When Oz leaves Willow in "Wild at Heart".

Fred's death made me bawl uncontrollably. So did Wesley's. So did Buffy's, especially when that fantastic music starts to play. So did Doyle's. So did Cordelia's. Okay, so did everybody's. The Joss crew really knows how to kill people off.

Can't remember the episode- think it might be "The body". Buffy finally breaks down over Joyce's death and she says, "Who's going to take care of us?". I want to weep just thinking about it.
Also (maybe this is a strange one)in "When she was bad" the look on Buffy's face just before she smashes the master's bones. Like she's just woken up from a horrible dream that has turned out to be real. That moment really brought home just how alone she has to be.

In the third season of Angel (I think) Fred confronts Wesley and demands, "What happened to you?" and he tells her "I had my throat slit and all my friends abandoned me."
I think the thing that always kills me is how Joss likes to remind us that no matter how much we love people, no matter how close we are, we are essentially alone.

Let's try one from each series:

The Body - I can no longer watch that episode since losing my own mother last year. It simply is too painful.

You're Welcome - when the phone rang, I started sobbing.

Out of Gas - The whole episode is like an emotional roller coaster, with the humor from the flashbacks contrasted with the uncertainty of the crew's survival.

A scene that made me tear up that comes to mind is from an episode that a lot of people didn't really care for, Beauty And The Beasts from season three. The scene at the end when a feral Angel came to Buffy's rescue. He kills Pete and then goes for Buffy, but instead of attacking her, he drops to his knees hugging her around the waist and cries out her name. The look on Buffy's face and the tear falling down her cheek gets me every time.

Edited to add: I forgot to mention the Fred and Wes death scenes in Angel season five. I loved those characters so much, it was very emotional when they each passed.

Wow, that sounds like a really powerful scene, can you tell us more about the episode so I can remember which one it is? Thanks.

grave: yellow crayon speach! it always gets me, and not many things do really! and it's cheesy and it's not particularly clever but it's absolutely heart breaking. You do beleive that xander is there because he knows that she's lost, and because he can't let go, no matter what. and it's........ better than any other series finale, imo!

well, there it is, sometimes we cry!

Beauty And The Beasts from early in season 3. It borrows a lot from Dr. Jeckyll & Mr Hyde. People are turning up ripped to shreds and the scooby gang is afraid that it is Oz that is getting loose and doing the killing. Angel has been mysteriously returned from the dead and buffy does not know why. He is acting like a feral animal, giving no indication that he is the same Angel that she knew. She keeps his return a secret from everyone because she does not know why he is back. She chains him up at a deserted mansion because she is afraid that it might in fact be Angel that is killing those people. There is also a theme throughout about abusive relationships and what keeps people in them. The payoff that I mentioned above occurs at the end. The episode is bookended by quotes from The Call Of The Wild by Jack London. It was written by Marti Noxon. It's not a perfect episode by Buffy standards but it works for me on an emotional level.

I gotta go with The Body. Most amazing episode of tv I had ever seen. Captured the pain so beautifully.
Then there was the finale of Angel, great great episode. A lot of people argue it, but I think it was exactly what angel deserved.
And the movie... won't say nuthin about it... but it tops my list. Sure the simple fact that the movie was on screen in front of me, "Welcome to Serenity" got the water works prepped, but the movie takes no prisoners...
