Whenever I remember how Euphie died, I want to sigh and hit something and scream, "WHY? WHY? WHY?" She was the first female CG character I ever really liked. She and Suzaku were the best het couple (in my opinion) in the series, and they would have changed the world together, from the inside. When Euphie finally decided to step up, I thought CG would end with a very happy ending. Even Lelouch finally acceded with her, even if her beliefs go against his goals as Zero.
Then she was ACCIDENTALLY Geass'd (I can't put all the blame on Lulu though; he didn't know either) and made to do one of the things she abhorred. Euphie resisted at first, but the Geass won over her and stained her image. She could have been remembered as the most benevolent among the Britannian royals, but instead she was called the Massacre Princess. Sure, it was hilarious watching the Euphinator (Please die ^_^), but it was also heartbreaking, because knowing the Geass, she couldn't stop unless she is incapacitated. Lelouch HAD to kill her; either that, or risk total genocide. He loved her, even admitting that she was his first love, but sadly, he had to pull the trigger. It's even more tragic when someone who loves you kills you.
Her last scene with Suzaku was the final nail in the coffin. He risked getting killed (then again, he does have the "live on" Geass order anyhow) to save her (from herself, perhaps?), and had to lie to her. I can't blame Suzaku either, for not having the heart to tell her what she had done. She had no memory of that incident, that she caused the chaos, and died thinking that the Japanese were happy with her, but in reality it's the complete opposite - she would be forever remembered as the Massacre Princess.
Poor Euphemia. I still miss her. I could not find the tears to cry for her because I was in shock. Sure, I was spoiled beforehand that she would die, but I thought she would die a heroic death, probably saving Suzaku's life or something. But no, she had to die by Geass, forced to do something terrible before finally being killed by a person who loved her, and having no memory of anything, anything at all.
Lelouch is a very close second. Even if he and Suzaku had planned it, I froze in my seat and hung on to their last conversation, how Suzaku would be remembered as a hero, how Lelouch wanted this to happen, so that the world would unite against him and behind Zero(zaku). Watching Nunnally cry over him was just...just... T_T But it's only second to Euphie's death because it was planned, he knew what was going on, and he anticipated what would happen next.
I never liked Rolo much until his final moments. Same with Shirley. I also wanted to scream, "QUIT USING YOUR GEASS!" when Rolo's heart began to fail from using his Geass, but of course, he still continued, all in the name of saving his "brother". I also expected Shirley to die when Jeremiah unknowingly de-Geass'd her, since knowing that much instantly makes you a walking target. But when she told Lulu that she loved him, and Lelouch kept using his Geass to keep her alive, and then he screamed...and her death was covered up as a suicide...
Poor Clovis. Only a few episodes of screen time and then he kicks the bucket. I still feel sorry for him. At least he's somewhere on Clovis Island, enjoying himself.
He risked getting killed (then again, he does have the "live on" Geass order anyhow) Oh, no. Do you know what this line make me think? If Euphy on her deathbed still had some strength left and not enough willpower to resist the geass to kill Suzaku, which activated Suzaku's live geass and he became the one to kill her. O_o; Thank God they didn't pick this route or I'll probably be scarred for life.
I think they decided to end it there with Euphemia on her deathbed. It would be overdoing it if she still tried to kill Suzaku and his Geass was activated.
And, if Suzaku did kill Euphie, even by accident, he would go insane. He wouldn't be sane enough for another season.

If this scene was in R2, it would have, with the amount of Murphy's Law running amuck in the season.
