Even though the movie has a crazy and somewhat dark plot, we can see that there are touching moments. A core element of the narrative is a mother looking for her missing daughter, and she doesn't care that there is a cocaine-intoxicated predator... she will do whatever it takes to get her back.
Even Dee Dee's friend Henry joins the search. Her friendship must mean a great deal to him to risk his life to such an extent.
The friendship between Eddie and Daveed, with Eddie trying to convince Daveed to get away from Syd's business for his own good.
Henry telling Dee Dee that she's the toughest person he knows, and that she must have gotten it from her mom.
Beth the paramedic may not be immune to Freak Out moments, but she helps the injured Liz back to the ambulance and waits for Tom to ride with them rather than abandon either of them to the bear.
Cocaine Bear rising up through Heroic Willpower (with a helping hand from a cloud of cocaine) to kill Syd White for threatening its cubs. This is complete with a combination of gorn and heartwarming when, after it disembowels Syd, the cubs start eating his intestines. They may be violent due to their cocaine ingestion, but they're still a Mama Bear and her cubs.
