* After AccidentalAthlete Ashley Q kicks a kickball far out of sight, a crowd of students lifts her up, chanting her name. At first, Ashley Q is confused and flustered, but then she starts smiling in a rare NotSoAboveItAll moment. The way she starts taking kickball more seriously (albeit in her usual AlphaBitch way) for both the rest of the episode and the occasional future episode makes it clear that the experience really impacts her.

* When Randall rats out TJ for doing a silly impression of King Bob, Bob doesn't mind in the least and even says he expects that of TJ.

[[AC:My Funny Valentines]]
* When the Ashleys start to get into a fight over how TJ gave each of them a valentine, Ashley A successfully pleads for her friends not to fight each other for the sake of a guy who is seemingly stringing all of them along. While it isn't heartwarming watching them rally a mob against TJ, it is nice seeing their bonds of friendship keep them from fighting.

[[AC:That Stinking Feeling]]
* Spinelli having a crush on Johnny V. is quite sweet in and of itself, even if it causes her a lot of internal strife.
* The Ashleys, instead of teasing Spinelli over her crush, gently tell her that they understand and reveal a wall of pictures of boys they like. Though she throws it back in their faces, them actually trying to be nice and understanding with Spinelli was surprising.
* Miss Finster finds out about Spinelli's crush and has a little heart-to-heart chat with her, assuring her that she knows how she feels and that even if love ends up going sour, the experience is worth it.
* At the end, Spinelli keeps Johnny V.'s knocked out baby tooth with a fond smile.
