* Face and Murdock screaming and jumping around like two young brothers after Murdock wins the game.
* While it's never expressly stated, it seems that Murdock chose most of his prizes -- a chest of 100 very fancy cigars, a year's supply of car wax, and a luxurious water bed -- with his teammates in mind



* Face tells Murdock that he was 'always the one he thought he could count on', which is a slightly surprising line, and implies that the two of them have an even closer friendship than has been previously suggested.

* Murdock's concern when Face is shot. To see the fun-loving, happy-go-lucky CloudCuckooLander turn so [[TranquilFury deadly serious]] is absolutely jarring. The look of pure hatred he gives the man responsible...''shudder.''
* Then at the end when Murdock finally gets his hands on the guy who shot Face and starts relentlessly pounding him, and literally has to be pulled off of him. It really shows what Murdock is capable of when someone he cares about is hurt, seeing as he's usually the least violent of the team. You do ''not'' want to get on Murdock's bad side.
** He beats the guy unconscious. Face being hurt appears to be Murdock's particular [[BerserkButton Berserk Button.]]

Murdock expresses complete disbelief that a pretty girl like her wouldn't have a boyfriend, which Kelly dismisses, saying she's never considered herself attractive. So Murdock picks up a mirror to show her. Made all the more heartwarming by the fact that Dwight Schultz and Wendy Fulton are still married after being together 30+ years.
