Heartwarming / The Young Ones

• Vyvyan actually being upset over SPG's death, even if it's in a somewhat Black Comedy way.
• It's easy to forget that very shortly after this, it appears Rick runs away when the police sirens draw near. Despite everything, when he somehow manages to steal a double-decker bus, he immediately comes back for Vyv, Mike and Neil.
• In "Flood", Neil comes back from the shops while it's pissing it down with rain. While he forgot breakfast, he rescued several kittens on the way.
  • I think that's more a Visual Pun about it "raining cats and dogs" than the result of Neil rescuing kittens...
• The audience goes "awww" when Neil reveals it's his birthday. None of the guys care, but still.
• Vyvyan actually introducing Mike and Neil as his friends in "Bored", especially considering he usually attacks Neil almost as much as he does Rick.
• In "Bambi":
  • When Neil begins crying recalling a scene in the Disney movie of the same name, Rick asks him what the matter is and actually sounds genuinely (if only a little bit) concerned.
  • Earlier in the episode when the laundry machine refuses to take their clothes, Vyvyan actually helps out without complaint when Neil asks.
• The scene with the guys on the bus in the final episode; they're all acting like genuine friends for the first time in the series, there's no bickering or fighting between any of them, just them truly acting like pals.
