Anne's efforts result in one of her [[DefrostingIceQueen most rewarding friendships]] - and inspires Katherine to take a leap of faith to a new job and new life that will let her [[EarnYourHappyEnding travel the world as she's always dreamed of]].

* Matthew decides to spoil Anne by buying her some chocolates (without asking Marilla first). Anne asks if it would be alright to share them with her new best friend Diana. Marilla has to admit she's moved that Anne's first instinct upon receiving the sweets (for the second time in her life) is that she wants to share them with someone else rather than have them for herself.

--> '''Marilla:''' I don’t know what I’d do if you weren’t here - if you’d never come. Oh, Anne, I know I’ve been kind of strict and harsh with you maybe - but you mustn’t think I didn’t love you as well as Matthew did, for all that. I want to tell you now when I can. It’s never been easy for me to say things out of my heart, but at times like this it’s easier. I love you as dear as if you were my own flesh and blood and you’ve been my joy and comfort ever since you came to Green Gables.
