History Heartwarming / Smallville

** Lex [[BatmanColdOpen is shot]], which sends him into a coma. He wakes up in bed with a very pregnant Lana, and his mother's ghost informs him that this life is what he could have in reality if he makes the right choices. Think ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'', with the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come showing a ''good'' future instead. Lex also has a young son, and Lana informs him that he broke off from Lionel seven years ago, leaving them not the richest people but certainly very happy ones. She also says he tends to overspend just to give her and his son, Alexander, the best of the world and that is why she loves him so much. Lex and Alexander go and admire some Christmas trees when they meet [[FanPreferredCouple Chloe and Clark]], [[AbsolutelyHappened happily married]]. Alexander rushes over...

* "Trespass": Clark reinstates that [[FanPreferredCouple he and Chloe]] are JustFriends. At the end of the episode, Chloe and Jimmy kiss and make up.

* "Wrath": Chloe confronts Lana and reveals she disabled Lana's spying equipment. Shows again why Chloe and Clark is the FanPreferredCouple.

[[folder:Season one]]
* A small one, but finally hearing Clark finally refer to Lex as "my best friend" in the episode ''Hug''.
* In the episode ''Nicodemus'', Martha recounts the moment that she met Jonathan Kent. That scene was insanely heartwarming.
* In ''Reaper'', Lex arranges, at Clark's request, so that the Metropolis Sharks come to Smallville and play a little scrimmage for Mr. Fordman, who was slowly dying, with his son as their quarterback.
* ''Obscura'': Clark digs Chloe out after she is buried alive.
-->'''Chloe''': I knew it was you! It's always you! (She hugs him)
** At the episode, Clark ''finally'' gathers the courage to ask Chloe to go to the Spring Formal with him. [[spoiler:Sadly, this only leads to many seasons of unresolved ShipTease.]]

[[folder:Season two]]
* In "Lineage", Clark earlier blew up at Chloe for prying into his life when someone claiming to be his mother arrives in Smallville, and touched a sore spot when he told Chloe to look for her own mother, not knowing [[ParentalAbandonment she left her at a young age]]. The two make up again, after Clark apologizes, and he comforts her over her MissingMom:
-->'''Chloe:''' It's just hard thinking that you weren't ever good enough to love.
-->'''Clark (''puts his hand on hers''):''' Don't ever think that.
* In ''Ryan'', when the titular character hands Clark his comics and says:

* ''Rosetta'': Christopher Reeve guest stars as Dr. Swann. It's just heartwarming enough just to see him interact with Welling, and they even play the classic Superman opening march.
* Despite the DownerEnding, there's the fact that Clark [[spoiler:under the influence of red Kryptonite, ''still wants Lana with him.'']]

[[folder:Season three]]
* Clark finally returning to home in ''Phoenix''.
* Almost every scene involving Lex and Clark throughout the Season 3 episode ''Asylum'' can be considered both this, but also a TearJerker as well. The biggest heartwarming scene, however, comes during their final scene together at the end of the episode.
--->'''Lex:''' "You know Clark, there is one thing I'll never forget."
--->'''Clark:''' "What's that?"
--->'''Lex:''' "How important your friendship is to me."
* In ''Delete'', someone who is going to be exposed by Chloe's reports [[NightmareFuel mind controls Clark into running Chloe down with a truck]]. [[TearJerker She thinks Clark did it on purpose because she worked for Lionel before, starts to cry and say she could only apologise so many times]]. The heartwarming bit comes when they acknowledge they both have their weak moments (how Clark treated her in ''Exile'' while under the effects of red kryptonite) and make up, with Chloe promising not to pry into his life and take him for who he is.
* In ''Truth'', Chloe inhales a truth gas that makes it impossible for anyone to lie to her, but is also killing her. After finding out, Chloe sets out to uncover Clark secret, even though Clark himself is immune to the truth gas' effects. Clark manages to track down a dose of antidote and injects her as she passes out. Kryptonite-induced powers are known to bring the worst out of everyone, but Chloe fears that it only brought out her true self and tearfully apologises, and admits she is afraid that she has used up all her apologies, especially after what happened in ''Delete''. Clark says that it won't be today and gives her a long, heartfelt hug.
* Most of ''Memoria'' is [[DarkerAndEdgier quite dark]], but the end was very heartwarming, with a touch of TearJerker.
--->'''Clark''': When I was in the tank, I saw my earliest memory.... her only fear was that no one would love me.

