Lost recap: Sunk Behold the deadliest hour in Lost history. — Jeff Jensen Read the whole recap
Credit: Mario Perez/ABC

''The Candidate'' (Season 6, Episode 13)
We were still basking in the glory of Jin and Sun's reunion when we were faced with the loss of not one but both of them. Jin's choice not to leave his wife's side was pure agony. Poor Ji Yeon.

''Through the Looking Glass'' (Season 3, Episode 22)
The fact that our lovable drug addict-turned-hero was actually dying (after his fakeout death in season 1) was almost too hard to bear. His stoicism through it all spoke to the change he'd undergone on the Island, but none of us could claim such acceptance as we watched.

''The Constant'' (Season 4, Episode 5)
Penny: ''I'll find you, Des —''
Desmond: ''I promise...''
Penny: ''...no matter what...''
Desmond: ''...I'll come back to ya —''
Penny: ''I won't give up...''
Desmond: ''I promise.''
Penny: ''I promise.''
[simultaneously]
Desmond: ''I love you.''
Penny: ''I love you.''

Heartbreakingly beautiful, that scene with Desmond on the freighter and Penny in front of her Christmas tree cemented them as the show's big love.

''The Glass Ballerina'' (Season 3, Episode 2)
Jack's face when Ben showed him the Red Sox winning the World Series captured both a real-world astonishment (join the club!) and a castaway's longing for home.

''LA X'' (Season 6, Episode 1)
We wanted to believe that in the Sideways world Locke was as whole in body as he seemed to be in spirit. When he was helped into the wheelchair getting off the plane, it just broke our hearts.

''Tricia Tanaka Is Dead'' (Season 3, Episode 10)
The uplifting, unifying scene when Hurley got the Dharma van started, with Three Dog Night's ''Shambala'' playing over it, was a fitting near-end to this Hurley-centric episode.

''The Incident'' (Season 5, Episode 16)
Juliet had helped make Sawyer a better man, which won her our hearts — and helped us forget her beginning as a mole for the Others. It was hard enough that she paid the price to course-correct Jack's scheme, but Sawyer's face just took us over the edge.

''Two For the Road'' (Season 2, Episode 20)

''Through the Looking Glass'' (Season 3, Episode 22)
Charlie's last talk with Hurley, when Charlie knew he wouldn't be returning, was painful to watch. Hurley's face went from wounded to bemused as Charlie harshly attempted to dissuade him from coming along to the sub station and then turned around and hugged the big man and told him he loved him. Everyone but Hurley knew we were watching these besties give one final goodbye.

Shannon's steps back at the news of Boone's death and her subsequent breakdown mingled with the rest of the castaways' joy at Aaron's birth was one sad stew of joy and pain.

''The Last Recruit'' (Season 6, Episode 12)
The moment didn't play out as grandly as their first reunion (and it was way too short-lived), but by the time Jin and Sun had traveled between the Dharma past and the temporal anomalies to get back to each other, seeing them embrace was a victory for us.

''What Kate Does'' (Season 6, Episode 3)
There was such a huge chasm between Sawyer and Kate on the dock as he mourned Juliet. The lone wolf had reverted back as he insulated himself from the pain, and the tears streaming down Kate's face reflected those on ours.
