** When he calls Zack the next Jimmy Hendrix, what appears to be his then still unsupportive father strokes his head.

** As pointed out by the comments under [[this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUdI_BER6GU&ab_channel=BingeSociety]] of the Battle of the Bands performance, there's a layer of sweet irony in Dewey's choice of song to perform. "Legend of the Rent", Dewey's self-penned track which he intended to be the one played, is a cheesy IAmGreatSong ego trip where he complains about his mistreatment by his former bandmates. After his CharacterDevelopment, Dewey is humble enough to choose Zack's song as the better one. In a roundabout way, Dewey still ends up singing an IAmGreatSong, only this time it represents the gratitude Zack and the kids have in him.

** A small but sweet moment: when Billy asks Dewey to be the stylist, Dewey tells him "of course you can, Fancy Pants". Not only Dewey immediately accepts the request, but his tone is completely understanding without any trace of exasperation.

** After their performance, one of the members of No Vacancy congratulates Zach on their song, genuinely being extremely encouraging of a young musician finding his voice. Another is impressed with Freddy's drumming.

** The context of Zach's song is especially heartwarming when you read between the lines. Zach is so awestruck and grateful for Dewey's help as a teacher that he wrote ''an entire song'' out of gratitude. The other kids don't even disagree with him or make fun of him, they have fun performing the song and share that statement about Dewey. Tomika even threw in her own verse and sang in the style of Aretha Franklin, someone Dewey referenced positively when he was giving her a pep talk.

* Ned in his rocker outfit sweeps Patti off her feet, literally, and says he's treating her to Red Lobster. It's implied Patti gets a HeelFaceTurn and mellows towards Ned and Dewey because of it.

* When Freddy goes off to play cards (and drink?) with some douchebags, Dewey is terrified. He lost a kid and found him with some jerks who are willing to daydrink with a ten year old. He rips them a new one and tells them they have to be responsible when working around children. He's finally learning responsibility himself.

** It starts at lunch right after Dewey introduces the kids to rock. Larry says he doesn't think he's cool enough to be in the band, but Dewey tells him that being in the band is what makes you cool enough to be in the band and teaches him lame cool handshake.

* Seeing the kids start to light up as Dewey connects with them through music and infects them with his actual passion. Even Summer starts tapping along.
** Dewey has a small HeelRealization when one of the kids sadly asks, "You mean we're not in the band?" and tells him that "Just because you're not in the band doesn't mean you're not in the band." and starts assigning everyone positions.
