Writing drama is hard. Sticking to a popular formula is easy. That's why sometimes you can create a '''temporary''' [[Genre Shift]] in a series to fill up time in your story. For example, many television shows are general drama, but...with a character who is a doctor. You know that soon enough, there's going to be a central episode for that character, complete with a medical plot.
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
This trope is often paired with [[Mood Whiplash]]. For a permanent genre change, see [[Genre Shift]], [[Halfway Plot Switch]] is when the plot starts out as something unrelated leading up to the switch. See [[Genre Roulette]] for a more extreme version, and [[Courtroom Episode]] for a common subtrope. For the same principle applied to video game genres, see [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]], [[Mundanger]].
