This show is considerably more lighthearted compared to other Rooster Teeth shows, and thus has a lot of sweet moments.
Episode 1: The Dreaded Nomad
- Red Manuel flicks Skout's heavy backpack and leaves her on the ground to mock her over her minor position in carrying all their things. Toth picks up the pack one-handed and tosses it at Manuel who gets bowled over, noting that Skout can handle the burden better than he can. Skout is starry-eyed over Toth standing up for her.
- The fact that Skout sees what others cannot see about the Nomad and considers him her friend.
- Nomad saving Skout and Toth after the former cries for help. He knew these two were after him, but he still goes back and helps Skout purely because she's his friend.
- How Nomad's little rock friends encourage him to go out in the world.
Episode 2: Bliss Hill
- Say what you will about Don Paragon, but he was lenient in the beginning. Calling the act of simply finding the Nomad and losing them to be progress, rather than not having found them at all.
- As weird as it is, his complimenting Skout for informing him of Nomad's moral compass. It shows that, on some level, he does value information and efficiency.
- Barty is this to some extent. Not only is he welcoming to the Nomad, he's more accepting of his magic than any of the adults in Bliss Hill put together.
Episode 3: Trouble On Purpose
- The Sheriff seems to hold no grudge against the Nomad, despite him accidentally destroying the town, and actively tries to keep the Bounty Hunter off his trail by saying that he wasn't in town. Had the other townsfolk not blabbed, it would have worked.
- The Sheriff finding Nomad in his son's secret hiding spot, and instead of being angry with him, he begs for him to help get his son back.
- Despite him disliking having to keep Nomad out of town, The Sheriff has to, to keep the Bounty Hunters away. But despite that, it's implied that he's going to start to tell others of Nomad's goodness, and how he's not such a bad fellow after all.
- Eugene and Dolores helping Barty save the Nomad, despite that they were angry at the Nomad in the previous episode for accidentally destroying the mill.
Episode 4: The Twindleweed Brothers Traveling Circus
- Skout's Luminescent Blush when she realizes she's holding Toth's hand.
- The Nomad almost instantly befriends Lorenzo's lizard monster.
Episode 5: The Kindness of Strangers
- Despite the overall dark tone of this episode, it's still poignantly moving that the Nomad takes the time to give the music box a proper burial.
- In a way, the Nomad ordering the animated objects to spare the Undertaker shows that, although he's not going to take anymore of said-undertaker's mistreatment, he doesn't have it in him to kill anyone.
Episode 6: El Rey
- During a sandstorm, the Nomad takes shelter at an abandoned castle. While he curls up in a blanket, he uses his magic to animate some rocks and allows them to curl up next to him while he rests.
- When Skout hesitates in following Toph into the sandstorm, Toph tells her that she thinks Skout can handle it. Not only does it come across as genuine instead of just an attempt to prod her into doing it, but Skout's reaction is one of pure joy.
- Shortly after, a mysterious old Yadalan woman residing there approaches the Nomad. Next to Barty, she's just the nicest stranger the Nomad has met since he left his forest. She welcomes him there, isn't scared by the rocks he animated, and does not shun his magic. In addition, she also reveals to the Nomad the origin of El Rey.
- El Rey loved his people at one point. He used his magic crown to provide food for the hungry, heal a crippled boy, and cure the ailing.
- One man appears to come to El Rey seeking treatment for depression. And El Rey heals him, not taking it any less seriously than the physical illnesses people are coming to him for.
- Toth abandoning the Nomad's trail in order to save a severely injured Skout.
Episode 7: Eagle Canyon
- The entire B-story where the Nomad protects the Eaglon's egg.
- Even then, he pulled a spear from her wing in a moving act that can only be described as the metaphorical "removing the thorn from the lion's paw".
- Skout letting the unhatched eagle chick go unharmed. She had it hostage and could've used it to capture the Nomad, but Skout doesn't have it in her to hurt anyone.
Episode 9: Compass
- After being saved by the Nomad in the previous episode, the passengers on the train all refuse to cooperate with Toth and the Dandy Lions in hunting for him.
- Skout realizing that perhaps it's for the best that no one turns in the Nomad. She realizes that he wants friends and isn't doing anything wrong. The Nomad finds appreciation in it.
Episode 10: The Witch and the Knight
- Amidst a very emotional episode, we discover why Nomad was initially drawn to Skout: she resembles the witch Melinda, a woman the Nomad protected while she grew up on the run. The episode also implies that Skout might be descended from this woman, and/or that magic isn't completely dead at El Rey's hands.
Episode 11: The Red Carpet
- Toth apologizing to Skout. Unfortunately, things go downhill from there...
- The Nomad is haunted by every harsh word that's ever been thrown at him these past episodes. But then, he recalls all the kind, encouraging words good people have shared with him. This not only reminds him he's a good person despite what others think, but encourages him to finally stand up for those good people.
- A long time ago, Melinda asked the Nomad who he would protect once they parted ways. One hundred years later, he chooses to honor her memory by taking a stand against Don Paragon.
Episode 12: Fiesta
- The end result of this episode's events: Don Paragon's been deposed, the Oasis has been opened to the public, and Skout joins the Nomad on his quest.
- Also, most tellingly, Nomad doesn't want Skout as his partner. He wants her as his friend.
