Heartwarming moments for the TV series Flashpoint:

  • At the end of "First in Line," would-be heart-transplant patient William refuses treatment so Phoebe Swanson, whose distraught father took hostages because she'd been bumped down the list, can have the heart instead.
    Nurse: You gave a life today.
    William: Wasn't my turn.
  • "Attention Shoppers." Jules connecting with Tasha Renford, and talking her out of her suicide after she went past the Despair Event Horizon.
    • Honestly any time a member of the team talks someone out of suicide would qualify.
  • Parker reuniting with his son and both of them getting to know each other again after being ten years apart. Particularly in "A Call to Arms" where Parker's son asks him if he could live with him for a while.
    • Really, anything everything about Parker and Dean's relationship is heartwarming.
  • At the end of "Exit Wounds", where Parker talks about Ed Lane:
    "When everybody's struggling he's pushing you through, when everyone's lost he finds our way, and when we falter he picks us up. Problem is when he's done all that, who picks him up? You saved that kid today, Eddie. And one time or another you've saved everyone in this room."
  • In "Planets Aligned", after eight years of being trapped inside a house and conditioned to be fearful of the outside world, Penny takes her first steps outside and is finally reunited with her parents.
  • In "Asking For Flowers", Wordy convinces a battered wife to turn in her husband by giving her an impassioned speech about someone he knew who was being abused by her husband, mentioning that she always wore turtlenecks in summer and looked terrified; while the woman doesn't have enough context, it's made pretty clear to the viewer that this "girl from [his] neighborhood" is Wordy's wife (he calls her Shelley, which is also his wife's name). At the end of the episode, Wordy pulls into his driveway to find his wife waiting for him on the porch, looking completely relaxed and wearing a low-cut shirt, and it's clear even from their brief interaction how much they love each other. Shelley's first marriage may have been miserable, but in the end she found happiness. (This also provides some hope for the battered wife from the episode, suggesting that now that she's free of her abuser, she too may eventually find someone who really loves her.)
  • The entire ending of "Slow Burn" where Jules and Sam find out they can work together in the same team. And how Parker individually speaks to each of his team with fondness and respect as he made his decision to stay on the team.
    (to Sam): We usually get to choose our teammates but in your case, we had greatness thrust upon us. Proud to have you here.
    (to Jules): Jules, you're my right hand. You are my heart. And you teach me something every day.
    (to Raf): Raf, you've seen what the job can be, right? Well you're a faster learner and you're going make this team even stronger.
    (to Wordy): Wordy, a day doesn't go by where I don't miss you.
    (to Spike): Spike. (in Italian) I love you like a son.
    (and altogether): Look, you guys are my family ... (breaks off in tears)
    • And finally, to his closest friend.
      (to Ed): I've got no words for you, my friend. No words for you. No words that can describe what you've done for me and who you are to me.
