History Heartwarming / StarWarsTheCloneWars

* If you watch carefully throughout the episode, Ahsoka deliberately avoids killing ''anyone'' (only Bariss was the one who did). She would later repeat these actions again during Order 66. It seems like she's always had a heart for the clones.

* Although Bariss was begging Ahsoka to kill her, Ahsoka instead manages to free her from the brain worms. When they are rescued, Ahsoka is seen cradling Bariss on her lap, having succumbed to cold.

** The first thing Ahsoka asks about is if Bariss was okay and is relieved to know she is.

* Though it's partially being done to troll his master, Anakin's enthusiastic ShipperOnDeck attitude towards Obi-Wan and Satine is also heartwarming. Seeing as though he's secretly married and happy with Padme despite everyone around him (''including'' Obi-Wan himself)'' telling him to let go of her, it's genuinely sweet to see Anakin encourage his master to pursue his feelings and be happy, even if he knows it's not really going to happen.

** A blink and you'll miss it moment, when Rex is telling Anakin about Ahsoka taking on Grevious, Denal, the only other clone trooper to survive, is seen lowering his head in respect. It's likely he thinks that she's dead and is quietly paying his respects. Thankfully, Ahsoka is one of the lucky few who survived their fight against him.

* A bittersweet moment occurs after Boba plants a bomb at the door to Mace Windu's quarters. After he's been called to the bridge by Anakin, he passes down some datadisks to the clone trooper who gave him the message and tells them to place them in his quarters instead. Of course, he triggers the explosive trap and, while the ship alert is blaring, we see Windu Force pulling the clone trooper's body away from the danger, takes his helmet off, and places him in his lap. Mace then shakes the clone trooper lightly and asks if he can hear him, possibly still clinging to a tiny shread of hope that the trooper yet still lives. A bitter moment since this is not the case, but sweet since we see yet again that he cares what happens to his clone troopers.

* Also, when Govner Roshti thanks the Jedi for rescuing his people, Anakin rejects it, stating that Ahsoka was the real hero, since it was her creativity that saved the day. Ahsoka's reaction? A shy almost "ashamed" smile, and deliberately staring at the floor.

* Eventhough he's a villain, Savage smiling for Maul's victory over Pre Vizla is a little endearing.

* In it's own roundabout way, Vader taking Ahsoka's lightsaber with him when he appears at the end of the episode. It'll be a long, long road, with a lot of pain and suffering in between, but that little gesture proves that somewhere, deep inside, [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Anakin Skywalker lives]].

* In the beginning of the episode, after one of their tanks breaks down due to being hit by Separatist fire, Mace Windu chases out his men and tells them to take cover, while he rushes back and breaks the window of the tank with the force, so he can get the injured driver to safety. This is proof that even one of the most serious members of the Council does not consider his clones to be expendable.

* Obi-Wan trying to relate to Anakin about what he is going through with Padmé in "The Rise of Clovis", showing that while he does not fully grasp at Anakin relationship with Padmé, he still wants to help (It is also a bit of fridge brilliance since it can also be seen as a CallForward to ''Return of the Sith'').

** When Talzin's followers attribute all of the chaos unfolding to "The Jedi" Windu is quick to note that it's "The Jedi and the Gungan", giving Jar Jar credit where it's due for his help.

* Katuunko, the King of Toydaria, proves to be an honorable man and reluctant to side with the Separatists. When Katuunko finally decides to join the Republic, Yoda saves him from being assassinated by Ventress, which the king is very grateful and pledges undying loyalty to the Republic.

* During the opening narration in "The Gathering", one of the flashbacks shown is Plo Koon taking care of a very young Ahsoka. The sight of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cN04yIqrI baby Ahsoka]] during the opening narration is {{Moe}} UpToEleven.

* Anakin, despite immediately earlier killing Trench in cold blood, still takes the time to give the remote detonator to Wrecker specifically, who proclaims it, ([[TearsOfJoy crying in happiness), the best day of his life.

* 99 helping the clone troopers receive their weapons.

** Though it gets better as a heartwarming subplot- flash forward to ''Rebels,'' and Numa remembers them.

* Numa being reunited with her uncle, Nilim Bril. They only speak Twi'leki but it's still clear how relieved they are to see each other.
