CSI: Crime Scene Investigation/Tear Jerker

Tear Jerkers in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation include:

• "Goodbye and Good Luck". 'Nuff said.
• Warrick's apparent death in "For Gedda".
  • The horrible confirmation of all the rumors in "For Warrick". When he died in Grissom's arms.
  • It wasn't even so much the confirmation that Warrick was dead. It was Grissom completely losing it while holding Warrick in his arms. Grissom spent the entire series beforehand showing two emotions: indifference, and occasional happiness. Watching him fall apart as his friend and colleague dies in his arms as well
    • And when Grissom breaks down reading the eulogy at his funeral.
  • Warrick was a father who was looking to gain custody of his son when he died. There is a video of how he considers Grissom to be a father figure when he didn't have one himself.
• Just mentioning the episodes "Dead Doll" and "Living Doll".
• "Grave Danger" when they found Nick. Warrick pleading with him to drop the gun and Grissom using his father's nickname for him to keep him from going hysterical again.
• "Feeling the Heat". Namely the ending, where Catherine tells the Winstons, who killed their baby because they thought he was going to die of Tay-Sachs anyway, that the tests for the kid came back negative.
• The last 5 minutes of "One to Go" reduced her to a blubbering pile of mush.
• The fate of Cassie and Ashleigh James. Two sisters, both of them beautiful and outgoing, drawn into the modelling world. One of them ends up dead of eating disorders and self-neglect, the other crazy and homeless, wandering the streets of Vegas with her shopping cart...
• "A Thousand Days on Earth" - a little girl is found in a box, abandoned, only to be recognized by her father, who is in prison. The whole episode is said, but seeing her father (played by the same actor who plays Det. Sanchez on The Closer), a hardened criminal, break down in tears of anguish and impotent rage when he sees her picture on the news is ... wow.
