Post Any episodes make you cry?

I was just wondering if anyone has cried because of a FOL episode. I know I have. I was bawling during "Concentration" - the one where Blair is stuck in the elevator with the Holocaust survivor. I have also gotten teary-eyed during "Graduation" when Jo is doing her speech and "The Christmas Show" when Blair is singing and they all gather around.

------------------
"The arm, Hacksaw!" - Jo
-------------------------
Jo: Would you do me a favor? Would you go out and come back in again?
Kelly: Why?
Jo: So I can lock the door inbetween!
-------------------------
Kelly comes into Edna's Edibles
Jo: Kid, you're in here and you're breathing. One of those things has got to change.

Oh my there are quite a few. I mean any of them when there's a touching moment with one of the girls. Oh wait that's like every episode. So not quite that often but Graduation, New Girl part 2, The way we were (part 2) When Jo's like I feel like I'm cheeting you out of a family. or something. I could go on and on forever.

I cried in New Girl part 2, Less Than Perfect, Facts of Life goes to Paris part 4, and all the rest when someone cries. when I see Jo cry, I cry. I'm not sure why, though. Does anyone else or is it just me?

I do cry whenever Nancy cries. I mean she's just a wonderful actress, she makes it look so real, and she's so emmotional. Nancy is probaly one nice woman to be a friend with. She seems very open to the world.

Okay. I am completely hard-hearted. I have ice water in my veins. No tears from me.

BUT! the one that just always gets me is RIGHTS TO PASSAGE part two. (That's the one where Jo leaves to take the job in California)

It's that long silent hug scene as Jo says goodbye to everyone, Blair hangs her head and wipes away tears, and then fabulous Nancy McKeon's voice breaks as she finally says "Bye" and closes the door.
If I was ever gonna cry -- that's the one that would do it! <grin>

Sad

Well, I course I got a little choked up in the 'Graduation' episode, who didn't?
And like Devon King said, 'Rights of Passage'... geez, I had to stop myself from crying in front of my friend who was watching it with me.
Oh! 'Teacher's Pet'!
And like Callmetootie, you can't stop yourself when Jo cries. ('Sweet Sorrow! For crying out loud!).

Oh my one more post on this one...whenever you can tell that Jo's at least choked up I'm choked up. That is the reason I cry so much with this show!!! So if a character...especially Jo cries I cry.

I cried whenever Jo would talk about her Mom, and how hard she worked and had to work double-shifts and stuff like that.
