* [[spoiler: Felix betrayed you to save you from a dangerous woman named Vallory, even knowing there was a chance that he'd be killed. So he left a large amount of money, some grenades and a multi-elemental gun for Fiona (and a watch, that's probably not just a watch, for Sasha).]]

** Doubly heartwarming for any players of Borderlands 2 or the Pre-Sequel: [[spoiler: The triple-barrelled derringer's purple-rarity, and purple weapons are very rare and valuable (although not as rare as legendaries). Also, it's elemental and comes with shock for draining shields, fire for burning anything that isn't a robot and corrosive for killing robots. And Jakobs ''never'' made any elemental weapons, unless they were aftermarket jobs-in this case, the weapon's good enough to be useful for any situation, and as it's aftermarket, could be a unique weapon too!]]

* Surprisingly, August [[spoiler: isn't mad about the con. In fact, he asks Fiona on advice on how to get back with her sister. Let us remind again that he literally killed a man for dishonesty, and attempted to shoot Sasha, and would have shot Fiona as well, and has now taken Sasha hostage. For a ruthless loan shark, he's surprisingly less of a psychopath than Vasquez.]]

* When Rhys and Vaughn are ambushed by Bandits, they are only saved when they [[SummonBiggerFish summon a Hyperion Loader Bot to fight them off]].

[[{{note}} Admittedly, he quickly says "Probably not", but likely because he didn't want to [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude saddle his future kid with a name like "Loader Bot"]]. The fact he even considered it, though, really shows [[IOweYouMyLife how much he owed the Loader Bot for saving his and Vaughn's collective asses]].]]

[[AC:Zer0 Sum]]

* Rhys can have one when he refuses to betray Vaughn to Vasquez in exchange for his old job. It becomes doubly so when Vasquez doubles the offer by offering him five million dollars.
* Rhys and Zer0 in an elevator, with the former complimenting the latter that he's really cool (which he definitely is). Even a badass like Zer0 has his sweet side when he responds with a "<3" on his face.
* Rhys and Sasha's pinky swear is cute in spite of how she was smacking a corpse with his baton (which isn't really uncommon in this universe)
