It's a very recent one but my answer right now has to be Arcane, season 2, episode 7. It's a brilliant show from start to finish but this episode in particular is such a gut punch it still hurts to think about.

Fuck that's a tough one. Futurama also leaps to mind immediately... but I think it'd probably be a Firefly episode simply due to the density of awesome. Of those it'd probably be Train Job though Shindig is a strong contender.
I would strongly vote for Our Mrs Reynolds for best Firefly episode.
I thought of that one but, at least to my memory, the strong focus on Mal in that episode sort of minimized the fun space cowboy aspects.
Honestly I think any episode outside of Bushwhacked/War Stories/Out of Space is fair.
In my original comment I'd mentioned Jaynestown as a runner runner up and Serenity also probably deserves an honorable mention.
The show, IMO was weakest when it tried to build an overarching plot probably because we never got payoffs for it - so the anthology episodes aged the best. Honestly, I may also love it because it was like bonus Cowboy Bebop - but none of those episodes feel as jam packed with awesome.
God, my comment has probably pissed off everyone on the internet.
They wouldn't work by themselves (for the desert island thing) but there are two season finales I love. Dark season 2 and Mr Robot season 3. Two great seasons with tension being built up and these gave just the perfect ending.

Probably the "Flu-ouise" episode of Bob's Burgers (Season 7, Episode 1). At least I hope so, it's the only episode of a TV show I have a tattoo of (terrible photo and the tattoo needs touch-ups). Bob's is my and my wife's comfort show, we end up re-watching it a few times a year.
Flu-ouise is the show's first take on a real musical episode. Both the A and B plots are really strong. Its firmly in the show's golden age and is flanked by really great episodes too (The "Glued, Where's My Bob" two-parter is before and "Sea Me Now" is the next episode). It introduces Melty Kuchi Kopi (aka 6-pack Kuchi Kopi) and may on Louise's other toys and gives us one of the best arguments that H Jon Benjamin has with himself throughout the series.
The episode of The Magicians where they sing Under Pressure.
Idk what it is, but I've rewatched that scene 1000 times.

A lot of great shows aren't coming to mind, but one great show is:
Atlanta - The Goof Who Sat by the Door (Season 4, Episode 8)
Without a doubt top 5 funniest episodes of anything I've ever seen. This show was absolutely brilliant, with a lot of great episodes, but this one was... chefs kiss
Agents of shield s3 e 13, why? A spies goodbye, if you know, you know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpRssodHXks
Dr who The 11 hour
Having been told about Dr who, and having seen a fee episodes prior. This one encapsulated the entire series for me and explained all of the why's I had with previous doctors and previous companions
To have river song start with the 10th doctor and carry on just allowed me to inhabit any episode past or present.
Now as a whovien I will cheat and say part one and two of the pandorica was a fantastic episode.
With honorable mentions to the Christmas special with all three doctors
