** Episode #1578 has Daniel wondering if he is a mistake, just because he's not like other tigers. If you really think about it, Daniel is questioning his ''own existence''. [[http://www.neighborhoodarchive.com/music/songs/sometimes_wonder_mistake.html Part of the lyrics in the song that follows]] are especially tearjerking. Thing is, however, this episode actually hits home with many children who had verbally abusive parents, and those kids found peace in the episode. The documentary ''Won't You Be My Neighbour?'' twists the knife in the wound, pointing out that Rogers struggled with depression his entire life. It likely wasn't just Daniel questioning his existence in that scene.

* The documentary ''Won't You Be My Neighbor?'' shows how Rogers battled depression later in his life, wondering whether his show actually made any difference in the world. He was particularly shaken by 9/11, as evinced by the footage included of his filming the [=PBS=] spots afterwards and struggling not to cry between takes. This makes his dedication to being so accessible to his fans, and not letting his mask slip in public, even more admirable and heart-rendering.

** On the topic of the Conflict week, special mention has to go to the ending of the Friday episode of the week. Mister Rogers sings Good Feeling as usual, but then instead of leaving then and there, he reflects back on the week by talking about war and peace, then singing a simple song about peace and quiet. Then he ends on "I wish you peace" before displaying a [[AsTheGoodBookSays Bible verse]] [[note]]Isaiah 2:4[[/note]] preaching against war. Especially given the context of the Cold War happening at the time, it really does come off as a heart-wrenching end to one of the darkest weeks of the entire show.

** In episode #1509, Lady Aberlin gets caught up in the busy preparations of the Neighborhood picnic, and forgets to pick up Daniel, who she promised to walk with to said picnic. When she finds this out, she immediately rushes to the clock and apologizes to her disappointed friend. The two proceed to have a talk about this as Lady Aberlin recalls a time when her best friend forgot to come to her birthday party. Thankfully, they make up, but Lady Aberlin just looks so distraught, it's hard not to feel sorry for her as well.
--> '''Lady Aberlin''': ''(obviously concerned)'' Does it make you feel like we aren't really friends?
--> '''Daniel Tiger''': Kind of, but... I don't know why... but not really.
--> '''Lady Aberlin''': You know we're friends, Daniel.
--> '''Daniel Tiger''': Yes, it seems like we just are.
--> '''Lady Aberlin''': I'm still so sorry.
--> '''Daniel Tiger''': I'm not as sad as I was before. Before you came and talked to me.

* A scene in episode #1591 has a moment that counts as both this and extremely heartwarming. Mr. [=McFeely=] delivers Mister Rogers a videotape, which was supposed to show how harmonicas were made. After he leaves, Mister Rogers finds out he received the wrong tape, but being ever so flexible, watches it anyway, which shows how gardening hoses are made. However, Mr. [=McFeely=] returns and reveals that a customer who was supposed to receive the gardening hose tape, had reprimanded him for receiving the wrong copy. Anyone who's made a mistake at work and put down by a customer can definitely relate and Mr. [=McFeely=] almost looks very torn up, especially when he asks Mister Rogers if he has made any bad deliveries. The rest of the scene with Fred being so understanding is just too precious for words, as he sings him "You Are Special".

** A later episode from 1993 also dealt with the subject of death. In the episode, a crestfallen Mr. McFeely finds a dead bird and asks Mister Rogers for a box, so he can bury it at home. If that weren't enough, during the Neighborhood of Make Believe segments, King Friday recalls a pet bird he used to own who died, Henrietta dresses as an old lady much to the dismay of X the Owl, and Daniel wonders if his trucks will die.

** Poor Daniel is reduced to tears in episode #1512 after a game of tag with Lady Elaine and her imaginary friends goes wrong. He is upset that everyone runs away from him, even though that's the point of the game. It's one of those moments in which Lady Elaine went a bit too far and it's ESPECIALLY not helped when she seemingly shows no remorse, snarking that Daniel can't take a joke. Lady Aberlin convinces the little tiger that he doesn't have to play games that he doesn't want to play.

** In episode #1624, when Neighbor Aber dresses up as a wolf, she briefly gets scared of him when he shows up. She then explains that she doesn't like wolves because someone once called her a big bad wolf.
** In the second-to-last episode (#1764) before the series finale, Lady Elaine angers King Friday, causing him to shout, "Why must you stick your big nose into everyone's business?" Lady Aberlin later finds Elaine hiding under a quilt and feeling bad about herself until the former reassures her she's perfect the way she is. This causes a tearful Elaine to cry and realize that people don't have nice things to say about her because of vice-versa.

** In episode #1292, after a few episodes of Daniel being excited about his upcoming birthday, Daniel learns that Purple Panda doesn't have a birthday (as he was made and not born.) Since Purple Panda is so sad about it, Daniel gives him his own birthday... but by the next episode, he is sick and crying with remorse because he thinks he can't ever have anymore birthdays. Fortunately Yoshi Ito explains to him that two people can have the same birthday and he starts to feel better, but it's still quite poignant that he was willing to give up something happy for himself rather than let another person be upset.

* In episode #1224, Daniel is worried about whether or not Bob Dog is a tame animal, so he puts up signs on his clock reading "No Dogs Allowed". Bob Dog is obviously saddened by this at first, but then he manages to convince Daniel otherwise, relieving him from his worries. Though it's a slightly OutOfCharacterMoment for kind Daniel, it is understandable, considering his fear from two episodes earlier, in which he accidentally scratched Handyman Negri. That having been said, it's still a pretty hard scene to watch, and poor Bob Dog even remains silent during most of this scene, though he eventually starts talking again as Daniel feels better.
