* When asked about Tiberius' siblings on Twitter, Orion explained that they all happen to have metallic colors, while Tiberius is a chromatic color. While that might be expected to cause some tension to the usual assumption of metallic=good and chromatic=evil, Orion says the siblings get on very well. We even see a touch of this in episode 10, where Tiberius sends a magical letter to his brother Jerahd asking for any clues about K'Varn, and Jerahd replies as soon as he can and is sincerely sorry when he can't help his brother out.

!!Campaign 2: 2018-present
[[folder: Episode 1: Curious Beginnings]]
* Caleb is deeply indebted to Nott for saving his life the previous day, and makes sure the goblin is safe. He also pays for her to bet at cards with Jester. Noteworthy, despite his overall demeanour, he's always gentle with Nott.
** Nott returns it, doing her best to follow the rules and immediately tells Caleb of her misadventure the day before.
** It's also meta-heartwarming, as this might be a nod to the end of the last campaign. The last campaign ended with Sam being unable to save Liam's character. How does his character's story ''begin'' here? Saving Liam's character.
** Liam revealed on Talks Machina that Caleb's familiar Frumpkin is named after Liam's own cat from his childhood.
* Jester uses her Blessing of the Trickster on Nott to help her get into the circus without being bothered by the guards. At this point they've only known each other for a few hours at most and yet Jester is still willing to use her ability to help Nott go out and have fun.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 2: A Show of Scrutiny]]
* When the group is discovered by Crown's Guard as they're sneaking around the circus grounds, Nott pretends to attack Caleb who is disguised as a guard himself. Caleb punches Nott in the face to sell the act but IMMEDIATELY after the real guards leave and are out of range Caleb apologizes sincerely to Nott and even checks her teeth for damage.
* Molly and the rest of the circus performers genuinely care about each other, and he at one point describes them as his family. When Beau tries to bond with the Knot Sisters by taking a verbal swipe at him, they actually get offended.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 3: The Midnight Chase]]
* There's something heartwarming about the fact that, despite Beau and Molly's mutual dislike of each other, they still come to each other's aid when fighting the zombie Crownguard. Molly even gives her a smile as he slays the one that almost bit her.
* Caleb's reaction to getting his books, literally bounding with joy and picking Nott up to dance about with her.
* During the fight towards the end, Nott refuses to leave Caleb's side when he is downed, going so far as to shield him with her body (even though she's only at 4 HP herself) and even giving him mouth to mouth with a Nat 20 medicine check that ends up saving his life.
[[/folder]]


[[folder: Episode 4: Disparate Pieces]]
* Molly and Fjord both go willingly to the stockade to be with the whole group during their trial. They're becoming FireForgedFriends.
* Caleb’s protectiveness of Nott shines through again in the trial as he stands protectively in-between her and the lawmaster shown to have a prejudice against goblins. He later picks her up and seems to dare the guards to try anything, “She’s my friend.”
* Despite her awkward initial apology for knocking her out during the battle, back at the tavern when Toya is about to leave Beau gives the young Dwarf one of her jeweled bracelets, telling her it'll "protect [her] from assholes named Beau."
* Caleb taking Nott to the really nice baths (costing 4 silver per person) is a sweet gesture on his part, as she directly saved his life twice (once with a healing potion in Session Zero, once with a Natural 20 in Episode 3). Subverted hilariously when Nott doesn't actually get in and spends the time stealing whatever she pleases.
** Also to get in, Caleb pretends to be her father, even calling her “Meine Liebchen” (My dear or darling in German). Makes you wonder if they’ve pretended to be father/daughter in the past to pull a con or avoid trouble.
* Nott giving her stolen flowers to Yasha, even if it was for "please don't hurt me" reasons, shows that a friendship is going to bloom between them.
* By the end of the episode, the group starts to find their unity, deciding that a two-week trip to their next destination will let them get to know each other better and decide [[ForegoneConclusion if they're going to be a permanent team]]. Even though Yasha declines to travel with them, it's made clear that she's always welcome to drop in and out.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 5: The Open Road]]
* Jester gives Nott a bouquet of flowers early in the episode: when asked why, she tells Nott it's because they're friends.
** The significance of this becomes far greater following the reveal that Jester herself likely didn't have friends growing up since her existence was kept a secret by her mother.
* Caleb is absolutely ''[[SoProudOfYou giddy]]'' after Nott casts her first spell.
* Meta example: Just how ''casually'' Matthew explains that the captain of the guards is a genderfluid individual, and corrects himself when he accidentally uses she/her instead of they/them pronouns. To see an enby in a position of power brought much delight to non-binary Critters, as expressed countlessly on social media.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 7: Hush]]
* When the chips are down, irreverent, snappish Beau is the one who risks life and limb to drag a dying Nott away from the Manticore. JerkWithAHeartOfGold indeed.
** Not to mention the earlier battle, wherein she immediately charges forward to kill the hyena that badly injured the child Nott was trying to save. She then kneels down by the child and desperately tries to help with his injuries.
* The first thing Fjord does after being released from Hold Person is rush over to the unconscious Jester and pour a healing potion into her mouth.
-->'''Liam:''' Now that's love.
* While also being straight-up cool as hell, Shakäste's HDYWTDT against the Manticore is also strangely touching. Per Khary's description of it, Shakäste does it as an act of love and mercy for a creature who had just lost her child, killing her cleanly with a quick, fell blow.
* Shakäste commends Nott for her selfless bravery during the fight with the manticore and allows her to keep the pouch she stole from him earlier.
* Caleb having some kind of traumatic flashback after the battle in the caves prompts a few:
** Molly is openly concerned for the rest of the party, worrying over Nott and Jester, and trying to calm Caleb down after his murder of the gnoll priest, even consoling him with a kiss on the forehead. Later, Molly and Beau, who are very vocal about their dislike for one another, are quietly and unhesitatingly united in supporting Caleb and guiding him out of the cavern
** Back in town, a still-out-of-it Caleb distractedly holds Nott's hand in the midst of celebration. Nott responds by giving him the coin pouch she stole from guest party member Shakäste not a few hours before, calling it "book money".
* The residents of Alfield hail the group as heroes and treat them as one united team, even holding a celebration in their honour despite all the losses and destruction. Matt's narration notes that the townspeople's sheer gratitude is something most of the party--who largely seem to come from rather shady or otherwise isolated backgrounds--is very unfamiliar with.
