History Heartwarming / HowToGetAwayWithMurder

* In episode 14, Annalise's mother Ophelia pays a visit to the Keating residence per her daughter's request. While at first abrasive and demanding Annalise get up and take a shower, Ophelia realizes just how distraught her daughter is, and holds her close, delivering the episode's TitleDrop "Mama's here now."

** Connor and Michaela ice cream scene when Oliver texts to Michaela about his date, she comforts Connor it's healthy that doesn't know about his ex-boyfriend's (he still loves) dating life.

*** With Annalise, it shows their kind of mother-son relationship as Annalise congratulating him for his internship. With Laurel, they have a sweet in a bathroom talking about [[spoiler: an eventual pregnancy.]] With Asher, Wes helps him in an embarrassing situation at the Law school. With Connor, they had a conversation about Connor's love life as Connor confides to Wes he was at a therapy. And with Michaela, Wes confides to her he has a romance with Laurel and she helped him to find a good gift for Laurel.

** While it's tinged by the emotional trauma of Wes being dead, there is something sweet about the flashbacks scattered throughout the episode, showing that all the fighting aside each member of the group cared about him and saw him as a friend.

** It's subtle. But Michaela's drive to find out what Connor isn't telling them is hinted to at least be partially motivated by their close friendship which she explains to him while they're in the bathroom. And, when she drags him outside to tell everyone else, she assures that him that she believes him and everyone else will too.

** Annalise echoes this sentiment in a later episode when she defends a man who's spent over two decades in jail over a crime he very likely didn't commit. She accuses a state senator of framing him for the murder of his girlfriend because [[spoiler: she wanted to stop his development projects]] and gives a ''very'' powerful speech about how corporate greed destroys communities.
* In a pretty morbid way, [[spoiler: Wes cleaning the blood off Rebecca after he killed Sam Keating to save her life, and promising to dispose of the body for her]]. He kisses her when he gets back and swears to never let anyone hurt her again.
* Rebecca goes to a convenience store after [[spoiler: sleeping with Wes]]. Why? To get him Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream because he told her it was his favorite.

* During the night of the murder, Connor calls out Michaela for [[spoiler: pushing Sam over the second story railing in the Keating house]], and while Michaela justifies her actions with the fact that she was protecting Laurel, Laurel herself defends Michaela.
* In Episode 10, Michaela starts crying after she gets a text from the bridal shop asking to confirm a fitting because she knows she's going to lose Aiden if [[spoiler: she confesses and lets everyone find out about her involvement in the murder]]. Connor immediately tells her that if Aiden doesn't want to marry her because of ''that'' then it's a sign that there's someone better out there for her.

** Annalise strong belief that Wes [[spoiler:didn't murder Rebecca.]]

** Asher's concern that [[spoiler:Oliver is HIV positive and Connor is planning to have sex with him. Not because he's homophobic, just simply because he's afraid Connor could die.]]
*** While it indirectly led to Connor and Oliver fighting, Asher [[spoiler:comforting Oliver over being HIV positive is rather sweet.]]
** Michaela and Oliver's small moments together. Most notably, her telling Asher to "shut up" because she didn't want [[spoiler:Oliver to know they knew he was HIV positive.]]
** [[spoiler:Nate giving a hug to Eve after he's acquitted.]]

** Wes threatening [[spoiler:Levi to stay away from Micheala]].

** [[spoiler:Nate encouraging Michaela is pretty sweet, even if the context may be creepy.]]

** Annalise defending Bonnie from Connor, Michaela, and Laurel [[spoiler:when they think Bonnie told their DarkSecret to Asher.]] Also counts as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

** Some bonding moments between Michaela and Connor -- Connor telling [[spoiler:Levi to stay away from Michaela after they and Laurel find out the Levi is "Eggs 911". The next moment is Michaela hugging Connor's shoulder when Wes opens up a suitcase that had Rebecca's body in.]]

** Bonnie trying to keep Annalise's earlier promise [[spoiler:to Asher about keeping his father's crimes from the public.]]

*** In the same vein, she drops everything to go to Nate's house with a peach cobbler to express her [[spoiler:condolences about his wife's death.]]

*** Her calling Bonnie and leaving several messages, admitting that [[spoiler: revealing the latter's rape survivor past]] was definitely wrong and she's willing to give her space if that's what she wants.

*** Having Nate initiate a missing person search for [[spoiler: Oliver]] and reassuring Connor that everything will be fine when everyone else is practically being nonchalant about the matter. [[spoiler: Oliver turning up at the Keating house counts as well.]]
** [[spoiler:Caleb and Catherine agreeing at different times to take a plea offer in order to save the other.]]

** Asher making a heartfelt apology [[spoiler:to the others for causing more trouble for them by killing Sinclair and thanking them for having his back.]]
** Eve immediately coming to Annalise's side [[spoiler:after she was nearly attacked by Philip.]]
** Doubles as a TearJerker: [[spoiler:Annalise looks at the picture of her, Sam, and their baby.]]

** Upon learning from a distraught and angry Annalise that [[spoiler: despite her family's jeering about how she sacrificed her family for her career, she ''did'' have a baby, it just died]], Annalise's mother eventually takes her out to the yard in the middle of the night to [[spoiler: write a letter to the baby and then bury it]] to help her find closure. It works.

* Meggy, Wes's new girlfriend and their relationship is this, due to being the most positive influence he ever had in the show's duration. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, it doesn't last]].

** Laurel's father making an effort to reconnect with her. Unfortunately, it derails when [[spoiler:she refuses.]]

** Arguably Frank [[spoiler: killing Bonnie's father as retribution for what he did to Bonnie when she was a child.]] It's probably still morally wrong, but [[spoiler:Bonnie]] is very grateful to him for doing it.

** Asher genuinely gives Wes his condolences about [[spoiler:the death of his biological father]], after he and the others are told about it by Annalise.

** Bonnie taking care of Annalise after [[spoiler: she slides back into alcoholism]].

** Out of relief that he is okay and they are both safe, Oliver [[spoiler:asks Connor to marry him.]]

** Laurel finally reuniting with [[spoiler:her son, Christopher, whom she spends the latter part of Season 4 trying to get back.]] It's a very sweet moment, even if it's immediately followed by the unpleasantness of her conversation with her father.
** The ending in general, which shows [[spoiler:Laurel with her baby back, Annalise having won her class action lawsuit, Michaela helping Connor with his letter to get back into law school, Oliver helping Asher move into Wes' old place, and Asher enthusiastically agreeing to be Oliver's best man at their wedding.]] It's bittersweet as it's intercut with a lot of ominous plot threads for the next season, but leaning much heavier on the sweet than any other season finale so far. It ends on the note of [[spoiler:Annalise rocking Christopher for Laurel, singing to him the lullaby her mother sang to her while she was cleaning her up.]]

** Annalise defending Bonnie from Connor, Michaela, and Laurel [[spoiler:when they think Bonnie told their DarkSecret to Asher.]] Also counts as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

** It's subtle. But Michaela's drive to find out what Connor isn't telling them is hinted to at least be partially motivated by their close friendship which she explains to him while they're in the bathroom. And, when she drags him outside to tell everyone else, she assures that they'll all believe him.

!!Season 1
* Wes' speech to Annalise explaining why he lied about being a lawyer to get to see Rebecca. He says that the justice system was suppose to protect the innocent, not serve the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of stigmatized individuals. It's enough to get Annalise to take on Rebecca's case.
