As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- The girls' Face–Heel Turn against Sarah. Especially since they were her first and only friends at the school. The scene where the girls confront and threaten Sarah in the bathroom can hit especially close to home for those who had friends turn against them. Special mention goes to Bonnie's behaviour. She and Sarah had appeared to be the closest out of the group, and a deleted scene shows that Sarah used her magic to cure her scars after Bonnie begged her.
- Nancy's initial home life. She lives in a trailer with an abusive stepfather and a neglectful mother. Their house was in such a bad state that during a thunderstorm, you can see it leaking in Nancy's room.
- The ending has an Alas, Poor Villain moment for Nancy. She is seen locked up in a mental hospital screaming about the powers she convinced herself she still has.
- After Chris's death, Sarah starts to blame herself and her dad tries to comfort her, we then get this line:Don't touch me, everything I touch turns to shit.
- This Kick the Dog line from Nancy in the climax:You killed Chris, you killed your mother, you killed your mother while you were coming out of her, now even I couldn't pull that off.
- Nancy's whole plan in the third act really sells just how mean and cruel she is as a person. Possibly because Sarah's first binding spell prevented Nancy from harming her directly, Nancy instead resorts to illusions. She uses visions of bugs, rats, snakes etc that Sarah herself told her about, and is actually banking on Sarah's history of self-harm to drive her to suicide. It's so unspeakably evil that she would betray her friend like that using such personal information that Sarah confided in her.
- Bonnie doesn't have it too easy herself. She was covered is burn scars and believed she wasn't beautiful. When they first invoke Manon, Bonnie asks him to make her beautiful outside as well as inside (but she ends up having a Face–Heel Turn anyways). Later on, while Nancy is practicing magic on her, Bonnie is painfully asking Manon to take her scars. In the climax, when Sarah gets more powerful, she makes Bonnie hallucinate her reflection covered with worse scars, she yells "Not again!"
- While she doesn't get much characterization outside of her Token Minority status, you can't help but feel bad for Rochelle's situation. She's ostracized by the whole school solely because of her race, aside from Nancy, Bonnie and later Sarah, she has no friends, and she can't even enjoy swimming, the one hobby she is extremely good at, without Alpha Bitch Laura Lizzie messing with her. It can hit close to home for watchers who have faced similar situations, especially those who are minorities themselves.
- Not to mention that Rochelle stands up to Nancy in the climax, refusing to continue torturing Sarah. And then Nancy pulls a knife on her and threatens to slit her throat! Rochelle looks terrified, knowing she has a Sadistic Choice.
- Rochelle's revenge on Laura Lizzie is played as completely justified for the girl's racist taunts. But when she walks in on the poor girl in the shower with her hair falling out, it immediately gives her some Heel Realization that she's no better than her bully. We next see Laura Lizzie at the party - wearing a wig - and she appears to be trying to make amends to Rochelle.
- Sarah getting Slut-Shaming rumors spread about her. She turns up to school after her date with Chris, completely oblivious, and notices people keep giving her looks, whispering to each other and sniggering at her. Nancy and the other girls then inform her that Chris has told everyone they had sex and it was terrible; Sarah is dismayed, thinking he geuinely liked her and can intially only state "But we didn't." Nancy tells her "I told you he was a jerk", but less in an I Told You So manner and more in a sympathetic 'I know how you feel' way because he did something similar to her.
- When Sarah goes to confront Chris, he utterly dismisses what she has to say and even makes it seem like she's clingy and chasing him, loudly stating she should stop hanging around him because it's pathetic. Sarah leaves in tears after giving him a Precision F-Strike. And it's all because Chris is spitefully lashing out at her because she refused to have sex with him.
- A small one, when the girls visit Nancy and her mother's new apartment. Grace seems happy to have the girls over, excitedly showing off their new things. She even excitedly says something about a "house warming party" - suggesting she's not used to having people over and maybe even wants to get to know her daughter's friends. Nancy just herds the girls into her room and slams the door in her mother's face.
- In the climax after Sarah's friends turn on her and her parents have seemingly died, Sarah rushes up to her bedroom, desperately trying to stop her bleeding wrists, collapsing on the floor and sobbing for someone to help her.
- Bonnie's experimental scar treatment. It's indicated this the latest in many unsuccessful treatments she's endured and this one involves her having to facedown on a table while a needle is repeatedly pushed into her skin. She initialy tries to keep quiet despite the fact she's obviously in pain, until she can't take it anymore and her whimpers turn to screams. It's a tearjerker from the perspective of her mother too, who has to watch her child go through a painful medical procedure and not being able to help her besides holding her hand.
- In the famous deleted scene, where Nancy intimidates all three girls...
- She tears into Rochelle, reminding her that no one talked to her because she was the only black girl in the neighbourhood. Rochelle is in tears and backs away from Nancy in terror as she leers at her.
- Nancy threatens to take Bonnie back to her original scarred self, and it's pointedly one of the few times post makeover that she's shown with none of her newfound confidence.
- Nancy herself has a humanizing moment in the middle of her rant, where she screams about how everyone has always turned their backs on her - and the idea that Bonnie and Rochelle could be siding with Sarah is devastating for her.
- Then she rounds on Sarah, who is left cowering against a pillar, close to tears. And when she walks away, Nancy has a truly awful Kick the Dog moment where she taunts her to "run home to Mommy!" Alternate Character Interpretation could suggest that maybe Nancy feels the only area she might be 'superior' to Sarah is that she still has her mother alive, further taunting her newfound enemy.