-->'''Matt''': You all think over what you've done, this [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits ragtag group of wandering know-nothing's]] who've managed to come together and do a good thing. For some coin, maybe, but a good thing nonetheless.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 8: The Gates of Zadash]]
* First, a couple of notes on the part of the esteemed real-life couples:
** Laura and Travis are expecting a baby in July, and they even drew up a [[https://twitter.com/LauraBaileyVO/status/969300050848268288 character sheet!]]
** A little over a third of the way through the episode, Marisha turns awkwardly to mask a sneeze and ''legitimately'' injures her ribs in doing so (an injury which, thankfully, later turned out to be a case of a severely pulled muscle instead of actual broken bone). When Matt realizes how much pain she's in, he drops all professional pretense and immediately becomes visibly and audibly distressed, only going back to his usual persona once it becomes clear that Marisha is mostly okay after the break. HappilyMarried indeed.
-->'''Marisha:''' ''(after a truly bad pun on Travis' part)'' Oh, don't make me laugh. This is...this is some bullshit, guys.
-->'''Matt:''' ''(mouthing)'' I love you.
* Following their return to Alfield, the party celebrates, with a lot of the locals buying them drinks out of gratitude. Molly secretly repays all of them by slipping a silver coin into their pockets, likely because, in his eyes, the citizens need the money more than the party does, especially in the aftermath of the gnoll attack.
* As Jester goes to sleep the Traveller reaches out to her by warming her holy symbol, wordlessly telling her that he is with her.
** It's a small moment, but Beau tucking the sheets over Jester after overhearing the latter's sad prayer to her deity is quite sweet.
* Jester gets Fjord a letter of recommendation to the Soltrice Academy. The open mouth surprise on Travis' face says all.
* When Jester asks Nott how old she is, Nott responds that she's not sure because goblins don't celebrate birthdays. Caleb promptly decides that the current day will officially be her birthday.
** Prior to this, Beau asks Caleb whether he sees Nott as a daughter, which he denies, but he does admit to seeing her as [[LikeBrotherAndSister a little sister]] of sorts.
* Even after being attacked by them and having Caleb knocked out, Molly still pays the eight surviving bandits one gold apiece to help them start a better life. It takes a SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}} turn when he tells the bandits to stop harping on their new leader, claiming that new management should not be criticized until changes are in effect.
* Basically everything about Enchanter Pumat Sol, the relaxed, ever-smiling, inexplicably Canadian firbolg shopkeeper the Mighty Nein encounter when they reach the city. Perhaps the single kindest character encountered in the new campaign as of this writing, Pumat's very first interaction with the party sees him magically clean Caleb free of charge and then affectionately pat Nott on the head without a hint of revulsion.
-->'''Pumat:''' Oh, I didn't mean to ignore your invitation there. What's your name?
-->'''Nott:''' ''(nervously)'' N-Nott! Just Nott! You're...large.
-->'''Pumat:''' ''(smiling absently, shaking her hand)'' You're small.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 9: Steam and Conversation]]
* Caleb and Beau have a look at the Archive in Zadash, while Nott sneaks off to go steal something. The moment Caleb realizes Nott is gone, he becomes really anxious and, ignoring Beau's attempts at calming him down, immediately begins looking around. Nott reappears with freshly stolen buttons not moments later, but Caleb's concern for her safety illustrates how attached he is to her by this point.
* During the visit to the bath house Nott admits that she doesn't know how to swim. The rest of the party immediately offer to teach her. Beau holds her hands as she takes her first dip and later, after Jester washes Nott's hair for her, everyone but Molly and Yasha hold Nott as she goes under the water. When the party is getting ready to leave Caleb ties Nott's hair into a ponytail for her.
* While the exchange between Caleb and Jester ends on a somewhat sour note due to Jester being InnocentlyInsensitive, it was quite sweet of Caleb to offer 50 gold to Jester, especially if you take into account that this is not an amount of money Caleb is used to having.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 10: Waste and Webs]]
* Jester's pure faith in the Traveler; she happily gushes about her relationship with him and states that, while she hasn't seen his face, she thinks he's handsome (and then proceeds to get embarassed when it occurs to her that he might have heard her say that).
* At Nott's request, Caleb buys the goblin some earmuffs (and a bonus woolen cap) against the cold.
* During the fight with the GiantSpider, Molly realizes it is about to strike at Yasha and, without hesitation, activates the amplified version of Blood Maledict, [[CastFromHitPoints for which he himself suffers damage]], to give the monster disadvantage on its attack. An odd couple they may be, but Molly and Yasha clearly look out for one another.
** Molly's spell averts what would otherwise have been a critical hit for the spider, too.
* After Caleb loots the bodies in the sewer, he pulls Jester aside and attempts to give her the money he collected, 100 gold in total. This time, Jester gently accepts the gold (though she insists she's not keeping it for herself, instead planning to use it for the party), and she apologizes for her InnocentlyInsensitive behavior from before, which Caleb accepts. He apologizes in return for reacting so badly, and it's accepted just as graciously.
* Later on, after the group has received the reward for completing their contract, Caleb admits that his whole reason for trying to get to Chastity's Nook, a book shop in one of Zadash's wealthier neighborhoods, was so he and Jester could browse smutty literature together.
* Caleb reveals that Frumpkin was kicked into non-existence and, despite Caleb saying he knows he can bring Frumpkin back, the group all agree the guard who did it will pay.
* Meta-example: Travis and Liam both get excited when Ashley and Sam have their characters use signature skills of their classes (for Ashley, it's Yasha entering into a rage, for Sam, it's Nott speaking Thieves' Cant and rolling a Natural 20 on Persuasion). In a sense, they are stepping into the shoes that Travis and Liam's characters from Campaign 1 filled, so it's quite heart-warming to see the veterans eagerly cheer on the newbies.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 11: Zemnian Nights]]
* After Jester explains that she wants to turn in her key at the Pillow Trove so they don't waste the money she will eventually get from her mother, Fjord commends her for thinking ahead. She responds that she's trying to be smarter about things, to which [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Beau]] says that she ''is'' very smart.
* Having stepped on each other's toes a little in Episode 9, it's clear that both Jester and Caleb are actively trying to build a better rapport with one another:
** In preparation of once more trying to get into the Tri-Spires district with Caleb, Jester gives him a once-over, cleaning his face and rearranging his hair a little. When she's done, she assures him he looks "sparkling clean" and "very dashing", to which Caleb good-naturedly quips that he hopes the guards think so too.
