* The death of [[spoiler: Bouc. Rosalie is left heartbroken, his mother flipping from rage to regret, and even Hercule struggles not to break down sobbing at the end as he recounts how Bouc died]]
** [[spoiler: Bouc died only because his mother refused to believe in love. Had she just accepted the woman her son cared for he would have never been tempted to steal Linet's necklace and thus not died. In fact it is likely that Lousie might also still be alive as Hercule would have known that Linet was dead far earlier than he did and thus investigated sooner, before Jackie and Simon could finish hiding the evidence.]]
* A second viewing tearjerker. When Hercule talks to Jackie and tries to convince her to let go of Simon [[spoiler: the second view has the scene take on a new tone of Hercule, unwittingly, trying to get Jackie to understand what her love for Simon has caused her to do, allowing him to marry and sleep with her own best friend who she plots to kill.]]

*** Conversely, [[spoiler: Jackie's inability to tell Simon no made her plot out the death of her best friend as well as murder two other people and ruin several other lives, all in the name of her fanatical "love".]]

Jackie came out with the plan but Simon did the deed


** [[spoiler:This is made even sadder by Jackie's speech in the epilogue. There's no violence or [[MotiveRant crazed ranting]]- she politely and calmly explains that she killed Linnet, and why, and that she scarcely regrets it. It makes it all the easier to empathize with her.]]

* Simon and Jackie were very much in love, and could have been happy together but for [[spoiler:Simon's greed, which ultimately brought about both their deaths.]]

* Linnet, arguably; while she did steal Simon away from Jackie, she clearly did love him very much and felt guilty about her actions towards Jackie [[spoiler: so the fact that he was just stringing her along in order to kill her does end up stinging a little bit.]]
* Poirot informing Rosalie that he knows [[spoiler:her mother's an alcoholic]].
