* Woundwort reveals his backstory to Pipkin, of how he lost his parents, his captivity, and the reason he rules with an iron fist is all because of the terrors he faced during his life. It deeply messed him up to the point that he genuinely believes what he's doing is right for those that he rules over. Remember; one of his former subjects, Primrose, would rather risk dying than living another second under his rule.

* The children's series might actually do a ''better'' job of foreshadowing the true horror of Cowslip's Warren than the movie version, partially due to the way everyone just sort of...[[LotusEaterMachine lets themselves forget]] about their search for Pimpernel, [[ShmuckBait easily distracted]] by the readily available flayrah.
** The show doesn't focus much on the horrified realization of what the warren of the shining wires truly is (because, after all, it's [[{{Bowdlerize}} aimed at a younger audience]]) but imagine it from Holly's perspective. Pimpernel was weak, couldn't travel on...and this warren was big, and comfortable, and welcoming, so he left his friend in their care. Just for a few weeks. And then he comes back...
* The realization of the true depths of this version of Cowslip's insanity. While in the novel and the movie adaptation Cowslip is mostly a ''sad'', spiritless character, living with one foot in the grave and sending innocent newcomers to their deaths to postpone what he knows is the inevitable, the series portrays him in a way that gives the audience ''chills''.
** In later seasons, as the plot decays, Cowslip becomes a sly, cruel schemer. In the first season, which started out more or less loyal to the book, Hazel And Company realize as they're leaving that living under the shining wires [[SanitySlippage has driven Cowslip completely and utterly mad.]]
--> '''Hazel:''' Come with us. You don't have to surrender to the shining wires!
--> '''Cowslip:''' [[LaughingMad *giggling madly*]] They won't get me! ''[[MadnessMantra They might get others, but never me!]]''
