Line 15:
* Olivia's confrontation with Fauxlivia's mother. The ''hug'', the little "I'm not your daughter" and the fact that the brainwashing actually works because of it. A part of you just knows that the reason it worked was because she wanted it to.
** "This is your safehouse."
* This conversation between a shape-shifter and the boy who thinks that it [[What Measure Is a Non
{{quote| '''Shape-shifter:''' *about a monster under the bed* You know... sometimes... monsters aren't all that bad. Sometimes... if you get to spend some time with them, they can be very surprising. They can be, um, incredibly sweet and pure and capable of great, great love. And then, one of them might actually become your very, very best friend.<br />
'''Boy''': But you're my best friend.<br />
Line 21:
* 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.
** Just about every interaction between Peter and Olivia in that episode is a [[Tear Jerker]].
* Whatever parts of Subject 13 that didn't make you feel warm and fuzzy. Heck, even ''[[Well
** Little Peter's breakdown especially. The hitch in his voice when he shouts "I wanna go ''home''" is heartbreaking.
* "She's me, only better." Oh, ''Liv''...
Line 32:
* 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"
{{quote| '''Walter:''' *holding Peter's face* Every day, for the past 25 years, I've tried to imagine what you'd look like as a man...my son. *lets go* But I don't deserve this. I don't deserve you. [[Laser
'''Peter:''' Walter, ''no!''<br />
'''Walter:''' Wherever you came from, however you got here... it doesn't matter. I can't help you.<br />
'''Peter''': Walter, you don't understand-<br />
'''Walter:''' [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|I tried to help a boy.]] A version of my son. 25 years ago. But that boy was never my son... [[Replacement Goldfish|and neither are you.]] }}
* ''And Those We Left Behind.'' Pretty much all of it.
* In ''The Firefly'', when Roscoe is talking about his son's death and the subsequent collapse of the band, breaking up emotionally over it... which is made even stronger by {{spoiler|Walter's realization that he's responsible for not only Roscoe's son's death but the collapse of his favorite band}} and Christopher Lloyd's intense, emotional performance.
