* Nicky is in a lot of emotional distress in “So Long, Marianne”, as this is the first Thanksgiving he’s spent with family in fifty years. He is pained to be around them, as he believes Jack erased him entirely and he feels uncomfortable being apart of their celebration. Later, he is so moved when Randall mentions Jack talking about a Leonard Cohen song when he was a kid(the same song Nicky talked to Jack about when they were young adults), that he cries silently.

* William's death ''' full stop''' - [[ForegoneConclusion we all saw it coming, we knew it was eventually going to happen sooner then later]]. And it still hit viewers in the gut. From when Randall takes him to the hospital to when William calls him my "beautiful boy", it's just so ''heartbreaking''.
