1!!Film:
2* At the end, Holtzmann, uncharacteristically mature and on the verge of tears, gave a toast to her sincere love for the team.
3** TruthInTelevision, as many people who are hip, spunky and habitually sarcastic (i.e., a very dominant disposition) have a very hard time expressing emotions that make them vulnerable (like love).
4* Erin is lamenting how orange her hair is after some hastily applied dye, and Holtz says "[[ShipTease I'd talk to you at an AA meeting]]," and just [[HeldGaze keeps beaming happily at Erin]] and grinning even as she takes a drink.
5* The metal concert audience and band are the first people to not treat the Ghostbusters as weirdos or idiots, and they all cheer for them [[spoiler: once Mayhem is vanquished]], complete with the band playing a song for them and letting them celebrate on stage.
6* At the end of the film when [[spoiler:the Ghostbusters look outside and see most of the city lit up with "I Love GB"]]. After being relentlessly bullied by scientists and the government, it's nice to see that they're finally beginning to get the respect they deserve for saving the city.
7* Slimer and Mrs. Slimer taking the Ecto-1 on a joyride. Yes, they're barreling recklessly through midtown Manhattan, but with the smiles on their faces? Unlike all the other ghosts, they're ''happy and having fun''.
8* Though Erin's BrokenBird story is a bit of a TearJerker moment, her acknowledgement that Abby was the only one who believed her about being haunted as a child brings it back into heartwarming territory.
9** Holtzmann's wink afterwards isn't just a flirt, it's also a moment of genuine camaraderie and support after Erin shares her painful story.
10* "I wasn't going to abandon you a second time."
11* Despite him being a little bit of a idiot, [[spoiler:it's nice to see how protective the Ghostbusters are of Kevin when Rowan possesses him.]]
12** It's mutual. Right before Kevin is possessed, he's suited up as a Ghostbuster, next to his bike, and declares that he's joining the team officially. He truly feels he's one of them, and he's ready to fight for them.
13* The delivery boy bringing Abby a container ''stuffed'' with wontons. Granted, she's still put out by the broth/wonton ''ratio'', but it's pretty sweet of him to do that for the woman who destroyed his motorbike.
14* After the Ghostbusters get their dressing down by the mayor and the Feds, the way Holtzmann shows them all the new equipment she's designed for them comes across as her trying to cheer them up. [[ShipTease She specifically asks Erin to go first since she knows she's had the worst day out of any of them, and gives her a Swiss Army Knife as well.]]
