Friendship Couch
  • Tony bringing what appears to be an old gramophone to Arlo's housewarming party. Then he pushes a button and it transforms into a more modern bass amplifier that gets the dance music going!
  • Bertie smashing through Arlo's wall to reunite with him. Doubles as a heartwarming moment.

Be the Turtle

  • Alia pushing through her Fatal Flaw, and getting the foundation sign delivered to the fountain by herself. All to the tune of her very own song, "Slow Walk".
  • Alia being revealed to have Super-Senses. Arlo praises her for being able to see, hear, and even smell things that he and others cannot.

Community Garden

  • Arlo rallying his friends to build a rooftop garden for Bertie to have some time to herself.

Make a Fish

  • Marcellus risking his life to retrieve the condor Egg atop the Chrysler Building, singing in a dramatic operatic voice as he does so.

Swamp Itch

  • Ansel managing to subdue his son, who's going crazy from the swamp itch-induced hallucinations, by beating him at his own game and surrounding him with sticks, which eventually take the form of a giant nest.
  • In the beginning, Ansel has taken a big step in Character Development. Now that his son is back with him, he can actually sense if something strange is up with him.

Tony Baloney

  • Tony standing up to his parents after trying to impress them with lies about his criminal activities, telling them that he loves his legit business above all else. Of course, his family is impressed that he played them in the first place.
    Tony: I'll never be enough for you two. If I can't impress you with knowing the President and having a business helicopter, I give up! It was all a ruse! My friends helped me make over this place, and myself (his parents gasp) to seem insanely successful so you'd finally be proud of me. But I'm coming clean! Mama, papa, (rips off his vest) I love making pizzas. And I'm good at it! I run a clean business, and I make a decent profit doing it. If that's not enough to impress you, then so be it! (throws his wadded-up vest at their feet)

The Uncondemning

  • Arlo and his pals setting off to the swamp to rescue Edmée. Once they get there, Arlo is the first to break into his old shack to confront Ruff and Stucky. Sure, they turn out to not be the culprits, but it counts.
  • Arlo's "Setting Off" Song, "Back To You", is downright EPIC, complete with his hair blowing back, powerful vocals, and even a Disney Acid Sequence which serves as a Call-Back to his "Beyond These Walls" number from the movie!
  • The Bog Lady, while a nightmare-inducing villain in her own right, is a cool one nonetheless. Her Villain Song is just so deliciously EVIL as she gloats about her complete dominance over the swamp and ensnares Arlo with both the local plant life and her hypnotic gaze.
  • Alia manages to find the Heart of the Swamp thanks to "changing her perspective" by having Bertie toss her above the treetops. She then manages to see it in the distance thanks to her Super-Senses.
  • Hearing the sound of Bertie and Alia coming to his rescue is what causes Arlo to break out of the Bog Lady's spell and easily fight against her, prior to saving Edmée from her thorn cage.
  • Bertie and Alia rescuing Arlo from the Bog Lady. Bertie punches through her vines while Alia rips her claws through her chest, causing her visible pain.
  • Marcellus rescuing his friends with the motorboat he found, along with his tracking device obsession.
  • Edmée finishing off the Bog Lady by planting bombs all over the bottom of her shack. It blows the monster to kingdom come while safely launching our heroes elsewhere. That's right, folks. This series ends with our heroes vanquishing a supernatural entity.
  • The gang manages to arrive to the Uncondemning party on time while soaring in the sky on Marcellus' motorboat. It all ends with them singing "As Long as We Got Each Other", them having managed to completely restore Seaside to not just its former glory, but perhaps a greater one than it had ever known.