--->'''Martha''': You didn't, Clark. Your first word was "Lara". Your father and I could never figure out what it meant. Now we know.
--->'''Clark''': I wish she could have met you. To see what a great mum I have.

[[folder:Season four]]
* ''Crusade'': Chloe's video letter to Clark.
-->You were always the one good thing in my life, and if I didn't tell you enough, I care about you more than you'll ever know. Please find out who did this, Clark. You're the only one who can.
* ''Gone'': Chloe is [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt found to be alive]], and is reunited with Lois and Clark.
* ''Pariah'': It does have a DownerEnding, but it is still very heartwarming to see Chloe going to Clark who is mourning at [[spoiler:Alicia's grave]], showing her support and saying that she would always be here and subtly dropping hints that she already knows about his secret and isn't going to leave him for that.

* ''Blank'': Clark with complete amnesia does cause a lot of funny moments. It is Chloe who shepherds him around, covers up for his accidents (he forgot about his powers too) and actively tries to keep him from revealing his secret to anyone (after spending some time trying to uncover that herself) that is heartwarming.
* Hearing Lex tell Clark that he considers him to be closer than any blood brother at the end of Season Four's "Lucy", after Clark asks him if he misses having a sibling--to which Lex answers that he ''used'' to, until he met Clark--can definitely be considered one of these.

[[folder:Season five]]
* ''Arrival'': Chloe is accidentally transported to the arctic along with Clark as the Fortress of Solitude is formed. Clark is trapped in Jor-El's simulation when she comes in, but when she gets closer Jor-El freezes her half to death with a small blizzard. As she collapses, Clark hears her plea for help, breaks out with ThePowerOfFriendship and rushes her to a hospital.

-->'''Chloe''': (shivering) I know you can run faster than a speeding bullet, Clark... Take me along for the ride.

-->'''Chloe''': [[InnocentAliens I think you are so amazing.]] [[TheCape You save people's lives and take]] [[ThinkNothingOfIt zero credit for it]]...[[HumansAreFlawed If more humans are like you]], [[TheParagon the world would be a better place]].

*** [[spoiler:Of course, after that, he immediately rushes to Lana in pursue of a relationship for the...god knows how many times, in a particularly [[{{Narm}} narmy]] scene.]]
** Literally half the Chloe/Clark scenes in season five are made of heartwarming after she told him she knows his secret.
* ''Splinter'': Clark gets mad at Chloe for telling his secret to Lionel Luthor. [[spoiler:Silver kryptonite has made him extremely paranoid.]] When it is all over:
-->'''Chloe''': Look, Clark, I understand that you haven't been yourself - but you know that I would never tell Lionel your secret. I'd never tell anyone. I'd die before I'd ever betray you.
* ''Solitude'': Martha is infected by a kryptonian virus, and she tells Clark how much she loves him and that she would willingly give her life for him. [[spoiler:It is all a set-up courtsey of Brainiac.]] When it is over, they had another talk ending in a long hug.
** When [[spoiler:Brainiac]] turns against Clark and incapacitates him with a pieces of green kryptonite, despite being almost frozen to death the last time she was at the Fortress, Chloe immediately rushes to Clark's aid when she figures out that Fine is a bad guy. Pretty [[{{Awesome/Smallville}} awesome]] when you realize she basically saved him from kryptonite, [[spoiler:Brainiac and ''Zod'']]. She didn't escape completely unscathed, and stayed at the Kents, wrapped up and thawing out in front of a fire:

-->'''Chloe''': You left your key in the cave. Seriously, Clark, you've got to be more careful. I mean, if I can get up there, anyone can.

