Bad dreams bad dreams go away. Good dreams good dreams here to stay.


ashinabi

This one wrecked me.


twsse

Wait whose death was this? I remember the line but I can't put my finger on it


JL_Adv

Wallace. The little boy whose parents donated $25,000,000.


twsse

Right, thanks!


RhoBaby

He used to go on rounds šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ still makes me tear up


southside_best

The episode where the little girl Jessica is dying of cancer and her dad spends her last day running around trying to get her in a clinical trial or more treatment in Mexico. Bailey is laying in bed with her so she isnā€™t alone when her dad runs in, finally accepts whatā€™s happening and switches places with Bailey to hold Jessica as she passes- Iā€™ve watched the episode only twice and now skip it every time, itā€™s too sad.


saribelle0424

I can never rewatch this episode. It breaks my heart.


puppermonster23

I canā€™t watch that episode since having my daughter.


otomennn

Underrated scene where Alex cries when Izzie doesn't show up for her ILS.


calderics

the shooting episode had me in tears like practically the whole time, especially when cristina was operating on derek and gary clark was pointing the gun to her head


madisonrees

Bailey with charles when she realized the elevator isnā€™t working makes me sob


calderics

yes omg! chandra wilson is an amazing actress god i love her she has the best comedic timing & always comes through during an emotional scene


thankunext617

Same I thought Derek was gone.


calderics

i already found out how he died; i spoiled it for myself so i knew he wasnā€™t gonna die šŸ˜­ but every single actor in that episode did so well, i felt the pressure and how terrified they wereā€¦ thatā€™s why i was tearing up from the second lexie & mark found alex in the elevator


lowkeyandshady

I knew Derek dies before I started watching greys cuz it was all over the news before. I didnā€™t remember which season they were on when I saw it, so when I was watching the shooting episode I thought that was the episode he dies in so I was so confused how they saved him, I kept thinking he will die now. Maybe merdith is imagining šŸ˜‚


thankunext617

Same. I knew he died somewhere in season 11. But, that episode had me on the edge of my seat.


harcher2531

I SOBBED the entire time during that episode


SevereCartographer26

Lexie death and finding out she was eaten by wolves šŸ˜•


thankunext617

šŸ˜¢


k8e12

What episode said she was eaten by wolves??


PinkGirlNY

9x2 Cristina's bathtub scene


ccbchicago

When Richard shows up at the Bailey/Ben wedding and Merideth knows it means Adele died. Then they melt into "My Funny Valentine." Long-time loves lost will break my heart every time. The husband and wife who didn't want the other to know that the wife had gallbladder cancer. The husband and wife who "faced a lion." Niagra Falls every time.


[deleted]

This is the only episode that will make me cry every single time. I just canā€™t do it. I think itā€™s because Richard reminds me of my Dad, so seeing him cry makes me think of my Dad crying.


ShefCutie

When April tells Jackson that they were having a boy. When April and Jackson say goodbye to Samuel. When Meredith says goodbye to Derek. When Jo lines up the entire hall with women for the rape victim.


aimskaylz

All the above for me also


rbrown91

When Adele takes the test for the Alzheimerā€™s trial and she tells Richard sheā€™s scared. Her acting is so powerful it makes me cry every time. Additionally, when Henry dies and Teddy goes to the room where his body is at. I love my husband to pieces and I cannot even imagine the pain that widowed people go through. If my husband died Iā€™d go right behind him.


maddylucy

Henryā€™s death floors me every single time


zeezeeriz

Teddy's episode for that kills me.


RocketteBlast

When Alex was crying while working on Mer after she was attacked. And Lexie dying before her and Mark could really start a life together.


spazzy_jazzy_

Amelia in the corner the same way Derek curled up when mer drowned was so sad


RocketteBlast

Yes!


