Heartwarming / 11/22/63

• In the series, after Johnny has been killed and Sadie has been taken to hospital, a cop insists to Jake that he has to take a statement, even though Jake is traumatized and distraught. Jake has just been made to resign from his teaching job, after Deke Simmons has heard from Sadie that he has surveillance equipment in his basement. Then Simmons turns up, tells the cop that he remembers him from his high school football days, puts a comforting arm around Jake and walks him to a car to get him to the hospital.
• Followed by another one in the hospital, where the cop finally does succeed in taking Jake's statement. Jake tells the truth, except that he makes out that it was he rather than Sadie who shot Johnny. Then he tells the cop that if he has to arrest him, so be it. The cop simply says "No need," closes his notebook and walks away.
• In the pilot, Jake attends a speech by then-candidate John F. Kennedy and is clearly moved by seeing a man he's only read about in history books live and in person.
• In the book, Jake's encounter with Richie and Beverly from It, who are teaching each other dance steps and let him join them.
• In the ending of both the book and TV series, Jake travels to Texas to reunite with Sadie who is being honored for her work as Texas Woman of the Year. Due to Jake's fixing of the timeline, the now-elderly Sadie has no memory of their life together. Nevertheless, Sadie vaguely recognizes Jake when they meet. The story ends with Jake and Sadie sharing a bittersweet yet heartwarming dance together at the school reunion.
  Jake: "I'm so happy that you're here."
  Sadie: "I could swear... I do know you. Who are you?"
  Jake: "Someone you knew in another life."
  [Jake and Sadie share a laugh and smile together as they dance the night away.]
• In the timeline where the assassination is thwarted, Kennedy reacts to the sound of gunfire by covering Jackie with his own body. Though the real Kennedy was something of a philanderer, it's nice to think that he would at least protect his wife in a perilous situation.
