Line 183:
* In the end of the ''[[CSI]]'' episode "Pirates of the Third Reich", Lady Heather, the recurring dominatrix character, has abducted her daughter's killer, tied him up and is beating him bloody with her bullwhip when Grissom arrives to confront her. In a previous episode, the two had discussed the sanctity of the safeword; in a BDSM relationship, when the dominant is told to stop, she ''must'' stop. So when Grissom (who had once engaged in some [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] with her) grabs the whip as she's swinging it and tells her "I said ''stop''", she caves, and it's a powerful moment to those who realize the significance.
* The US version of ''[[The Office]]'' has a few Call Back jokes throughout the series. One of the more notable of these is the use of the expression "Win-Win-Win" to describe a favorable outcome of a compromise. According to the season 2 episode "Conflict Resolution", both parties win for having a successful compromise, and Michael wins for having successfully managed a conflict. From this point on, "Win-Win" in almost any context is replaced by "Win-Win-Win".
* Season
* ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' is full of these, but you have to be on your toes to pick up on them. The line "The fact that you call making love 'pop-pop' shows me you're not ready" is used in two completely different contexts by two different characters over the course of two seasons.
* ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'' (not known for its continuity) has a moment in the "The Deadly Years" where [[The Kirk|Kirk]] references the Corbomite Self-Destruct Device from "The Corbomite Maneuver" in order to bluff some Romulans. Some of the Bridge Crew actually smile when he makes the broadcast. There's another one in "The Trouble with Tribbles" when the Klingon commander makes a reference to the Organian peace treaty. In "Errand of Mercy", the Organians intervened to stop the Klingons and [[The Federation]] trying to kill each other - apparently they're still watching.
