History Main / MilhollandRelationshipMoment

* In the first season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}'', ''three'' members of the team (ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, [[NaiveNewcomer M'gann]] and [[TheArcher Artemis]]) are keeping secrets that they think would get them kicked off if the others knew. In the penultimate episode of the season, they all come clean and find out nobody cares. In fact, [[TheSmartGuy Robin]] already knew Artemis' secret and Superboy knew M'gann's (and he was the one she was most worried about). WordOfGod says this was an intentional [[AnAesop Aesop]] that secrets can be a bigger deal when you hide them than if you just admit the truth.

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Played with when Ross briefly dates Chandler's ex-girlfriend Janice, and is really worried that Chandler will be mad. Chandler genuinely doesn't care, but [[OhCrap realizes]] that he himself is [[MySisterIsOffLimits secretly dating Ross' sister]]. As a result, he ''pretends'' to be angry at Ross and makes a big show of forgiving him, making very clear that ''friends forgive each other for that kind of thing!'' And he points out that he let Ross stay in his apartment rent free! And also giving Ross [[ComicallySmallBribe ]] [[note]]Everything he had on him at the time[[/note]], no strings attached.

* In ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'' Wade spends much of the film trying to track down Francis in order to fix Wade's horrifically scarred face so that he can be with Vanessa again. Wade believes that Vanessa would reject him for being so ugly and doesn't even let her know he's alive. At the end of the film, when Vanessa learns he's still alive, she's more annoyed that he hid from her than anything else. After a momentary adjustment, she tells Wade that his new face is one she would be happy to sit on.

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': the cartoon "Bone Sweet Bone" had a museum scientist putting a dinosaur skeleton together only to find he is missing the bone of the tail's very end. He accuses his dog Shep of stealing it and orders him to retrieve it from a bulldog which now apparently has it. While Shep is busting a gut trying to get the bone back, the scientist discovers he had the tail bone in his pocket all the time. Shep returns with the other bone, and when the scientist tells him he had the tail bone, Shep goes absolutely mental ("If you think this little incident is going to upset me...you're absolutely right!")

* Similar to "Bone Sweet Bone" above, WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry are museum janitors in their 1975 cartoon and are accused of losing a valuable bone from a dinosaur skeleton. When they are told by the scientist that he had the bone all along while they were battling a bulldog over a separate bone, Tom and Jerry calmly cause the skeleton to come crashing to the floor.

** In the episode "Guitar" Josh accidentally destroys a very valuable guitar of Drake's. When Josh eventually admits to it (after having spent the rest of the episode trying to get a replacement -- up to and including getting it autographed -- a feat which cost him the only $1,200 he had), Drake reveals that he'd already found out, forgives Josh immediately, and tells Josh that him spending his life savings on a replacement is "the coolest thing anyone's ever done for me." [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Drake then pays Josh back all the money he spent, plus enough extra to buy the tanning bed he'd been saving up for.]]

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Played with when Ross briefly dates Chandler's ex-girlfriend Janice, and is really worried that Chandler will be mad. Chandler genuinely doesn't care, but [[OhCrap realizes]] that he himself is [[MySisterIsOffLimits secretly dating Ross' sister]].

And he points out that he let Ross stay in his apartment rent free! And also giving Ross [[ComicallySmallBribe 27 dollars]] [[note]]Everything he had on him at the time[[/note]], no strings attached.

The name is a riff on the SorkinRelationshipMoment (a phrase coined by Creator/EricBurnsWhite) and Randy Milholland of ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'', who does this quite frequently. Not to be confused with the lesbian relationship in ''Film/MulhollandDrive.''

* A filler arc of ''Anime/{{Naruto}}'' has Naruto and Ino hired to stand in for a princess during her wedding, as the stress of has caused the bride to [[ComfortFood eat]] until she gained a ton of weight. Her fiance being rather snobby, she's positive that he'll call the wedding off when he sees how big she's gotten. When the duo predictably fail to make the ruse work, they discover that the groom-to-be [[ChubbyChaser actually prefers women on the heavy side]]. Ino, who diets obsessively to keep her skinny figure, [[ShaggyDogStory is rather]] [[AllForNothing non-plussed by this]].

* Two notable examples in ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'': the first occurs when Leetah accidentally yells out Cutter's secret soul name in front of Cutter's best friend, Skywise. It turns out Cutter and Skywise have such a strong mental link, they've known each other's soul names since they were kids... and Cutter's just happy to see Leetah and Skywise again. The second one occurs when BigBad Winnowill reveals that Leetah knows about Cutter's animal heritage. Cutter and Leetah both decide it doesn't matter.
* In ''Comicbook/{{Estranged}},'' Edmund lives in fear of how his family will react if they learn that he's actually [[ChangelingTale a changeling]]--a concern that is obviously heightened when his human counterpart shows up. Eventually, Alexis learns the truth and, after taking a moment to process the information, comments that she considers them ''both'' her brothers. Edmund looks about ready to cry from relief.

