3* In the Pilot, Hanson is on a sting. A drug dealer holds a gun to his head and accuses him of being a cop.
4-->'''Hanson:''' Then pull the trigger.
5* Hoffs holding two guns, after already being shot at, and calmly talking down a high school girl.
6--> I'm a better shot than you.
7* ''Draw the Line'': when Booker, who up until then is played as a bit of a jerk and is now hated by Doug for having arrested Hanson, is the one who takes action to clear Hanson's name: getting Hanson out of prison, and spending a whole day off work trying to solve the case, and in the end solving it - putting the real suspect away and freeing Hanson. It turns into more of a Tearjerker though when he is disciplined by the police force for acting against the rules when helping Hanson, and he then quits the police.
8* ''Orpheus 3.3'': Hanson's pulling himself out of the SanitySlippage he first seemed to go into after his girlfriend is murdered, and going to find and arrest the murderer.
9* Penhall adopting Clavo. After the TearJerker of his wife being deported, and then the even bigger TearJerker of his finding out she was murdered, he doesn't let this awful experience--and the NightmareFuel experience of his visit to El Salvador--get him down, but makes something good out of it by giving a young boy a better life. And bonus points for the new situation not just helping the boy, but also Penhall himself--being a father makes him mature greatly.