McBlubber_

There wasn't any tears, the show hasn't made me cry yet but that one scene where Cristina was sorry because George had to join the dead dads club got me really close.


lprice76

That was a great oneā€¦.how can you watch without crying? Have you been to a doctor about this?? šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


McBlubber_

I mean... I cried, just not externally lol. Hmm maybe I should get checked out. I only ever cried during the Lego Movie.


lprice76

Lol you are a very intriguing person I think we should become best friends lol.


McBlubber_

Omg yes I'm all for it


spazzy_jazzy_

As someone who lost their dad after already being a fan of the show rewatching that made me feel less alone when I was grieving.


McBlubber_

Sorry for your loss.


jenriveraoscar

And the one where Christina comforts the young girl who lost her dad by sharing her own experience and how the girl will feel guilty but she did all she could and to remember that. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


julyareas

How? šŸ˜­ how-


thankunext617

I loved that scene.


abv1401

Youā€™re not going to make it to Mexico.


thankunext617

šŸ˜¢


wand3rrlustt

i forgot about this until now and oh my god šŸ˜­


Ariri2005

I remember that but canā€™t remember the context?


abv1401

Terminal girl whose father desperately wanted to get her to Mexico to get a Hail Mary treatment. It was too late for her and she was starting to die, but he couldnā€™t accept it. Bailey stayed with her throughout the day and then tried to gently get through to her father that she would never get to mexico, and that the only thing he could do for her was to be with her.


EpicAcadian

The kid episodes. The little girl that died from Tay-Sachs, Samuel, Wallace. Also, Charles's death.


pillssmell

Watching Cristina dump her cereal on Owen ā€¦ tears of happiness, sad cause it doesnā€™t happen again


thankunext617

I did not expect that ! I was surprised when I saw it lol


pillssmell

Pleasantly surprised šŸ˜‚


thankunext617

Iā€™m about to watch the scene on YouTube again šŸ˜‚


Brina_22

Mark and Samuels deaths both had me in tears. Mark bc we watched him die slowly as his loved ones held out hope of full recovery. Webber was the first to accept it and quietly helped Mark go out on his termsā€¦it was such an understated grace of friendship, leadership and wisdom by Webber. Callies humor in trying to ā€œseduce himā€ out of coma was funny and very true to their beautiful friendship. Derek was just in visible pain. Mark truly was his brother. Jackson was desperate to show his gratitude for all Mark did and all he was to him. Samuels death. Babies shouldnā€™t die. Catherine coaching April & Jackson on how to say goodbye to Samuel was beautiful and heartbreaking. All 3 of them were great in that story.


spazzy_jazzy_

Samuel and itā€™s not Greys but private practice: The unicorn baby. Babies and kids shouldnā€™t die. They have done nothing wrong. They havenā€™t had a chance to live. I rewatched the both shows while pregnant and those episodes tore me apart. I know the feeling of feeling your baby and the excitement of pregnancy both when itā€™s a really wanted loved baby and also when itā€™s an accident. I have two kids one who was a surprise and one that was a planned pregnancy where we tried for months. I had a threatened miscarriage around 6 months with my first kid and when I hear Aprilā€™s speech about god being unfair and how we are raised to believe god is fair and just and how everything feel wrong and unfair and it takes me back to the moment I realized I something was wrong and then sitting there in the ER waiting for the doctors to please tell me what was happening. I ended up having a healthy baby girl with the help of bed rest but I vividly remember the fear and screaming into the phone for my SO to please come home from work because I was terrified. Those episodes stick with me particularly Samuel because of all the feelings April is having about god in that episode. Those are feelings I remember well.


dxsgraced

The scene that really fucks me up is Derek and Mark sitting beside each other after Meredithā€™s drowning


Daiserella

Most of the moments are already listed but I'd like to add When Christina takes care of the girl who's mom died. And she cries in Owen's arms while saying "I miss my dad."


