'''Jarod''': Because I still remember the little girl who gave me my first kiss. }}

*** Jarod's overall attitude towards the boy is heartwarming. He treats him as a person, as family - never as just {{spoiler|his clone}}.

* Jarod rescuing his sister, Emily, from the hospital from the Centre with help from Major Charlies, then speaking with her for the first time when she wakes.
* In the final movie, Jarod and Miss Parker are stranded on an island during a storm, both talking about the Parker legecy. Jarod puts a blanket over her shoulders to keep her warm as he talks.
{{quote| '''Jarod''': The Centre wants us to believe that finding the truth is a mistake, that looking for answers about who we really are is futile and finding any kind of... connection outside their control is wrong. I know you don't want to hear this but you can feel it. You've been a Centre prisoner all these years just like me. And with every discovery you find you're every bit the outcast. Just like me.<br />
'''Miss Parker''': Why is it that the one person that I've been trained to distrust, to hate, to capture is always with me during the most difficult moments of my life?<br />
'''Jarod''': (his voice barely above a whisper) Maybe, it's supposed to be that way. }}
** The two lean in to kiss... {{spoiler|until the caretaker of the place they're staying interupts them with tea.}}

{{quote| '''Jarod:''' You're not a monster... and you're still my family. Have you ever been fishing?<br />
'''Sydney:''' Yes.<br />
'''Jarod:''' Maybe we could go... someday. }}
* In "Under the Reds," Jarod provides Sydney's comatose brother with a new medical technique designed to wake him up. Sydney immediately expresses his regrets over the fateful car accident that caused the coma. The technique proves short-lived, but before slipping back in, Jacob writes one final note for Sydney: "Not your fault."
Line 31:
** He acts brotherly towards and regularly calls J.R. Miller, the boy {{spoiler|he donated Kyle's heart to}} in "Red Rock Jarod."
* In "Ghosts from the Past," Angelo starts to sense that Jarod is in danger from someone he previously got arrested. Angelo goes through recovered items from past pretends and just acts like a madman to spur action, but his heart is in the right place.
{{quote| "Must save Jarod!"}}
* In "Dragon House, Part 2," Jarod encounters Angelo for the first time since escaping The Centre. He hugs him and Angelo actually reciprocates.
