* Trudy sticking up for her nephews to their father. She's clear that she does sympathize with Fenton's pain of losing Laura and understands where his actions are coming from, but makes him see that his sons' perspective, and encourages him to trust and work with them instead of [[IWorkAlone trying to do everything himself]]. And her words get through to him, as Fenton goes to meet up with the gang and, rather than sending the boys home like he would have before, teams up with them for the final confrontation.
-->'''Trudy''': You're grieving the love of your life. You had to go figure out what happened to her. But when you left, the boys also had to grieve you, too. And I know that you're Super Cop, and you work alone, but right now those boys are just as desperate to find out what happened to their mother as you are. So stop pushing everyone away...and help them.
** The [[TheGlomp Big Damn Hug]] between Joe and Biff once he and Phil are able to get her out of George's secret room where she's locked in. They exchange relieved smiles, she glomps him, and he almost-shyly hugs her back, followed by them both getting flustered.
* The first thing Biff does after the younger kids get back to Wilt's is delightedly say "You're okay!" and [[TheGlomp glomp]] Callie. And Callie thanks everyone for coming together to save her, making sure to give Phil kudos for coming up with the smoke detector idea, while Frank nods emphatically.

* Despite being terrified of the Tall Man and knowing that he'll try to murder him on sight, JB Cox still follows him to the carnival when he realizes with horror that this tall, hulking killer is going there to [[WouldHurtAChild hunt down Joe]]. He finds them in the funhouse JustInTime to pull the man off of Joe, probably saving his life, and tells him to run, picking a fight he knows could very well get him killed to buy Joe time to get away. This kicks off a series-long trend of Joe Hardy being JB's consistent MoralityPet.

* Joe first bonding with JB, who's impressed with his wit and intelligence right out of the gate. When Joe admits during one conversation that his mom is dead, JB [[SincerityMode sincerely apologizes for his loss]] and is able to relate, as he lost his mom at a similar age and still misses her, too. Despite Joe's initial (understandable) mistrust of him, this CommonalityConnection is the moment where Joe visibly warms up to him.

* Laura [[WeHardlyKnewYe doesn't get much screentime before her tragic death]], but what little we do see makes it clear that she's a [[GoodParents good, supportive, and loving mom]], playfully holding Frank back to give Joe a chance to try to beat the video game despite his brother's objections, and being wholly enthusiastic about Frank's pitching for his baseball team, helping him practice and attending all of his games. It's no wonder her husband and both of her sons are absolutely crushed by her death.

* After Joe's held hostage by Ern and both boys are a bit shaken up by the whole ordeal, Fenton cheers them up by sharing a tub of Wilt's famous ice cream with them.
* Joe giving Fenton a comic to read on his long international flight, which makes him smile. When he calls the boys later, he confirms that he did indeed read it cover-to-cover and really liked it.

Despite Joe's initial (understandable) mistrust of him, this CommonalityConnection is the moment where Joe visibly warms up to him.
* A few different budding friendships at the carnival in "Of Freedom and Pleasure":
** Joe and Biff having an increasingly fun time with Joe's win streak on the carnival games, thanks to the piece of the Eye he's carrying with him. And rather than just keep everything for himself on the grounds that he's the one actually winning, he's still more than happy to share his spoils with her, letting her choose and keep the giant stuffed animal he wins from one booth.
--->'''Biff''': The frog. Definitely the frog.\\
'''Joe''': The lady will have the frog.
** Once Trudy and Jessie see their respective kids off to hang out together, they decide to hang out themselves and grab dinner together. ("Want to get a corn dog?" "I love corn dogs.")
** As Frank and Callie ride the Ferris wheel together, she offers him comfort over the death of his mom, and reveals that she has a MissingMom too (though it's ParentalAbandonment in her case). Though this scene is sowing early seeds for them to eventually get together, at this point both of them are in relationships with other people, and it truly is just a sweet FriendshipMoment where they bond over a CommonalityConnection.
* Also, when Frank realizes that the play about Demon's Paw was portraying the death of Anya's father and that's why she didn't want to talk to him more earlier, he goes back to her booth and genuinely offers condolences about what happened to her dad, assuring her that he can relate with his very raw account of still missing his mom. Anya offers her sympathies for his loss in turn, and agrees to help him.
* Despite being terrified of the Tall Man and knowing that he'll try to murder him on sight, JB Cox still follows him to the carnival when he realizes with horror that this tall, hulking killer is going there to [[WouldHurtAChild hunt down Joe]]. He finds them in the funhouse JustInTime to pull the man off of Joe, probably saving his life, and tells him to run, picking a fight he knows could very well get him killed to buy Joe time to get away. This kicks off a series-long trend of Joe Hardy being JB's consistent MoralityPet.
** This is also even more HeartwarmingInHindsight as we see more of JB throughout the show and he demonstrates that he's largely self-motivated and OnlyInItForTheMoney, prioritizing getting paid over everything else. And yet, he establishes early on that he's a good-natured person underneath it all by going out of his way to [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe save a kid who helped him out earlier]], who he likes but still barely knows at this point, for no personal gain (and, in fact, at great risk to himself), just because JB got him mixed up in his problems by accident.
** Before JB shows up, as soon as Joe realizes the Tall Man's looking for him, he promptly suggests that he and Biff split up to avoid him. It's partially so that the guy doesn't find them as easily as he would if they were together, but since Joe knows the man only wants him and not her, he also implicitly does it to keep Biff safe and DrawAggro away from her.
