A subtrope of TitleDrop, where the title of a work is used as the last line spoken or near its end. Often, the title drop will finally explain why the episode/book/etc is called that way to begin with. You can probably find these mainly in thriller works, where it makes you sit up and think (and adds a bit of drama to the ending). It's also common in plays that were written during the Victorian era.
