Line 64:
** {{spoiler|That then [[Squick|gives the mother a shoulder massage.]]}}
*** Worse. {{spoiler|It's easy for them to reprogram their "daughter" because they never considered her human. [[Humans Are Bastards|Just a machine they can discard if she became too much to handle]]}}.
* The ending of "The Bewitchin' Pool" terrifies me. Why? [[Alternative Character Interpretation|Because I'm pretty sure that grandmotherly old lady is actually the Grim Reaper]]. Notice that the children have to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|dive all the way to the bottom of their pool to see her, and once they've decided to live with the old lady forever, they never resurface]]. In short: I'm pretty sure those kids drowned themselves. ''Sweet Jesus''.
** The rest of the episode. Look at how many children are in her world, all perfectly happy and having forgotten the voices of their parents. Now, look at what drove the two children to go back to her world for good. Just watching how the parents are so cold to their children, to the point where the children are happier abandoning their world and willfully ignoring the cries of their parents calling for them (because the last time they gave in and returned, they were still miserable), well, there's a whole lot of [[Adult Fear]] there.
* In "Uncle Simon", aging scientist Simon and his niece Barbara hate each other, but she takes care of him because she's his only heir. However, she finally tires of his abuse and kills him, thinking that she is finally free--until she discovers that her uncle's will says she has to take care of a robot he invented or be disinherited. The robot slowly starts acting as her uncle did, so if she still wants his money then she is stuck with a ''never sleeping, immortal version of her uncle to make her life hell until she dies''. Just the thought of that makes me shudder...
