* Dipper pointing out that Mabels brand of silliness was the real key to unlocking Gravity Falls past, since it's true founder was similar to her. Upon being woken up from his peanut-buttery tomb, Quentin Trembley commends them both for their achievment, and even makes Mabel a congressman (he can't actually do that, but it's a nice thought), and gives Dipper the Presidents Key, which can open every lock in the country.

* Robbie and Tambry hooking up. Not only do they make a surprisingly adorable couple, but they actually help one another become better people: Tambry finally steps out of her phone-devoted shell, and Robbie is not only genuinely happy for the first time in ages, but he actually manages to show warmth to his other friends. Even moreso, according to ''Literature/GravityFallsJournal3'', it turns out that Love God's potions only last three hours and its effects only remain if the couple's love is real. Since they were still together ten hours before Mabel learned the truth, that means that they actually ''are'' in love and not just forced together by the potion, which also takes away the FamilyUnfriendlyAesop the episode displayed.

*** How about the fact that they gave him their time wish as a present? No, really. Think about it. They had the chance to wish for ANYTHING they wanted. Anything. Dipper could have finally figured out the mysteries of Gravity Falls. Mabel could finally find the perfect summer crush. But neither of them think about either of that for a split second. The only thing they got on their minds is Soos' happiness. That, right there, is true friendship.

to:

* A subtle moment: when Dipper feels like barfing from excitement at having met the Author, Mabel runs over to him and rubs his back. Considering this was meant to be a joke scene and there was no need for this little extra it shows the dedication the show has to reinforcing the twins' relationship.

** They end up using the film from Dipper's last disposable camera to take photos of their day on the lake with Stan and Soos. It's a very touching family bonding moment, and considering the general supernatural nature of most of their mementos of the summer, it's probably one of the few they could share with their parents when they returned home at the end of the series.

* Twice during this episode, Stan calls Mabel "sweetie." Given how salty he usually is, it's incredibly sweet. One of those times, an offscreen Mabel shoots a rubber arrow at his head. Stan isn't even mad, and just laughs it off and tells her not to shoot in the house.




to:

* When you remember that Stan tells all three stories in-universe, the way the twins are portrayed is incredibly sweet. In the first story, Dipper is the voice of reason that Stan ''should've'' listened to, and both he and Mabel help save the day by befriending the Hand Witch. In the second, Mabel is so important to Waddles, he gives up his superintelligence for her. In the third, Mabel gets to be the big hero and face her fear head-on.

* Melody and Soos. Their interactions are so awkward and cute together. After Soos (accidentally) gets a date with her, she gives him two quarters so he can keep riding the train ride at the mall.
* Even better, Soos doesn't win Melody over with deliberate flirting or tactics he learned from the game -- he charms her just by [[BeYourself being himself]] and [[YouWereTryingTooHard just having a normal conversation with her]].

* For another small one, Wendy spends the entire B-plot snarking at Stan -- but when he falls out of the window, she immediately offers to grab his orthopedic back pillow, for which he thanks her.

* Amazingly enough, outside the events of the show, ''Bill Cipher'' arguably gets one. One of Bill's quotes [[AllThereInTheManual from the Reddit AMA]] isn't especially [[CrowningMomentOfFunny funny]], [[BlackComedy darkly humorous]], or NightmareFuel, but rather talks about how being creative and original isn't something you can just buy. A ''villainous dream-triangle'' actually gave advice that seems like it would be from a website of meaningful quotes. Just try saying this quote to a fellow Faller when the opportunity arises and ''then'' reveal who said it.:

While it's covered up by the usual Grunkle Stan bluster, it's so clear that he loves Mabel intensely and hates to see her sad, and is willing to go the extra mile to make her happy... like threaten the bus driver. And it's not just him, Ford backs him up threatening the driver with his gun.
