6 'Modern Love' Moments That Will Make You Cry For Hours

The first episode is about an unlikely friendship between an editor named Maggie and her Albanian doorman, Guzmin. Guzmin is always there for Maggie: He's the shoulder she cries on when she finds out she's pregnant after a one-night stand, he hels per put the nursery together, he babysits, and selflessly tells her to take a promotion that would relocate them to California. While there are numerous heartwarming moments between the two, the top spot goes to the final scene. Years after Maggie moves, during a visit to New York with her daughter Sarah, the trio went to the Museum of Natural History. As they strolled past dinosaur bones, the camera cut to the lobby of the building, showing Sarah's sonogram from many years ago still taped to Guzmin's desk.

In this episode, Joshua, the CEO of a dating app, told his love story to Julie, a journalist writing a profile about him: Boy meets girl. Boy blows off a serious job interview to take girl on a date. Boy and girl move in together. Boy moves out when girl confesses to cheating on him.

Joshua admitted he never really got over his ex, Emma, despite subsequent relationships and professional successes. "I realized I hadn't fully been alive for the past two years," he said, adding that he "came alive" for a few seconds when he bumped into Emma on the street. When Emma read the article, she broke up with her fiancé, and met up with Joshua at the same zoo cage where they had their first kiss, signaling a renewed relationship years after their first one ended.

Anne Hathaway's Lexi is a successful entertainment lawyer who has Bipolar Disorder. Audiences witnessed Lexi grapple with her mental health, as it essentially forced her to pause her entire life. Lexi had hidden that part of herself from others, and overcompensated for her absences whenever she was feeling stronger. Eventually, though, she was fired from her job. After finally revealing her condition to Sylvia, her former boss, Lexi was shocked when Sylvia canceled her meeting to be there for her. The moving moment helped Lexi stop hiding who she is.

This episode focused on parental love, or lack thereof. Madeline's father died when she was 11 and while she pretended to be used to it, it was clear throughout the episode how much she actually needed him. This void in her life became all the more apparent when she started pining over Peter, a much older colleague. Suffice it to say, the two had different ideas of where their relationship was going. When Peter kissed her, Maddy became dumbfounded and angry, saying she viewed him more as a father figure. The confession took a toll on Peter, who left on sabbatical — but not before meeting with Maddy to give her an important message: "You will grow up to be an extraordinary young woman. You're the daughter of any father's dream. I am very, very, very proud of you, Madeline."

Andrew Scott, also known as the hot priest from Fleabag, made hearts melt yet again in this Modern Love episode.

It doesn't sound so sweet so far, but the "aww" moment finally arrived in the delivery room. After the baby was born, Tobin told Karla that if she wanted to keep the baby, he'd understand. "I want it now. I love her now," he explained. "So I can imagine what you're feeling." His face, with his teary eyes and smile, couldn't not pull on heartstrings.
