Episode 3: "Stained Glass"

• Ultimately, what Tyrone wants most is just to have his brother back.
• Tandy choosing to stay and try and fight for herself just as the investigation into her attempted rape gets shut down. Watching O'Reilly tell her this is what's saddest about this moment.
• During the journey through their minds, we get a look at what Tandy and Tyrone really think of themselves, represented by younger versions of themselves. Tyrone is given endless checks but he keeps crying because he doesn't feel like he deserves any of it and every good thing just makes him feel more guilty. Tandy gives out drugs to people, steadily killing them while they smile at her, representing her self-image of dealing out death and pain to everyone around her.

Episode 4 "Call/Response"

• In the final scenes watching Tandy desperately sorting pills and clamping headphones down over her ears, just trying to block out the feelings after watching Greg die and hearing her mother trying to call him despite breaking up with him.
  "I was scared. And stupid."

Episode 6: "Funhouse Mirrors"

• Tyrone weeping over Duane and Tandy unable to comfort him.
  • Making it sadder is that Duane was one of Tyrone’s few connections to his brother Billy.

Episode 7: "Lotus Eaters"

• Tandy hearing her Dad's voice on the phone. It makes her cry as well as the audience.
• Tyrone admitting that he's forgotten the sound of his brother's voice.
  • Later, him and Tandy listening to an old recording of the two of them. Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment.
• The question and response that proves to Tandy that what she's experiencing isn't real:
  Tandy: Who's in the back seat of your car?
  Fake!Nathan: Nobody.
• Ivan finally remembers who he is... because he remembers his daughter.

Episode 8: "Ghost Stories"

• Tandy going through her mother's memory and finding out that her father, rather than being an innocent family man, was actually a Domestic Abuser who hit and terrorized her mother over minor things and who her mother had to shield her from.
• The night Billy died, Tyrone was so terrified that he slept at the end of his parents' bed, afraid that he'd lose them too.
• O'Reilly and Fuchs finally get a Relationship Upgrade, with her admitting that yes, she is indeed eating Girlfriend Pancakes. And they make plans for more pancakes tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that... and the episode ends with her walking into his place, calling for celebration pancakes, only to find his body in the fridge.

Episode 9: "Back Breaker"

• O'Reilly comes face first with the reality of how corrupt her fellow officers truly are. She suffers a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Connors after trying to blow the whistle on him and get him arrested for his crimes, and none of her fellow officers step in to try and stop it.

Episode 10: "Colony Collapse"

• The fate of all previous Divine Pairings, with one dying each time. The most tragic is the first recorded, before New Orleans was even conceived: a little girl no older than ten drowning herself to save her people.
• Even though the ending is happy overall, Tyrone is still on the run and blamed for Fuchs' murder. His mother gets some consolation out of the fact that he's safe, at least. But when Otis first finds him and tells him to run as far away as he can, you can just see how all their fears have come to the surface.

Episode 2: White Lines

• Turns out Tandy wasn't quite being honest when she said she thought her mom suffering in silence was heroic... she lashes out at Makayla for not leaving her boyfriend.
  Tandy: If he hits you, you leave! If you stay, that's a choice!

Episode 3: "Shadow Selves"

• Seeing what was left of the girls inside after being taken by the gang slavers. Just fear and a small girl curled up and crying where hope should be.

Episode 6: "B Sides"

• How does Andre make Tandy give into her despair? By creating a vision where he kills Tyrone, and telling her that she hurts everyone she touches.

Episode 9: "Blue Note"

• Andre sucked Lia in by promising to give her her dream of being a musician. Instead he kept her drained of just enough hope to keep her functional, but not enough to be willing to escape his horrorshow.
