* Eric, deciding to demonstrate his lucky penny, asks a member of the football team if "As an athlete on the football team, is it distracting being gay?". There's a pause, as the scene seems set-up for him to try & attack Eric only for Jack to take the abuse... Only he happily thanks Eric for outing him since he's been holding it for so long, before turning to his teammaters & admitting that he's gay. And then the rest of the team say it's no big deal - They're ''all'' gay.

* Topanga's sudden proposal to Cory at the end of "Graduation," which, in itself, she did out of fear they'd go their separate ways after high school. Then, Cory ceremoniously proposes to her later- although there's no spontaneity involved in it and it seems a little pointless now.

-->George Feeny: "I believe that when you find love, you hold on to it and cherish it because there is nothing finer, and it may never come again."
-->Prudence Curtis: [steps forward] "Prudence Curtis, I'm Topanga's aunt."
-->Feeny: [steps forward as well] "George Feeny, I'm Topanga's teacher."
-->Curtis: "Well, I don't know that I appreciate what you are teaching these children, sir. To plant wild ideas about true love in young undeveloped minds is as irresponsible as my sister and brother-in-law ripping her from the only environment she's ever known. At this... delicate time."
-->Feeny: "Madam, if you choose to question my opinions, then you disregard 38 years in the public school system, where I have born the responsibility of those opinions for 30,000 students. None held in higher regard than Mr. Matthews and Ms. Lawrence."
-->Cory Matthews: [sits up excitedly] "You like me?"
-->Feeny: "Stay out of this."

* One of this troper's favorite story arcs on any television show, ever, was the romance between Mr. Feeney and Dean Bolander. Watching William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett (one of Hollywood's most successful marriages in RealLife) blush and fumble around each other like high schoolers never fails to put a smile on her face.

* Shawn telling Cory his half-brother Eddie is "only blood" and that Cory is his real family.

* Eric throughout "Seven the Hard Way." The rest of the group is letting current, very bitter disagreements drive them apart, but Eric remains resolute in forcing everyone to work things out and stay together. This is brought to the fore by him imagining what things would be like if he fails, where his future-self has one philosophy: "Lose one friend. Lose all friends. Lose yourself." When asked why he didn't write any more than that, Eric replies, "Nothing else seemed important.
* Eric again in "Can I Help to Cheer You?" Eric's young orphan friend Tommy has been adopted, but will have to move to California. Tommy would rather stay with Eric and vice-versa. However, Eric realizes Tommy would be better off in California. When Tommy begs to stay with him, Eric lies about not wanting Tommy. It's a TearJerker for Eric, but also a CMOH, as it shows how much he has grown up and how willing he is to put his own happiness aside for someone else.
