In the aftermath of the shooting, a massive, unseen creature—later identified as the Tuunbaq —attacks the group, killing Lieutenant Gore and leaving the others in a state of terror.

The episode deepens the rift between the optimistic but hubristic Sir John Franklin and the pragmatic, weary Captain Francis Crozier. While Franklin tries to maintain Victorian decorum and hope, Crozier recognizes the lethal reality of their situation. Critical Analysis