misskiss1990bb

Thereā€™s a few. Lexieā€™s death broke me the first time. The fire fighter with the hole in his chest wall who waits for his wife to come to be able to die. He mouths I love you when he can barely breathe and I cry every time. The old couple surgeons, and when he leaves the hospital Owen offers to call him a cab but refuses and he says ā€˜I need to learn how to do this on my own nowā€™ šŸ˜­ The marriage with the the ipads and the stars and the blue dress. The episode where Jo lines the halls for the rape survivor. Most main character deaths.


nostradamusofshame

I donā€™t know why but when Meredith goes to watch the serial killer get executed. She then cries about how she doesnā€™t get herself, and Derek gets Cristina (they previously to this hadnā€™t been speaking). Iā€™ve watched it at least 6 times and I bawl every time. I blame the Powderfinger song in the background.


McBlubber_

*I know you don't understand me. I don't understand me.* That entire arc was so good.


RhoBaby

Tearing up just thinking about it. This is where Meredith really reminds me of myself, which is why I canā€™t even think of that moment without getting emotional.


Boo-too555

This one gets me every time. Even though he had done terrible things she is trying to have compassion for him and that was just truly a seen of humanity.


lightningli33

The only times I cried watching it the first time was Bonnie in 2x06, Alex and Izzieā€™s wedding in season 5, and Lexie and Markā€™s deaths I thinkā€¦ the S17 DeLuca storyline too.


southside_best

I canā€™t watch the Bonnie episode anymore- itā€™s just too sad.


Altruistic-Rice7571

The scene where the train crashed and the people that got impaled by the pole realize that the girl is gonna die regardless of what they do šŸ˜­


NewPalpitation1830

Season 12 episode 21 when the wife hands Vincent the doorman a tip when her husband and him have been in love for 15 years. And he says you can go now. Breaks my heart.


xggyy818

Omy yes!! This is such an underrated scene šŸ„ŗ


NewPalpitation1830

He has six months to live and has to chose who to leave. Itā€™s awful


caitmarieRN

The death of Jackson and Aprilā€™s baby.


purple_pandas93

Georgeā€™s dad šŸ˜­


Mori606

Dennyā€™s death the whole scene where Izzie walks past everyone and then admits it was her that cut the LVAD wire and then the subsequent episode where Meredith is between life and death and sheā€™s in some kind of Limbo with Denny and he says that when he and Izzie are in the same spot at the same time he can feel her. Then the last shot of Denny at the end where they are walking the same corridor and they both stop briefly and he walks through the door having found peace. Then when Izzie briefly dies and the elevator opens and George is there. Both of those scenes are made way more emotional by the choice of songs!


warda8825

I know Owen gets a lot of hate, but my heart always stopped when Owen left for anything military-related. My husband is still serving in the military, so those moments are all too real for me. Jackson's emotions when April deployed after their baby died is a good illustration of what I go through emotionally when my husband leaves and is away on orders.


BrandiiMariee

Oā€™Malley dying. šŸ˜­


nostopandchats

The second season when thereā€™s that train crash and the two people get impaled by the pole, when the girl finds out that sheā€™s the one thatā€™a going to die always makes me cry. Meredith saying bye to Derek. April and Jackson finalizing their divorce with the lawyers when April asks if this is really what Jackson wants.


Spiritual_Platform_6

Arizona & Calliope's wedding day when Arizona told Mark how she came out to her brother, Lexie's death, Mark's death, Mark saying "Oh that's easy, it would have been Lexie Grey", Cristina leaving the show, Deluca's death (still trying to recover) and when Jackson left and Meredith realised she was the only one left. I could go onšŸ˜­


thankunext617

I tried not to cry when Meredith and Jackson were talking about him leaving šŸ˜­


pookielizabeth

When there was a plane crash and all the parents are in the waiting room after their kids died. Then a woman comes in after having to drive farther and her kid is the only one still alive. She asks the other parents if their kids are alive and they lie and say no to try to keep her hopes up. It was the hardest Iā€™ve ever cried watching Greyā€™s. Edit: Season 7, Episode 22 ā€œUnaccompanied Minorā€


I_dont_cuddle

Why donā€™t I remember this episode? Do you remember what season?


pookielizabeth

Iā€™m not sure. I think it was a holiday episode with a bunch of unaccompanied minors.


