History Heartwarming / SixteenThirtyTwo

* Before the battle of Jena, a 'downtimer' German lieutenant named Ferdinand mocks the Americans for using women in combat, predicting that they'll be worse that useless. Shortly thereafter, [[FriendlySniper Julie Sims]] annihilates all of the enemy's top officers in a matter of minutes, leading to an incredibly quick victory without a single German casualty. Ferdinand hesitates, feeling [[ScarsAreForever a scar he carries from a battle years before]], then abruptly snatches off his helmet and leads the whole contingent in a cheer for "Joo-li".

* Before the battle of Jena, Ferdinand, one of the 'down-timer' German lieutenants, is mocking the Americans' decision to have women fight, saying that they'll start [[DamselInDistress screaming in terror]], their men will run off to comfort them, and it'll be down to the Germans to fight the battle. ''After'' the battle of Jena, in which [[FriendlySniper Julie]] has taken down the top dozen offers of the approaching 'army', who then surrendered without firing a shot to the cavalry and APC, Heinrich (Ferdinand's boss) begins gently mocking Ferdinand for his cynicism ... and Ferdinand, after a brief hesitation, and after feeling [[ScarsAreForever the ridged scar a pike gave him in battle years before]], abruptly snatches off his helmet and starts up a cheer for "Joo-li" that the entire German contingent joins him in.

** First, whatever other Grantvillers thought of Tom "Stoner" Stone, his sons deeply love and respect him as a father. In the words of his eldest son [[spoiler:Faramir]]Frank:

* Priscilla Totman uses her obstetrics training to deliver the child of Crown Prince Dara, saving both mother and son when she begins it becomes apparent the child is a breech birth. The Emperor summons Priscilla to his throne and, before the entire court, has her weighed on a human-sized scale against silver bars. Which is awesome in and of itself- up until Princess Nadira hands the child to Priscilla, adding his weight to hers when the final tally is being made.

[[AC:1634: The Ram Rebellion]]
* Florence, a borderline Hoarder, has a treasure trove of unused Christmas gifts, jars, cans, bottles, and other "garbage" in her basement that would bring her enough wealth to become landed nobility. But everyone in town also knows that she has a secret stash of Costco coffee- her one vice. She starts going into raging caffeine withdrawal due to trading it all for extra livestock.
* Most of Florence's stress comes from trying to find a particular type of Ram to continue breeding ewes that make fine wool. Her only breeding Ram that survived the Ring of Fire is an ornery creature with terrible wool of his own that will ruin the pedigree of her flock. It's named "Brillo".

** First, whatever other Grantvillers thought of Tom "Stoner" Stone, his sons deeply love and respect him as a father. In the words of his eldest son Frank:

* The blossoming relationship between Princess Kristina and Prince Ulrik. While Ulrik was already quite pleased at the prospect of marrying Kristina despite their considerable age gap -- his worst fear having been married off to a dull, boring noblewoman, which Kristina is most ''decidedly'' not -- the slow growth of trust and affection between them is a heartwarming signal of things to come. As of 1636, Kristina's greatest fear is Ulrik abandoning her. This is one ArrangedMarriage that, quite touchingly, looks like it's going to [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage turn out all right]].
