* AsYouKnow:
** The Harfoots are introduced discussing about how seeing hunters in Rhovanion this early in the year is a bad omen because last time when they traveled this far, it was during a bad meteorological event called the Great Frost, which made humans to migrate aimlessly. Their worries are actually a foreshadowing for something far worse.
** Medhor reminds Arondir that in the both occasions an Elf and a Human fell in love, it ended only in death and tragedy, as a warning for his secret affair with Bronwyn. Later, Arondir discusses with his warden about how they have been stationed in the Southlands for 79 years.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Galadriel is only a young child in the prologue but is already getting into a scuffle with another bratty elf child who deliberately sinks her paper boat, pushing him to the ground and moving as if to punch him before she’s stopped by Finrod. This seems to be a common occurrence as a clearly amused Finrod asks, "Did you lose your footing again, Galadriel?".
** Elrond is introduced sitting relaxed in a tree, trying to write a speech for King Gil-galad.
** Arondir is a Silvan Elf and the first non-white elf to be introduced. His job is to watch over the people of Southlands, who hate Elves for treating them as some second class citizens.

After getting attacked and almost killed by a snow-troll, they all put down their swords in front of her to communicate their unwillingness to continue her restless quest. Several episode later, Galadriel recounts to Halbrand how deeply betrayed she felt when her company mutinied against her.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Elrond and Galadriel argue about her abandoning her mission and going to live peacefully in Valinor.
