* The scene in "The Moor" where the Prince of Naples shows della Rovere what his father had done to some enemies who'd plotted against him: fed them a poisoned buffet, then locked them into an airtight room, set up to look like the Last Supper. They're still there after ''decades''.

* [[spoiler: Della Rovere's assassin poisoning Rodrigo at the end of season 2]] has a shot him trying to maintain his usual DissonantSerenity despite going into convulsions while TearsOfBlood pour from his red eyes.
