** In a twisted way, Alicia pulling Rowena away with her. While Rowena's actions lead to her demise, Alicia understands that her mother still loved her and the idea of being without her broke her and made her desperate. Despite both the circumstances, the idea that the two now never have to part again is objectively sweet.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: At the end of the film, having rejected the potential client who was fearful about how every member of his family was dying off one after another, Poirot--both his spirit and drive reinvigorated silently invites him in to brief him on what he rather quickly figured out about his case and who was truly responsible. It looks to be one of many cases that Poirot is about to start playing catch-up with. If this is how Kenneth Branagh's version of the character's story ends, it's a good note to conclude on.

Not a YMMV trope. Moving to main page.


* ForgottenFallenFriend: Sort of. Poirot's best friend, Bouc, nor his fate at the end of the previous movie are never mentioned in this film. It's implied that he's the reason for Poirot's retirement along with his characterization throughout this movie, but Bouc is never mentioned by name and the events of the previous film are never discussed in detail.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: It has received a better reception than ''[[Film/DeathOnTheNile2022 Death on the Nile]]'', some even consider it the [[EvenBetterSequel best out of the three]] Poirot movies by Branagh so far.

** Alicia Drake. She found love with Maxime, only for him to seemingly leave her for a much richer girl [[spoiler: (when in reality he simply couldn't take Rowena's GreenEyedMonster behavior toward him any longer)]] which caused her to develop some form of mental illness from the heartbreak. Up to the night of her suicide Alicia was plagued by hallucinations of the orphans who died in the palazzo. [[spoiler: Unaware that her mother was the one behind her torment, having fed her tea with poisonous honey in it so Alicia wouldn't leave her. And then Olga ended up accidentally killing her by giving her an overdose of said honey when Alicia's hallucinations got worse.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Ariadne Oliver. They got Creator/TinaFey to play an AuthorAvatar sidekick who was in several Poirot novels — and turned her into an antagonist character with whom Poirot definitively falls out at the end, thus nixing the chance of her appearing in any future films in this series.

** Dr. Leslie Ferrier practically personifies the trope.

[[spoiler: It doesn't get better for him as after suffering a violent episode, he is locked in the soundproof music room and blackmailed into suicide by Rowena, who treatens to kill Leopold, the only good thing left in his life, if he doesn't go through with it.]]
