I've never lost it harder at anything then I did during the last 20 minutes of Chosen, starting with the girl power montage. But The Body, The Gift, Becoming, Amends, and IWRY all come close. Oh, and the end of Home. Thank god those two weren't on the same night. Anyone remember having a hard time dealing with "There's No Place Like Pltz Grlb" because you were still broken up over The Gift?
Simon: You're out of your mind. Early: That's between me and my mind.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And just as I got calmed down, along came Willow and made me cry again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
the one thing that always makes me cry is Oz leaving. "In my whole life, I've never loved anything else." I lose it every. single. time.
That scene made me cry while I was listening to the commentary track. That's how good it is.
TinyBaseball!Slayer was my least favorite part of the grrrl power montage. If my eyes had rolled any more, they'd have fallen out. t /soulless, obviously

I wave my baseball bat (the one I keep under my bed, in case anyone breaks in and decides they don't want an intact ribcage) threateningly in your direction....
Baseball!Slayer pinged me just because I've played it my whole life.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I must be a heartless monster compared to most of the posters here, because a lot of the above moments didn't touch me deeply at all. IWRY and "The Prom" just strike me as schmaltzy (OK, well-written schmaltz, I guess) and I was so ready for the B/A ship to sink that they couldn't have wrung a tear out of me if one or the other died of consumption in the episode.
There are only a handful of moments that have made me get misty: Buffy's "I'm sixteen and I don't want to die" and Willow's "they made it their world" lines in "Prophecy Girl," Willow crying over Jenny Calendar's death in "Passion," Buffy and Dawn's scene at the end of "Forever." I think I saved all my Buffy-related crying up for the initial airing of "The Body" and spent it in one fell swoop.

I think the saddest moment ever for me was when Buffy went to collect Dawn from school in The Body and told her Joyce had died. We see her collapse through the glass. So. Effin. Sad.

Tangentially, I'll note that I just bought Emmett his first baseball bat today.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

See, this has me just as misty as baseball!Slayer. Maybe it's something about the baseball....

I'm always surprised by how much IWRY affects me, for that very reason. I know it's manipulative and schmaltzy, and I really don't want any more B/A, evereverever, but "There's not enough time!" makes me bawl. I can't help it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I don't think I cried (I cried at other points), but when Anya got cut down in CHOSEN - so suddenly and brutally - something broke. I didn't have time to lose it at that point, but later when Andrew and Xander talked about her - oh yes.
Not Buffy, but also get sniffly when Simon talks about River in Serenity.
