"Justin and Keisha actually break up about halfway through Forever 's finale, and while it's certainly upsetting, it's both inevitable and refreshing to watch two 18-year-olds come to the wildly mature conclusion they need to let each other go so that both of them can figure out who they are and what they want. But this is by no means the most emotional moment of the episode."
"There's no awkwardness, just two people who love and care about each other, who are grateful for what the other gave them. Their final moment together is dripping with bittersweetness. As Frank Ocean's cover of "Moon River" kicks in, there's nothing more for these two to say, so instead they take each other in one last time; there's sadness and longing in their expressions, and also an undeniable feeling of hope that they might find each other again someday."
Television in 2025 presented a series of intensely emotional scripted moments that provoked widespread crying. Major character deaths, thwarted happy endings, and devastating breakdowns unfolded across multiple shows. A standout moment featured two teenagers, Justin and Keisha, choosing to end their relationship so each can pursue separate futures; their final reunion radiated bittersweetness as Frank Ocean’s cover of 'Moon River' played while they accepted parting with sadness, longing, and hope. Other moments ranged from surreal procedural shocks to heartbreaking finales that left characters and viewers grieving, stunned, and emotionally unmoored.