* ''[[ChristmasEpisode Lexmas]]'': [[HoldYourHippogriffs Oh, dear]] [[{{God}} Rao]], '''''[[UpToEleven LEXMAS]]'''''. Lex [[BatmanColdOpen is shot]], which sends him into a coma. He wakes up in bed with a very pregnant Lana, and his mother's ghost informs him that this life is what he could have in reality if he makes the right choices. Think [[{{Literature/AChristmasCarol}} A Christmas Carol]], with the ghost of Christmas Yet To Come showing a ''good'' future instead. He also has a young son, and Lana informs him that he broke off from Lionel seven years ago, leaving them not the richest people, but certainly very happy ones. She also says he tends to overspend just to give her and his son, Alexander, the best of the world and that is why she loves him so much. Lex and Alexander go and admire some Christmas trees when they meet [[FanPreferredCouple Chloe and Clark]], [[AbsolutelyHappened happily married]]. Alexander rushes over...
-->'''Alexander''': Uncle Clark, uncle Clark! Make me fly!

** Clark is a full-fledged reporter and Chloe is a writer; they traded snarks lovingly while talking to Lex. Chloe reveals her next book is about Luthorcorp and couldn't have done it without him and gives him a hug.
** Back to reality, Chloe calls Clark because she needs to distribute the Christmas presents donated to the Daily Planet and the drivers are on strike. Knowing he is faster than a speeding bullet, she jams a Santa hat on him in a cute little scene and tugs at his heartstrings until he takes off in SuperSpeed, running from house to house, delivering the gifts before he met a very drunk SantaClaus. He talked him out of jumping off the building, and he wanders off.
** In the dream, Lex and Lana go the the Christmas party at the Kents, where the senator Jonathan Kent announces Lex is receiveing the Kansas Humanitarian Award for his work towards the homeless. He also tells Lex he is the finest man he ever knew and would be very proud to have him as a son. Lex marvels that he has never felt happier. Then...inevitably, the [[{{TearJerker/Smallville}} tear jerking]] DreamApocalypse comes by...
*** It still has a good ending for others, though; SantaClaus comes to Chloe's office, and vanishes into thin air along with all the remaining presents when her back is turned, convincing her that Santa really exists.
* ''Vengeance'': Clark has disappeared and Martha is worried that he is in denial of [[spoiler:Jonathan's death]], and went to Chloe to see if she knows anything. While she doesn't, Martha says she is glad that Chloe is there to keep the secret together. Chloe assures her that Clark is going to be fine and they hug.
* ''Tomb'': Chloe, after Clark's encouragement, finally gathers the courage to go visit her mother, who didn't say a word and her face is [[TheUnreveal not shown]], but she strokes her daughter's face gently and they embrace.
* ''Vessel'': A rather serious one when {{Brainiac}} wrecks havoc and is about to release Zod:

-->'''Chloe''': You have to. (''Clark turns to leave'')
-->'''Chloe''': Clark... I don't know if I'm ever gonna see you again. (Cue [[BigDamnKiss Big Damn]] NowOrNeverKiss)

[[folder:Season six]]
* ''Hydro'': Both Lana and Clark demands Chloe to keep secrets from each other, and she is torn between her loyalties and is always blamed when the other finds out something. Clark accuses her of not telling him that [[spoiler:Lana is pregnant with Lex's child]]. She almost starts to cry and Clark feels bad for upsetting her and apologizes with a hug.
* ''Labyrinth'':
** When Clark is finally freed of [[spoiler:his phantom-induced nightmare]], Chloe comes in and he gives her a big hug [[spoiler:because she [[DiedInYourArmsTonight died in his arms in the nightmare]]]]. She looks a little surprised but it is really sweet.

