"What can I say? I have a feeling you and I are going to be best friends."
  • The Butcher letting the little girl keep his cat in "Meat With A Side of Cute".
  • WordGirl getting sidetracked spending time with Tobey while looking for the "lost" remote in "Have You Seen the Remote?". As always, Tobey manages to screw it up, but seeing them treat each other like normal kids and as friends is very cute.
  • "Where's Huggy?":
    • WordGirl gives a speech about how much she missed her best friend and sidekick. Also counts as a Tear Jerker since Huggy (as Bob) and The Butcher cry after it.
    • Not to mention WordGirl and CHF hugging for the first time in the series.
  • In "The Young and the Meatless", The Butcher treats Dupey like a real person and not just one of Lady Redundant Woman's copies. Later, he's easily able to tell them apart even though they look identical.
  • The Butcher making peace with his father and playing catch with him in "Meat My Dad".
  • The episode "Lady Redundant Woman Gets the Blues". Royal Dandy calling Lady Redundant Woman his "mum". Also a Tear Jerker since she destroys him.
  • In the episode "Showdown at the Secret Spaceship Hideout", WordGirl and Dr. Two-Brains stop their fighting to think about their old friendship and how it used to be after Dr. Two-Brains discovers the book he wrote as Prof. Boxleitner. After WordGirl says that he was a brilliant scientist before he turned evil, he briefly looks at her with warm sparkly eyes.
  • The episode "Cherish is the Word". Not only does Tobey give WordGirl a chocolate human heart and tell Victoria Best that WordGirl's the best superhero, she even says that he can be her non-enemy.
  • Two-Brains coming to Becky's rescue in "A World Without WordGirl". He's a normal guy in that timeline — at least "normal" in that he didn't merge his brain with Squeaky — which means that he didn't forget his friendship with Becky.
  • In "By Jove, You've Wrecked My Robot", Tobey swooning over the similarities he's noticed between Becky and WordGirl is heartwarming for two reasons. 1) Sure, Becky's been complimented on those things, but always as WordGirl; this is the first time someone has said those things about her as the person she sees as an actual person instead of a job (an important one, but still, WordGirl is just a job to her). And 2) she realizes, if only for a moment, that Tobey's crush on her is legitimate.
  • Mr. Big and Leslie missing each other, and eventually making up in "Yes-Monkey".
  • "The Rise of Miss Power":
    • Right after Tobey's heart is crushed by WordGirl, his robots hand him a picture they drew of him and them together. It's especially heartwarming because the viewers can assume that Tobey really doesn't have any friends that he didn't build himself.
    • All the villains working together to fight Miss Power for the safety of Earth is just a really sweet gesture on the villains' end, especially because they're villains.
      • Later, after WordGirl defeats Miss Power, they all come together to tell her that she's the best arch-nemesis they could ask for, and throw a party to celebrate her victory.
    • Mrs. Botsford telling WordGirl that she is proud of her (bringing tears to WordGirl's eyes) and subtly hinting she knows her secret identity.
  • Scoops finds out WordGirl's identity when Becky saves him from a horde of G-rated zombies in "Invasion of the Bunny Lovers". At first he's thrilled on realizing that, after several seasons of searching for answers, he got them. Then he agrees to keep her secret because Becky's friendship matters more to him than the glory of revealing WordGirl's identity. This redeemed Scoops after his Intrepid Reporter quests seemed a bit rude.
  • Chuck finally admitting that he does want to spend time with Brent after saving him from Mr. Big's mind control scheme in "Big and Brent", followed by the two of them going to enjoy a feel-good buddy movie together.
  • In "A Few Words From WordGirl", WordGirl is asked to give a speech, but is nervous and can't think of anything inspirational to say. Two-Brains helps her out.
    Two-Brains: You're WordGirl! Your actions inspire people more than anything you could say.
  • The entire segments showing Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen in "El Queso Mysterioso" where he devotes an entire crime spree doing what they want to do, like stealing non-cheese tacos, breaking into a sticker factory, and swimming in piles of money.
    Two-Brains: You know, I'm having a heck of a lot of fun today. Sure, I don't like stickers as much as my henchmen do-
    Henchman 1: No one does!
    Two-Brains: But you know what? I love seeing them happy, and their happiness is having an influence on my mood!
  • The ending of "It's Your Party and I'll Cry if I Want To". Tobey decides to use his giant robots to ruin Katie's birthday party as revenge for not being invited. However, while preparing to do so, he sees her starting to cry and suddenly finds that he can't go through with it. After making the robot stand down, he takes things one step further by giving her one of the robot's eyes as a makeshift birthday present, causing her to declare him a good person. As a reward for this, WordGirl decides to let him off the hook for his robot attack just this once, and they end the episode on temporarily good terms, going off to make their own fun by getting ice cream together.
  • "Rhyme and Reason Part 2"
    • At the end, despite their previous falling out, Violet still goes out of her way to help out WordGirl/Becky when the latter's outmatched by the eponymous Rhyme and Reason duo, reasoning that since she knows who WordGirl is now, she couldn't just sit by and watch her get hurt. It's nice to see that even though their friendship may have been in ruins at that time, Violet still cares about Becky's wellbeing.
    • Later, both Becky and Violet reconcile, rekindling their friendship by "starting over".
    • Blink and you'll miss it, but as Becky and Violet are walking away from the swings after starting over, Tears of Joy are visible in Becky's eyes.
    • A minor one, but the last second of the episode (and the last second of the series) has Violet say to Bob that she always knew that he was a monkey, making him smile a bit. After several episodes of characters confusing him with other animals, it's rather heartwarming to see someone acknowledge what he actually is.
