[[AC: Season 5]]
* Rosie, with the help of Bob Pogo and Jim Jeffords, takes down both the mayor and the local crime boss at the same time, saving his neighborhood from being destroyed to build a new tollway and saving Bob from a mafia vendetta. Not a bad way for the city's first Black alderman to start his career.
* Bob Pogo pushes Rosie out from under a collapsing scaffold without any hesitation, saving his life, which is a complete turnaround from the way Bob has acted throughout the entire series.
* Buster Thunder Jr. successfully jumps over an airline lengthwise. If it hadn't been for his profanity-laced speech to the town and to Alaquippa's board of directors, organizing the show would have been the proudest moment of Frank's career.

Keep in mind, it's across the country, she's so far along that she isn't allowed to drive, and she's clearly in pain from having to walk and keep her labor in check.

* Rosie getting one up over the corrupt mayor of Rustvale by bribing the same alderman the mayor had originally bribed to get all the necessary votes to get his dogtrack stadium built (by tearing down the library in Rosie's neighborhood), meaning that the mayor now had to do whatever Rosie wanted, mostly fix all the decaying infrastructure in the black parts of the city, if he wanted Rosie's support.
** Rosie getting elected as an alderman in the first place, the first black alderman in Rustvale's history, despite all the attempts by the corrupt and mob-funded city officials attempt at keeping black voters away, such as closing polling places, and cancelling bus services (all of which are based on voter supression accusations in real life). How do they get around it? By asking Smokey and his squad of vending machine refillers to help bus voters to the nearest voting stations!
