Tear Jerker / Nowhere Boys

Go To

  • When Saskia is turned back into a golem and gives Jake the talisman.
  • The scene where we see how Oscar got paralysed. Felix and he are climbing a tree, Oscar following after Felix, but being scared and not wanting to climb all the way to the top. Felix teases him and encourages him to keep going. Then Oscar slips, Felix grabs his hand but can't hold on, and Oscar falls. Cut to their mother sobbing "My poor baby boy," while Felix eavesdrops from the hallway.
  • Sam's reunion with his mother in the alternate universe, particularly when he tries to help her up but doesn't want to touch her for fear of burning her again. Or when he goes inside to call the police, but she's fine when he leaves and her 'real' family (including Sammy) arrive.
  • At one point in Series 2, Oscar calls the police with a fake tip about seeing the missing Andy a few towns over to lead the police away from Felix and buy him more time, believing the lie will be quickly forgotten once Felix's plan works and Andy's home. However the plan fails, Andy is still missing, and since the call came from his house, Felix gets accused of making it. He at first claims not to have known anything about it, but then seeing Oscar looking guilty in the hall, he takes blame. The scene culminates in Felix being dragged out by his mother and forced to confess to the Lau family. The grieving family doesn't take it well: Viv brutally berates him for wasting valuable police time during the critical first 48 hours of the search. Nai Nai accuses him of being a sociopath and risking Andy's life for attention. Andy's mother just sadly says that Felix was cruel to give her false hope, because she'd really believed Andy was coming home - her voice breaks and the family rushes to comfort her, glaring at Felix, who has to take it all silently. The entire time, his facial expression is just heartbreaking.
