*** In a meta example, this is the first time Emma Roberts' character survives to the end of the season.

* Benjamin's son, Bobby Richter II, is all grown up. When he finds and meets his father, Bobby tells him that he truly loves and misses his father. In turn, Benjamin tells him that he was always loved by his family and they share a tearful hug before the son has to flee the campgrounds to get away from Margaret's ghost.

* Xavier tries to stop Not!Rita from telling a scary story on the grounds that Brooke was recently assaulted, narrowly escaping with her life, and is clearly still shook up.

* Trevor refuses to leave Bertie behind.

** Also, Bertie remembering Benjamin's favorite sandwich and offering to make him one. Sure, Xavier's clumsiness spoils the moment, but for a brief time, someone was actually treating Benjamin like a human being again.

* Donna and Brooke’s friendship after the events at Camp Redwood in general is very sweet.

* Donna stops Brooke from killing someone in cold blood by telling her that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre Brooke isn’t an evil person for having dark thoughts or urges]], only if she gives in and listens to those thoughts like Margaret or Jingles or Ramirez. Donna also reassures Brooke that if they can kill Margaret — who undoubtedly deserves some form of justice — without harming another innocent person then they will be redeemed. Brooke actually listens to this and calms down, and hopefully asks Donna if they can be “final girls” in a CallBack to their earlier conversation.
* A very twisted up example, but when Margaret divulges her plot to murder all of the famous bands and singers coming to preform at the festival, [[FanBoy Ramirez]] insists that Billy Idol be left alive.
* After [[TraumaCongaLine all the]] [[CosmicPlaything terrible things]] that have happened to Benjamin, the penultimate episode of the season ends with him reunited with his mother and his little brother, all three of them finding happiness and peace with each other.
* Also in that episode, though it seems to fail, Trevor trying to reach out to Montana and telling her she's not a monster.
* In the GrandFinale, Trevor has been mortally wounded by Margaret just outside of Camp Redwood, meaning that he would pass over to the afterlife death unless he manages to get back on camp property before he dies. Just as it seems that he's going to be lost forever, Brooke suddenly shows up and helps get him back to the camp just before he expires. Not only does she allow him to be TogetherInDeath with Montana, but her selfless act inspires Montana to let go of her rage, and she and Trevor decide to unite all the other ghosts to protect Bobby by preventing Ramirez from ever leaving Redwood.
* Also in the GrandFinale, Bobby Richter, all grown up, finds and meets his father, who then tells him that he truly loves and misses his father. In turn, Benjamin tells him that he was always loved by his family and they share a tearful hug before the son has to flee the campgrounds to get away from Margaret's ghost.
** And similarly, Montana, upon hearing who Bobby is, immediately sobs in relief and hugs him, knowing that she and the other ghosts were successfully able to protect him.
* The reveal that Ray managed to save a mortally wounded Brooke from dying on camp grounds. Earning a RedemptionEqualsDeath moment after his death. They share a tender moment as he ensures she gets off the grounds and calls help for her.
* Bit of a meta example, but for the first time Emma Roberts' character survives the season.
* Despite the hate she showed for Benjamin for the death of the child she loved, Lavinia shows real compassion when she tells Benjamin to leave and be with his own son that he clearly loves. Despite how awful she was as his mother, she empathizes with him and wants him to do what she can't.
* After being shown to be a terrible and abusive mother to Benjamin, Lavinia finds peace with finding her beloved child Bobby again, and finally showing kindness to Benjamin. Having found her peace, she steps in and stops Margaret from killing Benjamin's son.

-->Chef Bertie is good people!
