  • Alois' Birthday Episode. Nello works hard to find the specific type of flowers she adores, and even though the rest of the partygoers look down upon him, she tells him it's the greatest gift she's ever gotten.
  • Ellina supports her daughter's friendship with Nello and every time Baas shames her and Alois, she always defends her. She tells Baas that he's wrong to call Nello lazy and she can see how hardworking he is, and Alois insists he'll be a great artist. Baas actually does eventually come to realize they're right.
  • Even though Isabel and Gustus refuse to buy milk from Nello, Isabel offers him money because she knows Nello will starve without an income. Nello, however, rejects her offer.
  • Hendrick Ray wishing to adopt Nello, realizing the little boy he met a long time ago is potentially the secondcoming of Peter Paul Rubens. He even tries to convince the other judges to nominate Nello's art piece as the winning item, but they refuse.
  • When Baas loses 2,000 francs, Patrasche uses his sense of smell to retrieve then. Baas falls to his knees as he realizes Alois was right and asks her to recall Nello. Alois also rewards Patrasche with a huge feast.
