Frodo tricking Smeagol into being captured by Faramir's men by the pool. Nobody's fault, it had to be done. But it showed that Smeagol, in a tiny corner of his mind, still could feel trust and in his own way, love.

When he knew he was captured, that trust was betrayed. Everytime I read that part, I get a little teary.