** Upon finding out that there's a bakery right next to Chastity's Nook, Caleb offers to buy Jester sweets. They end up placing an order for ''10'' bear claws and a fresh loaf of bread.
** To return the favor, Jester buys Caleb the expensive historical porn book presented to them by Iva in Chastity's Nook. Unfortunately, it turns out Caleb wasn't really interested in smutty literature, he was simply looking for spellbooks. However, he still appreciates the gesture and thanks her for the gift.
** When they're in Jester's room at the Pillow Trove, Caleb runs his hand over the bed sheet, but Beau chastises him for getting it dirty. Jester assures him it's not a problem and enthusiastically tells him to try lying on the bed, seemingly sensitive to the fact that Caleb probably hasn't had the chance to enjoy such luxuries in his life.
* When the whole party is finally introduced to the Knights of Requital, Beau aggressively asks if [[FantasticRacism "people like"]] Jester and Molly make the Knights uncomfortable. Made extra sweet considering her own HateAtFirstSight relationship with Molly and how Molly exposed himself to some racist vitriol courtesy of the High Richter moments earlier.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 12: Midnight Espionage]]
* Jester chooses to save a severely injured and paralyzed Nott instead of herself when she flubs a check to keep both of them on their rope.
* Moments after being caught in a MexicanStandOff with Caleb and Nott over Caleb’s attempt to steal some spell scrolls from the High Richter’s home, Fjord uses a healing potion on an unconscious Caleb, who had gotten caught in the blast of a Fireball spell, and, with help from Jester, then carries him out of the building to safety.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 13: Lost & Found]]
* Nott tells the rest of the Nein the truth of how she sees her relationship with Caleb. She sees the pair as a parent and child, except she is [[MamaBear the mother and she must protect Caleb.]]
-->'''Nott''': It's my job to protect him because I love him and I am his protector.
** The rest of the cast look like they're about to break out into TearsOfJoy during this whole speech, especially Liam (whose character isn't present to hear).
* When Nott shows Caleb the spell scrolls she stole from the High Richter's place, Caleb reads one... and reacts with sheer joy and hugs her. We don't find out what spell it is, only that it's one he's been trying to learn for a long time. But his reaction says it all: it's the best gift she could've possibly given him.
* The moment Caleb finally started to turn the opinions of those who considered him to be a selfish, unlikable grump when it comes to the rest of the Nein.
-->'''Caleb:''' ''(to Nott)'' Believe it or not, I like [the party], too. I don't agree with them, but I like them.
* At the end of Caleb's solo segment Matt describes him waking up to find Nott, who had been sleeping across the room when Caleb fell asleep, is now cuddled up against his leg. As he says this Sam is returning to room and stops to nuzzle against Liam's shoulder.
-->'''Nott:''' I got [[ItMakesSenseInContext scared of the skeleton]] so I came over here.
* The cast's utter ''delight'' when Matt reveals Pumat Sol is reading Tary's book. Between Sam and Laura hugging each other and Marisha practically leaping out of her seat it's sweet to see how excited they are at a nod back to the first campaign.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Episode 14: Fleeting Memories]]
* Sam's D&D Beyond promo for the week is turned into an elaborate ceremony dedicated to celebrating the return of Ashley (due to her show {{Series/Blindspot}} being on hiatus), complete with putting a tiara on her, party decorations, balloons, poetry, an old Irish blessing and Taliesin singing!
* The party is generally accepting of Molly when they discover his amnesia, but Caleb in particular tries to emphasize his support, telling Molly that he believes in second chances and making a point to use Molly's full name. Molly, in turn, seems quite touched, hiding a smile and sincerely thanking Caleb.
--> '''Mollymauk:''' This was... not how I expected this to go. Thank you.
** Of note is the fact that Nott, up until this point, had been very suspicious of Molly, especially after the confrontation between them in Episode 11 (even wondering if he had something to do with the attack on Zadash), but she still tries to encourage him, and even says that she likes him a little more now. Beau also has a similar reaction, saying that she dislikes him a little less now.
** There's also a sweet little moment after the Zone of Truth scene where Taliesin, after a fairly intense scene for him, briefly rests his head on Ashley's shoulder, who puts her arm around him for a quick cuddle. It's small, but very cute.
* A Caleb-centered one is [[ShipperOnDeck his awkward attempts to play matchmaker for Yasha and Beau]], trying to encourage Yasha to buy shuriken for Beau and telling Beau that Yasha was the one who carried the shuriken for him. Both women are clueless about his efforts, but the fact that he tried is rather sweet.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Episode 15: Where The River Goes]]
* The group's reactions to Jester being knocked out by the Gelatinous Cube reinforce just how much they all [[TheHeart love her]].
** Once the cube is defeated Fjord rushes over to give her a healing potion with Travis specifically mentioning how he cradles her head to do so.
** Later, before they try activating the puzzle again, Molly tells Jester to stay near the door and run if another enemy appears.
** When Jester wonders if she should use one of her few spell slots to heal herself (not wanting to use another healing potion as it's 'a waste of money') Beau insists she do so, gently telling her to prioritise her own health.
* Marisha confirmed on Talks Machina that Beau's ActuallyPrettyFunny moment towards one of Mollymauk's insults shows that she's starting to warm up to and feel more comfortable around the rest of the group. She also says that Beau is starting to like Molly more ever since he opened up in Episode 14, although she's not sure if the feeling's mutual.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Episode 16: A Favor In Kind]]
* After having been one-shot by the gelatinous cube last episode, Jester starts this one pretty low on health, and is knocked unconscious during the fight with Siff. Travis has her covered though:
--> '''Travis:''' I got one more [health potion] with your name on it, sweet cheeks.
* Under the influence of Siff's ''Whispers of Madness'', Yasha goes to attack Beau, but Molly uses Blood Maledict to make her miss. While this move doesn't damage Yasha, it still says quite a lot that Molly is willing to put a curse on his best friend to protect the person he arguably likes the least out of the entire group.
* Fjord admits to having cut his tusks as a child because they made him a prime target for bullying and isn't sure whether he should let them grow back, believing they represent some of the rougher aspects of his heritage. In the ensuing discussion, the Mighty Nein all try to be supportive in their own ways (hilariously, Yasha inquires if he ever ''[[DisproportionateRetribution killed]]'' [[DisproportionateRetribution one of the kids in retaliation]]). Jester very sweetly tells him that he's handsome now, and that he'd certainly still be handsome if he let the tusks grow back, a statement that Caleb seconds.
