New Old Flame: Difference between revisions

 

 

* Shau'nac/Teal'c in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', "Crossroads".

** Teal'c's wife, Drey'auc, is one of these in the first season.

* Although not a lover, an episode of ''[[The A-Team]]'' does this strangely. One episode is based around the funeral of their old army buddy. There's a lot of tender reminiscing, and even a lingering close-up on a photo of the five of them standing together in uniform. This is made only ''slightly'' less poignant by the fact that ''we've never heard of this guy before, nor will we again''.

** A more traditional version of the trope is "The Only Church In Town", in which Face's first love Leslie Bektall turns up after a fifteen-year absence. (During which time she's become a nun. Ouch.)

* Variant in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'': Jadzia Dax and Lenara Kahn had technically never met before their one-episode romance, but the previous hosts of their symbionts were married.

** Played straight in the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|DS9]]'' episode "Profit and Loss", where Quark's old flame from the Bajorean Occupation, a Cardassian woman, returns to the station.

* Tony's ex-fiancee Wendy showed up mid-season 8 of ''[[NCIS]]''. Whether she will become the [[Romantic False Lead]], or the actualy [[Love Interest]], remains to be seen.

* ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'': Otto's conscience was finally starting to tormenting him for having tricked his rival out of the way so he could marry Gretchen. Otto then invited said rival over. However, when it turned out said rival was still in love with Gretchen all those years, Otto expelled him before Gretchen ever knew he came back.
