     Season Two 

Grotesque

  • Sofia, one of house maid for the Abigail family, helps Nick by giving him food and water despite the trouble his family caused at the Abigail compound.

    Season Three 

     Season Five 
  • Dwight and Morgan's reunion. While they weren't seen interacting much in the original show, they're still clearly happy to see each other. Morgan in particular looks almost ready to give Dwight a hug, and when the latter starts apologizing for his actions with the Saviors, Morgan assures him that "we're all trying to start over." Over the course of the next season, Dwight becomes visibly more comfortable and hopeful as he works with Morgan's group, going from Punch-Clock Villain to Jerkass Woobie until finally showing that he's a genuine Nice Guy.

     Season Six 
  • Dwight and Sherry's reunion. Dwight had been spending years at this point trying to find her, and was beginning to give up hope. But the second he hears his wife's voice over the radio, his voice begins to noticeably tear up, and he runs out into the street, where he finally reunites with her.

     Season Eight 
Iron Tiger
  • Strand is doing absolutely everything in his power to be there for Madison, never leaving her side, providing her with oxygen and monitoring her well-being after the presumed loss of Alicia.
  • Daniel is elated to see Luciana again after several years and affectionately calls her mija, and Luciana reveals that he's only alive because she convinced PADRE to spare and exile him in exchange for her services.
  • Even though they've just lost Charlie, Luciana finally embraces Daniel as her adopted father figure after spending years apart from him and after they pretty much parted on bad terms shortly before they fled into the Gulf of Mexico.

The Road Ahead

  • Alicia finally returns and reunites with her mother after about a decade of thinking she was dead, and Madison finally confirms her daughter is alive after Troy and Russell's lies that they had killed her.
  • Though messed up given how much grief it caused, the reveal that Troy only lied that Tracy was Alicia's daughter knowing it would earn her Madison's Mama Bear protection is a nice final gesture from Troy to get any sort of assurance his daughter would be protected after his death.
    • Madison generally flips on a dime once she's told Tracy is Alicia's daughter and by extension her granddaughter, doing everything she can to protect her due to now fully seeing her as her responsibility.
  • In the aftermath of the fall of the island, everybody gets a happy ending.
    • Everyone recognizes the good Madison was capable of and rename PADRE to "MADRE" in honor of her apparent sacrifice.
    • Luciana resumes her position as leader of the network of do-gooders she was trying to protect all season, aided by Daniel, her adoptive father. Now with the best of both PADRE and Morgan in her, she really can do good all across the country.
    • June more or less adopts Odessa, finally getting a child that she was denied in the past. Taking her to John's cabin back out west also means in a way she gets the family with John she never got to have. Odessa finally gets a mother who she accepts, in contrast to the woman from Daniel's militia who came on too strong when she mistook her for her daughter.
    • Dwight and Sherry fully rekindle their marriage and decide to return to the Sanctuary to repopulate it as a proper safe-zone for MADRE, starting with any remaining parents who want to be reunited with their children that PADRE took from them. This also means Dwight is ready to return to the Coalition's territory, and opens the door to possibly reconcile with Daryl since he finally has made it right after all these years.
    • Strand and Daniel reconcile, admitting that while they're just too at odds to fully live together, they can still be allies if it comes down to it. Strand recognizes why Daniel hates him so much, and Daniel admits Strand has a point about it. The two men part ways peacefully and wishing each other the best.
    • Strand has also fully reconciled with Luciana, affectionally calling her "my love" in Spanish and saying goodbye.
    • Strand ultimately gets to leave with Frank and Klaus to start a new life together, having atoned for his past misdeeds and earned the group's forgiveness. But he gets to see Madison, Alicia, and Tracy in his rear-view mirror, and is overjoyed to learn that they are all alive and well and reunited. It gives him the last push of peace to move on with his life - "onward", as he puts it.
    • Madison and Alicia, with Tracy in tow, decide to return home to Los Angeles to start a new life and settlement there and get to ride off into the sunset together.
