* The ending of "43rd and Normal" (7x11) is filled with this. [[spoiler: Burgess finally lets out that she's expecting her and Ruzek's child with some encouragement from Platt, who gives her a "Mom Cop" cup that she ordered online(according to her, she knows these things and she's heard Ruzek and Burgess discussing/arguing about it)and tells an uncertain Burgess to go with her gut regarding whether or not to inform Voight, how to smooth things over with Ruzek, and move forward from there. It's easily the most motherly advice Platt has ever given Burgess in all of their interactions. When Burgess tells Voight about the pregnancy, not only does he warmly embrace and congratulate her, but we haven't seen him that happy since his grandchild's first birthday in "Start Digging".]]

** Then there's [[spoiler: her reconciliation with Ruzek. After several episodes of baby tension that finally came to a head with her giving him a scathing TheReasonYouSuckSpeech midway through this episode, she softens and invites him over to finally discuss their future. He asks her to marry him because he wants to do the right thing, and wants to prove to her that he's matured but she sees right through that and turns it down, knowing that neither one of them are ready to be husband and wife, but immediately tells him that she knows he's a good guy, it's why she loves him, and that no matter what, they'll always be together as a family if nothing else. He repeatedly thanks her for it and the episode ends with them holding hands and leaning on one another as they lovingly gaze at their baby's sonogram photos.]]
