* "Masquerade". As the detectives discuss their suspected killer's story of acting in self-defense after the victim raped her, Natalie expresses doubt. Alesha walks into the room and with just a ''[[DeathGlare look]]'', Matt warns Natalie to be quiet, then gently asks her if she's okay, knowing full well how painful it must have been to hear a story so much like hers. James has a similar scene a few minutes later.

"Honor Bound": Matt's frantic reaction at the beginning of the episode when he thought Ronnie may have been shot.
*** ** And at the end:



*** Especially poignant considering that he feels responsible for everything given that he kept pushing for further investigation into the murky events of the opening sequence.
*** Even better, as they walk off, Ronnie reciprocates Matt's efforts at offering him comfort by putting his arm around his shoulders, as if to assure him that he doesn't blame him for what's happened.
** "Confession", full stop: from Ronnie keeping hold of Matty at the crime scene, to the Guv telling him to watch over Matt, to the end scene in the church and "I'll be outside when you're finished."
*** Ronnie's line, "God forbid Matty here got himself shot, I'd be out there straightaway trying to find out who did it and string him up myself." It became quite HarsherInHindsight given Matt's eventual fate, but at the time, it was genuinely touching to see just how fond of Matt Ronnie had become.
** The bit in "Help" after Ronnie gets held at gunpoint. Especially the subversion that it's ''Matt'', and not Ronnie, who's most shaken by the whole thing, and is on the receiving end of a nice cuppa.
*** "You ain't getting rid of me that easy, sunshine."
