** After Caleb and Thomasin are separated in the woods when the family dog chases after a hare (which is heavily implied to be the witch or a familiar), Caleb comes upon the dog's disemboweled body. Shortly thereafter, he finds the witch's hovel, where she proceeds to seduce him...and [[SexyDiscretionShot probably]] [[RapeDiscretionShot more.]]
** William boards up Thomasin and the twins in the goat pen, but the witch enters the pen that night. When William wakes up the next morning, he discovers that the boards have been torn away, Thomasin is outside unconscious, the twins have disappeared, and the goats are mangled and dead. Shortly thereafter, he's gored by the goat Black Phillip and dies. Thomasin kills her mother Katherine soon after in self-defense when she snaps, accuses Thomasin of being the witch, and tries to kill her.

Thomasin behaves in a perfectly normal manner for a 17th century teenaged girl, it is only under extreme circumstances that she acts otherwise.

* AgeInappropriateDress: Despite being younger, Mercy and Jonas wear more adult-looking clothes than Thomasin and Caleb. This, combined with the fact that they are ill-fitting (presumably to account for the twins's [[JustifiedTrope eventual growth]]), brings them into the UncannyValley as they look more like mischievous, deformed little adults than cheerful children.
