Buffy killing Angel.
This for me too. I had the same reaction as Jars.
For Angel, I think it was Justine in the closet.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Angel turning evil-- not that unexpected (not that I expected it, but it was in line with the asshole who takes your virginity trope). But Buffy killing him despite him having a soul-- that fucking slayed me (pun unintended) like nothing else before or since. And kudos to DB for selling the distinction between Angelus and Angel in those moments.
Angel would probably be Dru re-vamping Darla.

move out and draw fire
It's a toss-up for me between Buffy killing Angel (totally unspoiled) and Spike and Buffy kissing.
I haven't watched enough of Angel to say for sure, but locking the lawyers is my top one from that show at the moment.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The Angel/Angelus switch, definitely. On Angel, I think Dru revamping Darla. Or Angel and Lindsey finally making out. Except that last one might have been in my head.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Or Angel and Lindsey finally making out. Except that last one might have been in my head.
Not really HSQ, but I did give a little shocked gasp when Darla said to Lindsey "It's not me you want to screw, it's him".

Strawberry disappointment.
When it became clear Faith was going for suicide by vamp.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
On Angel, it had to be I KEEL YOU WITH THIS PILLOW!!! That edges out the very close runners-up (Angel closing the doors of the people cellar; Wes opening the closet door to reveal Justine in the cage) only because it was Angel getting his vengeance on against someone very close to him. I mean, DAMN.
The other two had a bit more of a distance, because Angel had no love for the lawyers in the people cellar, and Wes had no love for Justine. (Though those were still big ol' HSQ moments.)
On Buffy, it's a tie between Buffy killing Angel and Buffy's swan dive in The Gift.

What was your favorite HSQ moment from Buffy?
So many -- angel/angelus, Giles (not ripper) smothering Ben, "I'd Like to test that theory", Buffy jumping in The Gift.
Angel -- throwing the cigarette on Darla and Drusilla, Doyle saving the day

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
You want me to pick just one?
Buffy - The entire Angelus arc. Even though I was never a big fan of Jenny Calendar, her violent end and the subsequent torture (physical and mental) of Giles was jaw-droppingly good TV.
Angel - Either the firing of the MoG, or Wesley meets pillow. Not surprisingly, La Tep and I are of one mind: it was shocking because it was family.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
Buffy - "I'd like to test that theory." I think I screamed really really loudly when that happened.
I sort of saw Buffy's swan dive coming from the moment they revealed that Dawn wasn't real. It just made good story. Buffy would have to love the key as if she was really her sister in order to save the world, which (in my head) meant dying in her stead.
Angel - Locking lawyers in the cellar.
