* HarsherInHindsight: Sheriff Root's story to [=DeBlanc=] and Fiore about the missing children in episode 3 is a bit of a gut punch for him. Especially with his son now missing.
** In the Season 1 finale, [[spoiler:the methane reactor powering the smalle town of Annville, Texas, explodes, destroying the town and killing everyone. In 2013, a fertilizer processing plant in the small town West, Texas exploded with the force of 10 tons of TNT, registering a 2.1 on the Richter scale and levelling the town.]]
** The Saint [[spoiler:killing Satan]] in the Season 3 finale is awesome, but then 3 months later, ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' [[spoiler:{{killed off|ForReal}} their own Satan]], and it's one of the show's biggest {{Tear Jerker}}s.

*** Season 3 [[BiTheWay off-handedly reveals that Cassidy is bisexual]] when he has a short-lived but very sincere relationship with Eccarius. So, even though Tulip is Cassidy's main love interest throughout the series, there's a good chance he genuinely would have been into it if Jesse had reciprocated.

* CompleteMonster: [[WickedWitch Marie L'Angelle]] is the head of the Angelville plantation, as well as Jesse Custer's [[EvilMatriarch grandmother]] and a major source of pain in his life. Years ago, Marie made a DealWithTheDevil himself to make herself [[ImmortalityImmorality virtually immortal]] by [[YourSoulIsMine consuming the souls of others]], stealing them from clients who don't pay their debts for her voodoo services. After her daughter, Christina, eloped with John Custer, [[OffingTheOffspring Marie ordered Christina's stomach cut open]] when she tried to hide a photo of Jesse from her. After ordering the death of John Custer, she forcefully took Jesse under her wing, physically and emotionally abusing him while trying to keep him under her thumb and forcing him to participate in her twisted family business. Many years after leaving that life behind, Jesse returns to Angelville to have Marie bring Tulip O'Hare BackFromTheDead, but it comes at the price of a blood contract. With her holding Tulip's life as leverage and threatening to consume her soul out of a sense of entitlement, Jesse is forced into Marie's service and subject to the same abuse once again until he can get his soul back from the Grail. Motivated solely by her desire to live forever and someone who sees people, even her own family, as little more than tools that she can dispose of once she has no further use for them, Marie L'Angelle is a cruel, [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], vengeful, and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] human being that sticks out like a sore thumb in a setting that runs on BlackAndGrayMorality.

* CompleteMonster: [[WickedWitch CompleteMonster:
** {{God|Is Evil}} himself is a primordial being who existed before all creation. Growing lonely, God created the universe, Heaven and Hell, and angels and demons to keep him company, which led to the eternal bloody war between the two races. [[PsychopathicManchild Unsatisfied]] with the love that the angels gave him, God decided to create another species that would love him more. First he created the dinosaurs, which [[PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs he wiped out]] after he saw one of them eating its own excrement. Then he created humanity and started [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating]] them into doing horrible things to see how much they loved him, such as ordering Abraham to sacrifice his son, only stopping him at the last moment to make it look like a test of faith. At one point in time, after arranging the events that would take the lives of the Saint of Killers's family, God grew slowly bored with humanity. In the present day, escaping from Heaven, God leads the ancient Christian organization, the Grail, in preparing the Apocalypse, in order to [[KillAllHumans destroy all of humanity]] and replace it with another species, which he created to love him above all.

** Jesse and Cassidy develop plenty over the course of the series, particularly on Cassidy's side. After one meeting with him, Cassidy becomes curiously loyal to Jesse. In "Finish the Song", after talking things out and patching up their friendship, Cassidy asks Jesse if they should shag now or just cuddle and hold hands. While he's clearly joking, it sure seems like he wouldn't say no either if Jesse were unexpectedly up for it.

* DuelingShows: Mildly with ''Series/{{Outcast}}'' - the two premiered just a fortnight apart, each has a 10 episode run, both are based on comic books, were commissioned on the back of the success of ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' (''Outcast'' is actually based on another Kirkman series); and deal with themes of Christianity in contemporary America and demonic possession in a CrapsackWorld. However, so far the "duels" seem to have mostly been done in the spirit of fun, with reviewers largely recommending that the shows pair well together.

* CompleteMonster: [[WickedWitch Marie L'Angelle]] is the head of the Angelville plantation, as well as Jesse Custer's [[EvilMatriarch grandmother]] and a major source of pain in his life. Years ago, Marie made a DealWithTheDevil himself to make herself [[ImmortalityImmorality virtually immortal]] by [[YourSoulIsMine consuming the souls of others]], stealing said souls from clients who don't pay their debts for her voodoo services. After her daughter, Christina, eloped with John Custer, [[OffingTheOffspring Marie ordered Christina's stomach cut open]] when she tried to hide a photo of Jesse from her. After ordering the death of John Custer, she forcefully took Jesse under her wing, physically and emotionally abusing him while trying to keep him under her thumb and forcing him to participate in her twisted family business. Many years after leaving that life behind, Jesse returns to Angelville to have Marie bring Tulip O'Hare BackFromTheDead, but it comes at the price of a blood contract. With her holding Tulip's life as leverage and threatening to consume her soul out of a sense of entitlement, Jesse is forced into Marie's service and subject to the same abuse once again until he can get his soul back from the Grail. Motivated solely by her desire to live forever and someone who sees people, even her own family, as little more than tools that she can dispose of once she has no further use for them, Marie L'Angelle is a cruel, [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], vengeful, and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] human being that sticks out like a sore thumb in a setting that runs on BlackAndGrayMorality.
