1* The WordOfGod given around the time of ''[[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Operation Overdrive]]'' that the reason Rita and Zedd were PutOnABus was because they were taking maternity/paternity leave and wanted to spend as much time as possible with their son.
2* “Shift Into Turbo Part 1” has Justin offer to give Rocky his spot as the Blue Power Ranger back upon learning Rocky has recovered from his back injury. This is already heartwarming, but it gets even sweeter when Rocky declines the offer, trusting that the Powers are in good hands with Justin.
3* When Bulk and Skull's invisibility wears off at the end of "Stitch Witchery", Lt. Stone is overjoyed to see them again. Sometimes Bulk and Skull did drive him nuts with their incompetence; but in spite of everything, he seems to have developed paternal instincts towards the two.
4* TJ and Cassie have a cute meeting in their debut episode, with him asking her not to sing out loud rather politely before they discuss their respective dreams in a genuinely earnest and interested way. Then he leaves their bus when Kat is in trouble and, after a BaitAndSwitch moment, Cassie stays behind when the bus has to go rather than leave them alone.
5* A rare Fridge example of this: packages are being stolen from Bulk and Skull's new delivery job, and they're worried they're going to get blamed for it. T.J. instantly comes to their defense and offers to help them do a stake-out to find the real thieves (which it turns out are connected to Divatox). T.J., mind you, has only known Bulk and Skull post-CharacterDevelopment. He knows they're good enough guys that they'd never do such a bad thing, and it turns out by ''In Space'' that he's right.
6** Bulk and Skull know no one will believe their claims that aliens took the packages. When the two are about to be arrested, the Rangers teleport in morphed and vouch for them.
7--->'''T.J.:''' These two should be thanked. They're the ones who helped discover the thieves. Divatox stole the packages and, unfortunately, this is all that's left. Mr. Bulkmeier, you're a very brave man; as are you, Mr. Skullovitch. Thank you very much for your sacrifice. May the power protect you both.
8** When it's all over, Bulk tells Cassie and Ashley that T.J. is a-okay in his book. Cassie says T.J. said the same about him and Skull. Bulk is so touched that he gives T.J. a bear hug.
9* Another Fridge example: General Norquist, the commander of the NASADA shuttle mission. He hears out a pre-teen boy, who looks like he just came from a war zone (which he actually was), who asks for use of their space shuttle, just because he says the Power Rangers need it to go to Eltar. He's got no reason to believe the kid, or that the people who boarded the shuttle are the actual Rangers. However, it shows how esteemed the Rangers are that he unquestioningly acquiesces to the kid's request to let him and his friends have access to their expensive equipment and resources. Of course, as [[WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers Linkara]] posited, Norquist's instant facilitation suggests that that was the shuttle's purpose all along, and, given later instances of NASADA property being closely tied to the Rangers' activities, it's possible that Norquist and NASADA have close ties to, or at least had been contacted by Zordon. Still, even with that, the fact that Norquist dropped everything at the apparent request of the Power Rangers, with no evidence (other than the communicator) to prove that they are so, shows how esteemed they are.
10** And regardless, by believing his Justin's word, Norquist bought the universe an astronomical amount of time and one last fighting chance against the United Alliance of Evil. To think, if he refused Justin, and his teammates never made it off Earth, imagine how much faster Andros and his loner tendencies would have been beaten[[note]]considering the six Space Rangers were already constantly struggling and on defense as they were the entire season[[/note]], and thus he'd never have made it to Zordon for the latter to perform his HeroicSacrifice. Norquist only appeared in less than one episode, but [[SmallRoleBigImpact short role was by no means small]].
