* Another Deanna moment where she GrewASpine: When Michael tries to use his writing to get out of eating dinner with her, the kids and her parents, she puts her foot down and ''demands'' he stop his work and join them. And he does. Granted, he’s visibly unhappy about it and she eventually lets him leave, but it’s better than her usual ExtremeDoormat behavior.

In her biography, Cadence cutting ties with her mother for siding with her sexual predator boyfriend and staying away from Milborough is this. Especially since the strip’s message is sticking with your family and hometown at all costs.

He then leaves for Hockey Practice, sans skates so Elizabeth runs them to him... and finds out he's not there and he's been bringing Tina to practice. She goes to Tina's apartment to confront them.. and it turns out Tina had no idea they were in a relationship, causing both to blow up at him:

* Farley's HeroicSacrifice. An aging dog, risking his life (and dying) to save April is nothing short of amazing.

* Farley's HeroicSacrifice. An aging dog, risking his life (and dying) to save April is nothing short of amazing. Even better, it was his ''first'' instinct as soon as April fell in and went under the currents. He jumps in, grabs her hoodie, and keeps treading water to make sure they both can breathe.
* Edgar also gets one. He runs home, barking frantically at Elly and John, refusing to come inside until they follow him. If not for Edgar, April and Farley might have either drowned or succumbed to hypothermia.


Added DiffLines:

* One for April and Moira; April finds out that the new employee Kortney is visiting adult chatrooms during work. When Kortney threatens to knock her teeth out, April tells Grandpa Jim and her mother, calling out the latter for being in denial. Moira takes April's side and warns Kortney that if she doesn't shape up, she'll be out of time soon. Kortney appropriately goes OhCrap.
* A few months later, Moira doesn't believe Kortney when the latter claims that missing inventory was donated to a local church or sold. She teams up with April to verify the checks' authenticity and learns they were forged. The police also find out that Kortney allowed her boyfriend to steal model trains from the store. After this, Moira takes the initiative to fire Kortney on the grounds of fraud, theft, and lying while Elly is on vacation. April gives Elly a sad IToldYouSo about it.
