** Hoshi's pet slug is lethargic, and there is doubt about whether it will survive. This hits close to home for everyone who's ever worried about the safety of their pet. And while the slug does get better, it gets set free on another planet, meaning that Hoshi will probably never see it again.
** Hoshi beating herself up for having screamed upon seeing the dead bodies, because she's worried it makes her too much of a loose cannon and "like a twelve-year-old", especially since no one else screamed. Then, when she's trying to talk to the alien captain, she's still doubting herself.

* "Shuttlepod One" is overall this for Trip and Malcolm, who are lost on the titular shuttle while thinking that ''Enterprise'' has been destroyed. (The ship is, of course, mostly fine, but they have no way of knowing.) Malcolm tries to deal with the situation by recording a series of VideoWills to his parents, old girlfriends, and others until Trip snaps at him, calling him the "Grim Reaper" for dwelling on his own mortality. This prompts Malcolm to unload his feelings in a way that he's never done before, and probably never does again.

* "Horizon" has a remarkably sad scene coming from [[AdvertisedExtra Travis Mayweather]] of all people. Archer finds Travis in his favorite spot, just after they get the news of his father's passing. Poor Travis is just inconsolable, especially since the two never reconciled after Travis left the ''Horizon'' to join Starfleet. Archer reassures Travis that Travis' father DID respect him and care for him, by telling him that his father was the one to recommend Travis to Archer's crew, saying "he had never met a more natural stick-and-rudder man, and [Archer] would be a fool to not pick him." Travis' response is devastating.