-->'''Chloe''': Oh, is this when I'm supposed to cue the Barry Manilow music?

* ''Trespass'': Clark reinstates that [[FanPreferredCouple Chloe and him]] are JustFriends. At the end of the episode, Chloe and Jimmy kiss and make up.
* ''Freak'': An unusual mix of NightmareFuel and heartwarming:

-->'''Chloe''': Is it pin-point accurate?

* ''Progeny'': More tearjerking than heartwarming, but at the end after Chloe's mother goes back to being fully catatonic, Chloe laments she never got to know her own daughter. Clark tells her he told her everything he knows about Chloe, and that her mother is very proud of her.
* ''Noir'': After Clark rescues Chloe again, Jimmy rushes in and starts babbling that he doesn't understand what happened, but Chloe plants a ShutUpKiss on him. When they hug, Chloe looks at Clark in the shadows and silently says something suspiciously like "[[ShipTease I love you too]]".

[[folder:Season seven]]
* ''Bizarro'': Chloe consoling Clark over [[CreatorsPet Lana's]] [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt supposed death]], how he almost killed Lex and how Bizarro reminds him of the monster he could be and that he is not human. Clark also reassures Chloe that he would be there when she feels right about talking her meteor infection.
* ''Lara'': Clark and Kara share a moment and say they are happy they have each other in their lives. [[KissingCousins Shame they are cousins]].

* ''Wrath'': Chloe confronts Lana and reveals she disabled Lana's spying equipment. Shows again why Chloe and Clark is the FanPreferredCouple.

-->'''Lana''': You believe that I would do that to Clark.
-->'''Chloe''': Not intentionally, but I realize now that [[GoodIsDumb you're capable of it.]] You should just know that [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer I'm not gonna let that happen]].
* ''Blue'': Chloe freaking out a bit when she sees Clark injured [[spoiler:after being depowered by blue kryptonite. Then she frantically stops him from trying to break it because he could saw his fingers off.]]
* ''Gemini'': [[spoiler:Chloe and Jimmy are locked in an elevator with a bomb. Chloe admits she is meteor-infected, but Jimmy gives her a NowOrNeverKiss.]]
* ''Persona'': Bizarro poses as Clark and demands Chloe to help him find a kryptonian shield and gets rough with her when she can't help. When the real Clark gets back, she is initially a little afraid, but when he proves he is real [[RuleOfSymbolism by steping into the sunlight]], she rushes forward and hugs him, saying that he has her seriously worried.
** Clark using said shield to teleport to a kryptonian in hiding and Chloe wishing him good luck as he vanishes.
* ''Siren'': Clark noticing the wound on Chloe's cheek, berating her for taking dangerous jobs and yelling at Oliver for risking her life is heartwarming in his own way.

* ''Fracture'': After dying from the stress of healing Lex from the brink of death, Chloe wakes up and finds Clark watching over her.
-->'''Clark''': Speaking of heartbeats, you didn't have one for over 18 hours.[[note]]For some reason, we don't get to see any BeautifulDreamer moments...shame.[[/note]]

-->'''Clark''': It's 15 hours longer than the last time, Chloe. I've been sitting here, literally, trying to think about what to say at your funeral.

* ''Hero'': Sure, [[spoiler:he did go mildly psycho, but it is at Lex, so who is 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 presented her with a rose. [[spoiler:Pete is the UnluckyChildhoodFriend of Chloe, in case you've forgotten.]]

* ''Traveler'':

-->'''Chloe''': Out of all the planets across the universe you decided to send your only son to this one, to Earth! You trusted us to protect him! Now please, Jor-El, I need you to trust me. [[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove I love your son!]] He's in danger and he needs our help!
** This is also a callback to ''Wrath'', as in this episode, Chloe literally goes to the end of the earth to save the man she loves.
** Kara getting her powers and memories back and immediately going off to rescue Clark from the facility he's captured in.

