* In "Lovers and Madmen," Maurice has to choose between salvaging his relationship with Barbara by recapturing a prisoner he let escape (and whose predicament he is slowly feeling responsible for), or letting the pitiable man go. When he chooses the latter and lies to protect the prisoner (Cal), Barbara knows what is happening and comes as close to pleading as a stoic like her can when she repeatedly asks Maurice if there is anything else he wants to add to his story and they sadly part ways.

* It can be sad watching considerate, mild-mannered violinist Cal Ingraham develop a deep connection to an instrument Maurice hires him to play and feel that Maurice will destroy its beautiful sound by keeping it locked away and not playing it. He tries to offer his relatively meager worldly assets to buy the violin from Maurice, and when that isn't enough, plots to kill Maurice, only to have a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment of introspection about how he's acting before a NiceJobBreakingItHero comment from Ed makes him commit again. He ends his debut in a mental institution.

* In "First Snow":
** Shelly lies to Maurice about having never told him she loved him, leaving him depressed at the thought that he was empty and insecure enough to invent their whole relationship in his mind (leaving her guilty as well), which culminates in him bulldozing a gazebo where they had one of their most romantic moments.
** Joel is left frustrated and despairing when one of his favorite patients expresses certainty she is about to die when he can find nothing medically wrong with her. Unusually (given his AgentScully tendencies), it isn’t because he doesn't believe her, but because he does (with good reason) in spite of the medical evidence and is wrongly convinced that her approaching death must be his fault due to some medical problem that he can't spot.

* In "Cicely," watching the eponymous TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth character develop an IncurableCoughOfDeath (implicitly from the cold in the town her lover Rosalyn brought her to) and then get shot during a MexicanStandoff is painful enough. However, its effect on everyone else (especially Rosalyn, who is on the verge of becoming an EmptyShell even before Cicely dies and completes the transition afterward) is equally devastating.

* The man Elaine left Joel for (something which she was sad and conflicted about) dies of a heart attack just a year later, and she revisits Joel more for a shoulder to cry on than a desire to rekindle their romance, which leads to a couple of sad early scenes in that episode when Joel isn't feeling sympathetic.

* Old wounds about Holling and Maurice's rivalry over Shelly are reopened, quite possibly due to Maurice's grief over Barbara dumping him when he was ready to propose leaving him in a bad mood. Holling visits Maurice to talk about how much their friendship means to him (complete with memories about their best shared experiences) and how sorry he is about the whole dilemma, while Maurice spends the whole scene glaring and not saying a word in response until Holling sadly leaves. This leads to a heartwarming moment at the end of the episode, though, after Maurice accepts he's being pigheaded, and they reconcile.
