Line 169:
* In ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]'' Elena tries to convince Anna and Jeremy to stop seeing each other by arguing that she can't age or have children and so their relationship can't have a future ( {{spoiler|Anna's a ghost,}} so there are other arguments she could have made, but those are the ones she went with). She then immediately returns to work on getting her eternally 17 vampire boyfriend back. To make things worse, Elena explicitly doesn't want to become a vampire, while Jeremy has previously been open to it, making the immortality issue ''more'' of an issue for her.
* On a third-season episode of ''Friends,'' Carol expresses ''disapproval'' when she finds out that Ross cheated on Rachel (although Ross insisted that it wasn't cheating because they were "on a break" at the time). This, despite the fact that Carol actually slept with Susan ''while she was still married to Ross.'' Nobody, not even Ross, seemed to find it hypocritical that Carol was taking Ross to task for doing something that she had previously done to him.
* ''[[Ally Mc BealMcBeal]]'' / ''[[The Practice]]'' : In a two-part crossover episode, one of Cage & Fish's clients is arrested for murder. Deciding that the case is out of their firm's league, John Cage enlists the help of Bobby Donnell and his firm. However, after seeing how ''wacky'' the Cage & Fish lawyers are, Bobby secretly goes to the client and advises her to discharge Cage & Fish and hire Bobby's firm as her sole representation. When Bobby asks the client to trust him, she raises an eyebrow and points out that Bobby is asking her to trust him ''at the same time that he is betraying somebody else's trust.'' Bobby has no real response to this, and later goes to Cage & Fish and admits what he'd done.
* In the ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'', episode "Return of Callisto", a veteran jailer warns his younger assistant to use caution around the prisoners they have to feed and to ''never'' feel sorry for them, as they are all unrepentant murderers and rapists. He emphasizes this advise when they reach the cell holding Callisto, who is so dangerous, she is shackled to an iron chair, having already murdered two guards who ignored this advice. However, even as he is saying this, he does not notice that Callisto has stolen his dagger, and in the next scene, he and several other guards are drunk and playing dice games right outside her cell. Because he fails to follow his own advice, she escapes, and what she does to him after killing the other guards [[Gory Discretion Shot| happens offscreen.]]
