** Screw that, then entire episode The Scent of Roses. The whole thing was effectively an exercise in ripping Michael’s guts out. |

* The episode where a teenage girl is asked to help find a treasure left to her by her father before his death (which the bad guys are after as well). She hated her father all her life, while others idolised him, feeling pushed aside, and agrees only reluctantly. In the end it turns out that {{spoiler|the treasure her father left her is a beautiful, but monetarily worthless hoard of crystal/stone compounds in a cavern – a beautiful sight reserved only for her, and which had no cash value to him whatsoever. He loved her more than money after all.}} |

* Given that one of the actors is a ''sentient car'', the scene in ''Knight of the Drones'', where a completely [[Wham Episode|smashed up via missile launcher]] KITT weakly asks Bonnie why it’s so dark outside and she tells him [[Blatant Lies|that it’s night]], is far more moving than it has any right to be. Bonnie is sometimes jokingly referred to as KITT’s mother, but in this scene, you can’t help but buy it. |

** In fact, ''any'' episode that features KITT being busted up (which happened every time they [[Trash the Set|wanted to do a design revamp]] and thus, fairly often). Everyone worries about him as much as they would a flesh and blood teammate. On one occasion Michael even spends countless hours waiting around outside of the repair lab emergency room after KITT gets drowned in acid. |

* The ending of the episode "Legacy". The story revovles around an abused little girl who has fallen into a coma. {{spoiler|Munch eventually found out that her mother did it.}} The case hits particularly close to home for Munch because {{spoiler|when he was a kid, he was aware that a little girl on his street was being abused by her mother, but said nothing. The little girl ended up dying.}} At the end of the episode, Munch visits the victim's hospital room with a copy of the Dr. Suess book "Oh, the Places You'll Go" that he found in her bedroom. He reads a passage from it and the screen fades to black. It's just...heart-wrenching. |
