** Furthermore, '''none''' of the guests at the party so much as raises an eyebrow at Jamal's edit of the song (granted, they may have been too caught up in the music to notice, but still...). Only Lucious seems upset at his son's declaration.

* Hakeem apologizing to his new lead singer for his advances and promising it will not happen again, going so far as to [[spoiler: tell his driver to take her home and hail a cab for himself]]. He may love the ladies, but he genuinely respects someone's space.

* While the context is indeed creepy, Rhonda [[spoiler:helping out Andre with digging up Vernon's body, even if it could get her caught is indeed heartwarming.]]

* [[DudeNotFunny After a street rap opponent blatantly went too far making a poor taste reference about her late father]], [[BerserkButton Freda pulls out her gun with the obvious intent of killing him]] [[BigDamnHeroes until Lucious steps in and prevents any bloodshed,]] [[EarnYourHappyEnding followed by his pleas to her to get outta the hood life for the better]]

* After spending all of season two thus far at odds with the rest of his family, Jamal's completely joyous reaction [[spoiler: when Rhonda tells him she and Andre are having a baby]] is adorable. Complete with him almost going full Squee when he hears Rhonda call him [[spoiler: Uncle Jamal.]]

* The reason behind Olivia leaving Lola. [[spoiler:She was trying to protect her from her abusive ex, Reggie. And she knew that Jamal was a good man and would take care of her.]]

* Even though Cookie initially reacted badly to knowing Andre has bipolar disorder, she quickly gets over it, comforts her son and tries to learn more about the said disorder.
