  • After their day out together, Finch randomly stops the car on the side of the road. He opens the door and stares at Violet passionately...cue Big Damn Kiss. He breaks it for a moment - clearly making sure that Violet is happy - and she returns the kiss even more passionately.
  • The scene of Violet on the rollercoaster. After a while of her being numb and unfeeling, seeing her scream with happiness is beautiful. Before that, when it's Finch's turn, you can see Violet in the background cheering him on with the same Adorkable grin of sincere happiness.
  • The presence of Amanda and Roamer at Finch's funeral. Amanda had a Heel Realization beforehand and knew what Finch was going through, and she's going to be there for her best friend. Roamer too can be seen looking remorseful both at the funeral and during Violet's presentation.
  • A heartwarming Brick Joke. Violet chooses to visit a church that Finch had planned to take her to - which was set up in memoriam for people who had died in road traffic accidents. At the guest register, she finds Finch's message in big block letters saying "I was here", referencing him joking that he'd borrow her epitaph.
  • Violet's speech detailing what she's learned.
    "He taught me that you don't have to climb a mountain to stand on top of the world. And that even the ugliest places can be beautiful, as long as you take the time to look. And it's okay to get lost, as long as you find your way back. But in learning all of that, I missed seeing something more important; seeing Finch. I missed that he was in pain. I missed that he was teaching me all along how to move on. Finch was a dreamer; he dreamt while he was awake. He dreamt of all the beauty in the world and he made it come to life. Finch taught me there's beauty in the most unexpected of places. And that there are bright places even in dark times. And if there isn't...you can be that bright place. With infinite capacities."
  • The epilogue showing Violet dancing with Charlie and Brenda. The three of them will keep Finch's spirit alive. It also shows her going into Eleanor's room and sitting on the couch there.
