4	!!Tropes that appear in this episode:
5
6	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: At the end, Simmerson acknowledges that [[IOweYouMyLife he's alive thanks to Sharpe]], who snarkily quips back "We all make mistakes". Simmerson scowls and grumbles for a moment, before seeing the funny side and [[TensionCuttingLaughter lapsing into a good humoured chuckle]].
7	%%* BaldOfEvil: Dragomirov and Wormwood.
8	* BigBad: Colonel Count Vladimir Dragomirov.
9	* BigDamnHeroes: Barabas returns in the nick of time with British cavalry to drive off Dragomirov's forces.
10	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Dragomirov introduces himself as a friendly and professional officer who is just protecting his men from bandits; it later turns out that the "bandits" are actually local villagers and Dragomirov is actually a ruthless drug baron who has been terrorising the area and killing anyone who finds out about his criminal dealings.
11	* EnsignNewbie: Percival Beauclerc. Also counts as a ChildSoldier (his actor was 15).
12	* ExposedToTheElements: Sir Henry Simmerson is found tied up naked in a fort.
13	* FireForgedFriends: Sharpe and Simmerson find themselves actually fighting the bad guys as part of the same unit, and after the battle, Simmerson is a good deal friendlier to Sharpe than ever before, actually shaking his hand and calling him "Richard".
14	--> '''Harper:''' Now I've seen ''everything''. Simmerson shaking you by the hand and calling you Richard.
15	-->'''Sharpe''': [[WeWantOurJerkBack I think I'd sooner the bastard he were]].
16	* FrameUp: Wormwood's men confess to helping him frame Barabas.
17	* HeroicBastard: Barabas Hakeswill is nothing like his monstrous father Obadiah.
18	* SinsOfOurFathers: Sharpe happens to run into the bastard son of his late nemesis Hakeswill, currently under arrest for a theft he didn't commit. Sharpe beats the poor guy up until Harper stops him, but in the end Hakeswill Jr. saves the day and Sharpe and Harper's lives.
