* In the "Curse of Shirley" episode, a curse is placed on Eustace that causes a storm cloud to hover over his head, raining on him everywhere he goes. The curse cannot be lifted until he finds generosity in his heart. Of course, given [[Jerkass|Eustace's personality]], it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. {{spoiler|Eustace is eventually forced outside on the roof, where he [[Blind Without 'Em|loses his glasses and starts thinking he's seeing monsters]], his hygiene declines as [[Squick|fungus grows on his body]], and he seems to be generally loosing his sanity. In an effort to get him back to normal, Courage is told the only way to get him to find generosity is to show Eustace who he really is by showing himself his own image in a mirror. When Courage tries to show him the mirror, he accidentally breaks the glass, and improvises by standing in front of the mirror himself, which results in Eustace seeing Courage as himself as a little boy, miserable and crying because his head is burning out in the hot sun and he doesn't have a hat. Eustace visibly feels sorry for him, places his own hat on his head, and the cloud vanishes.}}
** For me it was the first episode which showed Eustace in a positive light.
*** [[Status Quo Is God|Too bad Eustace stole back his hat seeing it on Courage's head]] [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain|which brought back the cloud, right as the episode was ending.]]
* A lot of the episodes do this, though in most episodes, it's offset by the [[Nightmare Fuel]]. Still, one episode with less [[Nightmare Fuel]] comes to mind. {{spoiler|A cruel rich man dies, and his shadow is left to walk the earth. He eventually comes to the middle of nowhere and starts scaring everybody. When Courage manages to wear the shadow out, they sit and talk. The shadow tells Courage that his true dream is to be a star. So, Courage suggests that he goes and be a shadow for real stars up the sky (as opposed to the Hollywood stars he was referring too).}} Err... it's more heartwarming in context.
* The episode "Perfect". After being hounded by a schoolmarm about being imperfect for the entire episode, Courage is suddenly reminded that there is no such thing as perfect and he's fine just the way he is.
