** Dorian is touched; but this extends back to before the fight. John had actually expressed concern for Dorian going in alone, both knowing there’s a high chance Dorian could be damaged beyond repair. Dorian rationalizes it with “You can’t [come with me]. It’s what I was designed to do.” At first, it seems like they’re talking about how Dorian gets up (climbing several stories up the elevator shaft, among other things). Only later when you see Dorian jumping in front of the bullets and even ''crawlling'' towards his gun, do you realize what he meant e.g he was meant to be a combat robot who could die so his human partner could live.

** Strangely, this is made more touching because it happens in a casual conversation; no attention is brought to it, and Rudy doesn't even realize he's said it, but it shows that he considers Dorian his friend, and therefore no hesitation using it as a term of endearment, android or not.

* A quick moment, but touching nonetheless; Rudy calling Dorian 'my friend.' After Dorian is shut down by John for using the same term in a previous episode, it's heartwarming to see Rudy, at least, not treat him any differently.

* When Dorian expresses his fear of death, John doesn't dismiss it. Dorian is obviously touched by this. Compare this to the fact that John pushed his MX partner out of a moving car onto the highway without a second thought.
