Live-Action TV/Tear Jerker/Lists that need to be split by individual works: Difference between revisions

* Finn's speech to Rachel at the Christmas tree lot. Poor guy.

* How distraught Karofsky looks after he kisses Kurt breaks my heart.

* Quinn telling Rachel that she is the one that Finn is going to chose. It is the sadest "I am going to win"-speech ever.

{{quote| '''Quinn:''' Do you want to know how this story plays out? I get Finn, you get heart-broken. And then Finn and I stay here and start a family. I'll become a successful real estate agent, and Finn will take over Kurt's dads tire shop. You don't belong here Rachel, and you can't hate me for helping to send you on your way.<br />

** ''Especially'' when you consider her determination to get out of Lima and do something great with her life, even during the pregnancy plot. She went through absolute hell to get her life back, and just when things were looking up, a new wave of drama came up. And now, here she is, [[Ice Queen|Quinn Fabray]], finally battered and broken to the point where she has finally given up all her ambitions and is resigned to the fact that she's not going to amount to anything particularly great in life.Quinn has spent quite a bit of time being a bitch this season, but...

* Will talking to Emma in "Rumors" about how he doesn't want to leave the kids and her behind because they've done so much for him and he needs them as much as they need him, but then saying how ''badly'' he wants to go with April. There's something about the idea that Will's dreams and opportunities are passing him by, but he wouldn't even consider going because the glee club means so much to him. It's both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

* Karofsky's tearful apology and {{spoiler|saying 'I can't' softly to Kurt at Prom and walking away.}}

* {{spoiler|Jean's funeral}} because of the scene's multitude of similarities to the deaths and funerals of people he cared about just as much as {{spoiler|Sue cares about Jean.}}

* The scene where Claire talks with the Haitian after he's mind wipped Zach. Mostly due to the devastated look on Claire's face and her sobbing plead for the Haitian to "give him back".

* {{spoiler|Joseph's murder at Samuel's hands}} in ''Thanksgiving.'' The look of horror on Samuel's face as he realizes what he's done sealed the deal of Samuel becoming the [[Ensemble Darkhorse|favorite character]] of many.

 

 

* The season 6 episode "Aftershock". {{spoiler|Claire Kincaid getting killed in a car accident}}

* The Season 7 finale, "Terminal." Adam has been unavailable throughout much of the episode and not quite up to his usual [[Deadpan Snarker]] standard when he is around, because his wife is dying in the hospital. The final scene is {{spoiler|him alone in the hospital room with her when she finally dies.}} He begins to cry.

 

 

** Natalie struggling to keep it together before finally breaking down in the privacy of her office, Angie being all subdued and somber, and Alesha crying as she corrected herself to use the past tense when referring to Matt, "WAS a police officer."

** But the best moments went to Ronnie--his stunned, shell-shocked demeanor at the crime scene, consoling Matt's sister (who tearfully admitted that she always knew she would hear this news someday), his wandering around Matt's now-deserted apartment, struggling with the temptation to drink, petting Matt's cat and quietly telling it "Yeah, I miss him too", his simply asking Matt's killer "Why?", actually empathizing with him (the man was acting out of misplaced vengeance over the death of his brother) and reaching out to him with words that clearly reflected his own feelings-—“When someone you love dies, the hardest thing is to be left behind. You’d do anything to bring them back. You’d take their place.”, and later, in a conversation with the gunman's mother, "The police officer, who died? His name was Matthew Devlin. And he was like...like *my* son."

 

 

* "The Future Job": A fraudulent psychic uncovers a secret Parker has never told anyone: that she witnessed (and blames herself for) the death of her brother when they were children. Made worse by the fact that Parker has [[No Social Skills]] -- she can't interpret ''normal'' nonverbal cues, and thus has a hard time understanding cold reading.

* "The Maltese Falcon Job." The season two finale, Nate after spiraling further and further out of control after the loss of Sophie. Finds himself at the mercy of his rival Sterling who wants to exchange a Gun Smuggler his after and Nate's team in exchange for Nate's freedom . Because Nate is not like them. In the end Nate has captured the Gun Smuggler and in a gambit leveraged his way to exchange his capture for his teammates freedom. While the team escapes a FBI mooks asks "Who is this guy?" Nate, bleeding and exhausted. Who for the last two years prided himself for being above his team laughs and says, "I'm a thief."