* Caleb and Nott have a cute moment when the former thanks the latter for teaching him ''Message'' through the use of said spell, [[BorrowedCatchphrase complete with Nott's usual catchphrase, "you can reply to this message"]]. The two proceed to marvel at being capable of secretly having a conversation from separate ends of the room by casting ''Message'' in turn.
* The {{Adorkable}} moment between Caleb and Jester studying the Beacon, and Nott playing "concerned but supportive parent" to the two of them.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Episode 17: Harvest Close]]
* Molly spends most of the carnival running back and forth between stands and games, trying to share in the fun of the other Nein. It is likely that either the festivities remind him of the circus, or possibly given that his memories only consist of the last two years that this is possibly the first real festival he's been to, and his reactions to it all are of very child-like excitement and enjoyment, even enjoying the parts that the other members declare a ripoff, such as his prize in Trebuchet being just a single strawberry. It's adorable to see him so happy.
* When Nott reports back from a conversation she eavesdropped on and reveals that the Dwendalian Empire is about to declare war on Xhorhas, Caleb states that sticking together has become "more important than ever". Jester questions whether he means all of them, or just him and Nott. Caleb confirms that he did mean all of them, a clear indication that he has grown to care about the rest of the Nein.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Episode 18: Whispers of War]]
* [[HatesBeingTouched Yasha]] giving Jester a hug for healing her after the giant smashes her. It's an awkward side-hug, but it's still a hug!
* After Caleb reveals his backstory, Nott hugs him and tells him this.
-->'''Nott:''' It's not your fault. It's not your fault. And I'm going to keep telling you that until you believe me.
** Also, the fact that Caleb finally trusted Nott with his torments. He was given a carrot from Beau that he couldn't resist, so he let her in on his hidden horrors, but he knew that it wouldn't be fair to not have Nott be among the first to know. Another part of this is that he chose to remain with the group and let Beau in on his dark past rather than keep it to himself and keep running - he's [[DefrostingIceKing defrosting]] slowly but surely.
** Beau, as awkward as she is, insists that Caleb isn't the one at fault for what happened and seems to trust him more now.
* The Lawmaster's speech on why she does her job. She knows some members of the Empire are corrupt, she works to ensure that the public aren't stepped on by those who abuse their power. She knows utopia is impossible, but she does what she can to keep the people of her country safe.
* After episodes worrying about whether her mother would send her a care package, Jester finally receives one. While it doesn't have the amount of money she hoped for, it still contained 200 gold, perfume, paints, and a letter of love.
** Also heartwarming is the fact that Jester, obviously still thinking about the conversation she had with Caleb about money, does her best to stay positive and appreciate how much she did get, while the rest of the party comforts her and ultimately tells her to keep the 200 gold - which she was going to share - for herself.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Episode 19: The Gentleman's Path]]
* Caleb secretly casts Haste on Beau before her impromptu sparring match with Jester, a sign of how much he's come to trust her after the last episode.
* After being KO'd by her in the ring, Jester bears no animosity towards Beau, hugging her while exclaiming how much fun she had. Beau is equally delighted, and apologizes for hurting Jester in the bout.
* Though it's mostly PlayedForLaughs as Caleb is faking the dead, Jester's concern and fuss over the injured Caleb is very touching, with her prioritizing healing him over everything else.
* A small friendship moment between Caleb and Yasha: when the party is questioning Yasha about her use of Necrotic Shroud (and the skeletal wings that come with it), Caleb speaks to her in Celestial, and Yasha says that it's nice to talk with someone who understands the language.
* After Nott reveals her backstory to the party, they ask her if she wants to go back to the halfling village to find her friend. When she points out that she'd be stoned to death if she went back there (and that's without the possibility of running into her old tribe), the party assures her that they'd protect her, and Jester and Beau assure her that [[TrueCompanions she's one of them.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 21: Stalker in the Swamp]]
* The story in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4BuL886bJA animated "[=DnD=] Beyond" intro.]] A beginning player is disorganized with her magic-using character, and opens her tablet to the cast pictured in their Season 2 opening. She taps on the "[=DnD=] Beyond" title card Sam's holding in the picture, and is pulled to an adventure with the Mighty Nein. Fjord reaches his hand out to the player, and she gets a SignificantWardrobeShift as she's accepted before she faces gnolls and a beholder.
* Jester and Beau spent the night in a [[GroupHug cuddle pile]] with Kiri snuggled between them.
* It's subtle, but Caleb holds a Magic Missile spell in case the troll attacks any of his friends. This may be one of the first times Caleb openly calls the rest of the Nein "friends".
* Jester heals an unconscious Fjord by letting duplicity!Jester hug him and use Cure Wounds.
* After the "Bowlgate" drama between Beau and Caleb, Marisha yells "I love you!" while hugging Liam to show there's no hard feelings and it's just friends acting.
* Guest character Callianna is an incredibly sweet girl, going out of her way to compliment the party at every turn; because that's how she was treated as a kid and wants other people to feel special like she got to... even if it was because she was a cult's object of worship.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 22: Lost Treasures]]
* Beau wonders whether she messed up with Caleb last time, and asks Fjord for advice on how to apologise. She follows through at the end of the episode, and Caleb awkwardly hugs her in response (whispering "I have no idea what I'm doing. Just play along."). Both IMMEDIATELY look to others for advice, Beau to Fjord and Caleb to Yasha, as neither have any clue what to do. Kiri sums up the moment with one of her learned phrases:
-->'''Kiri:''' Welcome to the Mighty Nein!
** While Beau is asking Fjord's advice, Travis and Laura's baby starts kicking. Cue a tiny, precious moment of Sam feeling Laura's belly.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 23: Have Bird, Will Travel]]
* Thanks to her new ''Sending'' spell, Jester finally gets to speak to her mother. It's brief and is cut short by the word limit (the spell only allows 25 words), but Jester's mother is overwhelmingly happy to hear she's okay and that she got her package, and sends her love.
* When Caleb re-kills the troll and gets lost in his memories again, Beau goes over to him and just brings him on a walk. Nott looks over out of concern, but sees that Beau is handling the situation, so she allows Beau to keep taking care of Caleb in an understated gesture of trust.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 24: The Hour of Honor]]
* Beau confiding in Nott her past; considering they are two of the most wary and untrusting of the party, them reaching out and trusting each other is very sweet.
