* James going to stab Alyssa as she sleeps... but finding he can't do it, and instead laying down on the floor next to the bed and reaching for her hand.

** When a little girl goes missing from the shop, Alyssa has the opportunity to run, and takes it... and barely makes it a block before she sees the child. Rather than keep walking, she takes the girl by the hand and leads her back into the shop, in plain view of the security guard who caught her stealing. The girl's father is immensely relieved, and can't thank her enough.

* The very end of Episode 5, after Alyssa has ditched James. After barely a day spent away from him, she realizes she misses him and truly cares for him, so she runs back to the cafe where she left him. And, as fate would have it, he went there, too, in hopes of running into her. The looks on their faces when they're reunited is indescribable.
* Alyssa kissing James' face while he drives and they listen to music, singing happily like the kids they are. So cute.

* When Eunice goes to Alyssa's house to find out about Alyssa after she runs away, she's visibly angry and upset to discover just how neglectful Alyssa's mother and stepdad are. ''Especially'' her expression when Alyssa's mum says they have no pictures of her. It's refreshing to see an adult figure out exactly how badly treated Alyssa has been and respond appropriately.
* [[UnreliableNarrator From James' perspective]], his dad comes across as a kinda slovenly dick, but there are a lot of moments where the audience figures out how much his dad loves him:
** Misguided as it may have been, lying to protect James and saying he just wants him home is impressive after getting decked in the face and his car stolen.
** James doesn't believe Eunice when she tells him that his dad has a photo of him in his wallet, but it's actually true.
** James's dad also nonstop defends him, unlike Alyssa's mother and stepdad, who are more than willing to blame her for everything.

For a series about an alleged psychopath and his potential victim, there are a lot of moments that will warm your heart.

!!No spoilers are marked. You have been warned.

* The dancing scene in Episode 3. It's the first time we see our leads actually ''happy'', with James even genuinely smiling.
* James going to stab Alyssa as she sleeps... but finding he can't do it, and instead laying down on the floor next to the bed and reaching for her hand.
* When James says, "I was never Alyssa's protector. She was ''mine''. Having finally murdered a human, I realized something quite important: I was pretty sure I ''wasn't'' a psychopath."
* Alyssa is caught shoplifting. What follows are two immensely sweet moments.
** When a little girl goes missing from the shop, Alyssa has the opportunity to run, and takes it... and barely makes it a block before she sees the child. Rather than keep walking, she takes the girl by the hand and leads her back into the shop, in plain view of the security guard who caught her stealing.

* After a season of Alyssa trying to initiate sex, James finally does so, and the couple begin to make out on the beach. However, Alyssa has a flashback to Clive trying to rape her, and realizes she isn't ready. She quietly asks James if they can wait awhile. In stark contrast to Topher from Episode 3, he immediately agrees without complaint, and lays down next to her so they can [[SleepCute just sleep]].
* The last line of the first season is a bittersweet one. James [[HeroicSacrifice takes full blame for their crime spree so Alyssa can avoid jail]], having finally found someone he truly cares for and can connect with.
-->'''James:''' I finally understand what people mean to each other.
