Tear Jerkers in  include:

"Lisa: Hold me, Ianto. I need you to hold me. I need you to tell me it's all right."
 * Torchwood - "Out of Time" when and when.
 * "Captain Jack Harkness", the saluting scene and shortly beforehand.
 * The desperate look in Jack's eyes. And the dance. Oh, the dance. The spotlight shining down on both of them, and everyone else stops dancing, just to watch. It was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time, since we know  . Unfortunately, it's quite possible that Real!Jack, having outed himself so spectacularly, was killed by his own troops.
 * 'Tell my family...I love them' written by Toshiko in her own blood in case she doesn't come back.
 * "Remember me as I am. Remember Beth."
 * "Cyberwoman". Watching Ianto's single-minded obsession with Dear God....

"Tosh: Knowing there has to be more to life than this. Knowing I'm special. Waiting for someone to see it. Jack: *smiles* I saw it."
 * As justified as Jack was to, he knows that Ianto's equally as justified for hating him for it.
 * The in "To the Last Man".
 * "Adrift"
 * "Adam" the final scene is tear inducing, as Jack opens up the mystery box at the end of the episode and finds it  And because of the events of the episode, he has no idea what it is or its significance.
 * When Jack passes out the memory pills to his team..

"Jack: Now we carry on. Gwen: I don't think I can. Not after this. Jack: You can. We all can. The end is where we start from. (Fadeout on Jack, holding his team close.)"
 * All of "Exit Wounds".
 * When Captain John Hart tells Jack, "I am sorry for your losses." Then he kisses Jack on the cheek and leaves. This man is a heartless, deceitful person, and yet he genuinely shows sympathy (or is it empathy?) for the man he claims to love. It's just so damn sweet.
 * The worst part about that being how she uses it to finally address Owen and give him her declaration of love. Only that Owen's not there anymore, either.
 * Or even before that, with Toshiko's plea for Owen to stop shouting because "You're breaking my heart".

 * What makes it even more tragic is that fact that Jack has the ability to revive the recently deceased. We've seen him do it before-- But this time, as Jack leans down to   he's already dying himself and just doesn't have the energy, and collapses. God.
 * Then there's the moment when Gwen . Apparently this was the moment which set the cast members off, too.
 * The realization that Jack was once
 * The scene where . Horrifying and heartbreaking.
 * Made even worse in retrospect by the fact that, so Frobisher  for nothing.

 * The end:
 * The scene where.
 * The scenes with, and when.
 * Any scene where civilians fight the soldiers--when the, when  , when the neighborhood men, led by Ianto's brother-in-law,  , when  . The series gets darker and sadder with each episode, but the final half-hour of episode 5 is surely some of the most heartwrenching TV every produced.
