Has to be the very end. When Kate looks at the picture then sets it back down to look right at her and that sad music starts playing and for about a minute it is just a picture of him and kate whlist the credits role.
What was the saddest image for you?
This_ship_will_sink
when Cate is sat in the bedroom looking at a wedding picture of her and Paul and then her mum comes in
shareWhen Cate finds Paul's socks under the pillow...
shareI thought finding his socks under the pillow was the saddest moment also... :-(
shareProbably either the sock, the part when Cate's mom walks in, or when Rory goes to pour some cereal and then goes for milk (which Paul went out for when he died) then throws the bowl in the sink in anger.
sharei think the saddest image to me was when bridget's enemy told her how deep down she really did like her and they hug and she says how she was jealous of bridget and her dad's relationship, and bridget got all teary eyed and said "if we were so close then why was the last thing i said to him was i hate you" and then she runs off i think because i have said i hate you to my dad many times and in that moment i thought of how it would of been for me almost like seeing me saying that. I think that was a emotional moment for me but there were so many more too but that was the 1st scene that popped in my head.
My dad and I have the same relationship as carrie and bridget do with their dad you love eachother but get on eachother's nerves but you know theres love there. I just thought how i dont know what i would do if my dad passed away and thinking about it makes me emotional im such a girl. LoL
I think what also made it seem even more sad to me is cause John Ritter's character reminded me of my dad, you know making the corny jokes trying to be all cool with my friends. Doing all these dumb silly things and would act like a dork or an idiot just to make my mom me and my brother laugh. But would also say comebacks and wasnt afraid to call me out on things. He's also always trying to teach me life lessons and a simple question i have will make him give me an hour lecture, and when i was younger i would tune him out but i have listened more as i have grown up because i know he wont always be there when i have a question. So i guess that hit home for me that moment with bridget and her friend, and just because that family seemed like mine to me and the dad seemed like my dad.
ok im done writing the novel lol
I think it was all sad cause all I could think of was John. How much of a gift he was and how much he meant to generations of people. To me he really was a part of the family. My father and brother have his first name and my father is a little older than John would be. He was like my father and he always reminded me of my father. So he really did feel like a part of my family.
Okay. If I had to choose sad moments they would be:
*rory making cereal
*the three kids with Kate in bed at the end. That breaks my heart.
You know the wonderful thing about this episode. You could see they weren't acting. That this was real and they were dealing with it on camera.
DANCE TEACHER: I think we should go to the bar.
LUCY:Oh good cause I'm awful thirsty.
That is the reason it is so sad. This is a real life tragedy being played out on screen. I am sure the actors have real tears. It is very unusual to see such a real life thing being played on TV. That is why it is so sad to watch. The actors did not act in this episode, all they had to do was to use their own real emotions.
sharethe saddest for me was when Bridget kept saying "the last thing I said to him was I hate you" i could not live through life by having said that and then have them dye :'(

I have never seen this episode. I know how he died in real life, but how do they how he died on the show?
When you change someone else's life, you change your own.
when bridget is acting as anne frank and she leaves a rose by her fathers picture. we get to see a side of bridget paul never saw but always wanted to see x
sharei think that was the must toughtest thing i had to watch i felt like crying when i saw it for the first time my sad part is when there grandparents come n kate crys n the girls come down crying n they have that sad music playing before they go to commerical was very sad
shareto answer PinkMalibuBarbie_3 question on how they had him die in the show, it was almost the same as how he died in real life. they had him collapse in the super market when he was getting the milk.
sharethe saddest for me was when Bridget kept saying "the last thing I said to him was I hate you" i could not live through life by having said that and then have them dye :'("I hate you" is the phrase I use most around my parents. After watching the episode I tried to cut back. After a week, I told my parents. They laughed at me. After another week, I slipped up and started saying it again.
I can't remember ever saying to parents that I hate them.
I'm anespeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations...
[deleted]
Absolutely agree with u. I can't believe these posts that I'm reading. How do you hate your parents? How do you say it to their faces and continue living? My mother would've kicked my @$#&!
God is real. Atheists don't exist
To me the saddest part was that the first time they aired it - there was no audience. It was just so quiet - also when cate first found out and she ran out of the house so fast. I bawl like a baby EVERYTIME this comes on. Never fails always cry. I loved John Ritter - I loved him in this and loved him mostly on Threes Company.
sharei think the saddest part is when cates mom and dad comes home to the hennessy house and cates start crying even more when her dad hugs her because what makes it worse it the fact that they all where cryng for real they weren't acting they were really crying!
KATEY SAGAL FOREVER!
I would say simply the absence of Paul (Ritter).
shareGot to be when Kate cries into the arms of her dad. Genuine emotion there, you can tell!
shareI finally saw this and I cried my eyes out. It was just so sad. I thought Rory took it the hardest. What season was it on?
When you change someone else's life, you change your own.
Season 2
the part where rory throws the cereal into the sink.
when cate finds paul's socks
when cate sees shoes at the staircase and she asks who owns it and rory says it was paul's own.
the end credits with paul and cate's picture
the part where cate reads the article.
