Episodes That Made You Cry

Usually sappy TV or movies don't make me cry no matter how emotional or dramatic they may be but some reason this show (along with a good amount of episodes from Highway to Heaven) make me drop a tear or two. Maybe it's because of the character development with the flashbacks, the music and the ending montage.

The episode 'Daniela' made me cry myself to sleep. The whole episode was a downer which was coupled with really good music. The ending really blind-sided me, plus the montage at the end with the visuals with that great song.

Another episode that had me close to tears was 'Boy Crazy', the flashbacks were hard to watch, almost to a point where I said to myself while watching "I hate this show". The episode 'Fly Away' almost caused me to stop watching the series entirely, haha.

What episodes make you cry and why?

Most of them make me cry at the end. However, I watched "Time to Crime" today and that was the first episode ever to make me cry at the beginning.

That poor little girl! :'(

i cried with most of the episodes. This was such a great show. It deals with injustice on so many levels and that's awesome.

But i think one of the episodes where i cried the most was "Our Boy Is Back". But i cried there because i was so happy for the women. Especialy when "Nicole" was packing her things to go finally live on her own again and she looks up at the sun and breathes in the air, i melted. She was finally free.

I cried a little during the end of episode Maternal Instincts. I felt sorry for the guy, he was in court again, he met his real family for the first time (especially sad, when he switches to the little boy and back and his mother touches his face) and he will probably have troubles all his life just because an idiot killed his "mother" (it wasn't his real mother but he believed she was) and let him stay in the same room with her for hours. :/

Just finished watching "Libertyville", one of the very later episodes, and one that I missed when the show was still running.

Felt very sad, to the point of tears, and I'm a pretty tough guy. Just the sheer sickening quality of the murder, the mindless, uncompromising rage behind it. And the fact that the victim was such a nice character.

The same for the victim in "Discretions", the Hispanic lawyer, who was badly misjudged by a number of people. "Brush Man" also was very sad. These episodes stand out for me, though doubtless, there were many sad stories.

I can't really remember any of the episodes right now but I hated that the show made me do that.

Tears never fell but I welled or slightly emotional up on quite a few of the episodes.

Wishing was a crier of an episode.

I'm not watching repeats of this in the evenings anymore - leaves me in a bum mood for bed. Better to watch mid-day so you can pick yourself up with a comedy!

Bauer vs. Bourne, that is the question.

The episode that made me cry was The Good-Bye Room season episode 16. Every time I watch it makes me cry.

Roller Girl will always be an iconic episode for me and I don't even know why.

I relate a lot to the victim, and how she dies is tragic (as with all of the cases) but you just feel for her and when she's skating, you can literally feel how happy she is.

Volunteers is a great episode to, I love the song at the end and how it flashes back to the women that the two victims helped.

Discretion makes me cry like a little kid, and I'm a 24 year old man. The confession scene rips my goddamn heart out.

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Stand Up and Holler, at least towards the end anyway. The victim was actually a person you can really root for. Sure, she was a part of the cheerleader squad, but she wanted out after realizing what a horrible person the captain was. What made the episode sad was when the victim and her friend were together on the football field. If you remember that part, you will know what I mean. If not, here is the scene:

Final Appeal is the tearjerker for me. We find out the man was truly innocent and he ends up being put to death anyway. I bawled my eyes out.
