Perhaps one of the most tension-filled scenes in the show is when Clay makes the decision to confront Bryce Walker in his own home. The death left many fans furious and heartbroken, what with it being all the more bitter thanks to Justin’s sympathetic story and the efforts to turn his life around, only to have his potentially promising future ripped away from him. He is then diagnosed as HIV positive, which progresses to AIDS and acts as his cause of death due to AIDS-related pneumonia and fungal meningitis.

After a long battle against drugs, abuse, and being homeless before being adopted by the Jensens and working to turn his life around, Justin’s health takes a turn for the worst and he collapses at prom only to be hospitalised. Whether you expected it or not, perhaps one of the most heartbreaking scenes came in the finale of 13 Reasons Why’s very last season. When they finally do begin to dance, the atmosphere is tense in all the right ways, the connection between these two characters as well as the chemistry is so painfully obvious that you can’t help but shout at the screen for Clay to make a move and kiss Hannah right there on the dancefloor. ‘The Night We Met’ by Lord Huron is the designated song for the slow dance that makes up what has to be one of the sweetest scenes throughout the entirety of the show! As the chaotic crowd of headbanging teens at the Winter Formal settles to couples swaying slowly to this sorrowful song, the awkward moment which Clay and Hannah share before dancing together is completely relatable to teenage life and romantic scenarios. Please be advised that spoilers will feature in this article along with mentions of potentially triggering events such as self-harm, shootings, suicide, rape, and death. We round up 10 emotional moments, both heartwarming and heartbreaking, that occurred over the four seasons.
