Line #2 TearJerker/WalkerTexasRanger


1	''As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked. You have been warned.''
2
3	* C.D. Parker's death, especially with the Bar and Grill having to close its doors for good since its owner has died.
4	** Even worse, Walker and Trivette grimly having to exhume his grave to see if he was poisoned on a rainy day, leading to a montage of all the good times they had with their old friend.
5	--->'''Walker:''' Tears from Heaven.
6	* The ending of "Lucas" two-parter, in the first part Lucas's mother dies and in the second part Lucas dies from AIDS. Two-parter is practically a TearJerker episode.
7	* An episode featuring a pair of Irish freedom fighter lovers Jane and Derek, out to stop a peace treaty by assassination the militant turned peacemaker backing it. When Walker and company finally catch up with them in a high rise building where they've barricaded themselves, Jane comforts Derek after they learn that his father Gavin (another militant leading their crime spree) has been killed and gently says, "Let's go home". He nods in agreement, and they leap to their deaths. It's a surprisingly poignant moment when you realize these were just two very angry and misguided young people who let their feelings of vengeance get out of control. A rare example of a SympatheticMurderer on this show.
8	* The episode where a child is bullied because of his poverty-stricken life and ends up standing on his school rooftop, poised to commit suicide. Walker begs him not to do it, but the poor kid takes the plunge anyway. Walker later remembers the look of sheer hopelessness the boy had on his face before ending his life. It is one of the few things that actually makes even him [[ManlyTears cry.]]
9	* The ending of "An Innocent Man." An electrician was framed for the horrific murders of several women, and the real killer visited him in prison, blackmailing him into confessing, threatening to kill his family if he didn't. The man is so terrified for his wife and children's safety he endures a guilty plea ''and'' getting the death penalty. He even refuses to confide in Walker. But at the end, when the real killer is caught, Walker and Trivette rush and stop the impending execution. The electrician has to be doubly reassured the real killer is in custody, before he breaks into into pathetically grateful sobs.
10	* Pretty much all of "Stolen Lullaby," but especially the scene where the baby is returned to her mother.
11	* Slimy rich kid Brad Alt is looking to make himself into a big time drug dealer and is able to skirt by the law thanks to the high-priced lawyers of his father Ramsay, who refuses to believe his beloved son could be mixed up in such criminal acts. Walker and Trivette show up at one of Ramsay's office buildings to bust the Brad in the middle of a drug deal. When the kid smugly says Walker doesn't have a warrant for this, his father enters to say that he gave Walker permission to enter his building, with Walker having made a deal that he'd quit the Rangers if he couldn't prove Brad was involved in drugs. "Looks like he's still got a job." When Brad starts pleading for help, his father cuts him off by saying that even if his lawyers could get him out of this, he wouldn't let them (as another part of the aformentioned deal). He apologizes for not believing Walker, clearly massively disappointed his son could be a criminal. He then walks off, with Brad, a formerly cocky dealer now a pathetic kid crying and ranting for his father's help as he's handcuffed.
12	* The final act of "Saving Grace" has Matthew Walsh, a prison escapee whom Walker arrested for a bank robbery, learning that one of the nuns, namely the titular Grace Canfield, now Sister Mary Grace Canfield, was his long-lost sister over the years they grew up. Walsh is barely talked out of killing her and Mother Superior afterwards, upon which one of his accomplices decides to do it himself, only for Walsh to jump in front of her and take a bullet to the chest. After Walker takes down Reese, Walsh laments at turning to a life of crime, and asks God for forgiveness as he moves on to the next life.
13	* The fact "Trial By Fire", the TV movie and the final installment of the series, never got a sequel. It ended on a cliffhanger where Wayne accidentally shoots Alex in the chest after Walker unsuspectingly leaves the courthouse and he is subsequently gunned down attempting to call out and murder an official, but it received lukewarm reception, and after cranking out a few TV movie stink bombs later, CBS gave up on making any more TV movies. Now all of the stars have moved on to new things, and the closest thing to the cast reuniting is Sheree J. Wilson and Clarence Gilyard Jr. participating in performances of ''Theatre/DrivingMissDaisy'' together- which favors a ''[[TheGreatDepression very]]'' old audience and is no place for fans of the ''WTR'' generation. The chances of a sequel are now so bad, especially with Gilyard's death in 2022, that the conclusion went online with the title "WORST ENDING EVER" on Website/YouTube and people have taken to [[FanonDiscontinuity rejecting the movie or merely its surprising twist ending.]]
