** Clark finally opening up and telling Lois ([[SecretSecretKeeper who actually already knows]]) his secret. Followed immediately by [[TheGlomp 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.

Armor Piercing Slap is no longer a trope


** Lois, so pissed off about Tess' 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.

** Judging by the look on Tess's face, she didn't know that Clark was going to ask Lois to marry him until Cat told her the two were already engaged. Which means that in the span of about two seconds, she figured that the team would want a party, decided when and where it should happen, and came up with a believable lie to get Lois to the Watchtower without suspecting anything.

** With a stirring speech, Lois encourages Clark to have faith in himself and his judgment, so both of them can break free from the virtual world they're imprisoned in. Clark decides to break the boundaries of what is and isn't possible by taking flight with Lois in his arms, providing a stunning tease for the series finale, when Clark will finally be ready to fly in the real world as well. What makes this scene especially heartwarming is the context. Every time Clark has flown before now, he either hasn't been aware that he's doing it ("Pilot", "Homecoming"), he's focused primarily on saving people's lives ("Vortex", "Lazarus"), or he's been brainwashed ("Crusade"). This is the first time Clark truly gets to enjoy the experience of soaring over a city, and he gets to share it with the love of his life. The way Lois and Clark look at each other in this moment, it's easy to see that it's one of the best experiences of their lives.
** Clark and Chloe taking a look back at their friendship, through all its up and downs:

** While it seems completely obvious in hindsight, the fact that Chloe returned for the wedding is one, given the behind the scenes elements - Allison Mack had chosen to leave when season ten began, and was contracted to appear in five episodes, all of which had been aired by the time that the finale rolled around, and her last scene in her previous appearance in Fortune serving as a rather solid farewell to the character. And then the finale opens with Chloe, assuring the audience that OF COURSE she was going to be at the wedding of her best friend and cousin, did you really think it would happen any other way?
