Violence & Gore
- The all-out riot at the end, where people throw objects (i.e. stones, rocks, hammers, there are even guns involved) at other people and houses. (There's no blood or gore seen). Accusations about who is the alien are yelled.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- The episode ends with the disturbing revelation that the humans themselves have a monstrous-like nature to them due to their constant fear and anxiety and their choice to allow the anxiety to overcome their decisions--this makes them resort to violence. This revelation is certainly unexpected, and will disturb sensitive viewers.
