* At the end of episode 6, [[spoiler:the students are celebrating that the school is saved. Calhoun then gives Brian a broom, telling him that there's going to a big mess that needs to be cleaned up. However, as the camera pans out, it shows Calhoun holding a broom as well, and he cleans up the school alongside Brian.]]

** The FullHouseMusic doesn't hurt, either.

** Especially powerful since it's practically the first time Mary has ever actually done any form of true parenting to her daughter.

* Jenny referring to Brian as "the only person that's ever truly loved [her]".

** This was also after Ki had accidentally insulted them by saying that they weren't playing "real games".

** Even better; most viewers who remember the first season will recall that, constantly, Cheeto would attack and scratch Brian. They might think that when Cheetoh is on Brian's face, he's just doing what he normally does - being a bother, possibly ready to scratch. Then, for a split second, Cheeto quietly mews and rests his head against Brian's headphones. ''He is hugging Brian.''

** This is followed by Jenny, Ki, and Ted coming to help Brian clean up the mess Calhoun is making him clean.

* Episode five seems to be the episode dedicated for [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerks with hearts of gold]]. ''Calhoun'' of all people goes out of his way to give some encouraging words to Brian in episode 5 when he hits the DespairEventHorizon, and Law for quite possibly the first time in his life comes to genuinely care about someone after [[spoiler:Shot Bot performs a HeroicSacrifice to help clear the Law's name.]] This is followed by Jenny, Ki, and Ted coming to help Brian clean up the mess Calhoun is making him clean.

* The end of episode 4. [[RunningGag Throughout the episode,]] Brian has been having difficulty defusing bombs in ''Field of Fire'', even though [[CentipedesDilemma he claims he can normally handle it just fine]]. In the match at the end, when Brian is the only one left alive on the team, he has to disarm the bomb. He gets to the bomb and prepares to disarm it, looking nervous...when his pet cat, Cheeto, arrives on a miniature car (ItMakesSenseInContext), crashes into a wall, flies off the car, and lands on Brian's face. Jenny looks ready to pull Cheeto off...when Brian holds up a finger, silently telling her to hold on. He then manages to successfully disarm the bomb; not ''despite'' having a cat blocking his view - ''because'' he has a cat blocking his view. He didn't feel right trying to play the game without Cheeto there.

* Surprisingly enough, ''Calhoun'' goes out of his way to give some encouraging words to Brian in episode 5 when he hits the DespairEventHorizon. Guess the {{Jerkass}} has [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a heart of gold]] after all.

* Episode 3 deals with each character's (except Brian's) parents. Naturally, we already know by this point that Freddie is a ManipulativeBastard towards his son, and Mary Matrix would rather act like a harsh coach than anything like a mother. But then we meet Ki's dad, Ken. After the episode is done, this much is clear; He and his daughter love each other very much. He would like to see her reach her potential, and claims VGHS might not be good enough for her. He does not care who she dates. And they are so close, they play {{Poker}}[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} mon]] with kisses and chores as wagers. It's just the most adorable thing ever.

* Brian gets [[ShutUpHannibal pissed at the Games Dean]] and challenges him to a battle of ''Field of Fire'' in rage. While he's on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle [[spoiler: which he is deliberately losing - or at least not trying to win - to get expelled]], Jenny enters the game and bails him out, giving him a RousingSpeech in the process.
