Haley Hotchner - Criminal Minds - Episode "100"
Easily one of the best episodes of this long running series, and dare I say one of the most poignant and riveting ends to a multiple show story arc. Foyet/"The Reaper" has been causing havoc in the like of FBI Agent Aaron Hotchner all season. He systematically works his way to Agent Hotchner's wife Haley and dupes her into believe he's an FBI Agent. It culminates in this finale, where Agent Hotchner says final good byes to his wife over a cell phone, with the Reaper in the background waiting to strike like a snake in front of his toddler son. Hotchner's team mates are listening in on the call, helpless.
The last 30 minutes of this episode are so intense that it will bring tears to even the most manly types around. The fight scene that ensues after is great too, not a lot of background music, just the sounds of the fight and you willing Hotchner on...
Easily one of the most intense 30 minutes on network I've ever seen.
