- Hansen taking a risk on his former rival Nash, who had just demonstrated that he's still not entirely mentally stable. Even when John has a very public breakdown, he grabs him and helps calm him down and keeps him on.
- After his breakdown, Nash seriously considers going back to the mental hospital (which completely derailed his life and career) and Alicia encourages him to try again. It becomes a turning point for him, where Nash's resolve solidifies and he literally walks away from his delusions.
- Nash receiving the pens while having tea in the Princeton staff lounge. Also a Tear Jerker, but in a good way.
