Line 102:
** There was also the episode with the [[All Just a Dream]] ending, so after Jess returns to reality we see the "murder victim" alive and well.
* Be very wary when ''[[Law & Order|Law and Order]]'' does this - if the [[Victim of the Week]] is still standing at the start of the trial segment, as a rule, the assailant will plead out and ''he'll'' be the one on trial for whatever made people try to kill him.
** Although the Season 16 episode "[[Law and& Order (Franchise)/Recap/S16/E01 Red Ball|Red Ball]]" is a very, very rare straight example. A little girl is kidnapped, the cops catch the guy who did it but he won't tell them where the girl is (or even if she's still alive). He ends up trying to game to system, saying he'll only tell the police and prosecutors where the girl is if he's given a free pass with no prison time whatsoever - after much arguing and agonizing, Jack McCoy defies his superiors and grants the kidnapper the deal, more or less guaranteeing he'll be fired. {{spoiler|1=The girl is found safe and well, the Judge presiding over the case overrules the deal McCoy gave the kidnappers and sentences him to a fair bit of prison time, and as the final kicker, Arthur Branch doesn't even fire Jack. Everybody wins (except the bad guy of course)}}.
** Another rare straight example is the [[Series Finale]]. The detectives come across a website of someone boasting they're going to shoot up and blow up a school while showing off enough ammo and explosives to make their threat credible. The scramble is to try to find the perp before he can carry out his boast. In the end, a school shooting does occur, but the shooter is overpowered before he can kill anybody. Also, at her retirement party, Van Buren learns that her cancer tests have come back negative, and happily introduces everybody to her fiancee.
* ''[[Kamen Rider|Kamen Rider Ryuki]]'', whose main premise was [[There Can Be Only One]], ends with {{spoiler|Len/Knight}} as the last remaining Rider after everyone else has been killed off. However, the master of the Rider War isn't too happy with this outcome (since {{spoiler|his proxy Odin wasn't the winner}}) and attempts to [[Reset Button Ending|start things over by rewinding time]]. However, Yui finally convinces him that no matter how many times the Rider War is run, {{spoiler|[[You Can't Fight Fate|she will never accept a new life from him]] if it's at the cost of thirteen others}}. So this time when he rewinds everything, he stays in the [[Phantom Zone|Mirror World]] with Yui and never starts the Rider War in the first place. Thus, Everybody Lives. Bravo, Yasuko Kobayashi.