* Jester asking Caleb to dance. Until MoodWhiplash sets in with Caleb's WrongNameOutburst. She then ensures he gets to bed safely, instead of passing out in a gutter, and they have another sweet (if half-drunk) moment.
* Upon discovering that the ones who stole from them are ''children'', the entire team's attitude changes and Beau even gives them 20 gold to help them survive. Then they all decide to do what they can - with what limited time they have considering they are on a job for the Gentleman and being late wouldn't be a good idea - to rescue their parents and thus let them get out of town. Fjord in particular is intent on leaving this place better than it was before, at the least for these kids.

[[folder: Episode 25: Divergent Paths]]
* Travis and Laura are unable to make it, due to Laura giving birth earlier in the day. The two welcome in a new critter into the world, and the table is overjoyed at the news.
-->'''Matt:''' You'll notice we're down two players tonight. That's because apparently some babies can't wait.
* Liam/Caleb briefly breaks the fourth wall (but not character) to give Travis/Fjord some parenting advice.
* The Shusters seem to notice Nott is a goblin... and after getting past their initial surprise, they don't seem to mind. Sam confirms on Talks Machina that this is the first time Nott helped someone and wasn't treated with contempt for being a goblin.
* After the group finds a new home for Kiri, one of the Nein's members is unexpectedly moved.
-->'''Beau:''' I think that's the first nice thing I've ever done.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 26: Found & Lost]]
* When talking to Keg, Beau says they're all on edge because they've lost family... before correcting herself to "party members". A possible hint that she's warming up to the group.
* When fighting the bug monsters, Molly kept himself positioned between the monsters and Caleb. It goes to show how well they’ve learned each other’s preferences in battle, as well as trying to keep each other safe after losing half their party.
* Molly getting the party to agree to help the Firbolgs captured by the Iron Shepherds, and giving one of his moon flasks to the Firbolg child, are HeartwarmingInHindsight given that [[spoiler: Molly died at the end of the episode, so these good deeds were among his last actions.]]
* Though the moment's initially played for laughs, the fact Molly spent his last night sleeping between friends comes across as HeartwarmingInHindsight.
* Matt [[spoiler: has a very pained and regretful expression on his face while he's deciding that Lorenzo would kill Molly (and for the rest of the episode, basically). He's the Dungeon Master, so it's his job to challenge the players and kill them when he must, but he's no KillerGameMaster - he cares about the characters as much as anyone.]]
** After the fact, some portions of the Critter community have been unfortunately lashing out at Matt. However, Matt has remained positive and loving throughout this process, listening to the angry voices and replying to them with nothing but warmth, grace, and understanding.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 27: Converging Fury]]
* Beau's speech on how Molly would always try to leave places better than how he found them, and how awful she feels that the "best lie" she confided in him involved making people miserable. Molly's influence is making her want to be a better person.
* Nott's explanation for not taking anything from Molly's body: "[[CallBack Molly said not to steal from happy people]]".
* Nott talks to Caleb about how much she loves travelling with the group and how much of a better life they have now, and how Molly's love of life showed her this, pointing out how Molly's invitation to the circus was what brought the group together. She wants to save Jester, Fjord and Yasha not because they're useful, but because she loves them, and she hopes Caleb sees them the same way.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 28: Within the Nest]]
* Caduceus Clay's introduction and reasons for wanting to journey with the group; he promised himself would leave if people came that allowed him to, having wanted to journey out of his small house for some time ever since it ended up just being him. He also mentions his sister with much fondness - she made his armour and staff - and is a gentle, kind person who has no trouble accepting the Mighty Nein as new travel companions and future friends. Meeting someone in [[WretchedHive Shadycreek Run]] who is like this is beyond amazing.
* The sheer ''fury'' from the group at realizing the Iron Shepherds' Barbarian is using Yasha's weapon. They make a point of getting that weapon in the haversack as soon as they kill the Barbarian; they genuinely care for their friends despite having been together for only so much time.
* Beau's CallBack to Nila's speech about wanting to be relied on in the last episode, as Nila rescues her mate.
-->'''Beau:''' We ''relied'' on your mate here.
* Nila's reunion with her family and her exit from the group. Sumalee is just as emotional as she is.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 29: The Stalking Nightmare]]
* Before the game starts, Brian Foster mentions that it's Travis' birthday. Cue a [=FaceTime=] call with Travis, Laura and their baby (who's snuggled up in Laura's shirt). The audience sings Happy Birthday to Travis and he makes one request of the rest of the party:
-->'''Travis''': I want you to KICK SOME FUCKING ASS!
* Shakaste returns, and he's happy to see friendly faces.
** At the end of the episode, Nott wants to return (some of) the money she'd stolen from him last time, saying that they were now good people. Shakaste's response is to gently tell her that it was a gift.
* Caleb offers for Keg and Shakaste to travel on with the group. Sadly, both decline (the curse of being a guest star), but when it's Caleb showing friendliness outright, that says a lot.
* Fjord, Jester, and Yasha are all rescued, along with three unnamed people and Shakaste, and nobody died this time!
* Beau and Keg end the episode basically saying they're going to have GladToBeAliveSex all night long (after Ashly replaced "Keg is aroused" with "Keg's in love").
* Even though they don't end up coming, Caleb is certain that Shakaste and Caduceus will come heal him as friends.
* Nott's reaction when they [[spoiler: finally rescue Jester.]]
-->'''Nott:''' Case closed.
* A somewhat meta one when, in a single turn, Caduceus manages to both revive Beau and stabilize Shakaste after they got knocked out by Lorenzo's Cone of Cold. It seems Taliesin is going to make sure [[spoiler:nobody else dies on his watch after what happened to Molly]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 30: The Journey Home]]
* Beau once more provides [[spoiler: a fitting eulogy for Mollymauk]], this one shorter and arguably almost sweeter:
-->'''Beau:''' He was the best of us.
* This exchange:
-->'''Beau:''' I would have laid down my life for you guys.
-->'''Jester:''' I would've healed you back.
* The Nein return to Molly's grave- ''and his coat's still there.''
* Caduceus casts a spell over Mollymauk, with the stated reason being "so the earth will remember him". Caduceus never even met him, but he is just so kind that he still did what he could.
* After a few very rough weeks doing the Gentleman's work, and an especially harrowing last few days dealing with the Shepherds and Mollymauk's death, the Nein get some much needed rest and reprieve when they get back to The Evening Nip. Alcohol flows like water, everyone gets a much needed opportunity to unwind and decompress, and Cadeucus gets officially accepted into the group with a hearty, if slightly bittersweet, welcome from Caleb.
