* In "The Unkindest Cut," Elaine goes to a nasty, sardonic cosmetologist (played by a pre-fame Creator/TedDanson) who deliberately gives her a horrible hairstyle and then throws insults at her when she protests. The rest of the Sunshine crew heads back to the salon to get some revenge, and the hairdresser fills a bowl with red hair dye and hands it to Elaine, saying that she's free to ruin his own coif if she wants to. After a few moments of temptation, Elaine ultimately [[WhatYouAreInTheDark takes the high road]] and puts the bowl down, reasoning that walking away from the bully instead of giving him any more power is the proper thing to do.
** It's immediately followed by an awesome moment from Louie (in one of his rare JerkWithAHeartOfGold moments), who promptly picks up the bowl and pours it on the stylist himself--as he says, Elaine may be too good for revenge, but ''he'' isn't!
