Nightmare Fuel subpages contain unmarked spoilers per Spoilers Off policy. You Have Been Warned
God U
- The very first scene has Marie discovering her powers at age 12 when she has her first period. When her mother Jackie comes into the bathroom to help, a panicked Marie has her blood become a projectile that flies through Jackie's neck killing her. Marie's father Malcolm runs in to find his wife dead, and before he can get to his daughter, Marie screams hard enough for Jackie's blood to react and also kill Malcolm.
- Andre tries to demonstrate his Extra-ore-dinary powers to a young woman at the bar by making a hummingbird and trying to fly it into someone's drink. He gets bumped into, causing him to send the metal bird into a woman's neck, hitting an artery and causing blood to spill everywhere. Were it not for Marie using her powers, the woman would have died.
- The aftermath of the event is also terrifying in a much more realistic manner. Despite Marie saving the woman's life and avoiding a PR disaster, she is set up to be expelled and act as a scapegoat. The reason? All the other guys are either well-connected (Andre and Jordan) or the school's pupil (Luke and by consequence his girlfriend) and it would be a mess if the press got to know that they were outside partying and doing drugs and their recklessness resulted in a near-fatal accident, while Marie does not have such protection and her power isn't really marketable. Science fiction aside, this feels like something that could realistically happen in school.
- Luke committing suicide by flying himself into the air and making his body explode, sending bloody chunks of him raining down on the onlookers.
First Day
- A minor one, but Emma mentions that she is losing the enamel on the back of her teeth due to the conditions needed to use her power. She also explains that each purge shrinks her to a certain amount, so she needs to retch multiple times.
#ThinkBrink
- Sam's uppercut being so violent that it literally punches a hole through a security guard's stomach and his fist exits through his mouth.
- Emma gets smaller than ever, so much that she can barely move; hadn't Marie gotten home in time she could have died. Considering how she accesses her power, this is particularly disturbing.
- Her insistence on her not having an eating disorder can be particularly disturbing for viewers with EDs.
- Another little detail: apparently, it's her mother that taught her how to vomit.
- Cate's power manifested when she was nine and told her little brother, who was bugging her, to walk away and never come back. So he did.
- This is the first episode where Emma's powers are put to lethal use. While she is in Sam's cell at The Woods, alarms on and the cell floor is electrified, electrocuting Sam. A guard comes in and she jumps inside his ear, emerging out the other one, covered in blood and brain matter.
The Whole Truth
- Sam notices that Emma has gotten slightly bigger and she replies that it's likely some piece of the guy she has just killed got into her mouth.
- Sam's psychotic breakdown in the bowling alley. Up to that point Sam was shown to us in a humane way and his issues were generally under control. But once the breakdown comes he starts to hallucinate, break stuff and yell.
- Rufus' penis exploding. Granted, it was in self-defense, but still.
- This also has the more chilling implication that Marie can not only manipulate people's blood outside of their body (such as what was seen with the woman who got an artery pierced in the first episode) but when it's inside their body. This make her powers look similar (later confirmed to be the same ones) to Victoria Neuman's.
- After Sam is subdued by Emma, the scene abruptly Jump Cuts to Marie and Jordan in bed; the implication is that an unknown supe made them lose at least a few hours worth of memories, if not more. The subsequent episode reveals that Cate was responsible, and all of them, except for her, are missing at least a day's worth of memory.
Welcome to the Monster Club
- Sam killing the strike team from The Woods. While the scene is made to look goofy by having everyone appear as puppets, the killings themselves are still gruesome, with Sam apparently even ripping a guy’s arm off, folding it, and shoving it down the guy’s throat. When the scene goes back to normal, the gory aftermath is shown with severed limbs, a disembodied head, and a dangling Woods guard pulled in half by Sam.
- The mysterious benefactor sponsoring Marie. Given how Dr. Cardosa mention that she has more power than she thinks (which she proved it during this episode and the next one), who's the person interested in her? Especially when it's evident the benefactor is powerful enough to have vetoed Cardosa's attempt to experiment on Marie.
Jumanji
- The trip through Cate's memory. Jordan, Andre, Marie and Dusty get sucked in. They are warned that if they die while inside, they die outside. The only one who gets killed? Dusty, who was just a bystander and had nothing to do with the coverup.
- The virus. Just slightly augmenting the dose made it go from making the subjects being ill to kill them. While Dr. Cardosa's shaken by the death of the test subject, Shetty is pleased by the outcome, and immediately asks Cardosa to make the virus contagious.
- Betsy is found with her face and body completely covered in bloody blisters. It is safe to assume her death was painful.
Sick
- The episode’s opening showing the virus in effect on another young Supe, with his face all blistered as he coughs up blood while the other three Supes in the same cell are desperately trying not to breathe in the virus.
- Polarity's mysteriously losing control of his powers and entering into a coma causes the whole set of Cameron Coleman's show to be destroyed. Later, while he is in the ambulance his Extra-ore-dinary powers not only make him almost crush the ambulance (only not doing so because Andre counters this with his own powers), but also accidentally cuts a doctor's ear and hits her head.
- Victoria Neuman returns in all her mind-blowing glory. The episode ends with her taking the virus and killing the only person (Cardosa) who knows how to make more.
- It's also revealed that she shares Marie's ability to manipulate blood outside the body, and that she's the Anonymous Benefactor who pulled strings to get Marie into Godolkin. Becomes worse when you realise she's what could happen if Marie ever has a Face–Heel Turn.
Guardians of Godolkin
- Cate and Sam go to the Woods. First Sam punches in (quite deeply) a guard's face. After they release all the supes, Cate commands the one surviving guard to eat his own hands. The audience gets to hear nauseating sounds of crunching bones and the guy, unable to stop, screaming.
- One of the escaped Supes burning a professor to death by pressing his palm against her face as he uses his power to fry her.
- Marie has managed to stop the last rogue supe who was about to kill Ashley and the trustees. Just then, Homelander shows up. Marie looks hopeful for a second. But with a Psychotic Smirk he shushes her before she can say much, and wags his finger. He asks her what kind of animal she is, and if she likes attacking her own kind. Then his eyes go red and glowy in preparation for the Eye Beams...
- The final shot of the episode and season: Butcher infiltrating the remains of the Woods. Seeing the carnage left behind, he simply calls them "cunts", but then gives his signature smirk... Anyone who's seen The Boys, and knows Butcher knows that he won't hesitate to unleash the virus if he ever got his hands on it.
