* The Season 1 finale of ''[[The Closer]]'', where the entire squad, who previously hated her guts, threatened resignation when Captain Tanner lodged an Internal Affairs "conduct unbecoming" complaint against Brenda. The sweetest part was how she told them what the outcome was: in the first episode, they had all requested transfers out of her squad, and as she assigned them each duties for the case, she threw their requests in the trash. In the finale, she did the exact same thing. [[Tear Jerker|And then she offered to take them all out for drinks to celebrate]]. Say it with me: [[WAFF|AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW]].
* Brenda's breathless "We found each other!" when she accepts Fritz's marriage proposal.
** That entire scene was awesome. Here's the set up: Brenda has just been diagnosed with  {{spoiler|a form of early onset menopause}} and is understandably freaking and crying her eyes out. Fritz gets the ring out, gets down on bended knee and says,
{{quote|'''Fritz''': I've arrived at that place where I can't imagine life without you. And let me just say I love you more than anything else in the world. Brenda, will you marry me? Please?}}
* Gabriel offering to [[Heroic Sacrifice|stay with the bomber]] if he lets all his friends go.
* Raydor's concern for Brenda in "Fresh Pursuit" after she is nearly killed.
** Later that same episode, Raydor giving Brenda the time she needs to help close her case, and being incredibly kind to Brenda when Brenda is a deep breath away from crying as she asks.
** And when {{spoiler|Brenda is cleared of all charges, Raydor is the first person Brenda looks to. The joy radiating off Sharon Raydor at that moment is ''insane''}}... and their unlikely friendship has been ''firmly'' cemented by Brenda finally calling Raydor "[[First-Name Basis|Sharon]]" after three whole seasons of "Captain" and "Chief".
* Brenda and Fritz have too many of these to count.
{{quote|'''Brenda''': ...he is the most decent and wonderful man I've ever known.}}
* Brenda telling Sharon that the work she's doing in investigating Major Crimes is important and admirable, even if it's not fully appreciated by everyone.
