saddest episode?
Imo opinion it's "my lunch" where you hear The Fray - How to save a life. That just made me cry like a little bitch.
shareI think it's the one where Ben dies and you only find out at the end.
shareMy Screw Up is the episode where Ben dies. I think it edges out My Lunch by a nose, simply because Dr. Cox's pain is so very personal because he lost his best friend in the whole world. While the three patients dying in My Lunch was terrible, and one of them had become a casual friend, Ben was one of the people that Dr. Cox cared about the most. His devastation at the funeral is just heartbreaking. And that Joshua Radin song 'Winter' is beautiful and haunting.

To me, My Lunch, and the following episode together are what really drives home the sad. However, An episode by itself is My Screw Up. Damn it that was sad. Jurrasic Bark sad.
shareI agree with you, though My Lunch really hit me hard when I first saw it because of the emotional depth that McGinley brought to Dr. Cox. However, I don't know if it reaches the heartbreaking level of Jurassic Bark. That episode was just mean to all of us because it was so heartbreaking.
shareI agree wholeheartedly (hello from two years into the future!). All the more true with the shocking ending. The 'How to Save a Life' segment of My Lunch wasn't sad so much as tragic. I can't put them in the same category because My Lunch really illustrated the range of acting ability and some good cinematography -- even Judy Reyes, whose Carla I found to be grating from start to finish, does a fantastic job during this scene. The scene was definitely "sad", but the word itself does little justice to the scene, actors, and character impact.
