History TearJerker / ThirteenReasonsWhy

** The lead-up to her parents finding her is... heartbreaking. You hear Mrs. Baker, asking Hannah about the water leaking from under the door and jokingly commenting about it, but when she opens the door, her face just... drops. There's no scream or terror at first -- just her quietly processing what happened with [[RapidFireNo a flurry of]] [[LittleNo small "no"s]] as she carefully approaches the tub and tries to pull Hannah out, all while telling her she's going to be okay before crying out for her husband, all while still telling Hannah's lifeless body that she's okay]][[note]]She is basically in denial, and is trying to convince herself that Hannah is still alive[[/note]]. Mr. Baker's reaction is ''worse'', as he just tries to grab his daughter before his wife tells him to go call an ambulance. Just...[[AdultFear every parent's fear of finding their children dead]].

** Even ''worse'' is the flashback: After Hannah drops her note to Zach, deducing that [[NotSoDifferent he's lonely like she (and by some extent, majority of the school) is]], she watches Zach go through the small rack-bag and pull out the note and begins to read it out of the class. When she slowly follows him, she 'sees' him ''ripping the note'']]. Hannah's reaction well...it's [[BrokenBird like everything else that she's endured.

*** Sheri, discussing her assault while at the juvenile detention facility, by a guard who allegedly "had a reputation.

*** Made even worse at the fact that all of the confessions (minus Jessica) are more than likely [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]].

** Crosses over with NightmareFuel, but the entire scene with Montgomery and his friends assualting Tyler in the bathroom, culminating in raping him with a mop handle. The complete lack of shame of the attackers and the extent of the physical and mental trauma just make it worse.

** Tyler even told his rape by Monty to Bryce who is shocked speechless and genuinely apologizes to him for the pain Monty caused him.

** Even if he was still scummy especially to Zach his quote "I want to change but the world won't let me" ''can'' be heartwrenching.
** Hell some of his last words. While he ''really'' shouldn't have been spiteful to Zach (which caused his death afterwards) he also lashes out at Jessica who was one of the people he genuinely wanted to make amends with. The pain in his voice is visible.
* Bryce's mother grieving. She never excuses Bryce's actions but Bryce is still her son. His funeral being crashed didn't help.

* As terrible as he is, Monty getting a final rebuke (as in getting spat in his face) from his homophobic abusive father before being killed in his jail cell, is pretty disquieting. Considering his scenes with him being intimate with Winston are the only times on the show where he looked genuinely happy, one could wonder just how he would’ve turned out had he not been abused and shamed for who he was.

** Something worthy to note, though, is that when Hannah was leaving the building, light could be seen from outside, implying that she was in Heaven. But when Monty is leaving the building, it is dark outside, implying that he is going to Hell to be punished for his actions. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but it is still pretty creepy to think about it.

* Justin Prentice (Bryce) got a lot of hate from fans, with many going as far as accusing him of being an actual rapist like his character with even Prentice himself saying that Bryce was beyond redemption. When an interviewer had him read the response of a fan who essentially said "I know you're a good person even though you play a monster", he actually started crying.

** Though in his Estella's case, there is a tragedy as she admits to Tyler, while she will never be able to forgive Monty for what he did to him, she still loved her brother, and misses him.

* Clay's gradual mental erosion, to the point that after having a mental breakdown after the ill timed code red shooter drill at skill, he is restrained and boud to a bed in a psychiatric facility. Watching Clay, after an orderly forgot to release him from his restraints, admit that he defecated in his hospital bed while sobbing is one of the lowest points in the series.

* The subplot about Tony's family. Due to Tony testifying making it harder for Bryce, Bryce's father rats on the Padillas and ICE takes everyone but Tony and his little sister Graciela from the family to a detention center. They are deported and Tony has to send Graciela to an aunt and uncle so she would be safe. Accentuated by Tony and Graciela standing in front of the mirror next to each other, saying the names of their parents and their brothers as they appear behind them in the mirror.

* The song "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron is a tearfully bitter ode to a long lost lover and his unrequited feelings to her, just like Clay's realization he loved her.... but will never get the chance to tell Hannah that he was in love with her.

* With the knowledge that Bryce was ''trying'' to make amends to the people he hurt in the past and that he was getting help from Mr. Porter, his death ''can'' be considered this. Emphasis on ''can''.
* Bryce's mother grieving. She never excuses Bryce's actions but Bryce is still her son.

* As terrible as he is, Monty getting a final rebuke (as in getting spat in his face) from his homophobic abusive father before being killed in his jail cell, is pretty disquieting. Considering his scenes with him being intimate with Winston are the only times on the show where he looked genuinely happy, one could wonder just how he would’ve turned out had he not been abused and shamed for who he was.

When an interviewer had him read the response of a fan who essentially said "I know you're a good person even though you play a monster", he actually started crying.

** Also, Tyler showing Jessica the video he created before him attempting to shoot up the school dance. His facial expression is completely different to his season 3 version showing how broken and angry he is. He only says goodbye to three people in the video (his parents and Alex) further showing how alone he feels he is. To top it off Jessica crys during the video knowing the pain he was going through and likely knowing she had some role in rejecting him during the first two seasons.
