For me, this is the Doomsday Machine, Star Trek TOS.

Babylon 5: Severed Dreams. But you have to watch every episode before it to appreciate it fully.

Goodness there are so many good scifi shows with superb episodes but I'm a cold war kid and grew up watching star trek and this episode always stuck with me.

TNG, Yesterday's Enterprise was quite good too.

No spaceships in this one but its still sci-fi.

The Prisoner: The Schizoid Man. This has to be one of the biggest mindfucks I've ever seen, they (Number 2) try and get information out of Number 6 by convincing him hes not actually Number 6 and is instead impersonating Number 6 (himself) so that he can break the will of the fake Number 6 who is pretending to be the real Number 6 in order to break the will of the real Number 6.... yep

ST: TNG - The Inner Light; this is my default answer to this question (and the reason I learned to play the pennywhistle)

Some other contenders for personal favorites include:

Firefly - Jaynestown
Battlestar Galactica - 33; Scar (the scene where Starbuck lists all of the fallen = good stuff)

I haven't had a chance to digest The Expanse well enough to call out particular episodes, but there is definitely some potential there for enduring greatness as well.