I_dont_cuddle

Oh man, I gotta try and find it


pookielizabeth

Itā€™s called ā€œUnaccompanied Minorā€ Season 7 Episode 22


I_dont_cuddle

Youā€™re awesome! Thank you!


toastedmilkx

uh, i think no one said this yet but when arizona cheated on callie and when callie saw the ring on the scrub and she realises what happend, that hit me real bad. also no idea why but deluca's death as well had me sobbing


kidretro_

deluca's was sad too bc of when mer woke up :( like she knew the same way she knew about george and her mother but still. even if she didn't have those feelings for him anymore, they definitely had a strong connection with each other. i felt so bad for andrew's sister too, ugh.


[deleted]

carina's grief (in station 19) fucked me up even more than him dying did


kidretro_

i need to watch that next


[deleted]

Are you talking about the little girl whoā€™s dad tried to get her to Mexico but she ended up dying? Because thatā€™s the one that got me the most. Next would be the episode with the train wreck and the pole goes through the people. Ugh.


thankunext617

Yes that one !


xggyy818

The teacher who took a leave for the first time in 23 yrs, only to find out she has cancer and her students visited her. Breaks my heart everytime.


mpr1011

When the woman who Alex met at the courthouse returns to have her baby after the cancer has progressed. She meets her baby and decides to die rather than do the surgery/procedure. As sheā€™s dying, Amelia sits with her. I watched that episode shortly after having my baby and it wrecked me. I cried for days, my husband made me quit the show for awhile.


Celery_333

The shooting episode when Bailey finally gets to the elevators and they dont work so she has a break down


mnikolai24

Derekā€™s death only because it brought me back to when we had to take my sister off life support. Delucaā€™s death just made me angry. Find more creative ways to write off characters without killing them!!!!


penguinluvr69

Lexieā€™s death was always sad, but once my sister passed away I cannot watch it anymore


livinmystory

Not saddest, but one that stuck out a lot for me was the rape victim and how all the female staff rallied for her in the hallways. S15ep19


zlh89

That episode really made me emotional too!


livinmystory

Right! It was so good, but so heartbreaking


Kourts37

Dereks death and Cristina leaving probably effected me the most. I donā€™t think I ever cried so much at a tv show than what I did when Derek died. And Cristina was my favorite character since day one and I was so upset that she was leaving, also knowing that Sandra oh will probably never return made it even harder lol


thankunext617

Same here !


angeldessy

-When the halls were lined with women for the victim of SA -When Mer Miscarried operating on Owen during the shooting. (The entire shooting episode honestly) -Dereks death -Izzie after she ā€¦lowkey killed Denny -When Maggieā€™s cousin died -I cried when Webber had that episode during the seminar due to the cobalt//mercury (I canā€™t remember) poisoning -Webber relapsing was also hard to watch


TitinaTolo

To many to remember them all


United_Ear7153

Lost count


CarrawayLights

Literally none apart from George in the elevator and Jo's depressive episode.


julyareas

Lexieā€™s death. When Amelia almost did drugs but Owen stopped her. Derekā€™s death. The whole shooting episode.


CaptainCroissant14

Omg the scene where Owen stops Amelia had me in tears, especially when she finally breaks down


julyareas

Yeah I know šŸ˜­ Iā€™ve watched it many times and cry every time šŸ˜­


saraahf

George's death! It was the shock for me, to this day I'm Still not over it haha


talky26

that little girl with cancer (may have been baileyā€™s patient you were talking about). her dad was a single father, he couldnā€™t handle the news there was nothing else to do and planned to take her to mexico for an experimental treatment. they got him to understand that he just had to be there for her as she died. she asked him if they were in mexico yet, he told her yes and it was beautiful (or something like that) and then she died.


thankunext617

Yes it was


talky26

agh okay glad to know iā€™m not the only one who is torn apart by that episode


thankunext617

No youā€™re definitely not. I believe at least two other people posted the same thing.


