* It's revealed that the Heavensbees are a prominent family in the Capitol, meaning that Plutarch despite coming from that wealth; power and security still would eventually choose to ''throw in with the rebellion'' and do everything he could to make sure that they won in the end because it was ''what was right''. It also means he'll succeed where Sejanus failed too. That we hear from his ancestor Hilarius here about making sure his tribute Wovey is well fed and has a fighting chance also shows that it's not a cycle that Plutarch necessarily broke away from with his own actions either—and that ''members of his own family'' also had a history of fighting vigorously for the underdog as well.

* As the snakes coil around Lucy Gray after everyone else is dead, she at first softly sings and then starts belting out "The Old Therebefore" as [[FaceDeathWithDignity she puts her arm around ready to be taken at any moment]]—without knowing her safety has actually for the most part been guaranteed, but [[DefiantToTheEnd passionately doing what she loves in the process]]. The act is more than enough to win every single person watching over. It's only when everyone in the room starts chanting to let her out that Gaul is finally willing to allow her to be pulled to safety and declared the winner.

* Due to Snow's reputation of killing rivals years later, that Gaul likely was killed in an YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness way by Snow despite her being [[GreaterScopeVillain the one who molded him into what he became]]. Even then, the last trace of her evil also dies with Snow too.

* Thanks to his relationship with Lucy Gray here, Snow is retroactively proud and rather impressed with Katniss's defeat of him in his remaining moments as well as her willingness to prevent President Alma Coin from just continuing the cycle too.

It's pure bad luck if she did fail to avoid his attempts to shoot her and get away, not any mistake or hesitation on her part.
* Coriolanus' murder of Casca Highbottom at the end. Blink once and you miss Coryo slipping the poisoned vial.

* Lucy Gray screaming "You can KISS MY ASS!" at her reaping at the end of her song. It is done in typical BigNo style, and a powerful and thoroughly defiant act towards the Capitol and those who wronged her at home.

-->Reaper: Are you going to punish me now?

* Reaper spreading his arms to a CrucifiedHeroShot and being completely calm while being devoured by the snake mutts. A really well-done exit from the stage of life, assuring himself some freedom in the arena by deciding about the moment of his death himself.
