* "A Date For Peter": Ray has a cocktail party at his house to set Peter up with a woman. At first, none of the women Ray invited excite Peter. Then Peter meets Peggy, Ray's arch nemesis, and the two hit it off immediately, discussing sci-fi and comic books. Ray purposefully meddles in Peter and Peggy's conversation, because he doesn't want Peter to date his sworn enemy. At first, it looks like a DownerEnding, as Peggy walks out on Peter ("You know what? It was really nice to meet you, but I came here for a drink, not an arranged marriage."). But then when Ray goes to Peter's apartment the next morning to apologize, Peggy exits Peter's bedroom [[DidYouJustHaveSex dressed in only a T-shirt]] and kicks Ray out.

* In "Baggage," Debra and Ray get into a passive-aggressive fight over which of them should carry a suitcase up to the bedroom. They have a battle of wills for weeks, and when Marie finds out about it, she does something surprisingly out of character. She invites Debra over to her house and tells her something she's never even told Ray and Robert: namely, how the giant, tacky fork and spoon that hang on the kitchen wall got there. It turns out they were a wedding present from a relative of Frank's; Marie wanted him to return them, but he wouldn't, and the two ended up arguing just as Ray and Debra did, with Marie remembering the whole unhappy incident every time she comes into the kitchen. She then tells Debra that fighting over something so trivial isn't worth it, and urges her to make up with Ray. It's one of the only times in the whole show that we see Marie offering Debra genuinely good-natured advice--there's nothing manipulative or pushy about the scene. It's just a mother-in-law trying to help her daughter.
* In "Grandpa Steals," Ally sees Frank "sample" some cereal from the grocery store and get into a loud, angry fight with an employee over it. She becomes terrified and avoids Frank, which genuinely upsets him. He comes over and has a one-on-one talk with her, and you can tell he's trying his best to convince his granddaughter that he's not a scary guy. At her insistence, he goes back and apologizes to the employee, who still acts like a complete jerk. Frank is ready to fight again...but instead looks at Ally and quietly takes her hand as she smiles at him. Of course, as he walks out, he "accidentally" knocks over an entire display of oranges, capping the scene with a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

Ray doesn't realize it until Frank tells him how upset he's become over it, but he can't say anything to his lodge brothers, because they're sworn to secrecy about what happens in the lodge. When Ray goes down and tries to sort the situation out, the other lodgers make fun of him--until Frank suddenly appears and tells everyone exactly how he's feeling. The brothers warn him that he risks being kicked out of the lodge, but Frank says Debra is worth it:

* In "The Ball," Ray is upset when he learn that the signed Mickey Mantle baseball Frank got him is actually a fake, that Frank himself signed. When he confronts his father, Frank tells Ray that he tried everything, and he truly meant ''everything'', he could to try and meet Mantle so he could sign the baseball, but things never worked out, and ultimately decided to sign it himself and give it to Ray because he didn't want to disappoint his son. At the very end Frank says he'll understand if he throws it away, but Ray, touched, simply replies, "You know... I think I'll keep it."

* One episode involves Ray dancing with Ally at a some school event and reminiscing about her birth. The whole episode can technically qualify as this trope, but particularly the bookend scenes in the present day that show Ray smiling wistfully at Ally and then agreeing to dance with her despite his insecurity about his dancing skills.