* ''Descent'': When [[spoiler:Lionel]] dies, Chloe comes over to rescue Clark from being drowned in {{Angst}}.

-->'''Chloe''': Clark —

-->'''Chloe''': They did die for you, Clark. But ultimately, they died for all of us. There was a reason those men were in your life — each of them added something to the man that you are today.
* ''Sleeper'': Jimmy coming to Chloe's rescue when she is tortured for information. [[DistractedByTheSexy Now... how does she look so beautiful when she is so messed up...?]]
* ''Apocalypse'': Clark refuses to go to Krypton's past and stop Brainiac from erasing him for history because he thinks all he did is bring pain to Earth. While he {{Angst}}s, Chloe chases after him and try to convince that he has done much good and is not responsible for the bad.

* ''Arctic'': After Chloe has been rendered catatonic by [[spoiler:Brainiac's attack]], Clark visits her at the hospital, holds her hand and says he is sorry for letting her confront [[PhysicalGod Kara]] [[spoiler:(Brainiac in disguise)]] alone.

[[folder:Season eight]]
* ''Odyssey'': Clark breaking into [[TheAlcatraz Black Creek]] to rescue Chloe [[BroughtDownToNormal without his powers]], and they had a big hug when he finally found her.

* ''Plastique'':
-->'''Davis''': (to Chloe) If you found real love, hold on to it. And if anyone say that it is cliche I'll personally kick their asses.
** Chloe talking to Clark about her engagement to Jimmy. It is both very sad and heartwarming - Clark is still trying to hide his jealousy, but he gets over it and says that her happiness is one of the most important things to him in the world. [[HarsherInHindsight Alas...]]

* ''Toxic'':

* ''Commitment'': Clark giving an impromptu speech at Chloe and Jimmy's engagement party.
* ''Identity'': Mixed with [[{{Awesome/Smallville}} awesome]]. Comes with soaring music.
-->'''Chloe''': Look, when it comes to your secret I've never gone against your wishes, and I understand what a huge leap this is for you, but that picture doesn't reveal anything about Clark Kent. It simply gives what the world something desperately needs right now... a hero.
* ''Legion'': After Clark saved the world when it would be a lot easier (physically, not emotionally) to kill [[ApocalypseMaiden Chloe]]:

* ''Infamous'': More like NightmareFuel, but Chloe telling [[spoiler:Doomsday]] to stay away from Clark?
* ''Turbulence'': Chloe actually stopped [[spoiler:Davis from morphing into '''[[SuperpoweredEvilSide Doomsday]]''']] with just a hand on his shoulder. Now that is some {{Superman}}-calibre CooldownHug... okay, it is not exactly a hug, but the spirit is there.
* ''Hex'':
-->'''Clark''': Look, I don't know —
-->'''Chloe''' (transformed into Lois by [[LiteralGenie Zatanna]]): Okay, Clark, you don't have to know. If you won't believe in yourself, then let me believe in you. Okay? I know that deep inside, you don't wanna just be a normal guy, sitting behind a desk, reporting on disasters, while you could be out there stopping them! Now use the power you feel. The world needs you. (''Clark turns, but a golden flash makes him turn back to see Chloe has been transformed back'')
-->'''Clark''': Chloe? But that's -

[[folder:Season Nine]]
* ''Savior'': Clark, having given up his humanity to become the Blur permanently, still makes time to feed Shelby.

