- Inbetweener 4.5, which is about the birth of Elysia Hughes, is mostly hilarious until the end credits play. Said end credits? A male/female duet version of "Dear Theodosia".
- Episode 6. You think an abridged series can't do the tragedy of Nina Tucker's death justice? Think again.Nina: I...don't want to help anymore...daddy...
- The worst part? In this version, Tucker originally wanted to use Ed as his next test subject, but since Ed ended up getting evicted from his house, he used Nina instead. He proceeds to mock Ed about it, telling him that it's ultimately his fault that Nina has been turned into a chimera.
- Then there's this...
Alphonse: (stops Ed from killing Tucker) Wait. You say I don't have a heart, and that's true. But I'm not heartless, and neither is Ed. You think you're the same, but you're not. What he did was an accident, what you did was on purpose. That's the difference. And that's why he won't kill you.
Edward: YES THE FUCK I WILL!- Edward's voice cracking when he says that—he's so furious that he's shaking, yet it's also clear he's on the verge of tears.
- And Al finally reaching his breaking point.
Tucker: This is YOUR fault! Not mine!
Alphonse: Or you could've not done it at all.
Tucker: What was that now?
Alphonse: You could've not. Done it.
Tucker: I don't follow.
Alphonse: Making the chimera?
Tucker: Yes?
Alphonse: You could've not.
Tucker: See, that's the part where you're losing me.
Alphonse: Brother.
Edward: Yes Al?
Alphonse: Kill him now, please.- The Mercy Kill. Somehow even worse in this version, as Scar speaks to Nina like a person when she comes across him.
- Somehow, Tucker's Villain Song playing over the ending fails to diminish the sorrow of the moment, if for no other reason than the fact that it underscores the biggest piece of sorrow regarding this episode: Regardless of what karmic wrath Edward managed to bestow upon him, Tucker, for all intents and purposes, wins.
