Heartwarming / Coming Out on Top

• Penny's and Ian's supportiveness.
• Donovan being a kind, supportive father for his son, and just his date with Mark in general.
• Whenever Alex tells Mark about the trouble he is in. It's nice when your love is also your friend.
• Alex tells Mark teaching is his life. Mark tells him he seems to be really good at it, then insecurely adds it's not like it means much coming from a mere student.
  Alex: Mark, you are mistaken. (Beat) It means a lot coming from you.
• The epilogue slides for a successful romance, particularly Ian's.
