** It's a lot more heartwarming when looking at how Chase and Miranda conduct the conversation in the first place. Chase first gave Miranda space to think on things before meeting her, and instead of jumping on any Jealousy tropes courtesy of other romantic media, the two recognize the reasons why things happened and talk it over calmly without so much as yelling, and Chase validates Miranda's decision to go out with Jodie with his saying, "I don't blame you for anything." The talk itself was still somewhat tense, but with the way it ended, Miranda still cares for Chase from how she accepts the possibility of his "using other one-liners" to talk with her in the future.

It's clear they both understand where the other is coming from (Chase could not reasonably contact Miranda and risk dying on her again, and Miranda had to move on somehow).

* Despite her standoffishness, Yasiman gets one. When Miranda is lamenting that they are merely ‘holding the line’, Yaz refers to Miranda and her peers as the Vangard’s ‘Shield’, and says that maybe they just need a better sword, all in a way that comes across as supportive. Considering that Miranda seems to have lost most of her hope, this means something.
