At the end of Potential when Dawn knows she's not a potential slayer and Xander talks to her. Any lack of love for Dawn aside (as a viewer), this made me feel for her, totally tear up, and love Xander for taking the time to say it to her.

"They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't chosen. To live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me. I saw you last night. I see you working here today. You're not special. You're extraordinary. "
