* I don't know why, but Jack giving him back his glasses after he [[spoiler: Descends in the premiere]] always gives me the warm fuzzies. Made especially poignant as Daniel cannot remember the importance of his glasses, Jack, or this gesture of friendship.

* When Sam talks to Amnesiac!Daniel, she's unclear why he's not eager to learn about who he used to be, and he confesses he's afraid he wouldn't like his former self, that he was left on that planet as penance for some crime (which is sort of true). Sam tells him he's one of the best people she knows, that he'd give his life for a stranger and his only fault is how hard he is on himself when he can't make enough of a difference. It's such a glowing recommendation that Amnesiac!Daniel is a little intimidated by how much he has to live up to.

* In "Stronghold", Landry giving Mitchell permission to use a memory recall device to show his life-long friend Ferguson some of his memories of the past year working for the SGC; memories which easily [[ForWantOfANail could have been his]], if he hadn't taken shrapnel whilst saving Mitchell's life and developed a brain aneurysm, preventing him from getting into the X-302 program.

* Carter and Hammond's conversation in "48". Hammond is under pressure to resume Stargate operations, which will kill Teal'C who is stuck in the buffer, and has finally been ordered to use the Stargate. Carter protests, and Hammond points out that if he refuses, someone else will be in charge in an hour. Then he asks her if an hour would be enough time, his tone making it clear that he'll do it if she says yes.

The sequence ends as before with Mitchell, Carter, Teal'c and Daniel striding forward in unison to enter the gate - but now with the addition of Vala belatedly jogging into the gate room. Daniel holds back to walk with her, and the two enter the gate together after the others have gone through.

* "Avatar." Teal'c is trapped in an UnwinnableTrainingSimulation, and analysis from the others reveals that the program's ability to learn based on the user includes [[spoiler: incorporating Teal'c's belief that that the Goa'uld could never be defeated.]] When Daniel enters the program to assist him however, they eventually meet success, with Fridge adding the heartwarming. Teal'c knew he couldn't do it alone, but doing it with his TrueCompanions was another story.

* In "Affinity", Teal'c gets an apartment off base and becomes very popular and something of a local legend in his neighborhood for helping everyone out from fixing pipes to stopping muggers. At the end as Teal'c is moving out one of the local kids shows Teal'c he painted Teal'c forehead tattoo on his skateboard to remember him by. Teal'c replies he "Is honored" by the gesture which is really special when you consider that it is the symbol for Apophis and Teal'c in the past said it symbolized "Slavery to false gods."
* "Threads". Teal'c and Bra'tac are discussing who will lead the free Jaffa. While Bra'tac seems sure he will die soon, Teal'c is unwilling to admit his mentor is too old and seems sure his mentor will provide wisdom and guidance to the Jaffa for years to come.

The Asgard do help, and fill O'Neill on the grand alliance of four races, including the Asgard and the Ancients. And O'Neill's little adventure has impressed the Asgard, who state that humanity is well on our way to standing beside these giants of the cosmos as equals.

* "Cold Lazarus", the revelation that the crystal-energy being just wanted to help Jack heal from the loss of his son. Specifically, the crystal being thought it could just bring his son back. It didn't understand that he *couldn't* be brought back because he was dead. The being said later "physical death is not the same for us". Basically, the crystal beings don't have a concept of permanent death.

* ''Torment of Tantalus''. The story of an Earth scientist who got marooned offworld completely alone for '''50 years'''. When SG-1 finally makes contact with him, Daniel starts explaining who they are and where they came from... and Ernest, after starting at them in silent disbelief, raises a hand and prods Daniel in the chest. Daniel gets the meaning and quietly confirms that yes, they're very much not just a figment of Ernest's imagination - and Ernest immediately breaks down and starts hysterically sobbing into his chest.
-->'''Ernest:''' ''It's... about... time!!''
** The rest of Ernest's dialogue in the episode as well:
--->'''Ernest:''' I tried to read it, I... tried to understand, but...
--->'''Daniel:''' A 146 elements, letters or symbols, if they're letters, if they're pictograhic- I mean, this could take a lifetime!
--->'''Ernest:''' More.
** In the finale:
--->'''Daniel:''' I have to finish this!
--->'''Ernest:''' It's not worth it!
--->'''Daniel:''' This is!
--->'''Ernest:''' ''Nothing is!''
--->'''Daniel:''' Well, our histories and people would be very different if everyone felt that way-
--->'''Ernest:''' ''(forcibly turns Daniel to face him)'' No prize is worth attaining if you can never share it! There would be no point! Believe me... ''(fighting with tears)'' ''I know!''



* At the end of the first episode of the second season, the team has defeated Apophis [[spoiler: sort of]] and gone back to Earth. But they had to leave Daniel, injured and dying, on Apophis' ship. When they get back to SGC, though, he's already there. Sam says his name in this shocked voice, and Jack shouts "Space Monkey, yeah!" and goes over and hugs him. The final shot, of the team and just about everyone else in SGC hugging as the camera zooms out through the Stargate, had to get a smile out of everyone.

** The entire idea of the Tok'ra. A group of creatures who are the same species as the Goa'uld, yet they have turned their backs on, and are in fact rebelling against, the evil tyrannical ways of the System Lords. Instead, they have formed [[ThePowerofFriendship true friendship bonds with willing hosts]] who will help them survive, and in turn, the host gains a lengthened lifespan and their simplistic (to the Tok'ra) diseases cured, plus they, together, have also formed alliances as strong with other species as their hosts are with their symbiotes. You gotta say "Awwww" at that, even if the idea is a bit [[Squick squicky at first]].

Sure enough, he immediately tells Teal'c, who was clearly expecting Daniel to hate him, that he did the right thing.
