- When Quana is eliminated, Spider tries to eliminate himself to save his girlfriend. It doesn't work, and Quana is sent off, with Spider sadly watching her until the boat disappears into the horizion...

- Vinnie sacrificing himself so that Uzuri can stay in the competition.
- When Nakia verbally attacked VayVay of her bisexuality, it hurt her so much, she broke down in tears.
- Jimmy getting himself eliminated because he felt like it was time for him to go.
- At the beginning of TDL3, Jimmy's entire family dies. On his 11th birthday. His scene ends with Eleanor comforting him.
- Nakia's mother, Annabelle, dying from a heart attack due to the stress of seeing what her daughter did and went through in TDL1 and TDL2. It affects Nakia so badly, she goes to place flowers over her grave at the beginning of TDL3, and is clearly still not over it.
- The scene where Kim tells her backstory to Steve. Just... the whole scene. Seeing how the horrible trauma Kim experienced as barely a teenager evolve until it reached a boiling point in TDL2 is really articulated in this scene, and it certainly helps the reader to understand Kim more as a character. To add, it's also one of the only moments in TDL3 where Steve is NOT happy-go-lucky.
