** Arthur finally surrenders to the inevitable and tells his mother what they're dealing with. He introduces them to Lobstercules' babies, and they respond with their first word: "Joooaaan!" Which they repeat whenever her name is mentioned.

* A couple of moments when Arthur smashes the MindControl remote.
** Lobstercules, who was being forced to attack The Tick, lifts Hobbs by the throat and tells him how easy it would be to take his head off... then drops him, saying she won't kill him, though, because ''she's'' [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters not a monster]].
** Overkill is released from the mind control and looks up to see Dot, who says, "Is it you?" and then runs up and hugs him.
-->'''Overkill:'''[[AngerBornOfWorry Jackass! I told you not to come for me!]] [''Hugs her back'']
*** Yeah, that's right. Overkill ''hugged her back.''
* For the first time since "Magic is Real", Lobstercules is finally reunited with her babies.
* Overkill and Rathbone making peace. Not only does Rathbone not blame Overkill for [[BackFromTheDead killing him]] while under mind control, he congratulates him on a perfect kill shot.

* Arthur talks Dangerboat out of his HeroicBSOD, empathising over the death of his friend by telling him about his father's death and how grief never stops hurting.
** Arthur was reluctant to go to Dangerboat early in the episode, being put off by [=DB=]'s obvious interest in him. After they talk, though, Dangerboat finally [[LoveConfession tells Arthur he loves him]], and Arthur accepts him without returning the sentiment. It's obvious Dangerboat has become a real person to him in a way he hadn't before.

* When Dot uses her life debt to erase the no-kill order from The Tick's life debt, Overkill is so happy he almost hugs her! He's within a couple of feet with his arms out when she looks at him like she can't believe what she's seeing, making him remember himself. Yes, ''that'' Overkill.

* The Tick's simple minded optimism stands out all the better against the darker interpretation of The City.
* Tick befriending various people around Arthur, from the shopkeeper's mother, to Arthur's stepdad, to a homeless man he just met on the street. He even reacts with genuine admiration upon seeing ''Tinfoil Kevin'' making his own hat.
** Tick's friendship with Walter (the stepdad) is particularly adorable. Not one hour after meeting each other, Tick's sitting by his side while he opens his birthday presents, as though part of the family. No one seems to find it remotely strange.
** Walter himself seems to be a caring, if eccentric stepfather, getting on well with Arthur, showing concern for his mental health ([[RunningGag and feet]]), and calmly accepting that he can't replace his real father.
* Pretty much every time Tick hugs Arthur in the Amazon Prime series is this, from comforting Arthur over his DarkAndTroubledPast to being relieved Arthur survived a bus dropping.

* When faced with a choice between losing his job and continuing to help people as a superhero, Arthur jumps off the company building... and takes flight in his moth suit, choosing TheCall, no longer out of necessity to prove against The Terror, but because it's what he wants to do.
** Better yet, it's the first time he seems ''happy'' to take flight.

** In his villainous speech, [[spoiler: Hobbes]] explains that Rathbone's unshaking faith in superheroes is part of what what spurned them against him.

* What's the one thing the Tick can do after hearing Arthur's story about how his father and his heroes were brutally killed? Give him a big strong hug, like only a superhero can give. It causes Arthur some physical pain, but the gesture actually does make him feel a little better.
