Fringe/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

** And again at the end when he sees that Astrid was hurt by the gang members.

* The entire episode of "Peter."

* The {{spoiler|white tulip.}}

* When Peter {{spoiler|calls out Walter for kidnapping him from the alternate universe, says that Walter isn't his father, and then leaves.}}

** "This is your safehouse."

* This conversation between a shape-shifter and the boy who thinks that it [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|(he?)]] is his father.

'''Shape-shifter:''' *quietly* Yeah, that's right. }}

* The scene in Marionette where Olivia is trying to wash all her clothes, then breaks down at the sight of Peter's sweater, is just... It's heartbreaking to watch the stoic [[Action Girl]] be suddenly broken.

* Walter's situation in the Amber Timeline. {{spoiler|The Peter we know drowned immediately after being brought to A-Side, which is why he's [[Ret-Gone]]. Without him to help keep Walter anchored emotionally, Walter didn't receive the [[Character Development]] of the past three years, and didn't leave his lab in all that time.}}

* The end of "Novation"

'''Peter:''' Walter, ''no!''<br />

'''Walter:''' Wherever you came from, however you got here... it doesn't matter. I can't help you.<br />

* Peter's scene with Walter in ''Back to Where You've Never Been.'' Walter tells him how Elizabeth committed suicide and then refuses to help him because of what happened last time.

* In "Making Angels", Alt-Astrid comes to Blue universe without asking for clearance. We know something bad happened to her but we don't find out until this conversation.

'''Alt-Astrid:''' At first I thought I would walk in the park. But it was so cold. And I cannot stop thinking about the word Reverend Stewart said. What a leader he was. A great man. A great friend. Reverend Stewart said he would be sorely missed. [[Not So Stoic|*starts to cry*]] And they lowered the box down into the ground and we put down flowers. I didn't know where to go. Because the park was so cold. May I ask you a question? Yours. Did you love him?<br />

'''Olivia:''' Astrid. What's going on?<br />

'''Astrid:''' I think my fa... I-I think her father is dead. }}

** And this.

** Even sadder is finding out that he ''would'' have loved her more if she was normal.

*** It's impossible to watch this episode without wanting to give Alt. Astride a hug.

* September {{spoiler|tells Peter about Henry.}}

'''September:''' [[Ret-Gone|You]] ''[[Ret-Gone|had]]'' [[Ret-Gone|a son.]] }}

* Peter {{spoiler|refusing to believe that Amber!Olivia is his Olivia.}} We don't even know if it's ''true'' but she looked so sad.

** The brief scene with Nina was fairly depressing.

* The [[Bad Future]]. The universe is breaking apart. The opening credits now include ''[[Oh Crap|water]]'' and ''[[It Got Worse|hope]]''. {{spoiler|The other universe, with baby Henry, Henry the cabbie, Marilyn Dunham, Alternate Astrid, Christopher Broyles, Lincoln, Scarlie, Fauxlivia and all the characters we have come to care about, is already gone.}} Walternate {{spoiler|shoots Olivia.}} [[Future Badass|Ella]], who once fixed Walter's story, doesn't believe in happy endings anymore. [[Hope Spot|But Walter has a plan.]] A really drastic plan.

'''Walter:''' There's no telling what the cost might be. *touches Peter's face* [[Apocalypse How/Class X|But it can't be worse than this.]] [[The Hero Dies|Can't be worse than this.]]<br />

*[[beat]]*<br />

** The fact that {{spoiler|Lincoln}} isn't there is officially no longer a [[Tear Jerker]].

* The ending of Worlds Apart.

** The first thing Walter does after they {{spoiler|turn off the machine}} is to check if Peter is still there.

** They stop Jones for now. {{spoiler|But the alternate universe has stopped healing.}}

** Walternate's reaction to the {{spoiler|news that they might have to turn off the machine.}} This man fought ''tooth and claw'' for his universe. His world was ''healing.'' {{spoiler|And now it'll go back to what it was before the truce. A world falling apart.}} Damn.

* {{spoiler|The real [[Tear Jerker]] is that Nina is wrong.}}

'''Nina:''' *shouting* Oh Walter, anything is possible! {{spoiler|But the man I knew wouldn't try to destroy a universe! That doesn't sound like William.}} }}

* 4x22. {{spoiler|Astrid's scene in the hospital.}} That woman shouldn't be ''allowed'' to cry, it's too damn sad.

* Walter {{spoiler|shooting Olivia.}} Not the act itself because of [[Foreshadowing]], the [[Foregone Conclusion]] and [[Like You Would Really Do It|pure disbelief]] but Walter and Peter's reactions were ''awful.''
