* In "And the Sword in the Stone" has Stone," Jenkins motivating Eve to talk to Flynn after his (Flynn's) Heroic B.S.O.D. Particularly heartwarming in hindsight when he later reveals that the true purpose of the Guardian isn't to stop Librarians from getting into physical danger, but to perform exactly this role--to offer moral support when they flag or falter, keeping them away from despair or greed.



* In the alternate universe where Ezekiel is the Librarian, he says that his Eve was like a mother to him. Though she's a little freaked out, given their respective ages, it's also very sweet. Particularly given that it seems like she's been pretty much his ''only'' parental figure.

* There's a bit of Fridge Heartwarming in "And the Bleeding Crown:" Darrington Dare all but states that Jenkins was aware of the civil war caused by the Librarians of the fifth century fracturing (which makes sense, since he almost certainly would've joined the Library during the Dark Ages). And yet, back in Season One, he ''never'' said anything to either Flynn or Eve, implying that very early on, it was clear to him that these three Librarians would not make the mistakes of their predecessors.

* Pretty much all of Cassandra and Ezekiel's interactions with each other, whether considered platonic or romantic by the fans, are sweet and endearing.
* The way Cassandra smiles at Jones (and, once in a while, vice versa). Again, whether platonic or romantic, it's very clear that she does care for him deeply, and that underneath the gruff snarkiness, he cares about her too (albeit that it takes him a while to forgive her for her betrayal).
* Eve always understands that it's been a long time since Flynn could rely on others and never puts too much pressure on him, usually being patient when he keeps secrets and pulls the "lone, self-sacrificing hero" act. At the same time, she loves him enough to call him out whenever he goes too far over the line.

Jenkins and Flynn both point out that this is nonsense, as the Library chose a person, not a tumor. She was chosen because of who she is, not because of a brain condition.

** He also mentions that he's always, throughout his life, thought of himself as a caretaker. Given that the focus is usually either on his inventions or combat experience, it's really very sweet.



** Eve and Jenkins have moved firmly into the territory of true friends, with her referring to him as "the world's oldest soldier" and showing absolute trust that he'll have her back when necessary; in turn, he refers to her as Eve and expresses genuine concern when it seems she's destined to die, and is clearly very glad when she breaks the prophecy.
* "And the Tears of a Clown" starts off with Jenkins moving through a carnival, looking at a video message from Eve telling him on no account to come after them. Later, she chews him out for ignoring her instructions, pointing out that with herself and the other Librarians captured, Charlene disappeared, Judson gone, and Flynn in and out, if Jenkins had been captured things could've gotten really bad. Jenkins concedes the point...then adds that ''nothing'' would've stopped him from coming after her. Cue one of the very few times in the ''entire series'' that Eve looks vulnerable.
