* In "The Odd Couple", Tommy spends the weekend at Chuckie's house, and the two drive each other crazy. Near the end of the episode, Tommy snaps and kicks Chuckie's block tower after having previously put up with Chuckie's rules, and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone almost immediately regrets doing so]] when he realizes that he upset Chuckie. That night, Tommy tells Chuckie that he didn't mean to make him mad, he just misses being at this own house and doing things his own way. Chuckie then realizes that sometimes people just need to be in their own house and do things their own way. Also, [[BlanketTugOWar having hogged most of Chuckie's blanket for himself]] previous nights, Tommy shows concern for Chuckie shivering from the cold and shares some of the blanket.

** Just Chaz' relationship with Chuckie in general. Since his wife is dead, Chaz must act as Chuckie's mother as well as his father, and [[{{WAFF}} he does considerably well]]. Episodes like "Toy Palace" and "The Carwash" show his protective "fatherly" side, while episodes like "In the Dreamtime" and "The Smell of Success" show his caring "motherly" side. No wonder Chuckie thinks of his dad as a mom in his own right come Mother's Day.

** The poem Chuckie's mom wrote for him. [[{{Tearkjerker}} Keep tissues handy]].

* The end of the Mother's Day episode with the poem Chuckie's mom wrote for him.

** Arguably the entire episode, although special mention goes to the scenes of Tommy and Phil and Lil talking about their mums. Specifically, Tommy refers to him being in a "giant fishtank" (an incubator) and Didi comes in and holds his hand, while Phil and Lil mention that they first started laughing after they were fed "the old way" (breastfed).
*** To make the latter even better, the twins comment that their first laugh is their mother's favorite memory of them.
** The moment from this episode where Didi finally gets through to Chaz, that while he fears Chuckie will be sad if he misses her, it's better than if Chuckie forgot her.
--> '''Didi''': Chaz, I think it's time you shared these things with Chuckie.
--> '''Chaz''': [[AdultFear I'm just afraid he'll miss her.]]
--> '''Didi''': Then you can ''miss'' her ''together.''
** A milder version, Didi decides to treat Minka to a day at the spa for a Mother's Day gift, but Minka is unimpressed. At the end, Didi is upset, saying she just wanted to find something for her mother that she would like. Minka just said, "You want to know what I like?" She then hugs Didi and says "''This'', I like."

** Also counts as a MomentOfAwesome, because not only does he save his son, but he executes a perfect swan dive in the process, drawing a genuine "WOW!" from both Chaz and Howard.

* Angelica saving the babies from Josh, also doubles as a MomentOfAwesome. "They may be just a buncha dumb babies, but they're '''my''' DUMB BABIES!"

** Before that, Tommy's song for Dil--framed as a cheesy but nonetheless sweet lounge act, it's a nice little brotherly love song.

* In the season 2 episode "The Big Flush," a major plot point is that Stu is deathly afraid of jumping off the high dive. However, when Tommy and the babies jump on the low board and Tommy almost falls in, Stu doesn't hesitate for a second to jump off the high dive and save his son.

--> "Chuckie, how would you like to dance with your new mommy?"

At the end, Didi is upset, saying she just wanted to find something for her mother that she would like. Minka just said, "You want to know what I like?" She then hugs Didi and says "'This', I like."
