  • "Hail Beltane":
    • When Raelle wakes after nearly dying trying to save Porter, Quartermaine tells her, "We are all...incredibly proud of you. That kind of bravery can't be taught."
    • When a cadet talks shit about Raelle, Abigail overhears and tears a strip out of her.
    • The ending, when the Witchfather gives Raelle the scourge Porter made, saying, "It's clear no other witch deserves it more than you."
  • "Bellweather Season": Under vague but dire threats from the Spree, Scylla must bring Raelle to a certain place by 6 pm. When the moment comes, Scylla looks at the clock...and just keeps dancing with Raelle.
  • At the end of Episode 1x7, in the Bat before Citydrop Libba is giving an energetic pep talk to her unit. Even though she gives Abigail a challenging "can you do better?" look, instead of rising to the bait Abigail just quietly puts her hand on Raelle's knee, knowing that Raelle is stressed and distraught.
    Abigail: It's going to be okay.
  • "Coup": Abigail's entire eulogy for Libba. At the end, their mothers exchange little nods, signaling the end of the centuries-long feuds between their families.
  • Episode 1x10 "Witchbomb", when Raelle is stabbed in the heart, Abigail doesn't hesitate to run out to try and save her, despite both of them knowing it was a lethal blow. Raelle tries to get Abigail to stop their Link so that Abigail doesn't die as well, but Abigail refuses. Seeing Raelle and Abigail's friendship grow from rivalry to true friends is very heartwarming.
    Raelle (weakly): Always gotta be a hero, huh, Bellweather?
    Abigail (holding back tears): I love you, shitbird.
  • The reunion of the unit in 2x01. Seeing Raelle, Tally, and Abigail all back together, safe and hugging, it makes you feel all the warm fuzzy feelings.
  • After Raelle goes missing in season three, Abigail and Tally, despite being worried themselves, still take the time to help Scylla handle it. They know how much Raelle and Scylla love each other, and they're going to protect their best friend's girlfriend as best they can while she's not around to do it.