-->'''Caleb''': Cadeucus Clay, ''we'' are your destiny!
* Blink and you'll miss it, but Caleb used the word "friend" to refer to Beau - he now considers at least three of the Nein his friends (Nott, Yasha, and Beau).
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 31: Commerce & Chaos]]
* In their downtime, Nott forges a letter to the Soltrice Academy, trying to find information on [[TheLostLenore Astrid]] for Caleb.
* After her successful prank, Jester is again visited by the Traveler, who reassures her that he never left and that she is still his favorite - and that he'd love her to meet his other worshipers the next year, at what was soon dubbed "Traveler Con" by the other players.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 32: Beyond the Boundaries]]
* Meeting up with Bryce was more than nice, especially with how friendly they are.
* The Mighty Nein pay for Gustav to be freed.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 33: The Ruby and the Sapphire]]
* We finally meet Jester's mom...and she's ''absolutely'' wonderful. Alpha even half-jokingly calls her "Mom of the Year", which isn't that far off. Given how bad blood family tended to be in Campaign One and with many viewers wary of just how nice Marion Lavorre (as her full name turns out to be) was to her daughter, due to how sheltered Jester is, it's very pleasant to have her genuinely be caring and loving. Marion considers Jester her little darling -- her "little sapphire" in fact, even wearing a choker set with a sapphire specifically to remember her always. Matt had previously noted how much he dislikes the trope of sex workers being abusive parents, and meeting Marion in person shows that.
** After her performance Marion reveals that she specifically didn't take any clients for the night so she could instead spend the evening with Jester and meet her new friends. She's clearly delighted to learn that her daughter is surrounded by people that care for her and thanks them all for taking care of Jester.
** Following that, upon realizing Marion has a stalker/harasser the whole team immediately decides to help her out.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 36: Oh Captain, Who's Captain?]]
* Despite having a justifiable reason to kill him, Jester asks Caduceus to save the SoleSurvivor of the ship's crew, partially to get information, but because she hadn't intended to kill him to begin with. While the man they saved is rightfully confused, Jester still makes it clear that the fighting from the previous episode was not what they intended, and feels remorseful for injuring him.
* A number of characters get touching heart-to-hearts in this episode, reflective of the intense days they've been through:
** Jester helps a practically catatonic Caduceus find some hope and faith as he questions his life's mission.
** Caleb gives Nott a piggy-back ride as they make plans to keep the group together, and Caleb finally admits that he really does care for the group.
** Fjord and Jester watch a group of glowing jellyfish go by, and talk about sadness and regret, assuring each other that they'll take care of each other.
** Caduceus asks Nott why she's been so nice to him, and she tells him how being part of the Mighty Nein has changed her life for the better.
** Fjord admits to Beau that his powers have been frightening him, and they promise to keep each other in check.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 37: Dangerous Liaisons]]
* When Avantika asks the group for their names Jester claims hers is "Sapphire", a nod to her mother's nickname for her. It's so sweet the live audience goes "awww" in response.
* Caleb finally used the "f" word in front of the entire group. Even though Nott called him out on making it sound like a question, Caleb explicitly called the Mighty Nein his ''friends''. Contrast to earlier episodes where he more thought of them as protection and just fellow travelers - he's been very slow to [[DefrostingIceKing defrost]], but his fire has thawed him out.
* Although it’s extremely charged with sexual tension through the majority of it, Fjord and Avantika’s chat has a surprisingly heartwarming moment, where Fjord thanks Avantika for telling him the truth, and how he doesn’t feel quite so alone anymore. Avantika seems to agree with the sentiment.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 39: Temple of the False Serpent]]
* Remember the exchange between Beau and Jester after Miss Lavorre, Fjord, and Yasha were rescued? Namely that Beau "would have laid down [her] life for [them]" and that Jester "would've healed [her] back"? Turns out Beau stays true to her word as she nearly died standing her ground against the hydra within the temple. She would've indeed died if it weren't for Nott killing the yuan-ti abomination (whose turn was right after Nott's and would've flat-out killed Beau) and Jester staying true to ''her'' word by bringing her friend back from the brink.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 40: Dubious Pursuits]]
* Fjord gives Jester all of his air to save her from drowning - being willing to sacrifice himself because Jester had the key to the exit.
* When everyone sprays up out of the temple, Caleb casts Feather Fall on all of the Nein... except Caduceus, who was already in death saves and would automatically die upon impact with the ground. Liam defended his decision as Caleb choosing to target the people he's most familiar with, adding that "I already said it, I can't change it". So Nott cast Feather Fall on everyone else, outright saving Caduceus. In the rapidly-flowing river that followed, the cast had Jester use her final spell slot to cast Cure Wounds on him.
* When Caleb hit double exhaustion in the jungle and lost half his speed, Caduceus and Yasha both thought of picking him up and leaving nobody behind.
* Even in the last leg of the sprint back to the Squall Eater, the Eater's crew fired cannonball after cannonball to ensure their captain and her entourage's safe return, and Avantika made it clear that the Nein had more than proven themselves worthy of joining her crew in the place of some of the current members.
* Before he leaves to speak to Avantika in her cabin [[TeamMom Nott]] hands Fjord one of her home-made vials of acid "just in case" and says she'll stay awake until he returns. Caduceus follows up by casting "Protection from Poison" on him. In the end he doesn't need either, but it's sweet to know his friends wanted him to be safe and able to defend himself if Avantika had tried to hurt him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 41: A Pirate's Life for Me]]
* Caleb gives the Periapt of Wound Closure to Caduceus, noting that the latter will get more use out of it. It also acts as something of an apology for failing to catch him with Feather Fall in the previous episode, and the generally rough time Caduceus has had since joining the group. On a meta level it's touching that the Periapt, which was originally purchased by Molly, is now being held by Taliesin's new character.
-->'''Liam:''' It just feels right that it's with you.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 43: In Hot Water]]
* Fjord looks out for Caleb three times during the fight - first, he gets the SquishyWizard out of combat, then he prioritizes getting Caleb a healing potion, then he yells out when Caleb's flames overwhelm his senses once again.
* Jester mentions that she's been using Sending to contact Kiri. Communication is stilted due to the spell's word limit and Kiri's only being able to repeat phrases, but Jester's been able to convey how much she loves and misses the young Kenku.
