Warning: We're about to run down the biggest TV moments from Thursday night. If you don't want to be spoiled on a particular show, skip to the next!

Parenthood: OK, someone please go buy as another box of tissues 'cause this darn show is causing us to go through boxes like it ain't no thang.

The source of tonight's waterworks? Oh, just Joel saying, "I'm moving out, Julia." Yes, it seems like one of our favorite couples on the show is heading for divorce, so basically, we need to head back to therapy soon.

And Amber? A drunken mess after Ryan left, which led her to visit her father Seth (returning guest star John Corbett) to tell him she's afraid she's going to be just like him. Did you hear that? That was the sound of our heart breaking into a million pieces. 

Community: Troy and Abed in mourning! Yes, the Greendale gang said goodbye to one of their own in their usual quirky way after last week's surprise death of Pierce. But their mourning was soon interrupted by Justified's Walton Goggins, who administered polygraphs to find out if they were at all involved in his passing. Dun-dun-dunnnn. ('Twas later revealed that he died from dehydration while filling up cannisters of sperm, but more on that in a bit.)

Lots of truths came out of the bottle ep: Britta was high at Shirley's son's baptism, Annie was taking money from Troy and Abed, Shirley was giving Britta meat and telling her it was tofu, Jeff kept a pair of Britta's undies, the list goes on and on. But the biggest? Troy stole his secret handshake with Abed from a random blog!

But in the end, Pierce actually brought the group together and left them all some of his valuables in his will: his iPod (and sperm, ew!) for Britta, his time-share in Florida (and sperm!) to Shirley, a tiara (also sperm) for Annie, scotch (and fine sperm) for Jeff, just sperm for Abed, and obligatory sperm for Troy. And his Hawthorne Wipes' shares valued at 14.3 million. But only if he sails his boat around the world. Setting up Donald Glover's exit from the series. His BFF's reponse? "Cool, cool, cool, cool," he lied.

 

Parks and Recreation: Holy hilarious proposal, Batman! In tonight's episode of the NBC charmer, Chris proposed to Ann. And, of course, she said yes. And while we absolutely adored the moment, the couple wasn't the best part of the scene; no, it was Larry choking on a cracker in the background. LOLs for days. 

Line of the Night: "That was a fantastic season finale on a show that is literally a never-ending rollercoaster of emotion." Parks and Recreation's Chris talking about Grey's Anatomy. We've all literally been there, Traeger!
