* Nick Holiday's crush on Miss Piggy throughout the film was kinda sweet, in an over-the-top weird kinda way, in particular at the end, when he assures her that it was for real and begs her not to hate him. She in turn assures him that she doesn't, even if she doesn't return his romantic feelings.
** He even felt guilty for having to frame her.
** Meta Example: After Charles Grodin's passing in 2021, Miss Piggy wrote a rather [[https://twitter.com/MissPiggy/status/1394789906312990721 touching]] tribute to him on Twitter.

* Piggy is torn between Kermit and Nicky throughout the movie. Then Nicky frames her for theft, and Kermit poses as her lawyer to inform her that the Muppets are heading to the Mallory Gallery to stop Nicky from stealing the Baseball Diamond and to clear her name. This cements her resolve; she breaks out of jail with only her strength and satin gloves, steals a few vehicles, and pulls a BigDamnHeroes moment by driving to the Gallery. She arrives just when Nicky takes Kermit hostage and knocks the thief down before curbstomping his cronies. Later when an arrested Nicky and Piggy talk, Piggy says she learned that the difference between right and wrong is that a "right" guy will put his life on the line for you, and a "wrong" guy will leave you to rot. "He is right," Piggy affirms, returning to Kermit.
