Tear Jerker / Helix

Go To

  • Anything involving Hitake and his children really.
    • Hitake silently crying while bandaging Julia's eyes in Episode 7. Only really becomes a tearjerker once you know he's her father. Its unclear if he's crying with joy over the fact she's alive, or in remorse over what he's made her and how much pain she's in.
    • Daniel/Miksa's death in 'The Reaping'. He finally forgives Hitake, tells him he loves him, and then sacrifices himself to save Julia. Hitake's screaming and later sobbing as he stares at his son's body through the glass really make the scene.
      • And in the next episode, we first see him sat quietly sobbing next to Daniel's body bag.