* When Caleb, Beau, and Nott are talking on the ship later in the episode, Caleb is the one to bring up just how stressful the whole ocean trip has been on Fjord, and openly worries a bit.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 45: The Stowaway]]
* After Caduceus goes after Fjord and the group, Caleb and Nott dawdle in the study, attempting to procure some of the tomes filled with knowledge, until Caleb decides the Mighty Nein are worth more to him.
-->'''Nott:''' Are you sure you got all the- we need the spellbooks.
-->'''Caleb:''' I need ''them'', let's go.
* When Jester feels abandoned during the fight with the dragon, the Traveller's voice echoes, letting her know that he is by her side, even guiding her shield arm to deflect the dragon's attacks. The Traveller is my co-pilot indeed.
* Nott intentionally taking an attack of opportunity from the dragon (which drops her to 1 HP), so that Jester can get out of its range safely. When Laura realises what Sam's doing she pulls him into a hug.
* When Twiggy says goodbye, Jester asks if she doesn't want to stay. Twiggy admits that, while they've been her best and only friends, she's lived her whole life in a box and wants to go explore the world.
* When Nott inquires if Caleb is okay, he responds by requesting she jump up for a hug, which Nott gives him, along with a kiss on the nose and one of the books she took from the study. Caleb tells her he'll look at it tomorrow and they should get some rest first.
* Caduceus and Beau discuss the events of the episode and note how everyone else is worn down and miserable from their near-death experience. Caduceus says that it's up to him and Beau to take care of the others, including comforting and feeding them and showing them the good work they've done.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 46: A Storm of Memories]]
* When she first joins the rest of the Nein at breakfast, Yasha is unusually cranky and standoffish. It's soon revealed to be something akin to AngerBornOfWorry, as she was very worried for their safety during the week the rest of the party were trapped in the Happy Fun Ball of Tricks.
* Caduceus approaches a local blacksmith to ask if she can repair a broken sword he purchased several episodes ago as a gift for a friend. At the end of their interaction the blacksmith asks if she can have a hug, openly admitting that he's so big and fuzzy that she was curious as to what it would be like. Caduceus is delighted and pulls her into a BearHug.
* Beau and Jester have a heartfelt conversation where Beau tells Jester how much she admires her. They both had lonely childhoods, but while Beau channelled her loneliness into destructive habits, Jester channelled hers into creativity. It ends with Beau calling her "[[AffectionateNickname Jess]]".
* Beau's CharacterDevelopment shines through again when she admits to Caduceus that she feels kinda bad about neglecting the rest of the ship's crew and wants to do something nice for them like a nice dinner.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 47: The Second Seal]]
* Jester's concern for Fjord as he goes to break the second seal. First, by praying to the Traveller and asking him to look after Fjord. Second, by asking him not to turn evil (or at least, not turn evil to her) but assuring him that if he does, she's still willing to be his friend.
* Fjord gives the ship over to the Orly to do what he likes with it. Orly tells him that, while he'll own the ship in paper and name, Fjord is the true captain.
* Caleb expresses pride in how well Nott has dealt with their water adventures and how far her magic has come.
* Caduceus [[WhamLine asks the Wildmother about Vandran]]. Even after Fjord had expressed his acceptance of leaving things as they were, Caduceus took that next step on his own.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 48: Homeward Bound]]
* As Jester says goodbye to her mother again. Marian not only goes outside to send Jester off, despite her agoraphobia, but she also gives her a present: a small ruby on a gold chain, so Jester will know The Ruby is always with her.
* In his own weird way, Caleb's intense fear that something might happen to the people he's come to consider as friends if Trent or his followers find him. He's developed genuine ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies concern towards them, which means, though he doesn't admit it, he does care about them.
-->'''Caleb:''' The problem with friends is you have to care about them!
* Jester buys a mushroom cookbook as a present for Caduceus.
* Caduceus and Fjord chat, and Caduceus tells him what the Wildmother told him about Vandran. He then tells Fjord he trusts him, as it takes a good person to resist the kind of temptation he has.
* The end of the episode reveals where Nott's MamaBear tendencies come from: she's an actual mother to a halfling boy. It's also revealed that the child is who Nott's packages of buttons and trinkets were sent to.
* Caduceus comforting Caleb after Nott's lashing out at him; pointing out that he can be the solution, and he is not responsible for the problem. [[RealityEnsues Doesn't quite work, since Caleb is in a very bad place emotionally]], but his speech is resonant.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 49: A Game of Names]]
* Caleb tells the rest of the Nein a slightly abridged version of his backstory, and they accept him, with Jester in particular telling him that she thinks he's a good person.
-->'''Caleb''': Oh, Jester. I am glad you see good in me.
** In addition, Beau apologizes to Caleb for not understanding what he was saying the day before, and tells him that it's fine if he doesn't believe in anything, but she asks him to believe in them just a little. Caleb assures her that he doesn't doubt any of them at all.
** While struggling to get the words out for his backstory, Caleb puts his arm on Beau's shoulder for reassurance and she clasps his hand. This simple, sweet gesture between two people who have difficulty with friendship is made even more poignant because it's the same thing that Caleb does whenever he's looking through Frumpkin's eyes — he holds onto Beau to stabilize him. Except now, she's keeping him steady through his emotions.
* One of the most heartwarming reactions to Nott's backstory reveal comes from ''Beau'' of all people.
-->'''Beau:''' I don't think we rubbed off on you, you rubbed off on us.
** And another one, this time towards Caleb. Considering the struggles they both have regarding communicating with each other, all she needs to say to get to him, to finally get her point across, are two simple words spoken with a gentleness and vulnerability rarely seen by anyone else.
-->'''Beau:''' ''"Don't run."''
* Nott's adorable description of Yeza, making little comments about his sideburns and nose, and saying that he's "not a looker" — but he is to her.
* When Nott tells the Mighty Nein that the Felderwin villagers, upon seeing a goblin, run and get help, Caduceus reassures Nott::
-->'''Caduceus:''' I mean, Nott, you ran and got help, here we are.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 50: The Endless Burrows]]
* Before making her run across the lava river Nott thinks of Yeza and uses that to motivate herself to keep going.
-->'''Nott:''' I close my eyes and imagine my beautiful husband, waiting for me, needing me. And I run across the lava.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 51: Xhorhas]]
* Caleb stops wearing his bandages because he doesn't need to hide his scars anymore. It's a small moment, but indicative of how much Caleb now trusts the party.
