6. The Rum Punch Massacre (Episode 10, "The Main Ingredient")

Right up there with Bushmaster's face-slice in the season's very first episode, the so-called "Rum Punch Massacre" is one of season two's most disturbing and unsettling moments.

The scene sees Mariah heading to Bushmaster's family restaurant in order to send a brutal message to him, resulting in them shooting dead everyone present, before Mariah sets Bushmaster's uncle Anansi on fire. After he screams out in agonising pain for too long, an exasperated Mariah then shoots him dead.

Even Shades is shocked and disgusted by Mariah's ruthless behaviour, reflecting the audience's own horror at what just transpired. Still, at least Bushmaster's Aunt Ingrid managed to escape, so there's that small mercy.
