The Moral Event Horizon is the deed that proves to the audience that the villain is beyond redemption. It is not a catalogue of all the character's evil deeds, and it is not necessarily the worst deed they ever do. If Kevin proved himself irredeemable in season 1, whatever he does in season 2 is irrelevant to the entry.

** Kevin has multiple potential actions that qualify as this even before the series began including {{Gaslighting}} Allison into thinking she’s a [[DrivesLikeCrazy bad driver]] so he can have sole control of the car, draining their savings account without telling her and getting her fired from her paralegal job which could have given her some true independence from him. Onscreen, he truly crosses it when he cuts Patty off from the friend group (which includes her own brother) and further isolates her by breaking her up with her boyfriend ''[[DisproportionateRetribution just because she didn't get him a burger]]'' when she went to a fast food restaurant. Even worse when you consider that ''she didn't even get herself a burger'' — the wrapper was left in the car by Trevor, the kid in Vermont who was meant to be showing her how to find the drug dealer. But then, Kevin doesn't know that part of the story.
*** Kevin manages to top himself in Season 2. First, in "The Unreliable Narrator", it turns out Kevin started the city-wide blackout, purposefully destroyed his father's girlfriend Lorraine's hearing aid purely out of spite and amusement, rudely shut Pete's hand in a car door, and falsely accuses Neil of stealing the generator (when it had just rolled off to a corner) and calls him stupid to his face, and not apologizing for any of it. In "The Machine", when Kevin is dethroned as the "Worcester Wild Dude" by a horse, he has the reporter who wrote the article fired and put a stuffed horse's head on the reporter's destroyed car windshield. Finally, Kevin reveals to Sam, a friend of his wife to whom he's trying to give marriage advice, that he is completely aware that he's a horrible person and that his actions are hurting people. Kevin [[RefugeInAudacity uses the fact that his behavior is goofy and over-the-top so no one can take his actions seriously]] and punish him, showing that he is an awful man because he chooses to be, not because he's so immature and selfish that he's in the dark about the harm he causes.
