I was expecting to see Ashes and Dust a lot higher on the list. Because what you mentioned is only in the episode's opening.
(spoilers below)
They proceed to trace it to a group of environmental activists who had that house and others that were torched on a warning list, think the head of the organization is planning to stage a big one but later discover he's preparing for an inevitable death of cancer from exposure to hazardous and poorly contained chemicals, he disbands the group, which infuriates the killer and causes him to start attacking people at random, and before they can track down and arrest the killer, the group's founder lures the killer to a dump site that is slated to become a school and purposely starts the fire early and kills them both.

Criminal Minds, Into The Woods. Is an episode that relates to me. When the kids, like Robert uses his selfless act to give his little sister to escape. In the end, they both rescued. Not all characters, notably young people. Need to have complex ideals. Some people like me, have simplistic ideal views of the world. The kids should have stayed with their parents for supervision and safety. I can defend myself. But, I am intuitive, extraverted, curious, have spatial awareness, get mad a little bit, happy, a crybaby, passionate, and need attention. I view the world through my childlike escapism and creativity. I am glad to be pampered baby boy child. I still have the mindset of a child. That is my philosophy here.

Seven Seconds Will always be my number one tear jerking episode When I saw this episode I even noticed some red flags The first red flag was when Prentice was talking to the boy And the uncle and aunt Cut Prentice off By guilt tripping their own son in the process There are also a few others from of uncle Talking to Prentice about katie To the aunt who Wanted to be by her son while being interrogated And the fourth red flag. Was actually when The aunt brought up a lighter that she was having a engraved for her husband This episode not only made me cry But it also Pissed me off It's like you don't even know a person even if they're related to you You still don't know who they are

Criminal Minds is a special show. Most fictional crime shows like this often make killers out to be just unempathetic people who kill in cold blood over small things. However Criminal Minds often does the opposite, letting you see things from the killer's point of view and quite often makes you almost feel bad for the people the BAU hunt for. I still remember the season 4 episode Normal where your average everyday family man is turned into a spree killer when his daughter is tragically hit by a car right in front of him. Its amazing how often I find myself crying for the killers as much as the victims in this show.

This show knows how make me cry.
Riding the light is my favorite episode. I cry every time. Poor Sara Jean. Her life was horrible. And it is amazing how she could save the love in her heart for Riley, the pure mother's love.
The relationships between her and Jason. Even the guard knew Sara Jean is innocent.
Also Haley's death were devastated. She was a very strong woman till the end.

To me True Night episode should be closer to the top it's a truly tragic episode all around. other episodes are sad but in True night it's just hurt after hurt and tragedy after tragedy for a young couple just on the cusp of a whole future but the hurt for the guy keeps coming when they have to tell him what happened and he had a psychotic break

My girlfriend watches this LIMPDK show. The one longhaired guy is the one character that I kept hoping would face a terribly painful death. And then find out the whole time all he had down there was just a mangina. . BTW I'm 6-5, weigh about 290, and a former United States Marine. I'd LOVE to meet the actor, and show him what a REAL MAN is.

I dont remember the title, but the episode that starts with the movie theater fire, the episode where the guy turns his victims into puppets to save his father, and the kill that used tobacco soaked dress are pretty sad to me. Really, any episode where the killer doesnt understand that they are hurting people are the worst

What about the episode with the Mentally disabled guy and his brother who was on bed rest and kidnapped the homeless folks and drove them across Canada. It was a 2 part episode I believe but I felt so bad for the guy because he was just following his borthers orders and didn't know any better when took the girl.

Love that episode with Samantha where Spencer goes from basically sweet and innocent to her knowing what she's been through to literally telling her dad I can destroy you with merely words put you in a jail people that know what they do to people like you and I can sleep soundly at night listening to your screams

18: 52 The moment she moved her gun from her hostage head and was going for her head I would have shot her dead in the head; I love the characters in criminal minds but sometimes their reaction time and logic on how to handle certain situations can be extremely foolish.

I have to say SPOILER
The episode where Erin dies devastates me. When she was introduced I did not like her at all. Her development over the season and humanizing her. For all her flaws Hotch being there in her final moments after all there issues is heart wrenching

9: 21 In all honesty, they shouldn't have killed Gideon's character off they should have just gotten another actor to play him, I know it wouldn't have been the same without mandy patinkin but he really didn't deserve to end the way he did!

Don't remember the exact episode. But Hotch suddenly began having internal bleeding due to the old injuries from Foyet. While fighting for his life he sees Hailey and Foyet in dream sequence and has to say goodbye to her all over again.

While what happened to Samantha in The Uncanny Valley is horrific the actress does a great job in the episode so much so she is the only tv serial killer who to this day scares the crap out of me

I always get mad at the Ride the Lightning episode. In real life, the woman would be given stay of execution immediately if evidence was brought up her son was still alive.

The saddest thing abiout Strauss's death was the forceful drinking, not least cos it ensured her death but it threw away and perverted everything she fought so hard for. :(

I cant believe the toll this took on the actors that played the roles.
Even playing this as make-believe is difficult, disgusting, and full of despair.

JJ had the best arc in the show imo. Every show about her was heartbreaking.
But still, 100 was the hardest hitting episode. Makes me cry like a baby

I read somewhere that Gideon's death was actually supposed to be a successful mission than a suicide, but the show actually bailed on that concept.
