** The whole episode had Stephanie desperately looking for her favorite toy, Mr. Bear, [[TragicKeepsake because it was a gift from her mother from when she first came home with newborn Michelle.]] Then she watches the above video with the whole family and pints out DJ’s resemblance to their mother, DJ points out Stephanie resembles their mother as well. Then it turns out Michelle hidden Mr. Bear and gives it back to Stephanie.

-->'''Jesse:''' It's a lousy situation, kid... I realize how hard this was on you. But the bottom line is: thanks to you - thanks to Stephanie - Charles's father can't hurt him tonight.

-->'''Jesse:''' I don't know. I look at you girls... and I look at Nicky and Alex... how could anyone hurt their child?

* The scene in which an amnesiac Michelle finds out her mom died during the final episode. She was only a baby when her mom died. She becomes afraid that she still won't remember her, even if she does get her memories back. Thankfully, she does in the end.

-->'''Michelle:''' ''[[FlatWhat What?]]''

He's almost in ''tears''. Thankfully, Jesse lightens the mood by showing Danny a picture of Pam with pudding and finger paint in her hair.
