* The episode wherein Wanda gives up her pet "Bella". For ''any'' kid, this can be tough to watch. It gives a pretty good {{Anvilicious}} aesop about not keeping wild animals as pets (Even though American Bullfrogs ''are'' often kept as pets), but it's one that's needed.

* In the butterfly episode, Janet mocks Phoebe's suggestion of making butterflies the school mascot but that's not the TearJerker. The TearJerker is when Janet [[ManipulativeBastard suggests that Phoebe is sabotaging them because they're playing her old school]]. The rest of the class immediately turns on Phoebe, to her obvious fear and confusion. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Nonetheless, she maintains a strong stand and displays to the class the reasons for her suggestion throughout the episode.]]

* Mikey's first appearance has one if you look more closely. Imagine being in Carlos' shoes and having all of your closest friends react to the idea of your brother even showing up like you're calling down doomsday.
