Line #20 Heartwarming/PowerRangersDinoThunder


1	* In "Lost and Found in Translation" the Dino Thunder Rangers sit down to watch a dubbed episode from their Japanese counterpart Abaranger and admit at the end that it's a ''really'' good show. It's one of the very few times Power Rangers has recognized its Japanese origins in-show and it's used to basically shake hands with the Japanese team.
2	* The end of "Legacy of Power", the series' 500th episode and a ClipShow framed around a video of the history of the Power Rangers to that point, playing while the current Rangers are trying to find Tommy (who's been kidnapped by the BigBad.) The scene ends with this:
3	-->'''Tommy (on video)''': If anything should happen to me, these three (shots of Conner, Ethan and Kira) are charged with protecting the planet.
4	-->'''Kira''': That's us!
5	-->'''Tommy''': You're in good hands. (video ends)
6	-->'''Conner''': He really trusts us.
7	-->'''Hayley''': He does.
8	-->'''Ethan''': We're gonna have to save him. We owe it to him.
9	-->'''Kira''': The whole world owes him.
10	* The end of "Diva in Distress." Kira and Kylee repair their friendship and sing a song they wrote together.
11	* In "Burning At Both Ends", Tommy expresses sympathy for [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Trent's plight]] [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers having been]] [[Series/PowerRangersZeo in his shoes before]]. He even says that he never would have become the hero we know today if not for his friends' refusal to abandon him.
12	* Trent and Anton's parental relationship. Their relationship may be strained most of the season, because of Mesogog, but thanks to the Rangers and some CharacterDevelopment, they have some AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moments. The fact that Trent has already been referring to Anton Mercer as "Dad" since Mercer's first appearance is proof of this. Had it not been brought up how Trent came into Anton's care, you'd not known they weren't father and son by blood.
13	** Even their strained aspects take on a new light after TheReveal Anton is forced to share a body with Mesogog. Anton disapproving of Trent's artistic pursuits and wanting him to go into business like him makes a lot more sense when you consider Anton knew he was losing the mental battle with his dark counterpart. Should anything happen to him, he wanted to ensure his son was well settled and could inherit his business empire.
14	* Tommy's encounters with all his past Ranger forms in ("Fighting Spirit"), that and CMOA.
15	* After the Ninja rangers powers burn out after their fight with the dino rangers, both teams affirm each other. That the world is in good hands, and that the ninja rangers don't have to step up with them around.
16	* After the 100-year-old tree [[SoapboxSadie Krista]] was trying to protect is destroyed, Conner helps her plant a new one.
17	* In "Bully for Ethan," while looking through items in the lab, Tommy comes across a group photo of the original MMPR team.
18	* Cassidy, the IntrepidReporter she is, managed to get (with Devin) footage of the Rangers morphing. This is the tape that could make her career... And she hands it off to the Rangers with a smile, choosing to protect her friends over stepping on them.
19	* The Cassidy/Ethan fling - they seem like polar opposites, but when they're paired up by a dating site, they actually try it out, rather than simply ignore the results. It doesn't stick, but it's nice to see that they were willing to try. Even better is that when Kira finds out Ethan has been talking to Cassidy, his first response is to ask Kira to give Cassidy a chance at being friends.
20	** When their picnic date starts to flounder, an invisible Tommy helps out by relighting the candles set up and handing Ethan a bouquet of flowers.
21	* The end of the year prom is full of heartwarming stuff.
22	** Haley takes the time to thank Cassidy for sacrificing her internship for the sake of the rangers.
23	** Conner ended up picking Krista for prom after all his lists, saying that "it's what on the inside that counts."
24	** Ethan ended up inviting a fellow geek he met at an activity as his date.
25	** Trent is transferring to Art School, and Anton fully supports it.
26	** Tommy is looking forward to returning next year to a quiet life. Even when Elsa teases him about her return as a good principal this time.
27	** And to close out the year, Kira gets to perform the going away song.
