[Warning: The following contains spoilers for Tuesday’s episode of Schitt’s Creek. Read at your own risk!]
Schitt’s Creekis one of the funniest shows on TV, full of heartwarming moments that make us feel so happy. Our fond attachment to the show also gives it the power to break our hearts as well. That’s exactly what happened on Tuesday night when Ted (Dustin Milligan) showed up on Alexis’ (Annie Murphy) doorstep for a surprise visit from the Galapagos. However, it wasn’t the lovers’ reunion we were hoping for.
Ted returned to his former hometown to tell Alexis that he had been offered a three-year extension on his contract, which put the couple in a precarious position. Alexis didn’t react immediately, but inevitably she realized that she couldn’t ask Ted to give up his dream job, and she couldn’t give up her own dreams to follow him down there. Instead, they had one last romantic dinner at the cafe and then lovingly said goodbye. While they ended things in a mature, cordial fashion, Twitter lost their s— over the end of the relationship.
If the breakup wasn’t enough to make you get misty-eyed, Milligan and Murphy’s goodbye messages to Ted will melt the coldest of hearts.
Welp! Huge thanks to the entire #Schittscreek cast, crew, and writing team for enduring 6 years of my bad and forced puns – I will miss you all dearly.
But most of all, I’ll miss my long fringeship with horny Annie.
Thanks for everything #schittheads! pic.twitter.com/1bTzgfLD5r

It was an honour and a privilege being the “xis” to your “Te”, @DustinWMilligan #schittscreek #Texis

TV Guide also collected the best tweets that reflect how absolutely gutted we were to see “Texis” not make it to the end of the show, because we didn’t want to be alone. Grab some tissues and let’s feel these feelings together.
