1* Emma Peel's goodbye scene in "The Forget-Me-Knot", which marked Creator/DianaRigg's exit from the series. Especially since it's the one and only time Steed calls her by her first name when thanking her for her company.
2** After filming was done, Creator/PatrickMacnee went to his dressing room and cried due to the emotion of the scene.
3* In "Dead Men Are Dangerous" Steed faces off with Mark Crayford, his former childhood friend who was secretly always jealous of him and eventually defected to the KGB. After the man dies in their final confrontation Steed explains that the location he chose for their showdown was the site of the one time his old comrade was able to beat him at anything. But actually Steed knew all along that he had only won their race because he had cheated. When Gambit asks why he had never confronted him with the truth Steed gazes sadly at the man's corpse and remarks "How could I? He was my FRIEND!".
