You don't wanna mess with this family.

    open/close all folders 
     Season 1 
The Matter Transfer Array
  • For anyone who's been bullied or profiled, Yumyulack shrinking Linda and tormenting her for a couple of hours is very satisfying. It especially helps that Linda is Too Dumb to Live and Yumyulack thinks she'd be a better benefit to the world by completing scientific experiments.
  • Yumyulack calmly shows with his shrink ray and acid that he could trounce the humans around him at any time. The only reason he doesn't is that he promised Terry and Korvo that he'd make an effort to not get into trouble at school.

The Unstable Gray Hole

  • Ruth shows why she is the HOA head; when the election devolves into a fistfight thanks to Terry, Korvo and their nanobots, she gives a Big "SHUT UP!" and tells off everyone. She gets a unanimous vote.
  • When Jesse confesses to using mind control to teach Yumyulack a lesson about kindness, he's mad but more concerned that she'll get killed by the Neo-Nazis cornering them. It turns out he wears a suit that will kill people on autopilot.
  • Pupa goes on an epic quest to defeat crows and clone a man's leg. The fact that he does it to steal candy from a vending machine does not make it any less awesome.

The Quantum Ring

  • Tim goes from an Everyman in an office shirt to a toothpick archer, getting Cherie out of the terrarium wilderness before she's assaulted.
  • Cherie adjusts fairly well to the Wall, using her Benihana chef skills to defend Pedro from rioters.

The Booster Manifold

  • The Pupa frees a bunch of animals, dressed like fictional characters, from an auction.

Terry and Korvo Steal A Bear

  • The Duke, despite being the Arc Villain, manages to escape the Wall. Cherie even notes that the tunnel is a game-changer.
  • Cherie busting Tim out of prison right at the Darkest Hour.
  • In a dark sense, the fact that Tim stabs Cherie so that no one ever finds out about the tunnel escape and establishes himself as a new ruler. It shows that He Who Fights Monsters came into play.

    Season 2 
The Sacred Non-Repeating Number
  • Korvo tricking the rich Schlorpians in leaving Earth and taking care of Jesse's very ill dog by making them believe it's the Pupa.

The Unlikely Demise of Terry's Favorite Shot

  • Cherie managed to survive an incredibly high drop and mend her own wounds with nothing but the limited resources of the Solars' backyard. She and the Duke manage to hide out for months in an abandoned toy spaceship, even keeping Cherie healthy during a pregnancy.
  • After the Duke's death, a heavily pregnant Cherie traverses to Walgreen's all alone to find resources. She gives birth alone while stuck in a Pez dispenser, but after that horrifying and messy ordeal, she simply straps on her baby and keeps going. Even after the Walgreen's turns out to not exist, she just turns around and braves going back into the Wall like a true Determinator.

A Very Solar Holiday Opposites Special

  • The big fight scene in Jamie's tower between the Solar Opposites and the guards, set to a Matrix-like rendition of "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy" from The Nutcracker.

    Season 4 
The Re-Visibility Bouillabaisse
  • Sister Sisto and her remaining followers finds out too late that the "heathens" had long left the Wall for the backyard after Montez warned them. Once they left, they blocked the exit to the outside and trapping Sisto and her zealots inside the Wall that is now irreversibly freezing cold. Even better, they left a mocking message for Sisto that causes her to scream in rage: "Have fun freezing to DEATH!!!"
  • Sister Sisto gets stomp to death by Jessie, who then helps in restoring the heat to the Wall at Nova's request. Nova finally realized Sisto's deceptions and becomes the new leader of the Wall, promising to undo Sisto's crimes and one day mending peace with the "heathens".
