- One of the last episodes has Becker trying to get to Chamber Street, but is interrupted by a old woman on the subway who asks for directions. When he does, she gets confused, so he ends up taking her there, getting increasingly frustrated. Finally, when she gets there she can't go up the stairs from the subway
. When Becker asks why, she says "he would've been forty." Becker then asks "who," to which she responds "my son." She then begins telling a story about how her son had talked to her, telling her what he had for breakfast, what he was going to do that weekend, that he had a meeting a few floors up, and how he could see all of Manhattan from his office. If you don't already know where this is going... she says it "was such a beautiful September day." Becker's irritation disappears and he lets her finish the story, and the episode simply ends with them sitting on a subway bench, him quietly holding her hand. - The end of the episode "Man Plans, God Laughs". While giving him a checkup, Becker makes a plan with a patient, Peter, to go to a hockey game after work. Just as he's leaving, having cleared up the chaos Linda created while covering for Margaret, Becker gets a call from Peter's secretary - he collapsed at his desk and died of a massive cerebral haemorrhage. The Mood Whiplash and Becker's clear guilt due to believing he missed something is what makes the scene.
- The Series Finale features one of Becker's patients since Season 1 on his deathbed. The dialogue the two share is poignant every time.
- A subplot to "Dr. Angry Head" is Linda excitedly awaiting her parents and trying to impress them. At the last minute, though, they opt to go to Aspen instead. She doesn't even find out until she calls them. Linda's so shaken that she says she wouldn't want to spend Christmas with herself, either.
- Imagine Margaret's life without the laugh track. Working in a run-down doctor's office in a bad neighborhood with a misanthropic boss and a Cloud Cuckoolander, then going home to a dead-end marriage.
- An example in the Season 1 episode, Becker the Elder: after seeing Becker repeatedly and angrily brushing off his seemingly Nice Guy father Fred, Reggie asks if Becker had to be so rude to his father, Becker angrily explains the reason why he doesn't get along with his old man...Reggie: Did you have to walk out on him?Becker: Did he happen to mention that he walked out on me first?! On me and my mother? Did he slap you on the back, give you a pen and tell you that part of the story?Reggie: No.Becker: No, I didn't think so. He never does.
- After this, Reggie tells Becker about the fact her last conversation with her father was an argument over something trivial. While she doesn't say it, it's clearly inferred in Reggie's tone she doesn't want to see the same thing happen to him.
- Later on, after yet another attempt at a polite conversation between father and son goes awry, Becker angrily demands to know why his father walked out of his life when he was eleven. Fred drops his usual jovial, joking persona and explains that by that point in John's childhood, Fred and his mother were constantly at each other's throats, to the point Fred was taking any kind of job out of town to get away from her...until she finally got fed up of it and told him not to come back. When John asks why his father didn't come back to at least see him, Fred replies that John's mother asked him not to, and he admits he regrets not trying to have a bigger part in his son's life. John seems shocked at his father's side of the story, while Fred admits that John's mother had good reason for trying to keep his father away, admitting at that time, he'd have been the worst kind of role model for his son.
- Linda quitting her job in 'Linda Quits' following a bad work week of mixing up a patient's prescription and Becker and Margaret chewing her out for it.
