=== [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)/Tear Jerker]] ===

* The first episode of the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' - "33" - has a tear jerking scene right after the opening credits {{spoiler|when ALL of the grief-stricken, sleep-deprived Galactica pilots take a moment to touch the picture of a fellow soldier who was watching the destruction of his home world. If you listen very carefully, you can hear most of the pilots say something along the lines of "Never forget".}} Later on, President Laura Roslin breaks down after learning that a baby was born during the chaos of the multiple jumps through space, and updates the running survivor count accordingly.

** The scene in "Maelstrom" {{spoiler|where Kara "dies", her ship blows up, Saul frackin' Tigh, of all people, cries over her, and then Bill Adama breaks down in his quarters and smashes his model ship.}}

** Doubly so because {{spoiler|that was genuine anger on the part of Edward James Olmos, who plays Adama, and who had not been told that Starbuck would return. That model ship he smashed? That was an improvisation - the ship wasn't a prop, it was ''a museum piece'' being loaned to the production team...}}

*** Consider the fact that she just trusted {{spoiler|Tory, one of the secret Cylons along with Galen}} and got backhanded for it. It's more than likely that she died thinking her husband was complicit in it.

** Let's face it, [[Tear Jerker]] moments are a [[Once an Episode]] deal with ''Battlestar Galactica''. The start of season 2 when Chief Tyrol is shocked at the loss of a life during a short mission he was leading

** The {{spoiler|euthanasia scene in season 3}}.

 

=== [[EastEnders/Tear Jerker]] ===

* ''[[Eastenders]]'' has had its moments too. Zoe calling Kat 'Mum' for the first time when they said their goodbyes just before Zoe caught her train out of the series.

* In 'Symphony of Illumination' {{spoiler|Robin is narrating the episode to her and Barney's future kids. Until she finds out she can't ever have children. "So I can't have kids. Big deal. This way, there's no one to hold me back in life. No one to keep me from travelling where I wanna travel, no one getting in the way of my career. If you wanna know the truth of it, I'm glad you guys aren't real." And the kids fade away.}}

 

=== [[Inspector Lynley/Tear Jerker]] ===

* When {{spoiler|Barbara Havers is shot in the abdomen, throwing herself in front of a bullet to save someone else}}. Even though [[Like You Would Really Do It|you know they wouldn't really do it]], ''Lynley'' doesn't know, and his reaction is absolutely heartbreaking.

* In the final scene of the Season 4 premiere, Connor wakes up to find Abby already up. He correctly deduces that she's still used to keeping watch {{spoiler|from when they were stuck in the Cretaceous}}. That fact just hammers home the absolute ''hell'' those two went through.

 

=== [[Scrubs/Tear Jerker]] ===

* The ''[[Scrubs]]'' episodes "My Old Lady" and "My Screw Up" are generally the most tear-jerking of the series.
