Heartwarming / Power Rangers Dino Fury

Episodes:

Episode 1: Destination Dinohenge

• Amelia and Ollie not hesitating to defend Solon from Void Knight.
• After learning about Zayto's past, Amelia and Ollie state that they're ready for training to help fight the Sporix.

Episode 2: Sporix Unleashed

• Even though his team is new to being Rangers, Zayto is patient with both Ollie and Amelia in this episode, complimenting them when they successfully sync with him during the Morphing Call and telling Solon that they fought very well. Even with the fact that they lost the Sporix Cell to Void Knight, he at no point berates them for that, just happy he has a team again.

Episode 4: New Recruits

• The pure joy in Javi and Izzy's voices from the moment they first morph until the end of the episode.
• How shocked and thrilled Zayto is about getting two new rangers for the team, especially since he thought that those powers had been lost with the rangers wielding them.
• While Warden Garcia has no clue where Javi could've gone, Izzy does, which shows that the step-siblings are pretty close.
  • Warden Garcia's biggest concern is that his son is all right. Izzy also mentions that he is very supportive of her getting into sports.
• Even though they're a blended family, it's clear that the Garcias regard each other as their real family. Izzy calls Warden Garcia "Dad" and only mentions in passing that he's her stepfather, and she and Javi have a sibling bond that is thicker than blood.

Episode 5: Winning Attitude

• Izzy's cousin Lily has CHARGE syndrome (just like the actress playing her), but the only time her disability is mentioned is when the humans explain what the Special Olympics are to Zayto. She's treated as a normal person by the Power Rangers and Izzy states that Lily is an amazing coach, makes great protein smoothies and even won a medal of her own!
• After being a jerk to her cousin Lily for not understanding her helping a friend by going shopping — said friend had her leg stuck in a cast and Lily was helping with grocery shopping — Izzy realizes how bad she was and apologizes with Lily instantly forgiving her.
• During the race, Izzy sees her chief rival trip on a branch and get injured. After being so intense in wanting to win this race, Izzy sacrifices her chance at victory to help the girl out. This becomes even more heartwarming in later episodes when Izzy and said rival, Fern, eventually end up as a couple.
• Warden Garcia is far more proud of Izzy showing such sportsmanship and warmth in her loss than he ever would with her winning.

Episode 6: Superstition Strikes

• Amelia is down in the dumps because her bad luck caused her to lose her damaged Morpher, and accidentally injured Izzy and Javi. Fortunately, Solon gives her a good lesson about positive thinking to change her luck around, and that helps Amelia regain her confidence and be the one to save the day.

Episode 7: Stego Search

• At the end of the episode, the Rangers chip in and buy Javi a new keytar to replace the one his father confiscated earlier.

Episode 8: Unexpected Guest

• We find out that the Morphin Masters were Benevolent Precursors, not only creating the Dino Gems, Energems and the Ninja Nexus Prism, but watching over the teams. This is obviously retroactive Heartwarmings for other series as they might have had a hand at resurrecting Steel and Kendrix!
• It's revealed Void Knight is collecting Sporix to somehow revive a woman he calls his love, promising it won't be long until they're together again. You heard that right, he ain't gonna conquer the world. He just wants to revive his lover, nothing more, nothing less.

Episode 9: Cut Off

• Though they're initially dismissive of Ollie's plan, once they realize that he's almost figured out a way to turn all his glamping gadgets into a giant crossbow to take out the signal-jamming balloon, they immediately help him upgrade it again and take it out. It's also a nice mirror to last time he tried helping with a gadget, because this time it works.

Episode 10: Phoning Home

• Solon's attitude towards Zayto the whole episode - trying to make him food from Rafkon, consoling him when he realizes Slyther's deception, and helping him send out multiple messages for any survivors.

Episode 11: McScary Manor

• Pop-Pop tells the pink ranger that he promised to raise Amelia if anything happened to her parents, not realizing that he's talking to her.

Episode 12: Super Hotshot

• Fern (the rival from Episode 5) interacting with Izzy and thanking for taking the time to help her out.
• The other rangers pooling their money together so Izzy can buy a new uniform and keep going to her new gym.
  • Though it takes a downturn when Izzy realizes that Coach Bella is basically using the gym to leech money off of her clientele, Izzy immediately uses the money to buy back Adrian's watch (a gift from his grandfather which he traded off for exchange of the coat) instead.