* ''Rabid'': When Lois gets bitten, Clark takes care of her as best he can before having to leave her with Ollie. This is before they get together, but it proves that, despite their usual bickering, he cares about her a lot.
* ''Echo'': After realizing Ollie tried to kill himself, Clark instantly becomes as supporting as he can. For the last few episodes, Clark has given Ollie nothing but crap about how far he's fallen, so when he realizes just how far and how much its effected his friend, he instantly agrees to not tell anyone and tries to be there for him.
* ''Crossfire'': Ollie adopts a sidekick. After seeing Mia Deaden, a cagefighter, being manhandled and later forced to prostitute himself, he recognizes the same dark spiral he's seen in himself time and time again, so he pays her for the night, lets her drive his car, then instead of paying her for sex, pays for some sparring, and ofers to pay off the pimp who keeps harassing ad threatening her. Then, after she's forced to betray his trust, he forgives her and takes her back in as his protege. [[CanonDiscontinuity Too bad nothing happened with this.]]
* ''Kandor'': Chloe meeting [[spoiler:clone Jor-El]] and telling him how Clark's upbringing at the Kents made him into the most amazing person she has ever met.
** Zod and Jor-El's entire relationship, before it went south. Zod outright refuses to listen to he order of the council, based solely on Jor-El's political views. He then risks losing his career to protect Jor-El from being punished for this, despite the fact that the military is all he has left following the deaths of his wife and child. Then, finally, we find out WHY Zod became the monster that destroyed Krypton: He wanted Jor-El to use the cloning technology Krypton had to bring back his dead son, just so he could hold him one more time. Also doubles as a TearJerker.
* ''Idol'': After her trust in the Blur is shaken by copycats making mistakes, Lois's faith is renewed when she starts to believe Clark is the Blur. Instead of outright telling him, she tries to subtly tell him to confide in her. And, when the corrupt DA starts publicly calling for him to confess, Lois springs up to convince them not to. In the end, she tries to tell Clark not to save her so he can protect his secret. All in all, the whole episode showed just how much Lois cares about Clark, and ends with them finally kissing.
* ''Pandora'': During Lois' time in the future, she's about to get into trouble with the Kandorian dictators, but a powerless Clark saves her by giving up his father's watch. The only thing left of his father, and his most prized possession, and he was willing to give it up to save Lois. Later, when Chloe and Oliver's resistance fighters shun Clark for abandoning them, Lois tells him not to explain, as she's just happy to see him. The two then consummate their relationship for the first time, and Clark later dies to send Lois back to her time.

* The entire relationship between the Justice Society of America. Despite acing countless charges, they all stuck together, refusing to give into the pressure of the police, and to keep fighting. Then, after the're broken up and Kent Nelson's on the brink of insanity, Carter Hall sticks with him to keep him safe.
** John Jones/J'onn J'onz' concerns for Chloe being cooped up at the Watchtower. While Chloe reassures him that it isn't a problem, John replies he's only telling her because he's concerned about her, and with the loss of his people on Mars, he considers her, Clark and Oliver his family on Earth.
* ''Conspiracy'': When Zod gets shot, Clark chooses to save his life, despite knowing that Zod could very well become a monster, simply because its what Jor-El would want him to do.
* ''Upgrade'': Metallo, feeling bad that he nearly killed her when he was insane, makes a point to protect Lois to the best of his ability. Meanwhile, Kal (Clark on Red K) and Zod team up to destroy Chloe's Kryptonite stockpile, all the while acting like brothers. Kal, usually a selfish jerk who only cares about himself and sex, even tries to give Zod a present: Taking him to the Fortress so he could speak to Jor-El. It doesn't work, but its the thought that counts.
* ''Hostage'': Clark telling Chloe that "the world needs you. '''I''' need you." It is also a callback to ''Apocalypse'' when Chloe tells Clark "We need you! '''I''' need you!"
** Also, Martha set up her own secret identity, became a master manipulator, takes over Checkmate, and by extention, the entire Government's attempts at studying aliens, all so she could protect Clark.
* ''Salvation'': After Lois realizes Zod had tricked her, she asks the Blur, who she can barely see, if he could ever forgive her for being so foolish. He replies by passionately kissing her before darting off to stop Zod. When he leaves, Lois ''instantly'' realizes it was Clark, confirming her previous suspicion, setting up the first four episodes of the next season where Lois goes out of her way to protect Clark's secret, without him realizing.

