* [[YourMileageMayVary To some it might be cheesy]], but the ending of 'The Avatar and the Firelord,' with the Gaang saying that friendships can last longer than one lifetime was rather touching.

* "Being part of the group means being part of group hugs." Espcially since it's quite probably the first time anyone besides his, uncle, mother ot Mai ever hugged Zuko in his entire life. Zuko spends the entire series fighting for what he wants, believing it's all on his own, and for the first time, he has a real family.

* While they clash a lot over things like pragmatism vs. ethics, it's very clear throughout the series that Sokka and Katara love each other dearly. In ''The Painted Lady,'' Sokka makes it clear that he's perfectly aware of who the "Painted Lady" is via pointed jokes, but he doesn't stop Katara from doing her thing until he has actual proof that she lied about Appa being sick. When she tells him point blank she won't turn her back on people who need her, Sokka drops his protests and says "I won't ever turn my back on ''you.''" And at the end of the episode, when the citizens begin vilifying Katara for impersonating the Painted Lady, Sokka jumps in and tells them they should be ''down on their knees'' thanking Katara for everything she's done for them. Things Sokka criticized her for doing!

* The one guard who was kind to Iroh during his imprisonment, and Iroh's returning of that kindness by recommending she take the rest of the day off on the day he plans to escape.

*** It's also a hint to Zuko of just how much the rest of the world hates the Fire Nation. Something he includes in his CallingTheOldManOut speech to Ozai.

** Also Zuko going to rescue a boy that he barely even knows from some Earth Kingdom soldiers. Any doubt that there was good in him should have gone away right there. Then it turns into a TearJerker as he's run out of town for being a Firebender and the son of Ozai.

* In the GrandFinale, [[spoiler:Zuko's and Aang's scene right before Zuko's coronation where they declare they will help rebuild the world]] in the finale is the definition of heartwarming (with a little HoYay).HoYay).
** To be more specific: firstly, we have [[spoiler:Zuko and Aang]] reflecting on how their relationship has changed over the series, and how they've become friends (the best part is how [[spoiler:Zuko]] looks when he says they're friends, as if he's only just now realising that they are):
--->[[spoiler:'''Zuko:''' I can't believe a year ago my purpose in life was hunting you down. And now...]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Aang:''']] And now we're friends.
--->[[spoiler:'''Zuko:''']] Yeah. We are friends.
** And then they promise to [[spoiler:rebuild the world]] together, side by side:
--->[[spoiler:'''Aang:''']] The world's so different now.
--->[[spoiler:'''Zuko''': And it's gonna be even more different. When we rebuild it together.]]
** And then they ''hug''. Which is all the more adorable because it isn't just [[spoiler:Aang hugging Zuko who just takes it - they both reach for each other, making this the first time in the series that Zuko himself hugs someone else.]]
** Finally, they walk out together side by side as [[spoiler:Avatar and Fire Lord, addressing the people. Which is also heartwarming because it harks back to Sozin and Roku's story - once again, the Avatar and the Fire Lord are in balance, working together as best friends.]] Beautiful!
