*** Episode 4. After [[spoiler: Mami's death]], Madoka swears that she'll never forget her (since Puella Magi don't leave a body if they die in the witch's barrier, and [[spoiler: Mami]] had nobody to remember her by). That by itself is depressing, but the exchange after that is even ''harsher'' in retrospect:
->Homura: Those words must make [[spoiler: Mami Tomoe]] very happy. ...I'm jealous.
->Madoka: I won't forget you, either, Homura! [[GroundhogDayLoop I'll never forget]] [[MyGreatestFailure how you saved]] [[MercyKill us that day!]]\\

And then, not only do she and Homura fail to stop Walpurgis Night without horribly corrupting their Soul Gems in the process, but she uses the last of her strength to [[HeroicSacrifice drain the darkness]] from Homura's Soul Gem and asks for a MercyKill before she turns into a witch. The sound Homura makes before shooting her best friend is utterly heartbreaking.]]
**[[spoiler: In the original timeline Mami shows up, complete with CrowningMusicOfAwesome, just in time to save Homura from the witch who was trying to lure her to suicide. Knowing excatly what happened to Mami back in Episode Three turns this from a triumphant entry to an absolutely gutwrenching one.]]

* ALL of Episode 10. [[spoiler: We see Homura sending herself in a GroundhogDayLoop, constantly failing to save her friends from Kyuubey. In most of these timelines, all of them die before her eyes. In one, not only does Sayaka become a witch and die, but Mami shoots Kyouko, and Madoka has to shoot HER so she doesn't kill Homura. And then, not only do she and Homura fail to stop Walpurgis Night (again, apparently), but she uses the last of her strength to [[HeroicSacrifice drain the darkness]] from Homura's Soul Gem and asks for a MercyKill before she turns into a witch. The sound Homura makes before shooting her best friend is utterly heartbreaking.]]
