Quote #4

"I am glad we came to an arrangement [...] I did not wish to hurt you." (7.42)

Other teams are making alliances as well, as we see in this exchange between Irina to the Kabras. Of course, Irina has already been described as a former KGB agent, so how loyal can she be? Aren't spies just professional liars?

Quote #5

"Nobody messes with my babysitees" (15.18)

Nellie, a non-family member, is loyal to Amy and Dan despite the fact that they can't even pay her anymore. That unconditional loyalty makes her more family than Amy and Dan's actual family.

Quote #6

Nellie whopped [Alistair] upside the head with her backpack. (15.62)

Nellie is so loyal to Amy and Dan that she'll wallop someone upside the head without even getting their side of the story. We don't know if that's admirable or just plain reckless. But we do know that it makes for a great visual.
