Tear Jerker / Nurse Jackie

Go To

  • When Dr. Cruz is desperately trying to revive his son Charlie. Charlie dies no matter how hard he tries, and despite how much of an asshole Dr. Cruz has been, you can't help but feel sorry for him as he's crying and pounding on Charlie's chest.
  • Bernard Zimberg, full stop. He's this sweet, elderly, soft-spoken man pouring with Eli Wallach's trademark charm. He has the choice to go through medical tests but he's so stubborn that he wants none of it, and has his wife bring him chicken soup for healing instead. Sadly, he dies. He knew he was dying and he didn't want his wife to know.
  • Jackie, on her diversion program, watching a patient die, knowing full well she could have done something to save her.
