As is the case with all "Moments" pages, Spoilers Off applies!!!


  • After her premonition, Wendy freaks out and needs to be escorted out, with some other passengers getting off as well. Jason asks the attendant to let him off too, but the other passengers start chanting loudly "Hey! Ho! Let's Go!" until the attendant restarts the ride. When Wendy realizes this, she rushes back inside, screaming for Jason to be let off. She's too late and escorted out again, just in time to see the whole accident unravel and Jason dies, leaving her in tears. And that's just the beginning of the deadly trauma the poor girl would go through.
  • During the scene where Wendy and Kevin are trying to find out who could be next on Death's list by looking through the photos that she had taken the night of the accident, they come across a photo of Carrie. That's when Kevin sadly reveals to Wendy that he was going to propose to Carrie after graduation. That moment becomes even more devastating when you remember that before she died, Carrie confided in Wendy that she was going to break up with him. No wonder Wendy didn't have the heart to tell Kevin the truth... the poor guy's been through enough!
  • While there's a bit of Black Comedy to it, Ian's speech/breakdown during Ashley and Ashlyn's funeral can strike home as he says how they never did anything bad to anyone and still suffered a particularly Cruel and Unusual Death before their eighteenth birthdays. This scene is also a bit of Jerkass Has a Point mixed with Pet the Dog.
    Ian: "Equal"? In Death's eyes? All of us, how can you say that?!
    Funeral attendee: Shut up, McKinley!
    Ian: Dude, think it through; Charlie Manson made it to 70. Osama? Still kicking! Pimps, vice presidents, walking around. With all the atrocities they've committed, they're alive and well! These two girls, who've... never done shit to anybody, they don't get to make it to 18? Where's the fucking equality in that?
  • Every scene where Wendy and Kevin mourn Jason and Carrie, especially Wendy numbly walking through the rain and the cemetery scene. In the latter scene, Wendy talks about how she's been trying to feel Jason's presence for closure, but what she's been feeling instead, non-stop, is the presence of Death, which is the exact opposite of how Jason would make her feel.
  • Wendy finding out that Julie is on Death's list and her reaction to that.
  • While Ian was a massive turd who tried to get Wendy killed for something that wasn't her fault, Ian loved Erin. It's obvious he's grieving over his girlfriend's bloody death and reacting in the worst possible way.
