Before the show takes place, a main character grew up in an abusive household where he was used by his murderous father and abandoned by his mother. His trauma from this is discussed throughout the series, mainly in 1x10 and 3x14.

Maybe? Season 5 Ep 17 Lex makes a mouse vibrate out of existence. It is unclear if it is dead or felt any pain, but it disappears.

[SPOILERS] Nearly every character has a deceased parent. Their deaths are discussed multiple times throughout the show, most notably in "Schott Through The Heart" and "Alex In Wonderland" where main characters deal with the grief of losing a parent.

There is no v*, but in 3x12 a character drinks poisoned coffee and foams at the mouth. It may be triggering to those with severe emetophobia.

I’m pretty sure it’s season 1 episode 19 someone jumps off of a building and does not survive. Although they were being mind controled to do so and it wasn’t a big scene.

Season 4 revolves around anti-alien hate speech. The aliens are a metaphor for immigrants.