Definitely the last 5 minutes of the show with all three kids in the bed with 'kate'...and by the way is there a name for that song that started playin at that time? that song set me off bawling lol
shareI have also been trying to find this song for a while- anyone else know the name of the song that plays at the end of both of these episodes?
shareMy mum died just under a month ago and finaly seeing this ep brought back all of it.
Finaly I cried after holding it all back to help everyone else out.
I'm still sobbing, I was lucky the last thing I said to her was I love you, see you later, I never said I hate you to eather of my parents I did think it a few times ...... I makes you realise how fragile life is.
Everytime my dad leaves the house I tell him I love you and to drive carefully.
Thing about this ep that was sad was knowing that it wasn't acting, they all felt it, I'm glad that he wasn't replaced and forgotten as most shows would have, his death was treated respectfully and the real grief was shown.
I'm quite thankful that I saw it, finaly letting the tears flow is a good thing.
Live, Love and Continuously Learn.
^ I am so sorry for your loss and I think that it is good that the show allowed you to release your emotions.
I think that all of the episode was sad though when Cate finds Pauls socks under the pillow and Bridget comes in after, really was the saddest part for me.
ITS HARD TO TAKE POSITIVE STEPS WHEN YOU'VE BURNED THE BRIDGE THAT YOU GOT TO WALK ACROSS//
WHen Bridget said 2 Jenna Sharpe "Really then how come the last words i said 2 him was i hate u'
and
Kate's mom: Honey Life isnt fair
Kate: Mom i no lifes not fair but they never told me it was goin 2 be this cruel
<3 HiGh ScHoOl MuSiCaL rOcK mY wOrLd <3
<3 ZaC eFrOn MiNe!!!!!!! AnD lUcAs GrAbEeL toOoO!!!!!!<3
I think the saddest part for me was when they were reading the article.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!
I know, I watched it again last night and even though i have seen it a couple of time i still cry all the way through part one and two.
when they are taking about him going to the store, they first say he is out getting milk, then when the girls are talking to their mom carrie says if dad had looked in the drawer for the batteries.
i miss John Ritter so much. He was such a nice person. I hope Amy and Stella and his other kids find peace someday.
There are so many sad parts in this episode, but for me I think the saddest were when Cate's parents get there, and her mother asks her if there's anything they could get her, and she says yeah, yesterday would be nice.
and then, not really a sad part, but a part that I sympathized with was when Kerry went to tell Bridget that their grandparents were there and she asked if Paul was with them and of course Kerry said no and then Bridget said then I really don't give a damn.
that's all I can think of now, that wasn't already mentioned.

true originality always wins in the end.
you cut me open i'm made of black jacks.
The entire show is filled with genuine sadness, but one particular scene hits me like a kick to the gut...it comes a few moments after Rory tosses the dry cereal away in frustration:
Cate: Rory, what did I tell you about leaving your shoes on the stairs?
Rory: They're Dad's shoes.
OUCH.
For me, it was when Cate is telling her mother off for saying that Paul's death was part of "gods plan"
Cate: What about God's plan for me? What about his plan for my kids?
I got sad in an episode when the girls are upset and Cate says 'he's gone and he is not coming back'.
shareCate could've simply said "god doesn't exist".
shareWhen Cate and her mother were in the bedroom, and Cate being told it was all part of God's plan:
Cate (holding her wedding picture): "God's plan? What about my plan? This picture was a promise, and now that promise is broken. What's God's plan for my kids? For me?? It's all so unfair."
Cate's mom: "Honey, nobody ever said that life was fair."
Cate: "I know that. I know that life isn't fair, but nobody ever told me it was gonna be this cruel!"
I would just say the entire episode! I cried so much throughout that whole episode! I just thought the episode was so beautifully done and moving! It was a real memorial to the actor and the character which showed! I also used to well up throughout the second (and I think the third?) when they'd mention him again or just reference to him, I thought it was so respectful and true to life because even when people die, they never truly leave us!
The main ones in this episode were:
Kate receiving the phone call and rushing out the house,
The Grandparents arrival with them all having a big hug,
When Kate cried in her room and her mum tried to comfort her talking about 'God's plan' and Kate gets angry,
When Rory makes the cereal,
The whole Bridget part of the story and how the last thing she said to her dad was 'I hate you' (one of many reasons I have never said this phrase to my parents, I may get annoyed with them but I would never use that word),
When they find his last article and read it I always ball my eyes out!
The moments from other episodes where they mentioned him that I thought were really lovely and moving:
In the episode where they all go back to school and Bridget is trying to be really happy and strong and Kerry is trying to fight being happy because she feels guilty to be happy when something bad has happened, that whole episode gets to me! Especially when Bridget goes to leave the house in her dress and then just stops and breaks down because her dad wouldn't have let her get that far and it hits her again that he's no longer there.
Also when Bridget played Anne Frank and places the rose by the picture of Paul. That was a lovely moment.
I'm pretty sure there were other moments where they mentioned him again or remembered him but those are the ones I remember most! I haven't even watched this show for a few years now at least and I can remember these episodes vividly and from start to finish! That is great writing!
'You people. If there isn't a movie about it, it's not worth knowing, is it?'
