History Heartwarming / NCISLosAngeles

* "Parallel Resistors" ends with a young girl giving Callen and Sam a thank-you hug for saving her from kidnappers. Callen points out how sweet the moment it.

* "Matroyshka Part 2" Callen not only finds out his real name but meets his father.

* The end of "The Seventh Child," where the boy who was brainwashed into becoming a suicide bomber and narrowly saved by Callen finally meets his long-lost family.

* "Humbug" When commitment-phobe Kensi works up the courage to tell Deeks that she wants them to be together and Deek's response is another BigDamnKiss.

* "Humbug" When commitment-phone Kensi works of the courage to tell Deeks that she wants them to be together and Deek's response is another BigDamnKiss.

** That episode would be "Allegiance", Episode 13 of Season 5.

* "Merry Evasion." Kensi has been sent on a long term covert op out of the county (RealLifeWritesThePlot, her actress was pregnant). None of her team members know where she is or when she'll be back, only that the mission is critical and dangerous. As a Christmas gift Hetty sends her a secure satellite phone with 2 numbers programmed in and warns her never to let the phone out of her sight, that it is Kensi's lifeline. One of these numbers calls Hetty directly. The other number calls Deeks.

* Anything involving Hetty and Callen. Despite being protective of all her agents. Callen is the most like a son to her and she went out of her way to look out for him.

* Can't remember the episode's name, but it involved a young Arabic man who was eager to become an American citizen. After he helps the team foil a terrorist attack on a ceremony to induct hundreds of new citizens, Hetty calls in the presiding judge to personally administer the Oath of Allegiance. The citizen-to-be immediately recites the oath from memory without any help. The look on the judge's face is what sells it.

* "War Cries" has a nice one. Nell has just come very close to being CurbStomped in the boathouse by a witness that turns out to be the bad guy. As she is walking back into Ops sporting stiches and bruises, she has Deek's hoodie wrapped around her.

* After Deeks is tortured, he says he wants to get away from everything, Kenzi concludes he also means ''everyone'' and is a bit devastated considering he gave her a BigDamnKiss before he was tortured. Then Deeks follows up with this.

* In "Neighborhood Watch" Kensi and Deeks have to go undercover as a married couple. When questioned about how they met, they tell the truth (the MMA gym in "Hand-to-Hand", Deeks first appearance) right down to what the other was wearing.

* After Deeks' is tortured, he says he wants to get away from everything, Kenzi concludes he also means ''everyone'' and is a bit devastated considering he gave her a BigDamnKiss before he was tortured. Then Deeks follows up with this.

* And again, from the same "Deeks recovering from the effects of torture" plotline: Kensi brings him food and insists he watch a scary movie with her, but he just drifts off to sleep on the couch beside her before the film even starts. After having major insomnia for the past several days, the fact that he finally calmed down enough from her blabbering on about the movie [[TastesLikeDiabetes may have you reaching for your insulin]] and [[ShipTease loving the whole thing]]. Especially telling is the [[TalkingInYourSleep seemingly incoherent mumbling as he's drifting off]]: [[spoiler:"It's a love story."]] This ''could'' be taken as him trying to respond to her ranting about the movie, ''or'' it could be taken as him finally answering Nate's question (he ''did'' say Deeks would be able to sleep when [[spoiler:he finally admitted to himself what was different about his relationship with Kensi from his relationship with any other member of the team]]).

* It's a very small moment, but in "Kill House", [[spoiler: Nell]] has been kidnapped by a team that professionally trains tactical units to go on missions. One of their biggest issues when they ran simulations was that they fell out of team mode, when they became deceived about their mission status. Not only has the team been [[CurbStompBattle curb stomped]] by them twice, they have a person inside. After they take care of the perimeter guards, they are all gathered together in a diagonal line but covering different directions and sight lines with their guns. When the perimeter's clear, Callan taps Deeks on the shoulder, Deeks taps Sam, Sam taps Kensi, and they all move at the same time into the building. The transition from how they ran the practice ops (very good) vs. going in for [[spoiler: Nell]] (freaking surgical) was amazing and all shown in that move.

-->'''Deeks:''' Kens? ''(clears his throat)'' Hey, I just want you to know the place I went to in my head, to stop the pain...was you. I just kept thinking about your smile and your laugh. Everything. It's the only thing that got me through. For whatever it's worth.

* ''Blye, K'' is filled with 'em. Notably, Kensi is breaking down in the bathroom, and she calls Deeks. One interpretation is that she just wanted to hear his voice. This ''after'' she calls him the "only one she can trust" ([[FridgeLogic because, screw you, Callen, Sam, and Hetty?]]), which is a really incredible moment.
