* "Rage Against the Vaccine":
** Fry continues to dote on Leela while she's quarantined with Explovid, bringing her meals and flowers, and doesn't let her cruel remarks faze him because he knows it's just the HatePlague affecting her. Eventually he sacrifices his own health to join her in the angry dome because he missed her that much, leading to him also getting sick and engaging in repeated SlapSlapKiss with her.
** Even if she was also a bit motivated by her affair with Barbados Slim, Labarbara travels all the way to New Orleans because she worried about Hermes going on his voodoo quest alone, and she still appreciates her husband's intelligence.

* Zapp shows surprising humanity: first he tries (and fails unfortunately) to save Kif from being sucked into space. Then at the end of the episode he joins in with everyone congratulating Kif on a successful birth. Given Zapp's usual mannerisms and behaviour, these are small but nice moments for him.

** After the professor successfully unfreezes time and Fry and Leela de-age, they remain in the snuggled-up same pose they were in during the last shot of "Meanwhile."
** Leela spends the episode being incredibly supportive and understanding towards Fry, a stark development from her previously cynical and judgmental attitude in earlier seasons. When Fry becomes depressed about his lack of accomplishments, Leela smacks Bender for mocking him and encourages Fry to find a goal. When that goal turns out to be "watch every TV show ever made," she's skeptical, but supports him despite everyone's protests. When her actions turn out to have put Fry in danger, she goes to extremes to get ''All My Circuits'' back on the air and keep it running. Once Fry turns out to be okay, they share a sweet hug and she assures him she's not disappointed that he couldn't complete his goal, even though she promises to "never be supportive again."
