** Passpartout tries to break Fogg out of his depression by telling him that it's ''his'' fault they're stranded, because he recognised the man who set them adrift from when he offered Passpartout money to sabotage Fogg. Fogg asks, "Did you ''take'' the money?" GilliganCut to Fogg marching across the beach, shouting at Passpartout to get away from him.
** When Fogg angrily denies that Bellamy would sabotage him, Passpartout tartly declares that perhaps he doesn't understand English friendships, because Bellamy has never struck him as a good friend to Fogg. However, he's ''sure'' their friendship is based in something meaningful, "not just having attended the same school and social club." It's clear Fogg has no answer to this.



* DarkAndTroubledPast:
** Abigail tells Passpartout about her mother's bouts of "melancholy" (depression to a modern viewer) when she recognises those symptoms in Fogg. This prompts Passpartout to start making confessions.
** After the raft is burned, Fogg reveals the true story of him and Estella; they were due to get married in Paris and travel the world together. But Fogg's insecurities, fuelled by Bellamy, made him lose his nerve and abandon her on the boat to France. He's never moved on from the shame or the pain of losing her.



* GoneHorriblyRight: Passpartout breaks Fogg out of his HeroicBSOD by confessing to taking a bribe and drugging him in India. This works perfectly, by sending Fogg into such a rage he declares that he will have nothing further to do with Passpartout, in fact he will make a raft this very moment and sail away and leave him stranded! This begins the "clearing the air" theme of the episode.

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Fogg is already starting to forgive Passpartout, but their differences are settled properly when Passapartout gets sick and needs to be kept warm or he'll die. Their wood is quickly depleted, leaving the raft Fogg has been making and his best chance of still winning his bet and the only remaining fuel. He burns it without hesitation to save Passpartout.

Added DiffLines:

* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: {{Downplayed}}. A Reform Club official asks Bellamy to "say a few words" at a memorial being held for Fogg. Bellamy is reluctant, but does it without breaking a sweat. Like their friendship, while outwardly affectionate the subtext is condescending.

* FiveSecondForeshadowing: When the trio set off along the beach to find civilisation, Fogg is troubled after a while because, "The sun was on the left... then it was on the right..." Then they find footsteps on the beach ahead and get excited thinking they've found people, until Fogg points out the obvious; those are their own footprints, because they're on an island.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Passpartout breaks Fogg out of his HeroicBSOD by confessing to taking a bribe and drugging him in India.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** Fogg blames himself for endangering the others by dragging them off on a harebrained adventure and getting them stranded on an island, although he did no such thing and in fact tried to leave Abigail behind more than once.
** Bellamy appears upset after hearing of Fogg's death, although he may just be wondering how he'll get his money.
* SayingTooMuch: When Fogg is enraged after learning that Passpartout drugged him after taking a bribe, Abigail - who doesn't know about the drugging - tries to smooth things over by telling him Passpartout was only trying to help when he stole the White Dragon... leading to Fogg's WaitWhat and Passpartout's OhCrap face.
* TemptingFate: You'd think Fogg would know better by now.
