This short moment proves you don't need to take up too much time to get your audience reaching for the tissues. Again, it comes from the Nine-Nine's resident badass, Rosa, but it's way more complicated than a simple break-up this time around.

In this episode, Rosa and the Nine-Nine host a fake funeral for her fiancé Adrian Pimento, who had to depart suddenly after receiving a death threat. Their final moment together certainly did bring up some emotions, but it's the speech Rosa gives at the funeral that has the biggest impact.

Throughout the scene, Rosa seems reluctant to open up, but Terry insists that she needs to so the funeral seems real. So, when she begins to speak, the fake nature of the event falls apart, and the reality of her situation becomes clear.

Diaz delivers a short and poignant speech, in which she talks about how special Pimento was to her and how "life is just gonna suck for a while". Her tears are real, and it's a tragic moment where you look past her tough exterior and see just how hurt she is.
