** John is thrown into what looks very much like Earth, and immediately suspects Scorpius of messing with his head. However, when he finds Scorpius in the simulacrum, he protests that he's not the one doing it this time.
** Happens a whole bunch in season 4 when Scorpius joins our heroes on ''Moya'' and then again in "The Peacekeeper Wars." To be fair, John has good reason not to trust Scorpius after everything he's put him through.
* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'':
** In the
** The episode "Timescape" has a variation of this. Picard, Troi, Data, and La Forge are returning from a conference and encounter the ''Enterprise'' and a Romulan vessel, both frozen in a temporal field. At first, it looks very much like the two ships are fighting and the Romulans have both attacked and boarded the Enterprise, a suspicion that is only strengthened when they investigate the inside of the ship and find that Riker is unconscious, and worse, Dr. Crusher has been shot at close-range by a Romulan soldier (the temporal freezing the only reason she likely survives). {{quote|Eventually, after a way to reverse the temporal freezing is discovered, the more complicated truth emerges: The ''Enterprise'' was responding to a distress call from the Romulan vessel and helping them evacuate the ship, the true culprits in the case being shapeshifting aliens posing as Romulans. The soldier had tried to fire on one of the imposters; Crusher had simply gotten in the way.}}
* Not a recurring [[Big Bad]], but in one episode of ''[[Columbo]]'' the killers try to make it look like a repeat offender did their murder. Columbo doesn't seem convinced but pays a visit to that offender to be sure.

* The ''[[NCIS: Los Angeles]]'' episode "Exit Strategy" had the NCIS team thinking that the Sudanese dictator Khaled was responsible for the attempted assassination of Jada, his sister who had defected to America in his previous appearance, as he had the strong motive of keeping her silent in regards to his abuse of human rights in the region. However, when they contact him, he denies the attempt on his sister's life, citing that even he would not harm family, although the NCIS doesn't buy it. Turns out, the actual party responsible for the attempted assassination (or at least the one most directly responsible) was the CEO of an international French company that was also involved in Khaled's dictatorship, as Jada's exposure of Khaled's human rights abuses would also result in an investigation on their company and result in a tribunal against them, with France as a country also potentially getting into deep trouble.
* In the ''[[Smallville]]'' episode "Pariah", people start getting viciously assaulted from behind in locked rooms and other enclosed spaces. Everyone accuses Alicia Baker, as she can teleport and is a previously established psycho. Alicia protests that she has been cured of her insanity and was with her husband, Clark Kent, the whole time. {{spoiler|Eventually, Alicia gets assaulted and killed by the real culprit, Tim Westcott, a man with [[Super Strength]] and the ability to transform into living sand, which was how he entered those locked rooms. When Clark found out, he [[Unstoppable Rage|wasn't happy...]]}}