Episode 13: The Matchmaker

• Izzy forgives her brother for trying to set her up with Adrien, understanding that he had good intentions for it.
  • The ending has Izzy going on a date with Fern complete with Holding Hands, making her the first LGBTQ Power Ranger in the TV show^note The Boom Studio comics and the movie both had a lesbian Ranger prior to this. Even better is that the other rangers aren't surprised — especially Zayto who would have every right to question this — but instead are smiling and so supportive of the relationship!
  Amelia: (gasping and squeeing in delight) Look at them!
• Even Adrien, the one Javi assumed was the person his sister has a crush on, doesn't have any hard feelings. In fact he's the one who points out to Javi about Izzy and Fern together.
• Even when Javi was trying to "push" Fern away from his sister, he respects her when she states that she wasn't dating guys at the moment.

Episode 14: Old Foes

• Solon acting adorable by hiding her face with her claws so she can be surprised at all the costumes.
• Ollie admits that he is scared of something; losing his friends. The other rangers console him with a Group Hug. Awww....

Episode 16: Ancient History

• Even though everyone else is mad that Zayto did not tell them that Rafkon created the Sporix and he was responsible for the destruction of his planet, Solon still sticks by him as she sympathizes with him. She even gives him good advice on what he can do to improve as a leader when Zayto begins to doubt himself.
• After alls said and done, Aiyon and Zayto become friends again and end the episode doing a friendly spar like they always did as the other Rangers watch. The other Rangers also have big smiles on their faces, showing that there's no hard feelings about Zayto's secret.

Episode 18: Crossed Wires

• The beginning of the episode has Izzy calling Fern her "girlfriend" on screen and giving her a kiss on the cheek (a cheek-to-cheek kiss, but still!). If there were any doubts from episode 13 that Izzy and Fern were just friends, this throws it out the window.
• The episode's Aesop is all about how some people learn better through hands-on than books, which received a lot of praise from viewers.

Episode 21: Void Trap

• Dr. Akana stating how proud she is of her son being a Power Ranger.
• Ollie apologizes to Zayto for doubting his judgement on trusting his mom to help them.
• Solon arriving to congratulate everyone on stopping Void Knight.
• The Green Morphing Master arrives and restores Dinohenge and the Dino Fury rangers' connections to the Power Grid.

Episode 22: Secret Santa

• Javi getting advice from the real Santa Claus on what he should give his friends for Christmas. Santa even notes that the best gift he ever got was from Mrs. Claus giving him some gloves.
• The sight of the Rangers having a Christmas tree with Javi topping it with a star ornament^note Which gets somewhat mitigated as it's a bomb from Slyther and Mucus. And then Amelia arrives with Christmas Cards for the Rangers!
• The Secret Santa gifts (minus Aiyon's gift for Amelia being a sander) are all kinds of heartwarming: Ollie gives Izzy an electronic kit, Izzy got Zayto a custom-made jacket with "Izzy's Gym" on the back, Amelia repaired Ollie's ghost hoodie, and Zayto made homemade ice cream for Aiyon.
  • Javi's gift for Solon is his old Christmas songbook since she gets stage fright and forgets the lyrics to songs. The episode even ends with everyone, and Santa, singing "Jingle Bells".
  • Zayto's gift is especially heartwarming because he recreated a flavor from his and Aiyon's home planet, making that ice cream one of the few tangible links they have to their home.

Episode 27: Stitched Up

• The entire episode is nothing but heartwarming fuzzy feelings as Izzy and Fern are heading off for prom. Both of them are flustered at how they wanted to be the one to ask the other out.
• Warden Garcia is so happy and proud of his daughter and even takes photos of her and Fern together.
• Izzy's mom being nothing but supportive of Izzy's relationship. When it looks like she's totally misunderstood her daughter in a stock "TV parent misunderstands their child" moment, it turns out she hadn't; the dress was for Fern, while Izzy got the tux that she asked for. Not to mention that she never got mad after Izzy accidentally causes the dress she made to get ruined, understanding that Izzy still has some hang-ups from how her mother treated her when she was younger. Not only do they patch things up, they work together to make a new dress for Fern.
• The end of the episode reveals that Javi rented a limo for his little sister and the other Power Rangers are going to accompany her and Fern!

The two then share a hug.
• Ollie even agrees to tag along with her on her next ghost hunt, to which she reveals she had already gotten him a snare gun.

• Ollie bought a card and flowers to give Amelia, wanting to ask her to be his Valentine. While he doesn't end up giving the card to her himself, Amelia is given the card by J-Borg.

• Subtle moment, but as the team make their way to Mucus's stand, Amelia can be seen with her arms wrapped around Ollie's arm, a little reminder that the two are now a couple. Later, when the spells are broken, Ollie lifts her off the ground and spins as he hugs her.

Until she realizes that Izzy is the Green Dino Fury Ranger and heard her love confession. The two reconcile and Fern vows to keep Izzy's secret identity safe.
  Fern: Promise we'll keep supporting each other's decisions no matter what?
