** Later on [[PetTheDog Bryce actually defends Tyler from Monty when Monty shoves him against a locker after starting a fight with Tyler]]. Granted this doesn’t stop Tyler from keeping Bryce on his list but since this is way before Bryce’s attempted redemption it’s nice to see him to at least one genuinely good thing.

* Bryce not only paying Seth the money for Justin’s debt but extra for Seth to leave Justin alone. When Seth (rightfully) [[EvenEvilHasStandards calls out Bryce for being a rapist and states, “That is some fucked up shit you did.”, Bryce simply agrees and Portsmouth out his life is fucked up too. He then makes it clear if Seth doesn’t leave Justin alone, he (Bryce) has no problem dedicating whatever’s left of his life to fucking up Seth’s as well. He may be a SerialRapist but he’s also a true friend (at least now he is).

* The Jensens taking Justin in as if he were one of their own is all kinds of heartwarming. They take him in even when Clay was still just indenting to use him against Bryce, they choose to adopt and they mean all of it. They treat him like their kid, punish him as if he were their kid instead of getting rid of him and send him to rehab when he relapses. And likewise they are devastated when he dies. He really was a son to them.
