5!!Season 1
6[[folder:Episode 1: Titans]]
7* Dick keeps a poster from his time at Haly's Circus, that shows his family’s act on it.
8* Sally, from the Soup Kitchen, wanting to help get Rachel into a youth shelter and off the streets.
9* Dick and Bruce may not be on speaking terms, but Dick is still following in his example when it comes to taking care of kids.
10* In episode one there's a moment where Dick flashes back the night at the circus when his parents died. There's a quick shot of [[Franchise/{{Batman}} a certain someone]]'s hand resting his hand on Dick's shoulder saying he wants to help him.
11* A smaller moment that counts is when after Dick saves Rachel he takes her to his car, describing it as a family heirloom. When she asks if it's from the circus he just replies: "Not the one you're thinking of". On some small level at least Batman is still family to him.
12[[/folder]]
13
14[[folder:Episode 2: Hawk and Dove]]
15* Dick hugs Rachel and promises her that nothing bad is going to happen to her.
16* We see a photograph of Dick, Donna, Dawn, and Hank - in this universe, they're the original Titans, and even after their falling apart, Dawn still cares about them enough to keep the picture.
17[[/folder]]
18
19[[folder:Episode 4: Doom Patrol]]
20* Gar saw the damage Rachel caused, and he still thought it would be best to chase her down and bring her to his home with the (incorrect) belief that Chief could help her.
21* Gar’s reaction to Rachel wondering if her powers make her evil is to tell her that there is nothing evil about her.
22* Rachel tells Dick to stay away from her because she doesn't want him getting hurt and him refusing to leave, assuring her that she's not alone because she has him, and giving her a CooldownHug.
23* The Doom Patrol's relationship with each other. It’s made very clear that they are a family that cares for each other deeply.
24** Also, the other Patrol members send Gar out to live the kind of independent life which he, unlike the others, was too young to experience before being saved from death.
25[[/folder]]
26
27[[folder:Episode 5: Together]]
28* When Rachel asks Dick to turn the mirror in her room around and she asks him if he was going to ask why, he tells her that it's enough that it had been bothering her.
29* Dick revealing to Rachel, Kori and Gar that he's Robin. He would have joined the fight as Dick Grayson the Detroit Detective, but he chose to put on the costume and fight as Robin the Boy Wonder to show he trusts them.
30* Jason Todd saving Dick from an ambush at the end. This either means that Batman has been keeping an eye on his former ward (most likely), or that Robin II saw that his predecessor was in trouble and joined in. Either way, it shows that regardless of whatever falling out Bruce and Dick had, he is always a member of the family.
31[[/folder]]
32
33[[folder:Episode 6: Jason Todd]]
34* Jason's unashamed fanboyism towards Dick.

37* Dick's re-connecting with Clayton, and the flashback to how the latter had ''wanted'' to adopt "Dickie" after his parents' deaths, but forfeited that wish so the boy wouldn't have to live in poverty.

44[[/folder]]
45
46[[folder:Episode 9: Hank And Dawn]]
47* As horrible as it is, Hank taking the place of his younger brother Don to prevent him from getting molested by his coach.

53[[/folder]]
54
55!!Season 2
56[[folder:Episode 1: Trigon]]
57* How much does Bruce trust Alfred? ''He took him to the fucking Justice League with him!'' If ''that'' doesn't say trust, especially after all these years, nothing will - especially as he did ''not'' take Dick or Jason.
58[[/folder]]
59
60[[folder:Episode 2: Rose]]
61* When Dick calls Bruce and asks him if he regretted taking him in, Bruce says that if he could go back, he would do everything exactly the same.
62[[/folder]]
63
64[[folder:Episode 4: Aqualad]]

Later on, even Jillian, Donna's Amazonian mentor, tells her to reconsider returning to Themiscyra for Garth's sake, despite the difficult relationship between Amazonians and Atlanteans.
66* Garth's AnguishedDeclarationOfLove at Donna, who responds with her own in turn. Sadly, it's followed by a massive tearjerking moment, as Garth is murdered by Deathstroke.
67[[/folder]]
68
69[[folder:Episode 5: Deathstroke]]
70* The moment between Kory and Rachel discussing the latter’s lack of control over her power.
71* Donna and Kory sharing a drink, while Kory reveals that she is next in line to the throne on her home planet and that she wants to stay on Earth but doesn’t know if she has a choice.
72* While it's also tearjerking, Hank is the person most persistent in trying to save Jason, despite their previous enmity, saying that he knew how terrifying it is to suffer in the dark at the hands of a psychopath, hoping that your friends would save you when ultimately, they don't.
73[[/folder]]
74
75[[folder:Episode 6: Conner]]
76* Conner absentmindedly shielding Lionel Luthor from being shot at by the Cadmus mooks shows that, despite his abusive upbringing, Lex still has a soft spot for his father.
77* After the incident at the Luthor house, it's briefly shown that Lex calls the people on-site to confirm that his father is okay.
78* Conner saving Jason from falling to his death. Despite the fact that Eve previously asked him not to be a hero, the Superman part of Conner will always convince him to be one.
79[[/folder]]
80
81[[folder:Episode 7: Bruce Wayne]]
82* The fact that Bruce serves as Dick's good conscience shows that, even though he considered him a ToxicFriendInfluence in the previous season, it is more of the opposite.
83* Kory [[ConverseWithTheUnconscious talking with the comatose Conner]], saying that him being comatose means she is not in control, and she hates not being in control, so she asks him to stay alive for her.
84* Conner smiling at Kory after she successfully neutralizes his Kryptonite poisoning.
85* Conner calling Eve his mother is adorable to watch. Her kissing his forehead gently makes it even cuter.
86[[/folder]]
87
88[[folder:Episode 8: Jericho]]
89* Though they don't mean well (at first), Jericho finally finds a circle of friends in the Titans after years of abandonment by his father. It's especially hard not to smile at his joy of playing with Hank.
90* Even if they hate Deathstroke for killing Garth, both Hank and Dawn ultimately refuse to use Jericho to spy on Slade, saying that he is just an innocent kid.
91[[/folder]]
92

101* Luis, one of Dick's inmates at Kane County prison, is given a deadline to kill Dick in return for his unpaid rent. However, he ultimately refuses to do it, saying that he has his conscience. Though this causes another inmate to be killed, Dick is touched by the act and factors this to the decision to help Luis and his friend Rafi escape from the facility.

103* Despite her animosity, Donna still reports to Dick about Rachel's disappearance.

105
106[[folder:Episode 11: E.L._.O.]]
107* Bruce Wayne inviting Kory, Donna, Rachel, and Dawn to a run-down diner in Nevada to convince them to reunite the Titans. Really shows Bruce's fatherly tendencies to the younger superheroes for him to go into trouble doing it, despite being busy in heroics himself. This also means that he still looks after Dick, his former sidekick and surrogate son.
108** While Dawn and Donna are still mad at Dick and refuse to help Rachel bail him out of the mess he's put himself in, Dawn does give Rachel an affectionate touch to the face before leaving, telling her to come find her and Donna when she's done.
109* The episode reveals that Jason and Rose have undergone RelationshipUpgrade and are living together in a mansion outside Gotham. Jason later takes Rose to see the place where he grew up before Bruce took him.

[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Had Bruce not benched him]], Jason might have been on the way to full recovery.
145* In a sad way, Jason confronting the Joker by himself is not out of defiance to Bruce, but because he believes it will prove to him that he is still worthy of being Robin.
