"That One Episode"

So a common term I've been hearing a lot lately is "That One Episode", pretty much the episode at which a TV show is generally meant to blow the viewer's mind. Maybe it's from shock at a change in tone or direction, maybe it's just an amazing twist, or maybe it's an episode that shakes up the status quo so much you have no idea how the show could continue on. It's the type of episode that, when you show it to your friend, you make damn sure that you take in their reaction. So, I decided that I wanted to list out the "That One Episodes" of the shows I've seen so far, and I'll keep updating the list as I continue to watch more and more shows. Also, to avoid spoilers, I won't record what actually happens during these episodes, just the ones you need to look out for:
