** What, are we forgetting about what caused Faith to turn evil (even though it was at least half Buffy's fault)?
* An episode of ''[[Foyles War|Foyle's War]]'' had a man who accidentally killed someone with a similar name to the depraved RAF officer who impregnated his daughter, then drove her to suicide.
* In the fifth season finale of ''[[Highlander the Series]]'', Duncan MacLeod is hunting around an abandoned racetrack in the dark, looking for a demon who is taunting him by prancing around wearing the faces of student [[LikeaLike a Son to Me|Richie Ryan]] and conquered enemies [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Kronos]] and [[Complete Monster|James Horton]], who all appear at the same time and trap him between them. They all disappear, Duncan whips around...and in his confusion beheads the ''real'' Richie, who was there [[Idiot Ball|even though everyone told him not to go.]]
* The third episode of the French series ''[[Empreintes Criminelles]]'' starts with a scientist being shot in a brothel, from an unknown source. It turns out an [[Asshole Victim]] was being killed next room, and one of the bullets overpenetrated through the guy and the wall.
* The pilot of ''[[Starsky and Hutch (TV)|Starsky and Hutch]]'' is set up as this, with a hit on Starsky mistakenly taking out an innocent couple (due to their mutual possession of a [[Cool Car|fairly distinctive car]]); it develops that they actually were the intended victims, with Starsky set up as a fake target to misdirect attention from the real motive.
