3* The Argonauts defeat the harpies and free Phineas from his punishment. The last time we see Phineas, he's feeding the captive harpies scraps and about to tuck into a marvellous banquet, rubbing his hands in sheer joy.
4* Hera coming to Jason's defense when Zeus gets angry over Jason's comment about the god's watching mortals merely for entertainment.
5--> '''Zeus''': Jason goes too far.
6--> '''Hera''': Because he speaks the truth when the gods themselves go too far?
7* Jason saving Medea's life after she'd been struck down by an arrow, thanks to the powers of the Golden Fleece.

11* Hercules's EstablishingCharacterMoment, where he demonstrates his strength by pushing the Argo into the water. He gives a RousingSpeech about how he'll follow Jason to the end of the world, and the remaining Argonauts begin cheering.
12* Just before the Argo sails, Zetes runs to join the voyage, and there's this sweet exchange between him and Jason.
13--> '''Zetes:''' [[MeaningfulEcho To the end of the world?]]
14--> '''Jason:''' What does your father say?
15--> '''Zetes:''' I haven't told him.
16--> ''Jason grins cheekily and lets him on''.
17** And in fact, when the Argo returns to Iolcus, Idas is waiting for them. Rather than being angry, he's full of pride at what a hero his son has been.
18* Although initially alarmed at Atalanta jumping on board, the men ultimately treat her with respect and as an equal. There's even a cute scene of Zetes using his sight to find fish for her to catch with her arrows.
19* Orpheus tells Atalanta about his lost love Eurydice. Afterwards a white dove descends next to him, possibly implied to be divinely sent. He befriends the dove, who is later used to test that the Clashing Rocks will let them pass. Once they safely pass through, Orpheus sees feathers in the water and despairs that the dove may have been killed by the rocks...but then it lands next to him.
20* Actor initially is an AbhorrentAdmirer to Atalanta, and she's annoyed by his MotorMouth tendencies. Then he cheers her up by having caught some feathers for her to use for arrows. She's pleasantly pleased by the gesture.
21** In fact, his whole attraction to her can be quite sweet if you think about it. She pines for Jason, who only sees her as a friend, and he [[InnocentlyInsensitive accidentally insults her]] by saying he views her as a brother. Actor however falls for her and is attracted to her just as she is.
22* The Argonauts are told that Jason will be staying in Colchis to marry Medea, and that they should sail home. Although some think they should, it's put to the vote. While it seems that they are sailing away without him the next day, it turns out they all voted to stay.
23* Although Hercules dies in the flight from Colchis, his body vanishes from Jason's arms, and Jason later sees him in a constellation in the stars.
24** And although saddened by the news of his mother's death, Polymele's spirit appears before him to reassure him [[SoProudOfYou how proud she is of him]].
25** And she appears through Hera's statue. Only Hera could have allowed that to happen. She wanted Jason to get a chance to say goodbye to his mother.
26* Hera and Zeus watch Jason and Medea's kiss, after Zeus has pulled out Eros's arrow, meaning Medea still loves Jason under her own influence. Hera says "they put us to shame", and [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther reconciles with her husband]].
27* Before confronting Pelias in the end, Jason gives the rest of the Argonauts the chance to leave and stay out of the fight, since their quest is technically over and they don't have to follow him anymore. Each of them stay. He then looks to Mopsus, who has been a surrogate father to him on the quest, and he responds "need you ask?"
28* This Jason does not jilt Medea as soon as he gets home. They are HappilyMarried and plan to rule over Iolcus as benevolent monarchs.
