1* In the episode "Interview With a Campfire" at the end when they are watching the video.
2* In "Truth or Consequences", Pangborn suggests that Dil should learn to be normal. Didi goes into MamaBear mode in response for essentially wanting to make her son unhappy and without identity.
3-->'''Pangborn:''' Dil is a very interesting kid, but he's just a little ''too'' interesting for his own good. But a few weeks with me, and I assure you he will be just like a functioning member of society.\
4'''Didi:''' So what you're saying is with ''your'' help, Dil will be just like every other generic, homogeneous kid without an original thought in his head?\
5'''Pangborn:''' (''stammering'') Well, I, uh…\
6'''Didi:''' Now you listen to me, Mister! Just because my Dil sees the world differently, you want to ''change'' him? Well, ''shame on you''! He is a one of a kind; an original whose individuality should be ''encouraged''! In fact, if everyone was more like Dil, the world would be a better, more ''interesting'' place to live in!
7** Stu's uneasy wincing and cringing at the scene makes it clear standing up to an ex-wrestler without flinching is no small feat.
8** This goes a long way from the Didi who wanted to be a textbook mom. She didn't decide to stand up for Dil's individuality because [[CallBack Lipshitz]] said so, that choice was ''her own''.
9* Part 2 of "Dude, Where's My Horse" is one big CMOA.
10* The second half of "Rat Traps", with the gang, under Chuckie's leadership, going all ''Film/HomeAlone'' against a pair of robbers. Even Harold, who had tagged along with them as a SixthRanger (or ninth), gets a little SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome by using his skating abilities to recover the loot from the criminals.
11* "Coup Deville" where Lil is at a party at her friends' house after spending the whole episode trying to disassociate herself from Phil. The friends start joking about Phil and their jokes become more [[KickTheDog mean spirited]]. Lil finally realises her mistake and angrily tells her friends off, defending Phil and then storming out of the party. The episode then ends with us finding out she did go on vacation to Twins' Canyon with her family after all.
12--> "Great party. Thanks. Gotta go."
13* "Lucky 13" has the gang discover that Savannah [[KickTheDog deliberately sabotaged Angelica's birthday party]] [[ForTheEvulz because she felt like it]], so they come up with an elaborate plan to get her to cancel her own party so that everyone ends up going to Angelica's instead. When Savannah angrily shows up at the party, she tries to get the other kids to leave but they refuse to.
14* "The Old & the Restless" has Tommy defending his grandfather with a very memorable line. [[SincerityMode No, really.]]
15-->'''Tommy:''' You know what, Sean? My Grandpa may do embarrassing stuff, but he's still my Grandpa! ''SO SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!!''
16-->'''Sean:''' (''immediately backs off in complete shock'')
17** Also is a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
18** Speaking of "The Old & the Restless," there's the Human Body Museum, which also doubles as a theme park with organ-related rides, including an "Ear Canal" with gondolas, an animatronic skeleton comedian, a giant beating heart ([[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome which is closed for maintenance]]), and a "Spleen Scream" roller coaster. ''Any'' city would kill to have a museum of that caliber!
19** Lou also has a great comeback to Tommy telling him off for embarrassing him.
20--> "Old? Well excuse me for living!"
21* The climax of "R.V. Having Fun Yet?" has Didi decide she is going to make up her own damn mind about what to do with repairing her relationship with Tommy, about raising the kids, [[ItMakesSenseInContext and also about getting the kids to their location]] without looking to Lipshitz for guidance; For once, after about 11 years of being a Mother, she decides to use her own mind, heart, instincts, and the help of her friends without paying heed to the doctor who "knows more about being a Mommy than anybody".
22* "Bad Blood" has Grandpa Lou watch Tommy and Dil again... along with Boris. Things get hectic between the two grandparents, resulting in a fight and a battle to see which 'act' the 'Rats like better. This results in a few funny moments up until Dil reveals that he's stolen an alien autopsy tape. Tommy, of course, reacts negatively to the situation, which results in an argument and fight between the two brothers. The guy whom Dil has stolen the tape from comes to 'get' Tommy, because he's the 'older brother,' only for Lou and Boris to scare them off. This was not only a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, especially since we see neither of the grandparents that much in this series, but also a moment of Awesome, because they stood up for their grandsons.
23* In "River Rats", Tommy [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes is revealed to have a fear of being underwater]]. Despite being reassured by Chuckie that he doesn't think less of him, Tommy still is obviously uncomfortable. Then Phil trips and falls into the river and Chuckie freezes up. [[LetsGetDangerous After only a brief hesitation, Tommy leaps into action, diving in after Phil and even pushing through his fears when he ends up underwater.]] No fear gets in the way of Tommy Pickles helping his friends!
24** It honestly shows that, deep down, Tommy is still the same brave kid we've always known. He's just uncomfortable with revealing a weakness, even to his friends. But nothing is stopping him from helping his friends.
25* "Susie sings the Blues" may not show the con artist getting her comeuppance. But Alisa inadvertently gets Susie out of her [[HeroicBSOD blues over being scammed]] when she [[InnocentlyInsensitive downplays]] Susie's singing talent as a "great hobby". What Susie says in response just proves that despite being tricked, Susie's love for what she does can't be extinguished by some con artist's petty little scam, and no doubt she'll go further in life than said con artist.
26--> '''Susie:''' Singing isn't some knitting-needle-book-club I do in my spare time, ''it's who I am''! It's what I do! (Realizes to herself) ...and ''still'' do! And I'm not gonna let some Con-Artist in a fake designer jacket stop me.
27** There's also Kimi's RousingSpeech, where she tries to convince Susie not to give up on her dreams.
28---> "She took enough money for one serious shopping spree, but she didn't take your talent!"
29* The episode where Angelica is forced to live with Susie starts out as you expect, with her struggling to keep up. Once she hears Susie bet she wouldn't make it, she pulls a 180 not only keeping with the family, but even surpassing them at some points. Susie tries to make Angelica do unnecessary chores to make Angelica fail, only for Angelica to manage them as well. The only reason she didn't finish was that Susie's parents saw Angelica cleaning the rain gutters. Once Angelica explains everything, she gets Susie grounded for endangering Angelica's safety.
