** Trewlove is sent into a brief HeroicBSOD after one of the robbers panics and shoots a fellow officer dead right in front of her eyes (the police having not even been aware that the robbery was taking place until that point), forcing Thursday to give her a pep talk. Later in the episode, she ends up capturing and arresting the robber in question.

* All we see of Fred Thursday going PapaWolf on the two thugs who beat up and threatened Morse is [[BattleDiscretionShot what's reflected in his windscreen.]] It's still badass.
** Thursday's Pre-Asskicking One-liner is also awesome in its simplicity and Roger Allam's delivery...

badass. Thursday's Pre-Asskicking One-liner is also awesome in its simplicity and Roger Allam's delivery...



* DCS Bright usually comes across as a combination of ObstructiveBureaucrat and PointyHairedBoss, but he has a genuinely heroic moment at the end of "Prey". Halfway through the episode, during a hunt for the killer of the week on the grounds of Crevecoeur Hall,[[note]] ''Series/{{Lewis}}'' fans will recognise this as DS Hathaway's childhood home; his father, a groundsman on the estate, plays a supporting role in the story.[[/note]] he tells a story about being stationed in India before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and having to shoot a tiger that had been killing scores of local villagers and farmers; however, he was unable to save his colleague, [=McKendrick=], from being killed by the tiger. Craven, the Mortmaignes' land boss, doesn't believe for a moment that Bright is capable of such an act. However, when the episode's killer is revealed to be [[spoiler:Brutus, a tiger kept by the Mortmaignes whom Guy Mortmaigne supposedly put down after he mauled his sister Georgina years earlier but who has actually been kept in secret in a cage far too small for him, Craven is outwitted and killed by Brutus, who then corners Morse, Julia Mortmaigne, and Julia's baby son Milo in the centre of Crevecoeur Hall's hedge maze. Morse tells Julia to run when the tiger jumps so that she and Milo can get away, but as Brutus jumps, a shot rings out, Brutus drops dead... and Bright is revealed as the man who fired the shot, saving Morse's life to atone for being unable to save [=McKendrick's=] life decades earlier]].
* In "Coda," Thursday calls the bank robbers and demands that they stand down, telling them that [[spoiler:he only has three weeks left to live before the bullet that's still lodged in his lungs from "Neverland" works its way into his heart and kills him]] and thereby he has nothing to lose by assaulting the bank, but the robbers merely laugh at him, point out that they're holding both Joan and Morse hostage, and actually ''increase'' the demands they'd already made. Having hit his DespairEventHorizon, Thursday then starts coughing up blood and retreats to the bathroom... [[spoiler:where he coughs up the bullet and quickly regains his full strength, before leading Strange on an assault on the bank that ends with both Joan and Morse rescued unharmed]].