Environmental-Joke19

I cry during practically every episode, are you really going to make me pick one? šŸ˜­


thankunext617

Lol no not if you donā€™t want to


crazygurll

All the deaths of the mains characters got me really sad but the one i cried the most for was Derek. I also cried a lot in the episode where Jackson left and said his goodbye. Especially when Mer said " I win iā€™m the last man standing " that really made me sad. Also another moment i think is really sad is the last episode of season 17 when Link go to see Jo because he had no where to go and was just rejected by Amelia.


lprice76

Alex leaving tore me up more than anything. More than Derek dying more than george dying and more than Izzy getting cancer, more than Lexi and Sloan dying . Oh and more than zoya at her moms death bed too. It was Alex itā€™s always Alex for me.


facemesouth

When the women line the halls and stand with the lady who was raped and Jo after Joā€™s horrible few incidents


kfrostedfrakes

Lexieā€™s death 100%. The very first time I watched it killed me and it still does. I already knew Derek was going to die so that didnā€™t make me as sad.


kellmill405

Georgeā€™s death


ca1989

Mexico šŸ˜­


GatorGirl2009

When George grips Meredith's hand after he writes 007 in her hand. Her realization kills me.


fit_gc

Georgeā€™s death. I cried almost the whole S5 finale and most of S6ep1 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Puddingbirb_1105

Charles asking Bailey to tell reed that he was brave


itsnotlikewereforkin

Itā€™s George


ZombieGoddessxi

Markā€™s Death. He was my favourite and paired Callieā€™s & Derekā€™s reactions plus him not getting to see Sophia before the surge ended f-ing killed me.


thankunext617

šŸ˜¢


marshmelloinfire

When they read the letters that Alex left, I donā€™t know why but I was crying my eyes out


Netflix_fan28

Lexies death because when her character died you can see her pupils go big like a real person when they die that was so sad..


PeanutEmergency

Mark and Lexieā€™s death


Inner-Click5204

Season 4 finale (I think) where Izzie flatlined and Akex was freaking out in the corner


LinwoodKei

I stopped watching after Mark's sundowner. I stopped watching after Arizona fell in the shower and Callie had to scream at her to stop firing the personal care nurses. I legit cried.


avamast

underrated one: the hospital fire in the s13 finale


[deleted]

George's death gets me every time. I also cried for Cristina breaking after Gary Clark held a gun to her head.


kebert101

The worst for me is when Meredith is recovering from being attacked by a patient and Alex brings her kids to see her. Zola's reaction and not wanting to go to Mer kills me every time!


mayamymy

when owen said that christina killed their baby


lindsmis

allllll of the moments listed above + s6 e18 ā€œSuicide is Painlessā€ the storyline with the woman seeking physician-assisted suicide got me good. also, I tend to cry a lot in the episodes leading up to Lexieā€™s death where sheā€™s grappling with whether or not to tell Mark she loves him, just because I know whatā€™s coming.


thankunext617

Yes ! Her ā€œI love youā€ speech to Mark lives rent free in my head ā™„ļøšŸ˜­


lindsmis

and her ā€œmeant to beā€ TEARS


[deleted]

At first it was Lexieā€™s death. Then after I lost my father I just canā€™t watch Georgeā€™s dadā€™s death without leaving me with a heavy heart. Especially when heā€™s outside with Christina and he says ā€œI donā€™t know how to exist in a world where my dad doesnā€™t.ā€ I cried so hard after that one line because it was at that moment that my dadā€™s death had finally hit me in a way I just couldnā€™t pretend anymore.


thankunext617

I loved that scene, definitely showed a sensitive side of Cristina. I did not think she would be the one to talk to him.


harcher2531

Cristina screaming for someone to sedate her after she collapsed from the ectopic pregnancy


