1* While Sally is in the hospital, Jack reads ''Literature/TheCatInTheHat'' to her.
2* In a more PapaWolf manner of heartwarming, the scene where Jack confront Paddy O'Neill in the pub. It doesn't matter that he's in a crowded pub full of Irish republican sympathizers who would side with Kevin rather than Jack. His daughter is lying in a hospital bed without her spleen thanks to Sean Miller. Jack Ryan will not stop when his family is threatened, because that's to Jack Ryan exactly what a father and husband is supposed to do.
3* Even the villain Sean Miller has one such moment, when he gives his younger brother Paddy a reassuring smile before the attack on Lord Holmes, despite his evil nature he does love his brother dearly. It gets paired with {{Tearjerker}} when the attack is over and in the midst of the chaos, the only thing he has to say is plead with the police, "Help the boy." His reaction upon realizing that he's dead is pure anguish.
4* Jack gives his best analysis of where Miller is located, saying that he's not completely sure, which leads to this:
5-->'''Greer:''' Name me one thing in the world that's 100% sure, Jack.\
6'''Jack:''' My daughter's love.