* ''VisualNovel/GalaxyAngel'': Done once in Mint's route in Eternal Lovers, the third game. Mint's telepathy powers have malfunctioned as the result of a head injury, so instead of Mint being able to read other people's minds, everyone else now can hear her thoughts. And she can't control it, so a bunch of insulting thoughts about the other Angels came tumbling out of her head. Due to a combination of this and other factors, Mint tried to isolate herself from everyone else. Even after Tact's managed to lure her out with a heartwarming speech over loudspeaker, Mint is still worried that the Angels will all hate her now. Then the other Angels actually show up, and Mint braces herself for the hatred and scorn, setting up the Milholland Relationship Moment... and instead of getting angry at Mint for her earlier negative thoughts, the rest of the Angels share their own negative thoughts about Mint, all of them minor things [[labelnote:Detailed explanation]]Forte doesn't like Mint's extra set of ears, since Forte is jealous that Mint is doing something nobody else can pull off. Ranpha is jealous of Mint's small body, but only because if Ranpha was small like Mint, Ranpha could wear cuter clothes. Milfeulle says sometimes Mint can be surprisingly harsh with her jokes and sometimes Milfeulle starts crying. Chitose thinks Mint should try to be less sarcastic. Finally, Vanilla asks Mint to please stop pulling on the space rabbits' ears when she plays with them. And Tact himself chimes in that he'd prefer it if Mint didn't enjoy teasing other people so much. [[/labelnote]]. Well, now they've all told Mint how they feel, does Mint hate them now? Mint says of course not...aha, in reality, sharing their real feelings with each other has made them all closer together! Mint should have a little more faith in them.
* Downplayed in ''VisualNovel/{{Melody}}'' after the title character steals food at the karaoke bar, and thus gets Xianne fired. Melody isn’t wracked by grief, but she knows, especially with some prodding by the protagonist, that what she did was wrong. The next time she runs into Xianne, Xianne is working a couple of other jobs, so things didn’t turn out badly for Xianne in the end. She asks the protagonist, who is with her at the time, if she should confess her role in Xianne’s firing, but he advises her against it exactly because Xianne was able to bounce back so quickly.
* Two examples occur in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'':
** Ron [=DeLite=] is accused of being infamous GentlemanThief [=Mask☆DeMasque=]. During the case it's revealed that [[spoiler:he really ''is'' [=Mask☆DeMasque=]]] and he's sure his wife will dump him because of it, since she hates [[spoiler:sneaky criminals]]. His wife doesn't mind said fact, explaining that she hates [[spoiler:[[ExactWords ''sneaky'' criminals]] and [=Mask☆DeMasque=] always announced his crimes beforehand like a man]].
** Near the end Iris reveals to Phoenix that [[spoiler:she pulled a twin switch with her twin sister, Dahlia Hawnthorne, and it was ''Iris'', not Dahlia, whom Phoenix dated 5 years earlier]]. Phoenix's reaction?
--->'''Phoenix:''' You really are the person I always thought you were.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'':

* Around the second half of ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail'', Meimi has a nightmare about Asuka Jr. finding out about her identity as the PhantomThief he'd been chasing the entire time and snapping at her angrily on the spot before cutting her off, leading to her convincing herself that this will happen if he actually does find out. At exactly the same time, it becomes obvious to the reader that Asuka Jr. is far too worried about Meimi's well-being to do something like that without at least wanting an explanation, and as the series progresses, Meimi becomes increasingly paranoid about the consequences of him finding out her identity while Asuka Jr. eventually considers her being Saint Tail to be [[HeroicFatigue more of a potential threat to herself]] than he's angry about anything. [[spoiler:By the time Meimi decides to reveal her identity to him in a bid to rescue him from kidnappers, he responds by holding her tightly and expressing relief for her safety and happiness about everything she'd done for him (among other things).

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': the cartoon "Bone Sweet Bone" had a museum scientist putting a dinosaur skeleton together only to find he is missing the bone of the tail's very end.

** When Marinette accidentally erases a video from Alya's phone in ''The Mime'', she steals the phone and spends a good part of the episode trying to find a way to recover it. When she finally confesses what happened at the end, Alya reveals that she's only angry that it took Marinette this long to admit it - because she saves all of her videos in the cloud, and she would have rather Marinette save herself some anguish.

** In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' Harry realizes he has feelings for Ginny and spends months worrying what Ron would say [[MySisterIsOffLimits if he tried to date his sister]]. His reaction basically comes down to a resigned [[{{Squick}} "Ew"]] and, in the next book, a (relatively mild) [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer warning not to break her heart]].

* In ''Literature/TheSagaOfDarrenShan'': The heroes end up hunting a madman in Mr. Crepsley's birth city. While there he starts dating a local girl named Debbie which he and Evra both agree Mr. Crepsley will ''not'' approve of.

