‘Scandal’: Huck and Quinn’s cringeworthy fight
Source: Tumblr
One of the most emotionally heart-wrenching scenes of Scandal this season was when Huck tortured Quinn. We were treated to a powerful moment with two great actors who put on acting for a scene that was so horrible, so gut-wrenchingly awful and wrong…but we couldn’t look away. Throughout the episode we were rooting for Quinn to be safe by the end, and when those scenes were finished we were so happy she was okay.
‘The Originals’: A forgotten brother

We admit that so far The Originals has been mostly dramatic and intriguing rather than emotional, but there’s one specific moment that pulled at our heart strings. When Klaus had to compel Cami in season 1, episode 4 to forget her brother’s death, we were yelling and crying and screaming and bawling. We didn’t want that character to forget anything! It was ultimately a power struggle, and of course Klaus won. We can’t wait until the events of the mid-season finale come back to bite him in the behind! Pun totally intended.
‘Orphan Black’: A trip to the hospital

Orphan Black is an action-packed series, but there are moments that make you want to empty out your tissue box too! When Kira got hit by a car it left us speechless, motionless, and just filled with dread. All we kept thinking was, “Is she going to survive? She’s too important! They can’t. WHAT? NO.” And it didn’t help that there’s a wait between the time we see that happen and when we see her next, so our minds just kept wandering to the worst possibilities. In the end, Kira healed miraculously, but that won’t stop us from over-worrying about any of these characters.
‘Breaking Bad’: Walt’s confession

The series finale brought a confession from Walt that we didn’t expect: He admitted that everything he’s done, he did for himself. His wife Skyler expected a different answer – one about protecting his family, like he’s used in the past – but this time was different. Maybe he was finally truthful because he knew death was imminent, or because he had hit rock bottom. With so many emotional moments in Breaking Bad’s final eight episodes, it was hard to pick one scene to share here.
‘The Walking Dead’: The loss of a beloved man

The midseason finale of The Walking Dead shook up the show in two major ways: The survivors lost their home, and The Governor killed Hershel. We can’t forget that The Governor died, too, but his loss was a long time coming and everyone was happy to see him go. The death of Hershel was just plain sad. We lost a fan favorite who always had wise advice, and he died so gruesomely in front of his family. When season 4 resumes in February, viewers will watch as the humans regroup from one of the biggest assaults they’ve ever faced.
‘Glee’: An emotional tribute

Without a doubt the most emotional episode of the season, and definitely the most emotional episode of the entire series was Finn Hudson’s tribute episode on Glee. The entire episode was filled with soul-crushing sadness and scenes that just made you want to ball up in the fetal position, and it’s so hard to pick just one scene for this article. With that said, we think that the most emotional part was Finn’s family – Kurt, Burt and Carole – talking about how they’ll miss Finn, and our hearts were shattered when Finn’s mom started crying. If you didn’t cry during this episode, we have to wonder if you have a soul.
‘The Office’: It all ends here

We saw the Dunder Mifflin employees begin a new chapter in their lives. Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak made small appearances – just long enough for Kelly to leave her baby with her husband and run away with Ryan. Angela and Dwight finally tied the knot after nine years of ups and downs and twisted romantic entanglements. Thankfully, Jim and Pam, who spent most of the season building tension in their relationship, lived happily ever after, leaving Pennsylvania to follow Jim’s dream job to Austin, Texas. It was just a little show about a paper company, but it had so much heart.
‘Supernatural’: A farewell to family
Source: Tumblr
Supernatural is, at its core, a show about family. There is no higher virtue for Sam and Dean than protecting their family, so those rare few who have made their way into the Winchesters’ hearts have also snuck into ours; Sam and Dean’s family is our family, too. So Kevin’s sudden death shattered us, as it did Dean, who, only a handful of episodes earlier, had called Kevin family and swore to protect and even die for him. And this tragic event is only made worse by the fact that it was a result of Dean’s desperation to save Sam, who was also lost to him by the end of the heart-wrenching mid-season finale.
