* Izzy spends the episode repeatedly trying to advocate for the crew (who are [[{{Understatement}} not being treated well]]) and telling Ed that he's worried about him. When Ed starts threatening to shoot the crew, Izzy deliberately yells at him to direct his attention towards him.

* While the sight of Jim, Oluwande, and Archie huddled inside a [[SaltSolution ring of salt]] with garlic wreathes around their necks is hilarious, it's also heartwarming to see how devoted they are to protecting each other.

!![[AC: 2x06 - Calypso's Birthday]]
* The latter part of the episode is a mix of this and [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesomeness]]. From Wee John and Izzy doing drag, to the [[Main/MeaningfulBackgroundEvent Meaningful Background Event]] of Olu, Jim, and Archie dancing together, to Ed and Stede [[Main/RelationshipUpgrade finally hooking up]] as fireworks go off, it's one big feast for the fandom. Con O'Neil's rendition of "La Vie en rose" is [[AwesomeMusic/AwesomeMusic the cherry on top.]]

Added DiffLines:

* Stede and Izzy’s relationship improves by leaps and bounds in this episode, with Stede acknowledging Izzy’s expertise and Izzy giving Stede [[TrainingMontage pirating lessons]]. At the end, Stede breaks out his “captain voice” during a raid and Izzy gives him a look of approval and the “okay” sign.
* The resolution to the curse is an important character development moment for Stede: instead of insisting on his own way and dismissing the crew’s fears, he “admits” the curse is real (with Izzy encouraging him in the background) and takes suggestions on how to deal with it.

** While Stede as a merman could be taken as [[NarmCharm silly]] in the middle of this highly emotional scene, Ed previously listed "massaged to death by mermaids" as a way that he'd like to die. Despite their fearsome reputation, pirates were generally quite superstitious and feared the merpeople, regarding them as dangerous harbingers of doom; as a merman, Stede looks lovingly at Ed, a look that is clearly mutual.

mutual. Ed's smile implies relief as well as joy that somebody '''''is''''' waiting for him.
** Ed's [[NearDeathExperience near-death experience]] mirrors Stede's dream of reunion at the beginning of "Impossible Birds". Stede dreams of himself as a dashing, able pirate, perhaps as a projection of what he thinks that Ed would prefer in a mate; Ed, meanwhile, sees Stede as this ethereal, almost otherworldly being who breathed new a life that Ed found increasingly suffocating. He sees this sweet little goldfish (freshwater fish) of a merman out of his element in the salty seas of pirates, but despite all logic Stede exists. Stede's gentle nature is what attracts Ed to Stede rather then the roughness of the life that Ed has known from an early age.

* Stede's [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove apologetic, anguished declaration of love]] to an unconscious Ed becomes this when, unknown to Stede, in the [[PurgatoryAndLimbo gravy basket]] a drowning Ed hears him and begins to fight for his life, realizing that '''''Stede''''' is [[PleaseWakeUp begging him to come back]]. In the real world, Stede grasps Ed's hand after it begins twitching and he desperately begs Ed to awaken.
* Once Stede has grasped Ed's hand and actively begs him to come back to him, the rope falls away from Ed's waist and Ed sees a light from the surface of the water as he hears Stede. In moments, he sees Stede, incarnated as a merman, swimming to him with a loving expression on his face, an expression that Ed soon wears too. They look so ''relieved''!
