Heartwarming / Veep

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

• In Season 2, Selina shows repeated concern for Amy's father's health and lets her leave work. Even Dan, in his sociopathic way, tries to express some empathy at the hospital.
• After everyone else's tacit disapproval of Selina refusing to forgive her horrible mother on her deathbed, Tom James finally tells her exactly what she needs to hear: "I hated my father."
• When Catherine comes out as a lesbian, Selina manages to tear herself away from all the other big things she's dealing with to say she's happy for her.
• From "Kissing Your Sister"
  • Seeing Bill Ericsson, normally a dour personality, greet Catherine with a genuinely friendly smile and a wave when she interviews him from prison.
  • The beginning of Catherine and Marjorie's relationship is incredibly sweet, with Marjorie hesitantly asking her out with her face offscreen. The next we see is them in bed together, Marjorie showing by far the most emotion we've ever seen from her as she playfully calls Catherine "Lesbo."
  • Selina tries to comfort Catherine when she breaks up with Marjorie. Key word being 'tries', but it's the thought that counts.
  • Selina is rocked by the House vote ending in a tie. She takes time out to recover in a room when a tour group enters, surprised to find her there. Selina puts on a smile to do some photos and clearly moved when the group applaud her. For just one moment, she truly feels loved.
• In "Inauguration", when news breaks that Montez will be President instead of Tom, denying Selina even the Vice-Presidency, Gary proves that his first and only loyalty is to Selina, as he roundly chews out the rest of the staff both for only caring how the news affects them, and for how awful they've been at supporting her over the years.
  "At least I cared! I did my job. I fucking cared."
  • Later, Selina drowning her sorrows with Richard, admitting that he was the best person on her staff and that she wished she's had more of him.
• In "Chicklet", the revelation that Selina's mother loved her after all, and that she allowed herself to take the blame for her husband's failings as a father if it meant Selina could preserve her fond memories of him.
• Marjorie asking Selina and Andrew for their blessing to marry Catherine, bluntly saying that despite being two of the worst people she’s ever met, they somehow created a perfect person.
• Richard becoming the donor for Marjorie and Catherine's child. Unlike with Dan, who was their original choice, Richard maintains an amicable relationship with them throughout the series and seems to be the only one on Selina's staff they are on friendly terms with.
• The Grand Finale:
  • Selina thanking Gary for everything he's done for her. Which makes it all the more heartbreaking when she frames him for the Meyer Fund. At least she can't bear to look him in the eye when he gets arrested...
    • Despite this, Gary's appearance at Selina's funeral makes it clear that that he holds no grudge against her for it.
  • When Ben gets hospitalized due to a heart attack, Selina tearfully confesses to him that she needs him because she doesn't know what to do. Considering what happens next, it really does show that Ben was her Morality Chain.
  • Despite ending on bad terms with all of them and not seeing most of them since she was elected, Selina's team and other co-workers still attend her funeral, not necessarily for PR. Even Andrew, who has revealed to been faking his death for the past two decades and a half, shows up. Undercut for Mike when he's told Tom Hanks died during the procession, so he stops before he can talk about his time working for Selina.
  • Kent is implied to have gotten married after the Time Skip, as he now has a grown-up daughter who works at NASA. Considering what happened to him and Sue and Julia, that's good for him.
  • Even Jonah gets one. As a condition of him accepting Selina's offer of Vice President, he makes sure that Richard gets a job in the future administration as Secretary of Agriculture. Jonah even specifically refers to Richard as his Best Friend. Ultimately, this seems to help lead to Richard becoming president a few years down the line.
  • Not to mention that Jonah seems to still be Happily Married to his step-sister. Throw the Dog a Bone?
  • In a sick and twisted way, an elderly Congressman Furlong caring for his assistant Will (despite years of insults and abuse), who has aged horribly and has become so senile that all he can say is "I like jizz." Furlong even laments that Will's mind is mush now and his forcing Will to say insulting things about himself has lost its magic.
  • Despite having their marriage overturned by Selina's new law, Catherine and Marjorie are still together in the future and Catherine seems to have been a much better parent to Little Richard than her own parents were to her, breaking her family's cycle of abuse.
  • The reveal that Kemi and Richard were both elected President following Selina and both did extremely well in the position, easily winning second terms and both seemingly destined to go down as two of the best in history. In a series with so many terrible politicians, it's immensely satisfying to see two of the only genuinely good characters thrive. The fact that all this is revealed as we learn Selina left behind almost no positive legacy as President and was easily defeated after one term despite all she did to gain power just makes it even better.
