* "Scott's Tots" has a bittersweet one. Near the end, Erin tries to cheer Micheal by telling him of the increased graduation percentage of the class. So even if he failed, he did arguably help the children.

* A.A.R.M. has Darryl saying goodbye to his coworkers just as they requested - in the form of a dance. It's so genuinely charming to see the generally quiet and reserved Darryl cut loose with each member of the office, and even sweeter when you see that each member gets their own personal dance with him (he and Nellie do a PG-grind, he and Toby do the cowboy, he and Oscar do a simple vogue... so on and so forth).

** A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment has him seen talking with Erin and Pete at the warehouse party. Given how immature and bitter Andy acted when Erin left him for Pete, it’s nice to see that he’s made peace with them and has no hard feelings.

* In "Customer Loyalty", Pam breaks down in tears after a fight with Jim, so the boom mic operator, named Brian, goes to comfort her.

** Following Jim's talk, Dwight returns to his desk resuming his overbearing personality. Jim is actually pleased at this, realizing that his words really did get through to him.

* In "The Seminar", Andy holds a business seminar with Phyllis, Dwight, Stanley and Jim as speakers. When Phyllis, Dwight and Stanley pull out because they think there is no money in the customers (Jim for separate reasons), Andy has to rely on Kevin, Kelly and Creed being willing to replace them. They all do (except for Kelly) a terrible job but it becomes apparent that some of these customers have genuinely good business ideas. Phyllis, Dwight and Stanley try to worm their way back into Andy's good graces to steal the potential clients from him, until Darryl warns him about their real motivations. When it comes time at the end of the seminar for Andy to pitch his business to the customers (he is last on the sales leaderboard and really needs to the business), it's Michael that takes him aside and tells him that Kevin, Kelly and Creed believed in him, he believes in him and he should believe in himself and he will stall them until Andy is ready. He made a couple of sales with the assistance of Michael and Holly. It's a Crowning Moment of Awesome for both Andy and Michael as a boss.

* It's also worth noting that ''everyone'' else in the office showed up to Jim's party. Even before Jim misled Dwight to believe it was a surprise party for Michael, it seemed he was still planning on attending.

* It's a very brief moment, but Pam giving Toby the Dunder-Mifflin robe [[CallBack he had taken away from him back in last season's Christmas episode]] as a Christmas present. There were apparently only a limited number of robes made, so she presumably heard about what happened and decided to save her robe for next year's gift to Toby rather than use it.

* "Christmas Party" shows us a lot of JerkAss, selfish behaviour. In particular, Michael hates the present Phyllis gave him: an oven mitt she knitted. Phyllis is dejected through the rest of the gift exchange. When Meredith sees this, she takes the oven mitt during her Yankee Swap. (Of course, it's after the iPod is unavailable, but still).

* In "The Promotion" Jim struggles with telling the office that they won't be getting their pay raises as expected. Locked in Jim's office, Michael steps out and gets a mug with some gin for Jim (together with his own. The lettering: "World's Best Boss".

* In "Dream Team", Michael is a wreck and can't bring himself to get dressed, let alone start up his new independant company that has no prospects. Throughout the episode, Pam does everything a person can do to motivate and support him. She encourages him to keep going and keeps trying to give him a sense of accomplishment. By the end of the episode, their roles reverse. The futility of their efforts has gotten to Pam and she becomes distraught at where she's ended up, but Michael returns the favour and gives her a pep talk into not giving up. It's one of Michael's most sincere and serious moments.

** Showing just how far his relationship with Dwight has come, Jim "pranks" him one last time- by doing everything he can to make his wedding day as special as possible (including [[spoiler: getting Michael to come all the way from Colorado to be Dwight's "Bestest Mensch")]].
