** On the same note, despite her extremely limited screentime owing to her new status as the Winter Lady and how much backlog she's having to clear up, Molly is completely in Harry's corner: chewing out [[ManipulativeBitch Mab]] for deliberately keeping them separated and out of contact for six months, vowing to help remove the parasite from Harry's head as soon as she's able (and making good on her word at the end), and trusting that he knows what he's doing with Nicodemus and company.

* Hade's vault, in an odd way. He uses pure gold bars to construct frames and niches for his collection of art, and uses diamonds and gems as ''fountains'' to give accents. Unimaginable wealth. Because the God of Wealth considers the art - mortal creations at that - to be the real treasure.

* An odd example, but it makes sense when you think about it. Molly mentions that the Winter Fae have been attacking her mentally while she's dreaming. Seems to be cruel, until you remember that the Fae are big believers in, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." There's a lot of nasty things that would and could harm an inexperienced Winter Lady (including Nemesis, among others), and Molly's court is making sure she's strong enough to handle it. Attacking her is their roundabout way of saying they like her, and she has their support.

Molly herself seems to realize it as well, comparing it to how her little siblings would team up on her while she was babysitting.



* Michael offering redemption to Nicodemus -- ''Nicodemus'', of all people. The man who willingly allowed himself to be possessed by a FallenAngel. The man who has killed countless Knights of the Cross, including one of Michael's friends. The man ultimately responsible for ''crippling'' him. Michael genuinely offers a chance of redemption to Nicodemus, not just out of duty, but genuine love for a man who he sees in terrible pain -- and he calls Nicodemus his brother and means it.

* Uriel loaning his Grace to Michael is possibly the biggest show of faith in the series so far. He had faith that Michael would use it appropriately, faith that Harry and Michael would make it ''worth'' risking death, or Falling. And it paid off.
** Uriel's reason for loaning Michael his grace in the first place isn't to help Michael fight again or to secure the Holy Grail. It's to save the souls of Nicodemus' squires. He risked ''falling'' just to have the chance of redeeming a group of people who made a couple of bad choices.
** Perhaps not the standard sort of heartwarming, but Michael's argument with Uriel about the loan certainly seems to show what a good man he is. At first Micheal want's to give back the loan immediately, and is quite adamant about it. When Uriel says the loan is to save a soul Michael is done arguing. The possibility of saving just one soul is more important to Michael then the numerous arguments he had just moments earlier; even if he didn't know anything about how or what soul might be saved.

* In a moment that is touching to everyone moved by [[HeroicSacrifice selfless love]] and especially to those of religious faith, Michael's willingness to deliberately leave the protection of his angel-guarded property and surrender himself into the hands of Nicodemus to spare Karrin and Harry's lives, despite knowing, as Uriel put it, Nicodemus would be "free to inflict upon [him] such pain as even [he] could not imagine." Michael knows this, but is prepared to sacrifice himself because both Karrin and Harry would do the same for him, and because he's "not the Carpenter who set the standard."

* When Michael is preparing to sacrifice himself for Harry and Murphy, Uriel appears to try and talk Michael out of it. Uriel clearly has nothing but respect for Michael, and does not want to see him suffer. But when Michael calls Uriel "my friend", those words affect Uriel so profoundly that the Archangel of the Lord rocks backwards like he'd been struck physically. It's very possible that Michael is the first being to ever consider and call Uriel a friend. That makes this and their other interactions all the more heartwarming.

* Gray at the end. He turns down his fifth of the diamonds, insisting that he merely needs to settle his debt with Harry. His price? A dollar. He basically did the whole thing ''pro bono'', turning down millions.
** The best part is that Harry didn't know how much Gray would charge him until the very end. Shows that, While Grey has done some ''terrible'' things, he might not be a terrible ''person.''

* In what is possibly the ''oddest'' one of these in the series, when they need a live sacrifice to get through the Gate of Blood, none other than Deirdre willingly goes beneath her father's knife. And it's clear that this hurts them both horribly, in what is one of the few times anyone of them shows honest and genuine emotion.

** That ''entire scene'', from the moment Maggie and Harry lay eyes on each other. Maggie is adorable, (Seriously, she likes ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'') and it's also funny seeing Harry not quite be sure how seriously to take things that she says.
** "Do you want to be my Dad?" possibly the Crowning example for the entire series. ''And nothing bad happens to either of them later!''
