When it happened: Episode 1, Season 1

Why it's WTF: One minute Paul and Jacob are bringing over pizza and holding Sarah's hand through her ordeal, the next they're breaking into her apartment through a jimmied tunnel and driving her to an untimely death. It's enough to make you never want to leave your house again. Ever.

5. When masked Poe took to the streets and lit this nice journalist on fire.

When it happened: Episode 3, Season 1

6. When it was revealed that once upon a time, Joe and Ryan had an epic bromance.

7. When Paul flirts with Megan, chokes her while they make out, and is forced to kidnap her.

When it happened: Episode 3, Season 1

Why it's WTF: Aside from the fact that Paul is clearly gay for Jacob, this is exactly the type of thing I've seen onDateline, and yet another reason why you shouldn't talk to handsome strangers.

8. When Paul outs Jacob as never having killed anyone.

When it happened: Episode 4, Season 1

Why it's WTF: So, even though this is a cult of serial killers, little lamb Jacob has yet to take the plunge. He went so far as to cook up a two-bit story about his first kill, and has apparently been skating by on his good looks alone. Not cool, Jacob. (Even though it makes us love you more!)

9. When Emma, Paul and Jacob made their serial love legit.

When it happened: Episode 4, Season 1

Why it's WTF: Look, we have nothing against three beautiful people making sweet, sexy times together. It's just that, ya know, Emma hated Paul. She stabbed him in the hand in a prior episode. Now, suddenly, they're spooning?! WTF.

10. When Joe manipulates his lawyer into unintentionally joining his cult.

When it happened: Episode 5, Season 1

Why it's WTF: Couldn't Olivia tell the FBI what's going on? Doesn't she understand that Joe is a serial killer and probably has very bad intentions? And yes, we know about client-lawyer confidentiality, but doesn't this seem...crazy?!

11. When Agent Parker flashed back to her cult days.

When it happened: Episode 6, Season 1

Why it's WTF: Even though Debra said early on that cults were her "specialty," the reality of her upbringing is pretty disturbing. Especially that part where her own mother forced her to have intercourse with a much older cult leader. And, ya know, the whole bit where her parents disowned her for wanting to leave.

15. When Emma ditched her two boyfriends and ran off with Joey.

When it happened: Episode 6, Season 1

Why it's WTF: Well, ran off with Joey is a little misleading. She's taking him somewhere. But, still, it was pretty cold of her to ditch the two dudes she just made sweet sexy times with. (Especially while one of them is bleeding out.) COLD AS ICE!
