Spin-off media: The Casagrandes
Ronnie Anne: I can't believe this is the last time we'll ever see Lalo.
CJ: I'm gonna miss him so much.
Carlota: (starts sobbing) This is the saddest day ever! Ay, I've turned into Mom! (keeps sobbing uncontrollably)
Carl: (Trying Not to Cry) Stay strong, Carl. Don't cry.
Hector: I'm sorry, kids. There's nothing else we can do.
Like its parent show, The Casagrandes definitely has its sad moments.
- "The Two of Clubs": Ronnie Anne and Sid coming to terms with the fact that they don't share a lot of common interests and may have to go to separate after-school activities, especially when Ronnie Anne thinks that Sid is crying (it's just squid ink, but Sid's still sad).
- "Croaked": The episode has Adelaide coping with the death of her pet frog. In an attempt to help her, Ronnie Anne and Sid bring a frog over to Adelaide's ofrenda so she can play with it. But they didn't realize that, since Adelaide is only six, she'll think that setting up photos of people you love and admire will bring them back too, forcing them, with a little help from Tio Carlos, to show up to Adelaide in costume. When their ruse is revealed, Adelaide bursts into tears and locks herself in her room. Ronnie Anne and Sid feel so guilty over hurting Adelaide's feelings they turn to Abuela Rosa for help.
- The episode "Stress Test" has Bobby repeatedly failing his BAT test, no matter how hard Carlos, Rosa, and Carlota try to help him. What doesn't help is that, as he himself admits, he has test anxiety to the point where he forgets his own name at one point. After failing his BAT test for the fourth time, Bobby collapses to the floor, weeping hysterically in a wet, teary state. And copiously. And then, he tells his family that he'll have to give up. Not helping is Carl trying to beat him up with a newspaper right after that. Thankfully, Ronnie Anne discovers that Bobby can best concentrate in the mercado and so builds a replica thereof so he can ace his BAT test.
- "Operation Dad": The scene where Ronnie Anne, after going through great lengths to get her father Arturo to stay with her and Bobby, realizes that his patients need him more than she does. So, she decides to let him go back to Peru. As Arturo says good-bye to the Casagrande family, Bobby is reduced to Inelegant Blubbering, as are Carlos, Frida, and Carlitos. Then comes the ending where Arturo chooses to stay in the city a little longer.
- Towards the end of "Cursed," Rosa becomes convinced that she and her whole family is cursed to bring bad luck everywhere they go (even at the Loud house, no less!), so, she decides to take her family to live in the woods with her. What doesn't help is that Ronnie Anne, CJ, and Carl vainly try to escape from Rosa as she does so. Luckily, Ronnie Anne discovers Ernesto Estrella at Flip's Food 'n' Fuel and convinces him to undo the "curse" to make Rosa feel better.
- "What's Love Gato Do With It?": The moment where Bobby, believing he will be a "cat" forever, runs away from his family for fear they'd stop loving him. Lampshaded by Tia Frida, who is reduced to Ocular Gushers as usual.
- "The Kid Plays in the Picture" involves Carl gaining a career as a toy reviewer. In his case, however, it's not as good as it sounds. Soon, it prevents him from enjoying the finer things in life like eating breakfast pizza or swimming in chocolate milk. When he tries to quit his job, his Bad Boss threatens to sue his family, resulting in him getting an Imagine Spot where his family mercado is torn from the apartment and the entire family cries Ocular Gushers over their misfortune, even the pets.
- The episode "Teacher's Fret" has Ronnie Anne discover that her father is dating her teacher. Deeply embarrassed, she and Sid decide to break them up. But when Arturo and Ms. Galiano do break up, Ronnie Anne and Sid find them both sobbing uncontrollably. And copiously. Believing that they are upset about their breakup, Ronnie Anne and Sid decide to confess out of guilt. Somewhat mitigated when Arturo and Ms. Galiano reveal that their breakup was mutual and had nothing to do with the tricks, just the decision that they were Better as Friends, and they were crying over different things entirely (Arturo because his soccer team lost the match, and Ms. Galiano because her makeup is really stinging her eyes). On a lighter note, we now know where Bobby got his propensity for Inelegant Blubbering from.
- "Do the Fruit Shake": When Carl and CJ learn that Maybelle was a member of a 1970's disco singing group called the Tropical Fruits, they learn why the said singing group broke up. During one of their stints, young Maybelle lost her mango and accused Piña and Papaya of eating it as a prank. Turns out, Maybelle needed to eat that mango before the show to calm her nerves, and when she flubbed the show, she ran out in tears. To this day, Maybelle is still bitter about it. It's even an In-Universe Tear Jerker, as Bobby tears up upon hearing about this.
- In "A Very Casagrandes Christmas", when Arturo gets stuck in the supermarket, Bobby and Ronnie Anne are sad that he can't spend Christmas with the family. Then, when the three of them get stuck there together, Ronnie Anne expresses sadness that they can't spend Christmas with the whole family for the first time in years.
- In "Perro Malo", Lalo accidentally switches places with Becky's lookalike dog Malo, who is so ill-behaved and aggressive that the Casagrandes, who assume he's Lalo gone rogue, don't know what's going on. Eventually, when Malo trashes the mercado, Hector has no choice but to send "Lalo" to the pound. Ronnie Anne, Bobby, Carlota, CJ, and Carl are so upset that they all burst into tears with Hector.
