* Leopold's father and his entire condition. He is shellshocked from the War, having been a part of an attempted liberation of a concentration camp which turned into a SNAFU that got ''every single prisoner killed''. This caused him to become so broken he can't even care for his son properly, something he is ashamed of. And then finally the woman he loves tells him she murdered her own daughter and she currently has his son, making clear if he doesn't kill himself right then she will kill his son.

* The opening reveals that years after [[Film/DeathOnTheNile2022 the last movie]], Poirot now lives in Venice alone--with only his bodyguard for occasional company; regrew his mustache and now no longer takes cases--which would also mean that his potential relationship with Salome Otterbourne also either fizzled out or didn't last.

* Alicia's backstory before and up to her death. She was happily engaged with Maxime, only to break up with him when she found out he was (initially) only marrying her for her lucrative inheritance from her mother Rowena. Upon returning to her childhood home, her own mother poisoned her with hallucinogenic honey to keep her under her thumb which caused her to suffer from agonizing pain and horrifying hallucinations until she was accidentally fed a lethal amount of said honey. The kicker? Maxime eventually realized he loved her more than her fortune and sent letter after letter begging for her to take him back, but thanks to Rowena's interference Alicia never received them. Alicia spent her last moments suffering, believing Maxime never truly loved her while never knowing her mother was the one keeping her sick. It almost makes her AccidentalMurder seem like a MercyKill.

She claims she made Poirot, that they aren't friends, and she has every right to use him as she did. While Poirot isn't harsh in saying goodbye to her, simply saying he never wants to see her again, she is still angry her plan failed and snaps she never wants to hear his name again.
* Poirot's bodyguard revealing he was in league with Oliver and Reynolds. It is clear he regrets his actions but Poirot makes clear he no longer has uses for him, ending their friendship.
* While it's supposed to be a case of HesBack Poirot informing someone seeking his help that a family friend killed the man's father, mother, and brother and most likely will kill him is still depressing. One understands why Poirot lost his faith.
