When Goodsir starts to have a breakdown after [[spoiler: Morfin is shot and killed]], Lady Silence comes into his tent and tenderly cuddles with him.

* Hickey of all people manages to earn a Heartwarming moment in this episode, when he [[spoiler: cuts open the tent to save the crews after Doctor Stanley blocks the exits and sets it on fire. It is ruined somewhat by the accidental death of Doctor McDonald, but it's still an uncharacteristically altruistic gesture from the most selfish man on the expedition.]]

* As the sailor David Young is dying, Goodsir reassures the boy that he will be welcomed into heaven by his loved ones. When Young admits that he doesn't know who his parents are, Goodsir instead tells him that there will be angels to greet him.

* On Blanky's advice, Fitzjames agrees to let the crews throw a costume party in hopes of boosting morale before they have to abandon the ships and make the long walk south. Once the party is underway, everyone seems to be having a grand time. Blanky is drinking from his wooden leg, and Fitzjames gets dressed up as the goddess Britannia and happily engages in horseplay with his men, chanting "Oi! Oi! Oi!" as they carry him around on their shoulders.

* The episode opens with a conversation between Crozier and Fitzjames. Driven to despair by the extremity of the situation, Fitzjames confesses his greatest secret to Crozier: he's an illegitimate child, the product of an affair between a dissolute British diplomat and an unknown Portuguese woman, who has spent all his adult life overcompensating to cover up for the shameful circumstances of his birth. He bitterly declares that all the courageous deeds he's performed in his life have been nothing but vanity, and that they have reached the end of vanity. Crozier's response leads to one of the most touching exchanges of the series:

* After [[spoiler:one of the marines gets attacked by the Tuunbaq and goes into a coma]], one of his friends cut his nails and tell him what's going on in the ship.
* The scene where Crozier makes Jopson a lieutenant. He gives a big speech about how he is promoting a worthy man, and then gives Fitzjames the paperwork. Fitzjames makes like he's going to leave the tent. Then he stops just past Jopson, and turns to him smiling, to push the papers into his disbelieving hands.
* The friendship between Mr. Goodsir and Lady Silence.

* Crozier ordering his men to live.

* At one point, Mr. Hickey says Mr. Goodsir has "cut up more bodies than you can now remember." To which Mr. Goodsir says "Twenty. I've performed on twenty."

-->More Geese than Swans now live, more Fools than Wise.

* After Franklin's death, the men are gathered below deck. John Morfin starts to sing "The Silver Swan", and all their conversation dies away as they stops to listen.

John stops, unable to remember the rest of the verse. Peglar begins to sing the next verse, and slowly, the rest of the crew joins in.

* After Franklin's death, one of the men starts to sing "The Silver Swan", and the rest of the ship goes quiet to listen him. However, he stops mid song, unable to remember the next line. He tries again, but still can't remember it. So another man joins in, and sings the next line, followed by the rest of the crew.
