** As Yennefer escapes, there is a moment that Tissaia watches her go, seemingly fighting to contain a smile - no matter the trouble caused, she is so PROUD of Yennefer that she is pleased to see her resist more of Stregobor's manipulations.

* The banter between first Eist and Ciri, gossiping behind Calanthe's back during a ceremony, only for Calanthe to join in, under the guise of chiding them both for a lack of royal decorum. It really cements the bonds of family between them - and, of course, sets up the devastation of Eist and Calanthe's deaths.

*** The hug itself is INCREDIBLY heartwarming when one considers not just the vitriolic nature of their prior interactions, but just Yennefer's personality and attitude in general - since when does Yennefer of Vengerberg INITIATE a gesture of affection?

* The same prostitute scolds Lambert for storming into Ciri's bedroom with his sword drawn--even in an emergency, a man shouldn't just barge into a young girl's room like that, especially not with a weapon. She even makes him wait outside while she, Ciri, and the other women hide in the room.

* It is a tense moment, but Tissaia saying "please" when asking Yennefer for help is a big deal. It shows how much Tissasia values Yennefer's aid and finally understanding that her former student doesn't take well to orders. It also shows how willing Yennefer was to offer help; all her former teacher had to do to recruit her was ask nicely.

* Giltine, the enchanter, telling Yennefer that while she may be a "first draft of what nature intended", every girl he enchants leaves as a living work of art no matter how "challenging the clay". He doesn't put her down for her looks and seems to be looking forward to working on her. You can tell he enjoys his work and loves the looks on the students faces when he shows them the possibilities he can give them. Also his concern about Yennefer being awake for the enchantment when she comes to him later and his attempt help her through the pain is also very sweet.

**Think about it. Everyone in this random tavern knows the lyrics, and they need very little prompting to sing them. That is how popular it is. And they sing it when the witcher in question returns triumphant. Truly, a hero's welcome.


Added DiffLines:

* While it is also sad, Tissaia's visit to Yennefer is also heartwarming. Tissaia sees her student/surrogate daughter in dire straits: listless, unhappy, and desperate for something she can never have. Leaching off a charmed village mayor is a far cry from CourtMage. She advises Yennefer to come back to Aretuza and help her "shape a new generation". All she has done since abandoning her post, which she broke the rules to get in the first place, will be forgiven if she does. It is very easy to see this scene as a mother urging her way-ward daughter to give up a self-destructive lifestyle and return home.

Jaskier specifically says he hasn't seen Geralt in months, which means it's unlikely that they've been separated for ten years, and Geralt parted with Yennefer on the same day.


* Geralt and Yennefer finally reunite after over a decade of separation, and are immediately awestruck at seeing one another. Despite how things ended between them, neither has a mean thing to say and are just happy to finally see one another again. In fact, they seemingly forget about all their baggage.

* Jaskier is freed from prison by Geralt, and the two reunite after a decade of not speaking. Jaskier immediately hugs him (and Geralt ''hugs back'', admitting he missed the bard too), and it takes very little convincing to make Jaskier join back up with him.

When the Elves leave Cintra they bring Dara with them, proving that there's no resentment or hard feelings towards him.

* When Francesca goes into early labor Filavandrel keeps his promise to be by her side and drops what he's doing to be with her. At first it appears that the baby is another still birth, but Fringilla wraps her in a blanket and holds her until she warms up and starts moving. Francesca and Filavandrel's joy at finally having a healthy baby quickly spreads throughout the rest of the elves who rejoice at a new, full-blood elf being brought into the world.

* Since we last saw him, Jaskier has became the lead operator of an UndergroundRailroad for Elves seeking to flee Redanian persecution. When asked, he can barely hold back tears while recounting about being at an artist's club that was raided; he's clearly disturbed by what his people are doing, and so is actively using his fame and influence as a famous bard to help as much as he can.
** Likewise, while he ''hates'' Yenn, when he finds out she's on the run, he connects that it has to do with her part-elf lineage, and is immediately sensitive to what she's going through. From then on he's much kinder to her, albeit they both trade friendly barbs.

Lambert's jeering at her to stop also switches from insulting her for being unable to do it to ''telling'' her to stop because she's getting so beaten up he doesn't want her to seriously hurt herself.
