** One particularly touching moment is when Lewis' attempt at fixing the peanut butter and jelly device results in it exploding. Lewis is plainly terrified that the family will be upset (like the couple earlier in the film) and starts to stammer out apologies frantically. To his obvious surprise, they start congratulating him on a wonderful failure ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg well, except Petunia]]) and Billie passes on the excellent [[AnAesop aesop]] of [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped "From failure, you learn. From success...not so much."]]

* Goob receiving some comfort from his baseball team coach after he fumbled the final catch of the game. [[spoiler:Unlike his original timeline, it seems like Goob would have gone down a path where he wouldn’t have been consumed by hate for Lewis and had a better life.]]

Added DiffLines:

* It may not be so obvious but the fact that Lewis was not only adopted but also adopted by two accomplished scientists. He was adopted by parents who understood him and would nurture his gifts. Comparing to the couple we saw earlier who was interviewing him for adoption, they clearly wouldn't have been good for him as he was nothing like them. But he ended up finding parents who were.

** When we see Lewis' birth mother is leaving him at the orphanage, she gives her son a big hug goodbye, knowing she'd never see him again. He sees this, knowing his birth mother truly did love him and wanted him to have a good life, leaving him at the orphanage knowing she couldn't make that happen for him.
