Third Watch/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Tear Jerkers in Third Watch include:

  • The death of paramedic Bobby Caffey, complete with Bobby as a small boy being led off by the hand to Heaven, by his father, while Enya's "Only Time" plays.
    • The end of "After Time", the first post-9/11 episode, when Firefighter Tommy Doyle's body is found at The Pile and brought back to the firehouse, and the whole neighborhood is there in a candlelit vigil.
    • The funeral, combined with Lizzie West's "Prayer" and "Tell my mother it didn't hurt".
