* Anne using the power of all three stones to destroy the Core ''kills'' her. The Guardian revives her, but says that this new Anne is just a backup copy it made before the event, so the Anne that we've come to know and love throughout the series is, in a sense, ''gone''. [[LampshadeHanging Anne herself notes that she'll have to process that eventually.]]

* Anne being '''outright killed''' after using the power of all three stones to destroy the Core ''kills'' her. Core. The Guardian revives her, but says that this new their ambiguous words makes it unclear: was Anne is truly resurrected through a BodyBackupDrive or just replaced with a backup copy it made before near identical-copy, while the event, so the original Anne that we've come to know and love throughout the series is, in a sense, ''gone''. was KilledOffForReal? [[LampshadeHanging Anne herself notes that she'll have to process that eventually.]]probably deal with some existential crisis later on]].

** Leif's betrayal of Andrias cut him so deep, he explicitly started oppressing the frog species of Amphibia as a whole in the aftermath. Frogs are demonstrated to be the bottom rung of society everywhere Anne and the Plantars visit throughout season 2, and now it's revealed that this was all due to ''one frog'' breaking Andrias' heart and him looking for some means of venting his {{Wrath}} towards her for destroying all his ancestors had built. Therefore, the question remains... what's Andrias going to do when he realizes that the Plantar family are her distant descendants? It's heavily implied that his snap decision to drop Sprig to a DisneyDeath in "True Colors" was motivated not only by Anne hitting his BerserkButton about friendship, but Sprig's StrongFamilyResemblance to Leif, even though Andrias seems to have not fully realized their connection yet. When he does, however, he's made it ''very clear'' that whatever he does to Anne's FoundFamily -- which could easily be harming Anne herself[[note]]who is a) already a target because she threatens his plans, b) narratively due for a brush with death after Sasha's fall and Marcy's impalement, and c) especially likely to [[UnstoppableRage personally and recklessly target him]] upon discovering what's become of Marcy[[/note]] in front of them -- he's going to make it '''hurt''' them just as much as he was by Leif breaking his trust. Worst case scenario, this could tie into fan speculation that Hop Pop won't survive the finale; Disney wouldn't allow a child to be KilledOffForReal[[note]]Marcy's survival had to be spoiled immediately for her DisneyDeath to be acceptable on screen[[/note]], which makes him the only Plantar who Andrias ''could'' end up killing because he's the only adult, and doesn't preclude any mortal threat to Sprig, Polly, or Anne that would motivate him to [[HeroicSacrifice go out protecting his family]]. If he ''does'' die, and Andrias is the one to kill him[[note]]which he likely would be, since his LaserSword would [[BloodlessCarnage prevent any injury or death it causes from being too gruesome]][[/note]], Sprig and Polly will have lost the only biological family they had left because of [[SinsOfOurFathers something their ancestor did a thousand years ago]].

When Anne [[TemptingFate confidently states]] that she has SeenItAll, we got a JumpScare SmashCut of the Guardian in their [[EldritchAbomination Lovecraftian true form]]. Anne [[InstantlyProvenWrong immediately panics]]. doubles as very, '''''VERY''''' funny.

* Mrs. Boonchuy is revealed to have a RoomFullOfCrazy where she worked out the stress of Anne's disappearance by doing things like making multiple dummies of her and a number counter for the days she was gone. It is heartwarming, funny, and disturbing all at once. As a bonus, the counter stops at 89 days, which is three months. Anne was gone for five months. At the three month mark, Mrs. Boonchuy gave up hope.

Discussed here, a caption for a Nightmare Fuel page should not say that the image isn't scary.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* Andrias hijacking a Santa float to pursue Anne, the Plantars, and her family. Needless to say, it looks very UncannyValley when Andrias talks through it. And not to mention [[NightmareFace its face when the camera closes in on it]]...

Added DiffLines:

** The Core's versions of Anne and Sasha. Even though it's not really them, there's something...off about them. Apart from having EmptyEyes and sounding ''slightly robotic'', when Marcy asks the false duo what to do next, they reply by saying that they're down to do whatever Marcy wants, which is something that's OutOfCharacter, which even Marcy herself acknowledges. And then we're treated to some flashbacks of "True Colours", specifically when Anne and Sasha find out about Marcy's true motives.

** The process of taking over Marcy's body is absolutely horrifying. Marcy is strapped to a chair while a bunch of tubes connect to her limbs, and when the helmet attaches to her head, [[HellIsThatNoise she lets out a bloodcurdling scream while the Core transfers its consciousness onto her.]] Yunan and Olivia can only [[ForcedToWatch watch in horror]], and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Andrias himself is so disturbed that he has to look away]]. What makes this scene worse is that Marcy is ''conscious'' and ''[[AndIMustScream aware of her fate, and she can't do anything to stop it.]]'' The poor girl even glances at Olivia and Yunan for help, but it's no use.
