Higher Ground/Tear Jerker
Tear Jerkers in Higher Ground include:
- The end of the episode "Innocence" where Peter's previously estranged father dies, in the midst of a recollection of their visits to Central Park, with the words "I love you too, son" on his lips. If that doesn't get you, the episode's last shot of a 7-year-old Peter muttering "'bye, dad" as his father strides in slow-motion across a bridge will.
- The end of "Daised [sic] and Confused", when Daisy opens her father's photo album, and finally grieves for her dead mother, after spending the entire episode resenting her and blowing up at her father (and showing up at the funeral in the very Goth getup that led her to the school in the first place).
- "Exposed": The scene in which Scott confronts Shelby in the woods and she loses it is heartbreaking.