[[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Drake then pays Josh back all the money he spent, plus enough extra to buy the tanning bed he'd been saving up for.]]

* In an episode of ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', a mysterious masked amazing piano player is revealed to be Skull, who doesn't want to show his face for fear of being made fun of, seeing how he always plays a cool, rebellious persona. He particularly fears the reaction of his friend Bulk, who routinely laughs at the kind of people who'd play classical music, calling them "dweebs". At the end of the episode, he gathers the courage to play a Chopin piece in front of the whole school. Bulk shows up when he's starting and is completely surprised of seeing his friend there. When Skull finishes and sees Bulk coming up to him, he expects mockery, but instead Bulk congratulates him on his performance and claims he was wrong he ever thought only "dweebs" played music.

** Michal asks Ivan if he lost his voice as part of gaining his superpower. When Ivan clarifies that his lack of voice is a genetic defect that he's had since birth, Michal is so horrified at himself, and so afraid of Ivan seeking retribution for him saying something ignorant, that he [[WreathedInFlames bursts into flames]] and starts a minor panic as everyone scampers to put him out. The reality is that Ivan was amused by Michal putting his foot in his mouth, and not offended at all.

** Ron [=DeLite=] is accused of being infamous GentlemanThief [=Mask☆DeMasque=].

** In "Lesson Zero," Twilight's high standards kick in when she realizes that she hasn't solved a friendship problem that week, meaning she'll have nothing to report in her weekly letter to Princess Celestia--and she ''has'' to write that letter. She spends the whole episode looking for an issue to solve, but since everyone in town is doing just fine, she resolves to ''make'' a problem by enchanting an old doll of hers into an AppleOfDiscord that drives everyone who sees it into a frenzy of desire. The plan [[GoneHorriblyRight works too well]] and brainwashes nearly all of Ponyville into a destructive mob. Celestia herself then shows up in a [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness genuine rage]] and, after easily breaking the spell on the doll, sternly tells Twilight to meet her in the Ponyville Library for a serious discussion. Once there, though, Celestia calmly tells Twilight that she's not angry at her for not finding a problem, but rather being irresponsible with her magic; if she doesn't have something to write about, she shouldn't force herself to do so.

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDxD'': [[spoiler:Rizevim forces Issei to drink dragon's blood, mutating him into his dragonoid form in front of his parents, then gloating that [[MetaphoricallyTrue this was the devil impersonating their son]].

* Done in ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', with Bloo breaking Mr. Herriman's most prized possession, a bust of Madame Foster. Having already fallen victim to Herriman's occasionally arbitrary rules (earlier, Bloo, in desperate need of some toilet time, is forced to first go through an entire morning routine by the rabbit), he's now done something that even ''he'' has to acknowledge is legitimately worth punishing--and he can only imagine what horrors Herriman has in store for him. He goes to such trouble to cover up his mistake that at one point he even enlists the help of Madame Foster herself to impersonate her own bust. When Herriman turns out to have a collection of spares and a completely philosophical attitude towards their breakage, Bloo nearly explodes. Then Frankie, who was knocked out and shoved in the closet the spares were stored in, wakes up and accidentally breaks them all.

* Early in ''Manga/GirlFriends'', Mari [[DudeShesLikeInAComa kisses Akko while she's asleep]]. This freaks her right the hell out and she proceeds to spend several hours trying to figure out a way to tell her. Then when she finally does... Akko is beyond relieved that that's it - Mari looked so nervous that she was seriously getting worried there! But to Akko, girls kiss all the time - it's just a way of showing affection. This actually ends up biting her in the arse later, though, when [[spoiler:she kisses Mari and intends for it to come across like a love confession, but Mari just thinks she's being a friend.]]

* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Matsuri became friends with Yayo and Lu [[GenderBenderFriendship after becoming a girl]], and they didn't know he used to be male. Once Yayo becomes able to see the supernatural, and thus understand what happened to Matsuri, Matsuri hides it from her out fear they'd hate him for it, and wonders if he'd be better off staying a girl just for that. Once Suzu convinces him otherwise and Matsuri admits the truth, Yayo is very sympathetic and even brushes off the time they bathed together. (Lu, still unable to see the supernatural, [[CassandraTruth doesn't believe him]].)

* The ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fanseries ''Fanfic/{{Suikakasen}}'' has Kasen confess after her HeelRealization that she is an {{Oni}} who only gave Yoshika hermit training so that she could gather the information needed to get past the [[SomeKindOfForceField gate Rajoumon]] to retrieve her severed arm (she requested Yoshika buy documents about barriers along with the hermit training books), and adds that she doesn't know if she's a human or an oni anymore after all the changes to her body. Yoshika ([[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan after shoving some peaches into Kasen's mouth]]) smiles and says that no matter what Kasen was thinking, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe she still appreciates the time they spent together]] and suggests that she could get over her LossOfIdentity by becoming a hermit together with her.