[[folder:Season ten]]
* The end of ''Homecoming''. The handling of the development of Lois and Clark's relationship is glorious.
* ''Isis'': Finally some long-undue healthy moments. Clark and Oliver decide [[spoiler:they could trust Tess and tell her that. She hurriedly leaves the room so that they won't see her tears of joy of being accepted. And at the end, she brought a copy of ''Peter Pan'' to Alexander, and it is wonderful how someone whose entire emotion range used to be "PsychoticSmirk" could become a loving mother to the boy.]]
** Clark finally opening up and telling Lois (who actually already knows) his secret. Followed immediately by her flinging herself at him, knocking them both into a pile of paper, kissing him and saying "What took you so long?". Made all the more heartwarming when one considers that she is literally the only person he ''ever'' tells when not under duress.
*** Technically, he did the same thing with Lana... only to scramble for the ResetButton when she proves she is TooDumbToLive with it.
* ''Icarus'': [[spoiler:Carter's HeroicSacrifice allows him to be with his lover Shayera. Now they can begin their reincarnation and [[BecauseDestinySaysSo eventually reunite]]. By the time the series ended, they could very well be newly-born babies at that point.]]
* ''Collateral'':
-->'''Clark''': How'd you do it? Trust me, I mean - back then, before you found out.

-->'''Chloe''': I guess that's the true test of believing in someone -- knowing that their lies are there to protect you. It's not really trust if you ask someone to explain themselves.

* ''Beacon'': [[spoiler:After Martha survives an assassination, Chloe visits her at the hospital.]]

-->'''Chloe''': You know, growing up, I never really had much of a mother figure to look up to -- until I met you. You really taught me what it meant to take care of the people that I love.

** When Clark is pessimistic over a vote regarding the SuperRegistrationAct, Chloe shows him short videos from nine {{Muggles}} voicing their support for superheroes, about how they are protected and inspired, about how much they appreciate the Blur doing what he does; after a several-minute-long montage of these, the girls tell Clark that they received several hundred ''thousand'' of these videos.
--> ''I remember what Metropolis was like before he showed up. You couldn't even walk the streets. But since the Blur came, we have hope. I just wanna let The Blur know... there are still people that support him.''
* ''Fortune'': When the second half of [[spoiler:Chloe's marriage certificate]] is revealed, and apparently [[spoiler:not only are she and Oliver now married, but Oliver is leaving to go with her on her quest to find more superheroes!]]

* ''Scion'': Pretty much all of Clark and [[spoiler:Conner]]'s interactions.
* ''Kent'': Tess and Emil briefly discuss the [[EvilTwin Clark]] [[AlternateUniverse Luthor]] situation, and he points out that she seemed tempted by Luthor's offer to kill [[ArchnemesisDad Lionel]]. He says that that "doesn't sound like the Tess [he] knows" and, in a rare (public) moment of weakness, Tess admits that maybe she isn't the person Emil thinks she is. He just smiles and says that maybe she is; she just doesn't believe it yet. Given how hard she's been [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor trying]] to be the good guy, to have someone acknowledge, even if she herself doesn't quite see it, that she has gotten there is a wonderful moment.
* ''[[GrandFinale Finale]]'': [[spoiler:Lois and Clark discussing their upcoming wedding, the vows, the little Oliver and Chloe moments, and Clark walking Lois down the aisle]].

** Jor-El's entire speech in the finale, when removing Clark's Inhibition against {{flight}}, and the montage of saves throughout the entire series. Comes with the revelation that [[spoiler:for all the trouble with Jor-El, the entirety of Clark's trials have been to save everyone he did, allowing him to grow into the hero the world needed]]. Comes with a CMOA when he gives an [[WorldOfCardboardSpeech epic]] punch to [[spoiler:Darkseid]] before flying to the Fortress to retrieve the iconic suit.

