* The IntergenerationalFriendship that forms between Theodore and the Colberts’ butler Tobias in “The Secret”. So much so that near the end, Tobias decides to betray the Colberts, who are actually vampires that only adopted Theo so they could feed on him, and tries to escape with Theo. Tobias [[HeroicSacrifice ultimately gives his life protecting Theo]], who in turn avenges his death and takes down the Colberts; it helps that he turns out to be a werewolf, of course.

* The season six episode "You, Murderer" is this for lovers of classic movies. The entire episode is filmed from the first person perspective of the main character...who is played by the long-dead HumphreyBogart.

Further, the episode goes so far as to credit Bogart with an acting role, meaning Bogie got to be the star from beyond the grave.

* The relationship between Ford and Cammy, the zombie criminals in "Cold War" is, for the most part, violent (and almost abusive) in nature. However, after a battle with a vampire, they take a multi-story fall out a window, which leaves the formerly good-looking couple battered and mutilated. Cammy has exposed bones poking through the skin of her chest (which looks bad, but is livable), but Ford shredded half his face, making it impossible for him to properly speak, eat, or drink. The episode ends with the two of them in a bar together, with Cammy trying to help Ford drink and gently stroking his face as he starts choking, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther promising to take good care of him]]--because, after all, they're two of a kind.

* The love story between Devlin and Stacey in "The Thing From the Grave". When Devlin discovers that Stacey's JerkAss boyfriend is physically and emotionally abusing her, he quietly offers her an extra key to his apartment because he's "worried for her safety". While there's clearly sexual tension between them, it's obvious he cares about her very much and wants her to be safe and happy. After Stacey takes him up on his offer, he gives her a necklace imbued with the power of a Mayan god, explaining that if you make a promise while holding it, no matter what, you will keep that promise. Devlin promises that he will always keep her safe -- and he does, literally rising from the grave (after being murdered by Stacey's boyfriend) to save her from being killed as well.
