* On John's birthday, Derek takes him to the park, where two children are playing baseball and as they do so, John notices that one of the boys is wearing a t-shirt with 'REESE' on the back. John immediately realises that Derek's taken him to see his father for the first time, and that Derek has always known John was Kyle's son.

* In "Vick's Chip," Derek and John have this exchange over Cameron's loyalty, and John proves his own loyalty to her.

'''John''': ''Not'' this one. }}

** And immediately afterward, after John puts her chip back into her head, he stops to affectionately stroke her hair until she reboots. It's a ''very'' small thing, but those few seconds where he touches her hair set up ''so much'' of what happens later on in the second season.

Eric flips out, telling her that you just don't tell people things like that, and just flat out rips into Cameron over how weird she is. Later when Cameron returns to the library, she's greeted by another student and it's heavily implied that Eric committed suicide in the intervening period}}.

You do."

* At the end of "Today Is the Day Part 2," John confronts Jesse, and she asks him if her [[Batman Gambit]] involving {{spoiler|making Cameron kill Riley}} would have worked at separating John and Cameron, if he'd believed she'd actually done it. His response? [[The Power of Trust|"No."]]
