHeadlights freeze up entirely]] mid-battle.

* Episode 20 shows Duck is not taking being BroughtDownToNormal well. Not only does he have various [[FreakOut freak outs]] throughout the episode but when Leo tosses Beacon at him and charges at him to stir a heroic reaction, all Duck does is throw Beacon back and curl up in a fetal position.

* Episode 19 finally reveals Minerva's complete backstory: She was the war councilor to her home planet, Miralaviniax Orbital Body 5. When her world was connected to another planet much like Earth and Sylvain, Minerva personally made the decision for her people to go to war against the invading InsectoidAliens. However, the other world's armies proved too strong, and Minerva's people were all but completely wiped out. As a final act of desperation, Minerva had the scientists of her world create a bioweapon capable of wiping out an entire species. She delivered the payload herself, effectively making her responsible for the death of two worlds. Finally, Minerva reveals that the meteor Duck saw in his vision is headed towards her homeworld and will destroy the device that she is using to communicate with him. She bids Duck farewell and is presumably PutOnABus for good unless she finds another transmitter.

* Episode 16 results in the culmination of Aubrey's guilt regarding the fire that killed her mom and nearly killing Duck in episode 14. She breaks down and asks Janelle if she can take away her powers, afraid that she'll keep hurting people with them.

** The other whammy comes from Ned, who hears Aubrey's conversation with Mama and realizes he was one of the people who broke into her house on that fateful night. Knowing that he's at least partially to blame for such a traumatic event for her can't be easy on his conscience, especially given that Clint specifically talked about when designing the character that he wasn't the sort of criminal who wanted to hurt anyone.
