History Heartwarming / Smallville

** Sure, he did go mildly psycho, but it is at Lex, so who's complaining? The return of Pete Ross]provides many heartwarming moments, like hacking into Lex's computer to protect Chloe, the "thank you" after Clark saves him, and the final hug between Chloe and him after he presents her with a rose. Pete is the UnluckyChildhoodFriend of Chloe, in case you've forgotten.

-->'''Lana''': That night, at the cemetery when I introduced you to my mom and dad, you told me that I would never be alone, that my mom would always be watching over me. If we're in each other's hearts, Clark, I will always be with you...no matter what. I love you.
(''Lana leaves, crying'')
-->'''Clark''': (whispers) I love you.

** Creator/ChristopherReeve guest stars as Dr. Swann. It's just heartwarming enough just to see him interact with Tom Welling, and they even play the classic ''Film/{{Superman}}'' opening march.

-->'''Chloe:''' Thanks for not giving up on me.
-->'''Clark:''' I'd never give up on you, Chloe. You know that.
-->'''Chloe:''' I just hope that if it turned out that there was no other choice, you would choose to do the right thing.
-->'''Clark:''' What choice would that be?
-->'''Chloe:''' To do what's best for the world... and not for me. Know that I'd understand.
-->'''Clark:''' Well, as long as I'm around, that's never gonna happen.

* During an interview between Creator/TomWelling and Creator/MichaelRosenbaum for the latter's show ''Podcast/InsideOfYou'', the two discuss how Tom had to get up very early in the morning and drive down to the set, and how the rest of the cast (Tom thinks it was John Schneider (Jonathan) who spearheaded the notion) signed a letter to the network requesting that Tom be given a driver because they were afraid Tom would end up in an accident and the show would end as a result.

** Alicia takin a bulelt for Clark to protect his secret.

** And what makes this all extra heartwarming (but also a tearjerker) is that this really is what Lex wants deep down. He doesn't just want Lana, he also wants to still be friends with Clark and Chloe, and the respect of Jonathan. And it's clear that he values these things much more than his privileged life. [[CouldHaceAvoidedThisPlot What makes it sad is that Lex very well could have made this a reality if he didn't let his fear of loss take over.]]
