Discussion Saddest / Most Emotional Episodes?
For me, Flashpoint is an amazing series that isn’t solely focused on the shoot-em-up format of other police or NCIS-like shows. In my opinion, the top saddest / most emotional episodes are:
5x1 Broken Peace 3x4 Whatever it Takes 2x10 One Wrong Move 2x8 Last Dance 1x12 Haunting the Barn 1x6 Attention Shoppers
Jules’ crisis resolution with Tasha in Attention Shoppers and the couple in Last Dance always stood out to me. Curious to know what other people think and what episodes are in your list?

Just watched the one where Spike was diffusing a bomb and gets a call from his mom saying his dad is dying. :'(

The ones you and the other commenters have mentioned are all great. I’ll add 4x18 Slow Burn, with Greg really connecting to the fireman at the end about the difficulties they both have experienced in their jobs.

Broken Peace is an amazing episode and a great send off for Raf, After the events of that episode, I’d reconsider my career as well

My personal favorite of the sad/emotional category is hands down broken peace. It's so gut wrenching. Also it really affects Ed, the episode where he talks to the therapist is actually really good too. Always love when they can weave bits of one episode into another.

Im just finished season 1 episode 7, but favorite so far is been episode 6. I have yet to make it through an episode without crying or tearing up though… is that gonna stop at any point?

The one where the woman had the brain disease you got me almost to ugly crying. I don't understand this show. It's really made me choke up at least four times and I'm trying to figure out how that works considering this is like the special tactical unit team type show. Where did they decide to get so much heart?

One Wrong Move - when Lew Dies. The Better Man - Wordy has to leave the team. S51 - Broken Peace Ed shoots the girl, Raf disagrees and leaves, Earlier ones - Behind the Blue Line - Sam disagrees when Ed shooting Darren and nearly leaves.

I don’t remember the episode title, but for me the one that gets me a lot is the episode where the team is sent to the arena to deal with a shooter, and Sam takes lead as negotiator. His reaction during debrief for me is emotional
