* OutOfCharacterMoment: Silas suddenly stops his over the top, almost fantastical story of hunting Gray Wolf and goes on a determined, almost frightening reciting of an old poem on death. [[spoiler:This is because he realizes at that exact moment (in retrospect to what Gray Wolf had said to him) that Ben/Bob is the person that Gray Wolf said will cause him to lose his soul if Silas kills him.]]
