* GrowingTheBeard: Season 2 is generally regarded as a improvement over season 1. Much of the ambiguity and sillier aspects are downplayed, and it has the characters pursue rational choices, making for a much more solid arc.

This is brought up in season 2 and is cinfirmed to be French seeing an image of Homer in the mirror. It's effectively determined to be a hallucination due to stress.


* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [[spoiler: While going through the OA's house,]] French takes a second to go to the bathroom...and sees Homer reflected back in the mirror. There's no explanation for the phenomenon, whether it was real or imagined, or just symbolism to draw a comparison between the two characters. And it is dropped as swiftly as it came up.

* HeartwarmingMoments: The five using the movements [[spoiler:to stop a school shooting]]. Sure, the dance is silly, so much so that MaybeMagicMaybeMundane, [[spoiler:the shooter may have just been utterly confused instead of stopped by divine force]], but in the face of doubt that the movements are even real, the five do it with absolute conviction and faith in The OA. So much so that [[spoiler:The OA who saw the whole thing holds her hand over her chest with an expression that seems more overcome with joy than any realization of the fact that she was just shot in the chest.]]
