Line 2:
Well, your good ole [[Villain Protagonist]] is back for another episode of jolly good death and destruction- ready to teach those no good, rotten goodey-two-shoes another lesson about why it's so great to be the bad guy. But wait . . . that's not Bob the Butcher on the screen. . . . it's not even his peppy yet psychotically insane sidekick. It's the heroes, ladies and gentlemen. And the next thiry plus minutes are all their's.
 
The Hero Episode is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]], and basically what the [[Villain Episode]] is called when you've got yourself a villain protagonist. In TV shows where the person who is technically the villain is the main focus, it's intersting to have [[Something Completely Different]] for an episode to show what the ''real'' heroes of the story are doing. Whether it's just a [[Villains Out Shopping]] (villain?) episode, or [[The Greatest Story Never Told]] depends on the reason for the episode. Sometimes, the ''hero'' has done something so depraved that they need a [[Breather Episode]]. Maybe they just wanted something different.
 
Compare and Contrast: [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]], [[A Death in Thethe Limelight]], [[The Greatest Story Never Told]], [[A Day in The Life]], [[Villain Episode]], [[Hostile Show Takeover]], and [[Sympathetic POV]].
