* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Hordle John is pissed off at Aylward for promising them a great leader and instead bringing them to a decrepit, balding old man with bad eyesight. Just then, a bear escapes its handlers, causing everyone to flee... save Sir Nigel, who goes up to the bear and whacks it on the nose with his handkerchief, confusing it long enough for the handlers to arrive. John apologizes to Aylward for doubting him.
* DudeNotFunny: Ford permits himself a joke about Sir Oliver's weight. Sir Nigel gives him a look that shuts him up, saying no squire of his will make fun of a belted knight. Then he relaxes since Ford hasn't been a squire long enough to know what jokes are and are not permissible.