[[folder:Season eleven]]
* ''Haunted'': Chloe telling Clark she's pregnant; Clark takes her for a flight and she said she plans to leave for a while to safely deliver her baby. Clark says he understands seeing how Jor-El, Lara, [[MuggleFosterParents Jonathan and Martha]] did everything to keep him safe.
* Lois, so pissed off about [[spoiler: Tess's predicament]], ''[[ArmorPiercingSlap slapping]]'' Lex unconscious becomes this if you think it through. The two women had an extremely rocky relationship, with Lois quick to accuse Tess of betrayal as late into the show as "Dominion." But despite this they still, in some sense of the word, were ''friends'', and the fact that Lois is so angry about the situation becomes heartwarming because of it.

* The entire relationship between the Justice Society of America. Despite acing countless charges, they all stuck together, refusing to give into the pressure of the police, and to keep fighting. Then, after the're broken up and Kent Nelson's on the brink of insanity, Carter Hal sticks with him to keep him safe.

** Clark finally opening up and telling Lois (who actually already knows) his secret. Followed immediately by her flinging herself at him, knocking them both into a pile of paper, kissing him and saying "What took you so long?" Made all the more heartwarming when one considers that she is literally the only person he ''ever'' tells when not under duress.

[[folder:season one]]

-->'''Clark''': Speaking of heartbeats, you didn't have one for over 18 hours.[[hottip:*:For some reason, we don't get to see any BeautifulDreamer moments...shame.]]

** Also, a very heartwarming time is Lois consoling Clark after Lana leaves him a [[DearJohnLetter Dear John DVD]].

-->'''Chloe''' (transformed into Lois by [[LiteralGenie Zatanna]]): Okay, Clark, you don't have to know. If you won't believe in yourself, then let me believe in you. Okay? I know that deep inside, you don't wanna just be a normal guy, sitting behind a desk, reporting on disasters, while you could be out there stopping them! Now use the power you feel. The world needs you.

* ''Savior'': Clark, having given up his humanity to become the Blur permanently, still makes time to feed Shelby/Krypto.

* ''Crossfire'': Ollie adopts a sidekick. After seeing Mia Deaden, a cagefighter, being manhandled and later forced to prostitute himself, he recognizes the same dark spiral he's seen in himself time and time again, so he pays her for the night, lets her drive his car, then instead of paying her for sex, pays for some sparring, and ofers to pay off the pimp who keeps harassing ad threatening her. Then, after she's forced to betray his trust, he forgives her and takes her back in as his protege. Too bad nothing happened with this.

*** The anguish and desperation in her voice and expression is just...beautiful.

* ''Savior'': Clark, having given up his humanity to become the Blur permanently, still makes time to feed Shelby/Krpyo.

[[folder:Season nine]]
Having [[JumpingTheShark Jumped The Shark]], good moments are hard to come by in season nine.

* ''Kandor'': Chloe meeting [[spoiler:clone Jor-El]] and telling him how Clark's upbringing at the Kents made him into the most amazing person she has ever met.

** &Technically, he did the same thing with Lana... only to scramble for the ResetButton when she proves she is TooDumbToLive with it.

[[folder:Unsorted]]* Clark finally opening up and telling Lois (who actually already knows) his secret. Followed immediately by her flinging herself at him, knocking them both into a pile of paper, kissing him and saying "What took you so long?" Made all the more heartwarming when one considers that she is literally the only person he ''ever'' tells when not under duress.
* Hearing Lex tell Clark that he considers him to be closer than any blood brother at the end of Season Four's "Lucy", after Clark asks him if he misses having a sibling--to which Lex answers that he ''used'' to, until he met Clark--can definitely be considered one of these.
[[/folder]]

* In ''Ryan'', when the titular character hands Clark his comics and says:
-->'''Ryan''': I don't need them any more. I've got you.
