Hobbits

I'm curious to know what event you think had the most important effect on the 4 hobbits?

Frodo-Reseiving the ring. The reasons are obvious.

Sam- Overhearing Gandalf and Frodo talking about the journey Frodo was to take. Without that happening he never would have known about the quest resulting in him not going with Frodo.

Pippin- Recieving allegiance to Gondor.

Merry. Going with Eowyn to Gondor and slaying the Witch King.

Any thoughts?
