* So how did Mary end up with the OCS? Her mom got a life sentence in prison for killing her dad when Mary was eight and it didn't matter to the court that it was in self-defence because she was a black woman.

* It is pretty heartbreaking to see the usually bitchy Lilith break down in tears in Mary's arms, and it's not hard to see why: she was dragged to Hell by a Tarask; somehow came back from the dead to find that her friends, her sisters, had been mourning her; it appears that she is slowly changing into a demon and she is also losing her mind. It's clear that she is now a shadow of her proud former self.

* Ava and Father Vincent's confrontation. She tearfully asks him if he betrayed Shannon and Mary for power, to which he says it's for truth. It's heartbreaking to see Vicent, one of the only people who was kind to Ava when she first joined the OCS in Season 1, proceed to kick the everloving shit out of Ava without mercy.

** Ava tearfully joking that Beatrice can teach her how to dance. Why is it a tearjerker? Think back to the first episode of the season, to the two partying in the bar in the Alps. ''Ava is admitting that she found Beatrice's crazy, clumsy dance moves something to admire.''

* After Ava makes contact with Adriel through Vincent's divinium tattoos, he is left badly hurt. His arms are covered in sores and burns, blood and liquid divinium leaking from the wounds, and it's pretty clear that he is fighting through what is probably agony for him. When asked if he is alright, his response? "I deserve this."

to:

** Beatrice specifically writes it off as her emotions interfering with the mission. Imagine how internalized her self-hatred must be to think that ''saving the woman she loves'' is some selfish act. She retreats so much back into the shell that had been cracked after meeting Ava that she ends up sounding more hardened than her Season 1 self.

* Jillian and Michael having a moment before he goes off to commit a HeroicSacrifice. He gives a gutwrenching and bittersweet speech about how there will always be a piece of him in existence and that he'll ''never'' stop loving his mother.



* ''Ava's apparent death.'' Using the last of the Halo's strength, she summons a horde of Tarasks that kill Adriel, but she's left heavily wounded by divinium. Seeing no other way, Beatrice and Lilith help her into the Arc and send her into the unknown dimension that Reya rules over. The whole scene is gut-wrenching as Ava is clearly not ready to go, having only recently gotten her life back.

to:

** While it can also be seen as a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming Moment]], it's tragic to see Beatrice, the textbook definition of the perfect Sister Warrior, second only to maybe Lilith, ''throw the mission away and try to subdue Ava to prevent her from sacrificing herself.'' Even after their fight from the last episode, it's clear now that the '''only''' thing she wants is to be with [[OneTrueLove Ava]].

** Beatrice is holding onto Ava tightly, even as she's about to go through the portal. Ava has to eventually say the most painful thing possible: '''''"Let me go."'''''
** After Ava goes through the Arc, it's clear that Beatrice is on the verge of ''a complete breakdown.'' She starts hyperventilating and crying, as if Ava's absence is only now truly weighing on her, crumpling to sit in the middle of the empty Arc as the episode ends.
