to:

* The fact Angel is sympathetic to Darla at all is pretty heartwarming. It would be easy to understand if he blamed her for everything he had been put through since being turned but instead he sympathizes and understands that she was also a victim of circumstances beyond her control.

* Cordy's pretty down on the idea of letting Angel earn back their trust, and then she has a vision. She comes out of it and wonders why she isn't on the floor, then sees that Angel caught her before she could fall, thanks to his vamp speed.

* At the end, Cordelia assures Angel that he is not Angelus, saying that the message she just got via a vision is for ''him'', not Angelus. She also tells him she'll kill him if he ever turns, and he genuinely thanks her.

* A small moment. But when Cordelia has her breakdown in the middle of her audition, the casting people are very nice about it; in contrast to the HorribleHollywood portrayal we usually see in the series, they seem to recognise that she's had a difficult time and is trying to continue working, and treat her gently.

* The team has just been thoroughly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] by the Beast. Fire is raining down from the sky. The world is coming to pieces around them. And Wesley, just as badly beaten as everyone else, gets up and pushes his way through the destruction to find the injured Gunn, pulls him to safety, and holds onto him for dear life, keeping him safe in the middle of all the chaos. Gunn, his former-friend-turned-romantic-rival. Gunn who can’t stand him anymore. Gunn who would be just as happy if Wesley had stayed away from the team for good. Even after all that, Wesley still cares enough to look out for him and make sure he's protected.

He called, they came. They never rejected him, he was never not a hero. They took him home when he finally, like them, died a hero's death.