* When tattooing "Tusktooth" on Gluzo, Jester asks to see Fjord's tusks, and tattoos one of the tusks just like Fjord's — a little stumpy, but growing. Fjord seems a bit uncomfortable at first but then thanks Jester.
* Caleb holds Nott's rope while crossing the river, even though he doesn't have to, just to make her feel useful.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 52: Feral Business]]
* While discussing Caleb having learned Polymorph Nott takes a moment to gush over how fast he learns things and how proud she is of him, even mentioning that it's one of the things she loves about him. After how tense their relationship has been for the last few sessions it's nice to be reminded of how much she does care about him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 55: Duplicity]]
* When reviving Caduceus, Jester asks the Traveler to tell the Wildmother that he needs her help - the Traveler's hand appears, he says "I'm so very proud of you", and an image of the Wildmother appears for a split second as the Revivify is successful.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 56: The Favor]]
* The ending of the episode, where Caleb gave the Beacon back to the Kryn. Matt's description of the tension in the room vanishing, weapons clattering to the ground in reverent shock, and Empress Leylas Kryn tearing up in joy and relief as the dodecahedral object returned to her custody. Her words proclaiming the Nein heroes of the dynasty, where moments earlier she was set to cast them into prison with righteous fury. It might have been an act of desperation on Caleb's part, but his show of kindness and trust by returning an artifact of unknown power to a regime shrouded in mystery has changed everything.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 57: In Love and War]]
* Nott/Veth and Yeza's reunion is one big one. Despite Nott's fear that Yeza might reject her or hate her for her appearance, when she drops her illusion, he accepts her and the pair spend minutes just holding each other. When Nott says she's still afraid because she'll have to leave him and go back, he says she has nothing more to fear, because she's already come all this way once before.
** Before Nott enters the room, Jester talks with Yeza to reassure him that Veth loves him and that she came all that way for him. She's also quick to say she'll cut Yeza if he hurts Nott.
** While introducing the group to Yeza, she introduces Caleb as the second smartest man she knows. Who she considers the smartest man is a heartwarming reminder of how highly she thinks of Yeza, even while making comments about how he's a disaster in the kitchen or how she can recognize him by his burp.
** That night, Nott chooses not to share a bed with Yeza and instead lies down on the floor. After a brief conversation, Yeza brings the pillows and blankets off of the bed to join his wife on the floor and they fall asleep together for the first time in long while.
* We find out that Yasha protects the group as a way to honour Molly's memory, as he once took care of her.
* Caleb pulls Beau aside right before the episode ends and openly says that he needs her to trust him and be his friend and that he thinks their goals are aligned. He pleads for her to be his friend. Beau's response is that she has been his friend for a long time and that she trusts him, but that she feels he needs to trust himself. She also gives him a hug.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 58: Wood and Steel]]
* Wursh the Tapper, sensing that they are kindred spirits, offers Fjord some advice on being a half-orc in a world that hates their kind.
* Doubling as a funny moment: Before they separate, Nott gives Yeza a quick "Iloveyou" and closes the door. Jester tells her not to be embarrassed about her feelings in front of the group, so Nott reopens the door and yells "I LOVE YOU!!!" to Yeza, scaring him enough to drop the two daggers she'd given him for protection.
* Nott feeling comfortable enough with her goblin body to take off the bandage coverings and wear a nice dress in front of the group instead.
** After seeing Nott's confidence, Caleb also removes the bandages from his arms and goes clean-shaven.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 59: Perspective]]
* Thanks to Caduceus speaking Giant and his high Insight roll, the Nein decide to parley with the giants instead of fighting them. It turns out they were driven out of their home by demonic creatures and just want a place to settle down. They decide to help the giants take their home back. In the end, their alliance pays off, as the giant Landspeaker Soorna gets the HDYWTDT on the Chasme.
* Fjord finds some healing potions, and wants to give Jester the best one since she's not carrying any for herself. Jester insists that he keep the potion instead, saying she wants to keep him safe even when she's not able to heal him with her spells.
* Nott tells Caleb she's worried Yeza won't like the adventurous person she's become, and feels guilty about leaving him so soon to go on dangerous missions instead. While Caleb admits he doesn't have all the answers, he reassures her that he doesn't judge her for who she's become, and that they're working towards a better future for her home and family.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 61: Agreements]]
* Yasha, having probably been inspired by her vision of the Stormlord, finally opens up to the rest of the party about her past and [[TheLostLenore Zuala]]. Beau in particular reassures Yasha who is guilt-ridden for fleeing her wife in the midst of her execution. Considering all the times she had (unsuccessfully) made advances on Yasha, but now knows her history, it's very impactful and another aspect of her CharacterDevelopment.
-->'''Yasha:''' I ran away because I’m a coward.
-->'''Beau:''' No, you’re a survivor.
* After a somewhat distant exchange with her assumed-father the Gentleman, Jester uses Sending again to contact her mother, who reacts with much more enthusiasm and relief that her daughter is okay. The two easily fall into conversation about recent happenings, with Marion signing off by assuring her "little sapphire" that she is proud of her.
* Fjord, freaked out over the temporary loss of his powers, goes back to Wursh the Tapper for another talk. They have a heart-to-heart while Yasha ushers Jester and Caduceus out so that they can have some privacy.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episode 62: Domestic Respite]]
* Jester paints a field of wildflowers in Yasha's room. Yasha loves it and moves her bed around so she can see it while lying down. Crosses over into SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny when she reveals that she [[RunningGag drew a dick in there somewhere.]]
* The group is dedicated to reuniting Nott and Yeza with their son, and making sure Luke is in a safe place during the war. Jester contacts Shakäste and asks if he's willing to travel with Luke out of Alfield, and he agrees; saying that no monetary compensation is needed for helping a young boy return to his family.
* When Caleb confronts Fjord about his fake accent, he insists that whatever it is Fjord is hiding from them, the Mighty Nein would not abandon him over it. Caleb offers his own painful secrets so Fjord might be more comfortable opening up, and then respects Fjord's wishes of needing more time to prepare himself for coming clean to Caleb about his past. The two end the conversation by affirming their friendship and holding hands (echoing their original blood pact in episode 44).

[[folder: Episode 63]]
* The Mighty Nein come before the Bright Queen to report what they discovered at the Overcrow and with their scrying. They haven't been Xhorhas very long, but Essik Theylas is already willing to vouch for them. He's evidently become rather fond of them.
