1* [[spoiler: Leigh Anne turning off the football game to have a family Thanksgiving dinner around a dining table, and then the Tuohy children [[HoldingHands offering their hands]] to Michael when saying Grace.]]
2* [[spoiler: Leigh Anne reading ''Literature/TheStoryOfFerdinand'' to Michael and SJ, with Collins secretly listening in the hallway.]]
3* [[spoiler: Leigh Anne using the photo that included Michael for the Tuohys' Christmas cards.]]
4* Leigh Anne's assertion at her luncheon that it wasn't just that she changed Michael's life, but that [[MagicalNegro he changed hers]].
5* [[spoiler: Michael always [[EatingLunchAlone sits alone in study hall]], until Collins leaves her study table to sit with him instead.]]
6* [[spoiler: Michael [[BigBrotherInstinct instinctively saving SJ]] from being seriously injured or killed during their car accident.]]
7* Collins warming up to Michael, first when seeing him pushing two little girls on the swings, then leaving her friends to sit next to Michael in the library. She even nods enthusiastically when the Tuohy's say they want to make him a member of the family, smiling the whole time.
8* The picture at the end with the real Michael hugging his momma Leigh Anne.
9* Seriously, just any time Leigh Ann calls Michael her son and any time Michael reciprocates by calling her Mama.
10* "I... kind of thought I ''was'' [a part of the family]."
11* Michael going inside a restaurant, talking and hugging his brother. It really hits hard when you realize how little he gets to see his family.
12* Coach Cotton going full PapaWolf against the racist ref during the game. He's so pissed that ''Michael has to physically pull him away.''
13--> '''Cotton''': "This young man plays for my team, ''my team'', and I will defend him like [[AFatherToHisMen he's my own son!]] Against you or any other redneck son of a bitch!-"
