* When Holt's sister Debbie reveals that the reason she showed up isn't just to have someone to vent to in her typical 'drama queen' fashion, but because her husband left her after she found him sleeping around. Holt's face just [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone ''falls'']] as he realises how inadvertently selfish he's been by trying to push his little sister away out of his own desire for stoicism.

** Debbie herself is tearjerkingly [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness subdued]] as she explains the blow she's suffered, before visibly perking herself up to tell him everything's okay and she'll deal with her problems by herself.
** It's in passing and somewhat played for laughs (due to Holt's customary stilted delivery) but when he unloads all ''his'' drama on Debbie, one of the things stressing him out is obviously not made up for the moment: he and Kevin fought about Kevin's sabbatical to Paris and he misses him.

* "The Golden Child" is mainly a comedy episode, but it has a few sobering bits:
** When Amy hits her RageBreakingPoint and calls out David for his bragging. David doesn't help by saying Amy is jealous of him because she could never measure up. It quickly segues into MoodWhiplash when they begin a dance-off and believe they need to use their forearms, but Jake is pretty horrified.
** David's two JerkassRealization moments; one where Amy fakes a fall to secure the evidence needed to clear his name, and suffers a minor concussion. He's tending to her and looks guilty as Jake lets them into the secret room. Then when the Brazilian mob enforcers catch Jake and stuff him into a car to kill at a remote location, David immediately surrenders his gun to Amy to shoot. She makes him take the shot because she has a concussion and he's the better marksman. By the end of the episode, David sincerely thanks Amy for helping him considering she and her husband risked their lives to save his butt.

!!Season 1
* In "The Party", we find out why Kevin forbids cop stories at his and Holts house - it's not the stories, it's the ''cops''. As Holt's longtime partner, he's been forced to watch his lover deal with the endless crap being piled on him for his race and sexuality by the NYPD, to the point where he's grown to resent the police. There's a good deal of real life subtext too, the NYPD does ''not'' have a good track record with either internal corruption or public relations, and is only slightly edged out by the LAPD in the sheer amount of complaints they've gotten.

* While played for BlackComedy, pretty much the entire character of Adrian Pimento. He spent 12 years undercover working for one of the most vicious mobsters in New York, and all the horrible things he's been forced to do and had done to him has pretty much destroyed him, giving him extreme levels of PTSD you usually only see in veteran soldiers or war refugees.

** There's Amy's side of why she is determined to see the victim get the win. When she was in her old precinct, she had a mentor that helped her throughout her journey until she made detective. Then, during dinner, her captain tried to kiss her because he felt he deserved it for helping her out. All Amy could do was run out of the restaurant and transfer to the 99. Even worse, she still felt that she did not truly deserve the promotion due to that event.

* YankTheDogsChain occurs when Holt thinks he got the position of commissioner . . . only to read the email more closely and see the "not", and the job went to a mediocre white dude who wants to reinforce "search and frisk". Holt's HeroicBSOD sends him to a Mexican resort without any luggage, where he buys novelty t-shirts and wallows in self-pity. When Jake and Amy sacrifice their couple time to cheer him up, he decides to quit the force and pursue life because he can't do more good than he has. Amy has to tie him spread-eagled to a bed and yell at him to make him reconsider, and so he decides to get rid of the search and frisk procedure by complaining to the mayor.

* The main plot of "The Wednesday Incident" is suprisingly sad for this show. Jake briefly views Holt fighting three muggers as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

** The ending is a crowning moment of heartwarming, but people who've been rejected for their sexuality (or are otherwise estranged from their bio-family) might cry anyways. When Rosa is devastated by her parents reaction, the 99 shows up for [[TrueCompanions family game night]]. And Captain Holt, who knows what Rosa's going through all-to-well, all-too-well, [[NotSoStoic gives a heartfelt speech about how he's proud of her things will get better, and gives her a hug.]]

** Made even sadder by the fact that three episodes prior ("Two Turkeys") Rosa was excited to spend more time with her family [[spoiler:after her stay in prison]]. Just as they were reconnecting, they hit a stumbling block.

'''Rosa:''' So you would rather me be some dude's mistress than be in a loving relationship with a woman? Well, Jake and I aren't dating. But guess what? Your worst fears are real. I'm not straight. I'm bisexual.

* Rosa's parents have an exceptionally hard time accepting her bisexuality. Although her father later says that he loves her and will try his best to try and understand her desires and choices, he also asks that she stop coming over for game night because it will upset her mother. The normally stoic Rosa can't help but shed a tear.

** Rosa finding out that her parents were more okay with the idea of her dating Jake while he's engaged to Amy than they would be with her dating a woman during the dinner with her parents is also quite heartbreaking.
-->'''Oscar:''' Mijita, when you called this dinner, you were so nervous, we were worried you were gonna tell us you were gay.\\
