* AMillionIsAStatistic: Discussed by Claire and Captain Leonard. Dozens of men have died of Typhoid since Claire has been onboard, but she's particularly troubled by Elias' death, possibly because he was a child or because he was so kind to her.

* HeroicSacrifice: Fergus decides that he will not help Jamie stage a mutiny even if it means that he cannot marry Marsali, the love of his life, as helping Jamie was the condition set for receiving permission to marry Marsali, Jamie's stepdaughter.


Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulEcho: Jamie chews Fergus out for not getting the keys to free him. Fergus tells him that a mutiny would get them killed and leave Marsali alone and vulnerable. He reminds Jamie that he himself told Fergus that true love meant being willing to do ''anything'' for the person you love. In this case, it means refusing to help Jamie, the man he loves as a father, to protect Marsali, the woman he loves more than life itself.


Added DiffLines:

* MoodWhiplash: Claire is walking on deck among the men who are singing and smiling as no one has died of Typhoid that day nor have any new cases been reported. She goes to find Elias to return his lucky rabbit's foot to him only to find him in his hammock, dying of Typhoid.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Tompkins gloats about burning down Jamie's shop, about nearly killing Young Ian, and about alerting the Captain to Jamie's true identity. He very smugly rubs Claire's face in the possibility of Jamie being arrested and executed. She can't stop the chain of events he's set into motion, but she can have him detained in the brig as a Typhoid carrier, mere feet from an actual carrier...



* SmugSnake: Captain Leonard is looking forward to the reward he'll receive for bringing Jamie to justice. It doesn't even seem to bother him that he'd be widowing the woman who has just risked everything to try and save his men's lives.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Jamie loves Fergus as a son and almost never speaks so much as a harsh word to the man. But when Fergus refuses to help him stage a mutiny to save Claire, Jamie calls him a fool and says he was right to refuse to his blessing on a marriage between Fergus and Marsali because Fergus obviously doesn't understand love.

* SadisticChoice: Jamie tells Fergus that if Fergus gets him the keys to break out of his cell, Jamie will give him the marriage blessing he'd previously been refusing.

Added DiffLines:

* MissingStepsPlan: Jamie wants to stage a mutiny and take the Artemis to find Claire. Fergus points out before they can do that, they'd have to first convince enough men it's worth it to turn on the Captain. These are men who didn't want women on the ship to begin with. If they succeed, they'd have to both man the ship and control the men who didn't want to mutiny. If they fail, they'll be thrown overboard, leaving Marsali at the mercy of men who have already been secretly what they'd like to do to her if they had the chance.

* ObliviouslyEvil: The cook only begrudgingly and half heartedly follows the Captain's orders to follow Claire's suggestions. He thinks Claire's theories about how the Typhoid is spreading is ridiculous nonsense at best and a waste of resources at worst. He points out that men are still dying, not realizing that he and his assistant are playing a large role in those deaths since they are a non-compliant vector of contagion.

* OverrankedSoldier: Much like acting Captain Leonard, Elias Pound finds himself in a much higher position of authority than anticipated due to the loss of their commanding officers. Despite only being fourteen, he is often in the position of having to monitor and reprimand men two to three times his age.
* ProtectedByAChild: Several of the men are very vocal about not believing that Claire actually knows what she's doing and not wanting to take orders from a woman. However, Elias is her ever present shadow and uses his authority as a commissioned officer acting under the Captain's order to make sure the men do nothing more than grumble.


Added DiffLines:

* TyphoidMary: A very literal case. Claire cannot understand why they can't get ahead of the Typhoid spread. She finally realizes it is because the food is being handled by an asymptomatic cook who is handling the food of all the other sailors, infecting them without meaning to.

* CensoredChildDeath: Despite Typhoid being a very painful way to die, Elias dies off screen and is simply found dead in his bed later.
* ChildSoldiers: There are several sailors on the Porpoise that are barely in their teens. Justified in that at this time, noble families purchased commissions for their sons. The youngsters would then be assigned to ships like the Porpoise to give them a taste of the military in a relatively safe environment until they were old enough to take command in more challenging environments. No one had any way of knowing Typhoid would strike the Porpoise.



* GreenAroundTheGills: Jamie is not allowed access to Mr. Willoughby and his acupuncture treatments which had been keeping Jamie's severe seasickness at bay. This is possibly to further ensure that Jamie can't interfere with ship operations.