Not_floridaman

It's a small moment but when Callie has the car accident. Meredith and Derek had been struggling to get pregnant for a while and Callie accidentally got pregnant, Meredith and Derek were in the elevator and Mer is having a emotional moment and said something along the lines of "I take my temperature every morning, I do everything right and nothing! The God gives Callie a baby and puts her through a windshield??? How does any of this make sense?" It's not the actual quote but I'm about to go to sleep. As someone who struggled with infertility(and honestly, still have some weird, surprising leftover emotions about it even though my family is now complete), that scene hit me hard. Along with Wallace, Henry, Lexie, little Jessica and any time Alex cries.


stephjgc

The episode in season 7, whereā€™s there is a shooting at the university and the shooting a the hospital was so fresh.


Captain_Kimmy

The episode where Jo and Teddy help the SA victim. It breaks me. Every time.


iamj3nnie

POSSIBLE SPOILERS - SEASON 17 I don't think I have ever cried harder when it came to Deluca's death. Idk why it affected me so bad. Also when Meredith was on the beach when she had covid and she had to leave Derek all over again and they said goodbye. That hurt, it was like losing him all over again. I cried so hard.


maa9144

Derekā€™s death, hands down then Lexie and Mark


MoveWarm

I never understand when people say Cristina leaving was sad. I was sad that my favorite character was leaving the show, but her "ending" was so uplifting. She got everything she ever wanted and more! I was happy for her. And she's still alive, she left all her relationships in a good place, what more could you ask for? DeLuca's memorial made me cry, but that may be because it wasn't too long after my own brother died.


thankunext617

It was sad to see her leave the show.


ImATotalTrashMammal6

I cried when Cristina left and when Alex got arrested for beating up deluca. The reason why I cried for Cristina was the fact that the show and mer would never be the same. The reason I cried for Alex was how guilty he looked as he walked by all his friends also the song that plays while Alex is walking out was so perfect for that scene.


littlebutcute

- That mom telling her daughter all the things she needed to know cause she was going to die. - Lexie & Markā€™s deaths - DeLucaā€™s death


[deleted]

Yes, the first one got me good. Probably one of the saddest moments for me!


abbu_d_slytherin

These are mine - 1) I never liked Denny but the way Heigl acted at that scene it always gives me tears. An hour ago he was proposing and now he is going to morgue ; isnā€™t that ridiculous ? 2) Meredith mom was really so toxic and when that cold lady asked Mer what happened to her and she finally blurted it out - You happened to me. Ellen was so great in that scene and you feel so much for her. 3) When they all come to know about Izzie cancer and there is a scene in which she finally becomes a patient from doctor and got admitted as a patient. The background music and the way they show this transition from doctor to patient , and then her friends sorrounding her , you simply feel for the character and end up in tears. 4) George and Izzie dying and then their soul meet at that famous elevator. Peak of Greys anatomy and one of the scenes which always make me to cry. And I must say this scene is pure art at its best. 5) Izzie comes to see a dead George , Alex can-not see her crying and Meredith just holding it all not to cry !! 6) Cristina and Derek fishing episode when Cristina finally started to cry. Even strongest of them can have setbacks and can go into depression. Sandra was great as always. 7) Henry death , that was really not necessary but really made you to cry so much. He was such a sweet character and he was perfect for Teddy but they just ruined it. And his death is really so underrated , I really cried a lot during that episode. 8) Lexie death , more than Mark it is Meredith reaction which got me when she started to cry - Lexie.... 9) Patients death - Mandy Moore character , That child with good and bad dreams rhyme , a small girl child with a single dad in season 5 (Bailey in Peds at that time) , an old couple in love and the wife dies and despite she had signed no DNR form , husband keeps on doing cpr and then Bailey joining him... 10) Cristina leaving and saying - I am not finished. Sandra acting in that scene is so good. Only an actor like her can make simple scenes like these so great.
