All for Nothing: Reconstructed. On one hand, Ed and Pinako learning the creation's corpse isn't even the Elric Brothers' mother means the exchange that lost their limbs and body wasn't balanced. Their sacrifice got them something other than what they were promised. ...However, Ed isn't bothered by the implication, because it means two comforting things for him. First, he and Al didn't kill their mother a second time like they feared. Second, according to Ed, it means they can restore Al's body without using a Philosopher Stone after all.
Jerkass Has a Point: Downplayed. Hohenheim isn't being particularly malicious when he tells Ed that his burning down their family home was meant to bury the unpleasant memory of their mistake. However, from Ed's point of view, he sees his father as being coldly condescending and judgmental about his motives, which he has no right to when he himself allegedly abandoned his wife and children.
Nightmare Sequence: Ed has one of Truth taunting him for unintentionally severing his brother's soul from his body and having to bind it to a cold suit of armour so that they can set things right, followed by Shou Tucker reasserting that he and Ed are exactly the same, accompanied by Chimera!Nina.
Hohenheim shoots down Ed's "We burned down the house to strengthen our resolve to never turn back" explanation, before saying he was trying to escape the memory of his mistake. In short, he tells Ed he ran away. Ed snaps at him and walks off fuming at Hohenheim's words. Mysteriously, Hohenheim muses that Ed's acting just like he did when he was younger.
During Ed's Nightmare Sequence, he sees Shou Tucker and Chimera!Nina, and the former taunts Ed that they are exactly the same — they make monstersnote However, Tucker is only partially right — Ed (and Al) unintentionally created an abomination by their desperate and futile attempt to resurrect a loved one; Tucker intentionally fused his daughter and dog together in a desperate and idiotic attempt to maintain his State Alchemist certification.
Secretly Selfish: When Ed tries to justify that he and Al burnt down the family home in order to steel their resolve to never look back, Hohenheim calls Ed out on how this isn't true. The way he sees it, his sons did it because they were trying to hide their mistake of trying to bring their mother back, "like a child hiding the sheets after he wets the bed". If Ed's defensive reaction is any indication, he has his son pegged.
Wham Line: Hohenheim's question to Pinako, asking if she's certain the creature the Elric Brothers brought back was really their mother. This both disturbs Pinako and an (eavesdropping) Ed into realizing the brothers may have given their limbs and body in exchange for something that wasn't even their mother.
