* Benny rapping in "96,000" (probably the most famous number overall) about how he'd go to business school, get rich, and golf with either Donald Trump or Tiger Woods...''as his caddy''. Particularly when you look at [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement certain remarks]] Trump made during, and after, his presidential campaign.

* Sonny and Graffiti Pete get one in the same moment: they realize that the neighborhood's all dark, meaning no one can see. They light up the fireworks in Graffiti Pete's backpack that they were saving for July 4th, warning everyone to stand back while they light up. Then the two hand out lit sparklers to people on the streets to use as impromptu flashlights. Unsurprisingly, his friends and family laud Sonny as a hero when he returns to Abuels's apartment.

** A shoutout to the writing team here as well: the companion book 'In the Heights: Finding Home' revealed that Quiara Hudes came up with the idea for "Paciencia y Fe" to be Claudia's DeathSong on the day of filming. Meaning all the rewrites and reblocking necessary to make the song one of the most impactful death scenes in movie musical history? All of it happened in ''one day''.

* Usnavi says that he wants to take Abuela Claudia and Sonny with him to his parents' bar to renovate it in the Dominican Republic. Claudia says she'll only go if Sonny does because the block needs her. Sonny politely refuses, and in the case of WiseBeyondTheirYears, gently asks Usnavi if maybe he's idealizing a place he doesn't really remember. It takes until the end of the movie for Usnavi to realize that Sonny was right.

* Benny never blames Nina for her father's choice to sell the dispatch, unlike in the musical. Indeed, Nina argues with her dad that they can't afford to do it especially when she doesn't see college as worth it, and Benny tries to intercede on her behalf when she tries to explain why she doesn't want to go back to Stanford. Benny peacefully explains to Kevin that no one was seeing Nina for who she was, but as a stereotype and another check off the diversity checklist.

** And what does Benny do when he when he finds out the dispatch doesn't have power? He routes the incoming calls through his own cellphone and the outgoing through a backup generator he found inside, allowing him to help a pregnant woman get to a working hospital to deliver her baby. That's when Kevin walks in, and he nonverbally admits that he misjudged Benny.
