* Jason coming to Tara's aid against [[spoiler: Franklin, and shooting him when he refuses to back down.]] It's a nice call-back to when Jason protected Tara when they were kids, and how he's still trying to protect her now as an adult. It also goes to show that Jason isn't afraid of taking on beings more powerful (and dangerous) than him just to protect the people he loves.

* Eric and Pam [[spoiler:saying their goodbyes before Eric tries to kill Russell]] in "Fresh Blood".
-->'''Eric:''' ''(Pam is crying)'' C'mon, what's this?
-->'''Pam:''' Nothing. Just the bleeds.
-->'''Eric:''' You know I love you more when you're cold and heartless. ''(kisses her)''
* Sookie paying for [[spoiler: Egg's Funeral]]. It's a remarkably touching moment that will sadly go forgotten after the [[NightmareFuel ending]] [[FetishRetardant of]] [[BodyHorror the]] [[{{Squick}} episode]].

* [=S4E6=], "I Wish I Was The Moon" -- Erik is [[spoiler:down on his knees, before King]] Bill. He asks first for Pam to be set free, since she seems to be dying already. But then he gives a beautiful speech about what knowing and loving Sookie has meant to him. But then he tops it off by wishing that after his death, that Sookie and Bill can patch things up, because [[IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Sookie deserves]] happiness from whoever it is that can give it to her. All of this in a soft, sincere voice without a hint of irony.

* Say what you want about Maxine, but seeing her comforting Sam and still referring Tommy as her son despite everything and tells Sam to consider her his mom. Maxine may not be mother of the year but when compared to Sam's parents, it's very heartwarming. Even Sam was moved by that.

** Pam goes one better in 'In the Beginning.' [[spoiler: After Lettie Mae effectively disowns Tara for daring to be a vampire, Pam finds Tara crying in her office. Tara expresses surprise that she can still weep over everything Lettie Mae has done to her, and shrugs, saying that she's 'still my Mama.' Pam's response? "In a hundred years, you won't even remember her. And she's not your mother. Not anymore." Cue Tara getting up to hug Pam, and Pam actually being affected by it.]] Awww.

* Doubles as both Heartwarming and TearJerker, but Jason and Sookie's hug right before [[spoiler: Jason goes to act as bait to lure Steve and Russell into a trap that the faeries planned for them.]] It really emphasizes that these two are in the fight for their lives and care deeply for one another.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekahJ5FW67A Jessica's tentative and tearful prayer]] for all of her friends, including Jason who had been so harsh and cruel to her seemingly out of the blue. The fact that she acknowledges that he is in emotional pain rather than just being a jerk makes this extra poignant. Plus her pleading for [[spoiler: Bill to wake from his coma reminds us just how much she looks up to him, no matter what.]]

* Andy and his faerie daughters, full stop. Even with their hand lasers and telepathy and rapid aging (they go from being infants to preteens in less than twenty-four hours), Andy really does love them and is trying his best. [[spoiler: Which makes episode four all the more heartbreaking...]]

* In a subtle way, [[spoiler:Alcide and Sookie in a relationship after the time jump. It's nice seeing her with someone with absolutely no agenda with her other than to make her happy.]]
* Tara hugging Sookie. Even if she was [[spoiler: high on Bill's blood]], it's heartwarming to see the two best friends (although the card is still out on whether or not they can really be considered 'friends' now) embrace considering Tara loathed Sookie for all of last season because of her making Pam turn her.

* After [[spoiler:Alcide's death]], everyone throws a party to try and cheer Sookie up. Among the highlights: Arelene trying to offer Sookie advice about dealing with grief, Sookie finding out that people don't hate her as much anymore, Andy extending an olive branch towards Jessica, and [[spoiler:Andy finally proposing to Holly]].
* Lafayette and James bonding. It's not clear if Sam realized how exceptionally compatible they would be or if he just paired up the unclaimed vampire and human for convenience, but it turned out to be a match made in heaven. Whatever crap is going down in the rest of Bon Temps, these two are taking care of each other...and apparently anyone else they can manage to take under their collective wings, thus far including Jessica ([[spoiler:James trying to talk her into eating and Lafayette feeding her]]), Sookie ([[spoiler:the party]]), Lettie Mae ([[spoiler:Lafayette taking her home and James offering his blood to help her "quest"]]).

* Pam helping Tara transition to being a vampire. It's a very "tough love" approach, but it's still clear that she wants her progeny to have a good unlife, and it only took her three days to start taking an interest, in stark contast to Bill with Jessica.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiquZPiaLik One of the promotional videos for the series]] is about a human busker who got the idea to play really old songs on old instruments in order to appeal to the nostalgia of wealthy vampires. It worked. The vampire who walks up to him when he's playing "When the Cock Begins to Crow" has the nostalgia trip he's going on plastered all over his face, and it's enough to move someone to tears.

* Jesus and Lafayette's initial courtship. There's something cute about seeing the usually so unflappable Lafayette acting like an awkward teenager at prom.
** Jesus comforting Lafayette in the season 3 finale when Lafayette starts having visions of other people (Sam's hands covered in blood, Arlene being strangled by Rene, etc) and is freaking out.
