History YMMV / SueThomasFBEye

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** In "The Signing", the team gets a new supervisor, making Sue nervous about having to impress a boss all over again. Myles doesn't help, and in fact he goes behind the others' backs to claim that Sue is a liability to the team. On her way home, Sue accidentally "oversees" a conversation between the new boss and someone else about getting Myles transferred. Instead of just sitting back and letting it happen, she stands up for him, despite the lack of reciprocation pointed out by the new boss.
** At the end of "The Leak", Myles has a panic attack after the enormity of almost being killed during a botched raid finally gets to him. Levi puts his head in Myles' lap for comfort and Sue agrees not to tell anyone about it, even if she suspects it might be a mistake. She does convince him to "reach out" to a therapist.
** In "The Fugitive", Wendy Stack, the abused wife of one of the week's perps, refuses to believe that her sister Gwen is working with her criminal husband willingly, despite the somewhat suspicious circumstances. She insists Gwen must be in trouble, which is ultimately confirmed -- Gwen was cooperating with the guy because he threatened her sister if she went against him. After the case is over, Wendy tells Gwen that her husband isn't going to hurt anyone ever again and they share a tearful hug.
** "Cold Case": Bobby gets entered into a BachelorAuction and Darcy took steps to ensure that a particular sweet older lady, Gladys Shelton, would win. Gladys can barely believe her luck. While Bobby is slow-dancing with his "date", Darcy calls attention to them, noting how Bobby is making Gladys feel like the most important person present. [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan She adds that one has to love a man who behaves like that.]]
** "[[Recap/SueThomasFBEyeS2E7BadHairDay Bad Hair Day]]": [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Myles]] bonding with Togo while he's forced to stay at the office.
** "[[Recap/SueThomasFBEyeS2E9TheGambler The Gambler]]":
*** When Levi runs away, the entire office pools their resources to help find him. Most touching of all is Myles, who was irritated at Levi for peeing on him right before an important meeting, calling him "Levi the wonder dog" and saying that either they'll find him, or he'll find them.
*** Jack, very upset after receiving confirmation that Bobby's gambling addiction has reasserted itself, confronts him in the parking lot. Bobby admits that he slipped, but he wants to hang in there for the mission, claiming that his experience with gambling can still help them catch "Red" Moreno.
---->'''Jack''': Getting Moreno isn't worth losing you.

* TearJerker:
** "Diplomatic Immunity": Indri Raga's story about the TraumaCongaLine of most of her life. She and her sister saw their parents murdered before being kidnapped and sold separately as slaves. Indri ultimately slit her wrists in her desperation to escape from her buyers' house. She got beaten nearly to death by the diplomat responsible when she approached him to buy her sister back. [[EarnYourHappyEnding Luckily, by the end of the episode, the FBI can arrest the diplomat, and they tell her they found her sister and will bring her in as soon as possible.]]
** "[[Recap/SueThomasFBEyeS1E10DirtyBomb Dirty Bomb]]": Terrell, one of the FBI's only leads in the case, is dying from radiation poisoning after opening a suitcase containing strontium. In desperation for more information, the FBI brings in his grandmother. He apologizes for not listening to her more, and she's naturally in tears. To make matters worse, Terrell dies before the agents can track down his brother Marcus. They NeverGotToSayGoodbye.
** "The Girl Who Signed Wolf": Worker John Beck gets kidnapped to help a terrorist cell make ricin under threat of them hurting his wife. When the FBI raids the initial lab, they find Mrs. Beck dying of ricin poisoning; the condition kills her before the FBI can locate the terrorists who are currently holding her husband. After Mr. Beck's gag is removed, one of the first things out of his mouth is a question about whether his wife is all right.
** "The Gambler" is one episode where both the main plot and the subplot go for the tear ducts.
*** Levi has been acting strangely, which the vet attributes to a reaction to his flea medication. Then, thanks to a mixup with Levi's sedative and a door being left open at the wrong time, he runs away. On his own in DC, he gets screamed at and nearly hit by a car and some construction debris. He just looks so lonely and sad, and Sue increasingly breaks down as she goes longer and longer without any sign of her CanineCompanion.
*** Bobby has a breakdown of his own. Despite Jack's protest about his past with addiction, he goes undercover as a gambler to catch a longtime criminal. Over the episode, Bobby unravels to the point that he goes through three credit cards, even earning some leniency from the casino owner who knows he can't pay for parking. Seeing the competent, cheerful agent that the viewer is familiar with fall to his addiction is rather painful.
** "To Grandmother's House We Go": Lucy's grandmother becomes frantic after losing her keys. When Sue tries to calm her, saying that she loses them sometimes too, Mrs. Dotson points out that it's different at her age. Once people think you're slipping, they start taking everything away from you.

In desperation for more information, the FBI brings in his grandmother. He apologizes for not listening to her more, and she's naturally in tears.

** In "A Snitch in Time", the subplot deals with the FBI workers trying to get a new office, but to do so, they've got to go through a bureaucrat who none of them, especially Myles, like. By the second encounter, Myles mutters under his breath that "loathing" isn't a strong enough word to describe his feelings for the man. After the bureaucrat denies them the offices, he declares war.
** Also from that episode, Howie, the titular snitch, offers to tell the FBI what he knows about the steroid thing, only he wants "the blonde" (Sue, who just came in for a moment) to be his contact. Bobby calls out the door that Howie wants to talk to Levi as Howie looks startled at the apparent miscommunication.

* MarySue: Sue. Completely flawless and loved by all.

* {{Anvilicious}}: As the show began to focus more and more on terrorism (particularly Muslim extremism), it dropped an awful lot of anvils about how racial profiling just makes sense and how liberals are putting the American people in danger by making it harder for the FBI to do their jobs. The show was one of the first dramas conceived and produced post-9/11, and the level of pro-government jingoism would probably be considered in bad taste today.
