1* In "Scratch", one of the most heartfelt scenes takes place between Melissa and Jackson:
2-->'''Melissa:''' Listen to me! Whatever happened back home doesn't matter!\
3'''Jackson:''' Yes it does. ''(tearful)'' Don't you see? [[TroubledButCute Whether I like it or not, it follows me...]]You wanna know what happened? I walk home, to my own neighborhood, to tell them about this...this amazing adventure to the South Seas I was going on. And yeah, yeah, I was braggin'. Y'know, I just wanted them to know that I was doing something ''worthwhile'' for a change.\
4'''Melissa:''' What's wrong with that?\
5'''Jackson:''' They said that I changed. That I was throwing in their faces that suddenly I was better then them. I thought I was talking to people who actually cared...\
6'''Melissa:''' So what happened?\
7'''Jackson:''' One guy stood up to me. One guy. He got shoved, and a fight broke out. I tried to break it up but someone pulled a knife and....\
8'''Melissa:''' ''(StunnedSilence)''\
9'''Jackson:''' ...he got hurt. Perfect, huh?\
10'''Melissa:''' Was he okay?\
11'''Jackson:''' Yeah. But now the cops are after me.\
12'''Melissa:''' But if it wasn't your fault-!\
13'''Jackson:''' [[TearJerker It doesn't matter]]. I was there. I wasn't supposed to be...and someone got hurt. Strike three. ''(chokes up)'' Where am I supposed to go now?!\
14''[Melissa hugs Jackson]''\
15'''Melissa:''' You're already there. [[TrueCompanions Without you we'd be lost]].
16* When Eric ends up collapsing due to [[PlotAllergy succumbing to the shellfish allergy no one realized he had]], Melissa is genuinely upset when she figures out what's wrong and the entire crew is truly relieved when it turns out she got the epi-pen into him just in time.
17* After Eric lost the trust of everyone after breaking their only lighter, to the point where Daley flat out tells him she doesn't care what he does, Nathan gets his foot caught under the plane wreckage that swept back up to shore after the storm took it. Eric was the only one near him and stays with him during the entire time until everyone else arrived. He kept him in safe hands and didn't let him lose his cool, giving him some much-needed comfort. This in turn earned back the trust he lost.
18* During "Hotel Tango", when the kids are exploring the titular WWII base, they are frightened by an unknown sound while inside the building (made by the unstable pilot) and Melissa's immediate reaction is to run to Jackson's side for safety. When they are surprised again and flee from the building, there's a FreezeFrameBonus where Jackson grabs Melissa's hand to make sure she's right behind him.
19* Another cute moment during "Hotel Tango" is when Jackson and Melissa are gathering coconuts together, and at one point Jackson plays with one before handing to Melissa with a more light-hearted smile than he's shown around anyone the entire series.
