** For some reason, Silver's, "You still don't know how to pick yer fights, do ya, boy?" always struck a chord with this troper. Silver was on Jim's side the first time he said that phrase, and this time he's made himself the enemy. It was also the moment where Jim's dad was mentioned, the beginning of their father-son dynamic, and that's seemingly destroyed this time around.

*** Remember, Jim has felt this kind of pain before. He's been abandoned by his father because he didn't really care about him or his mother. And now, he's forced to go through that pain ''all over again''.

* For a satisfying final image, Jim looks out to the stars, and sees an image of Silver in the clouds smiling down on him, complete with a star mimicking the gleam of his cyborg eye. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

** Jim trying to get out only to run into Silver, who realizes Jim heard everything. Considering their touching bonding moment just the night before, it's rather tragic how they realize the situation and have no choice but to immediately turn on each other. Some FridgeHorror might also be in play for Jim who suffers a furios reaction at being betrayed by another father figure as he stabs Silver's leg without hesitation.

** For that matter, Sarah herself deserves a mention. She mentions to Delbert that she's at the end of her rope and has tried everything she could think of. The pain at not being able to help her son and fearing what will happen to him resonates with anybody who has watched a loved one make poor decisions and can't do anything but watch.

** Jim has his first open moment of emotional vulnerability after this conversation, unable to do anything at the end but rest his head on Silver's chest and start crying. Especially sweet/sad since Silver actually has to force himself to break off the hug he gives him a moment after. "Getting in too deep," indeed.

* The scene with the song "I'm Still Here" accompanied by images of Jim's father leaving him and his mother. Especially the one where Jim runs down the stairs in the morning to find him mother crying then in desperation runs outside to where his father is taking off on a ship and he tries to get to it before it takes off but fails. The sequence was done beautifully.

* After the chewing out Jim gives Silver where he throws back Silver's words at him and tells him that he'll make sure Silver never sees one drubloon of his treasure, the two begin yelling at each other before Silver threatens to use the ship's cannons to blast him, Doppler, Amelia, and B.E.N. to kingdom come if Jim doesn't give him the map by tomorrow morning. He turns to leave until he notices Morph hovering beside Jim and orders him to "hop to it." When Morph remains beside Jim, Silver yells, "'''NOW!'''" at Morph, only succeeding in scaring Morph, who nervously hides behind Jim's shoulder. Silver and Jim then storm back to their respective bases, while Silver momentarily stops to look back regretfully.

The part where Silver flies away to freedom and lets out the most joyful laugh ''ever'' is the final straw.
