Episodes where the show finally tells the viewer what’s gong on or gives you a big lore dump that is satisfying.

Mr. Robot Season 1 Episode 8 “eps1.7_wh1ter0se.m4v” the ending, with Elliot going through his pictures is one of the best moments in a fantastic show. It hits with you hard, what makes it even better is that they build on this reveal further as the show goes on.

Lost: Walkabout: Only 4 episodes in and the mysterious Locke finally gets his backstory revealed. Seeing the episode ending and the perfect acting by Terry O’Quinn still gets me emotional today.

Game of Thrones: The Winds of Winter. Even though some people say season 6 is the last good one, A big reason to this is that Winds of Winter has Jon Snow’s story told. Though yes, it doesn’t go anywhere. This episode is still fantastic.
