Line 220:
** Of course, Angel being [[The Atoner|Angel]], and the whole message of the show is "everyone is capable of, and deserves, a chance at redemption, this is played straight sometimes, as Angel often tries to save villans. In Season Two, him not doing this {{spoiler|letting a load of Wolfram and Hart lawyers be killed by Darla and Drusilla}} is shown as an almost [[Moral Event Horizon]].
* It happens quite a few times in ''[[Wicked Science]]'' where Toby has to help Elizabeth when her experiments [[Gone Horribly Wrong|gave her]] [[Gone Horribly Right|unexpected results]].

* In the epic ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' module ''Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil'', {{spoiler|the Player Characters might inadvertently rescue one of the most notorious villains in the history of the game. Sometime prior to the events of this module, Zuggtmoy, the [[Big Bad]] of the original ''[[Temple of Elemental Evil]]'' module, was captured by the villains in this one, transformed into an altar, and forced to serve as a shrine in the Tabernacle of Utter Darkness, a location in the Temple of All Consumption. This nightmarish, evil room is usually one of the most dangerous places in the Temple, and the PCs risk their souls being imprisoned for eternity if they lose the battle that will likely take place here. However, if they first visit the actual Temple of Elemental Evil, there's one place where one of them hears Zuggtmoy's voice pleading to be released, telling them a way to do it, and promising three wishes if he does. (She does not reveal who she is.) If the character does this when he does get to the Tabernacle, Zuggtmoy is freed, the biggest danger of the place is eliminated, and he does indeed get the three wishes. However, Zuggtmoy does leave a giant Violet Fungus behind to attack him and his friends, although given the demons and cultists they'd have to defeat to get there, it's doubtful ''that'' would be a problem for them.}}
