YMMV / Star Trek The Next Generation S 7 E 9 Inheritance

• Tear Jerker:
  • Juliana's reaction to the brief existence of Lal.
  • Data's conversation with a hologram of his "father", Dr. Soong. Data wants to know why Soong doesn't want him to reveal that his "mother" Juliana is really another android, whom Soong built after the real Juliana died. You can tell the sadness Soong felt when he made the recording, of how much he loved her, and how he couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
  Soong: Truth is - in every way that matters - she *is* Juliana Soong. I programmed her to terminate after a long life. Let her live out her days - and die, believing she was human. Don't rob her of that, son. Please.
  • Following the conversation with his "father", Data talks with Picard, Crusher, and Troi about it. Even if he has no emotions, he can describe the loneliness of his life well enough for his friends to sympathize with him.
  • Data and Juliana's parting words as mother and son.
