* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' does this ''three times'' in the Book 2 finale. First, it's quite clear that {{spoiler|Zuko's gonna do a [[Heel Face Turn]] and join Team Avatar, but he instead does the [[Face Heel Turn|reverse]], betraying his uncle Iroh and teaming up with Azula.}} As if that wasn't bad enough, then, {{spoiler|while Aang appears to have mastered the Avatar State, Azula shoots him with lightning, killing him, and as a result, successfully taking the Earth Kingdom capitol of Ba Sing Se. [[Back from the Dead|He comes back]], at least.}} |

* ''[[ReBoot]]''. The final episode of the series has {{spoiler|Megabyte captured and our heros celebrating. But then it turns out the captured Megabyte was an alias (aka a decoy) and that Megabyte had infiltrated the Principal Office and then took over.}} Cue Cliffhanger. |

* This trope is a recurring theme in ''[[G.I. Joe: Renegades]]'', where [[Failure Is the Only Option]]. Every time the Joes find something that will clear their names, it's a safe bet it will either get burned, blown up, smashed, stolen, or stabbed. {{spoiler|That is until the season one finale where the Joes returned to the Pentagon with all the evidence they needed to clear their names after destroying Cobra Mansion and defeating Cobra Commander, who survived and is ticked off by the way. The series is now on hiatus until the second live action movie is finished but it's doubtful the Joes will suddenly become wanted crinimals again when it resumes.}} |

* During the [[Christmas Episode]] of ''[[Metalocalypse]]'', Doctor Rockzo, The Rock and Roll Clown (he does cocaine) sells all of Toki's Secret Santa gifts, for some cocaine.
