You don't see it happen but it's very obvious what is happening to the young boy.

Towards the end of e1 the mother drowns an innocent kitten that the protagonist resurrected. All they filmed was the sack being submerged but the cute kitten in the preceding shots makes this emotional.

Happens a few times, during a few episodes, sometimes shown on screen for a few seconds.
Catches you a bit by surprise, sometimes right off the bat on an episode.

In the first episode or so a church woman is made to spew silver dollars by Justin as atonement for stealing from the church collection basket S1E10 after eating something at the all saints day celebration in town there's a jump cut to Sophie projectile vomiting in an alleyway, comes as a shock for sure

S2E6 After Ben heals Scutter of his facial scarring, the people around town are seen getting sick to their stomachs and it cuts to Justin spewing milk onto the dining room table
