** ''Series/DCLegendsOfTomorrow'': Ava Sharpe had no idea she was a clone from the year 2213 and even fainted in horror when she saw all the copies of her. Turns out Rip Hunter created her in a lab, gave her FakeMemories about her past, and deleted all evidence of her creation so that she never finds out the truth.

** In the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS03E05SecondSkin Second Skin]]", Kira is kidnapped by the Cardassian Obsidian Order as part of an anti-dissident setup and told she is actually Iliana Ghemor, a spy, who was implanted with false memories so even she would believe her cover story, sent to infiltrate the Bajoran resistance. Subverted in that she is ''not'' Iliana Ghemor, but Iliana is a real person, who really did have false memories implanted so she could infiltrate the Bajoran resistance. It's all part of a trap to reveal that Iliana's father is part of the dissident movement as he decides to smuggle her off Cardassia when Kira refuses to believe it.

* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' loves this trope. If the monsters in the show have human guises (or in the case of [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz one show]], ''were'' humans), a likely way to go about this is revealing one of the main character to one of them. Examples include:
** [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Takumi]] can use Faiz Rider Gear because he is the Wolf Orphenoch.

%% This page has been alphabetized. Please add new examples in the correct order.

'''Dalek:''' No. ''We'' created ''you!''

* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'':
** Happens in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E7WhatAreLittleGirlsMadeOf What Are Little Girls Made Of?]]" with Nurse Chapel's lost boyfriend. In this case, the boyfriend knew all along that he's an android body containing the human's memories. What he ''doesn't'' realize until the end is that he's not "the same person", as demonstrated by his amoral and insane actions over the course of the episode.
** Also happens to Kirk in "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E3TheParadiseSyndrome The Paradise Syndrome]]".
--->''"Behold the god who bleeds!"''
** And with Rayna in "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E19RequiemForMethuselah Requiem for Methuselah]]".
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
** {{Defied|Trope}} in "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E9Inheritance Inheritance]]". Juliana Tainer is programmed to shut down in the event that she discovers that she's actually an android. A program in Dr Soong's image gives Data the choice of either letting her continue to believe she's human or telling her the truth when he reactivates her; Data chooses the former.
** Happens to a damaged, amnesiac Data in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E15ThineOwnSelf Thine Own Self]]" when Data takes up a life in a pre-industrial village. The reveal is obviously not a shock to the audience, but a big one to Data.
** The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E17EyeOfTheBeholder Eye of the Beholder]]" plays with this trope in all sorts of ways. It turned out that an empath who had died during ''Enterprise'''s construction had left a sort of 'psychic residue' which had imposed the dead man's memories on empathic crew members unfortunate enough to wander into its proximity (it had caused one such crewman to commit suicide). Troi at one point actually screams in horror when she doesn't recognize her own reflection.

** In the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS03E05SecondSkin Second Skin]]", Kira is kidnapped by the Cardassian Obsidian Order as part of an anti-dissident setup and told she is actually Iliana Ghemor, a spy, who was implanted with false memories so even she would believe her cover story, sent to infiltrate the Bajoran resistance. Subverted in that she is NOT Iliana Ghemor, but Iliana is a real person, who really did have false memories implanted so she could infiltrate the Bajoran resistance. It's all part of a trap to reveal that Iliana's father is part of the dissident movement as he decides to smuggle her off Cardassia when Kira refuses to believe it.
*** The writers [[WhatMightHaveBeen actually considered]] having Kira turn out to have been Iliana all along without knowing it, or at least being left in uncertainty about the question, but it was decided that this would cause too much of a ContinuitySnarl.
* ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'':
** In "Concerning Flight", ''Voyager'' gets attacked by {{Space Pirate}}s who steal various pieces of their technology, including the ship's UsefulNotes/LeonardoDaVinci holoprogram and the Doctor's mobile emitter. When they track down the pirates, they discover Leonardo, who thinks he's been brought to "America". But while escaping, he gets hit by one of their weapons and is perturbed when he sees he isn't hurt, expressing extreme discomfort and fear with [[ClarkesThirdLaw what he recognizes as sorcery]], again an aspect of his program limitations. Eventually, Janeway grounds him with an analogy — if he was a bird, he would not understand the greater world of art, politics and philosophy. So to there are wonders which even Leonardo da Vinci cannot comprehend.
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E17CourseOblivion Course: Oblivion]]", the entire crew realized that they were in fact not the real ''Voyager'' crew. Several episodes earlier, a semi-sentient, planet-spanning, not-quite-lifeform on an inhospitable planet they visited to refill on deuterium had replicated the entire crew. Unbeknownst to the original crew, they eventually copied the entire ship, too, right down to the last bulkhead. They forgot they were copies and made warp drive modifications that were harmful to themselves, so they raced back to ''Voyager'' hoping to get more genetic samples to save themselves. They failed to get back before disintegrating completely, [[ShootTheShaggyDog dissipating just before they could contact Voyager]].
** PlayedForLaughs when the holographic Doctor is singing a duet on the holodeck. The holographic diva starts complaining about his tempo. "It's like singing with a computer!"
* ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'': In "[[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS03E10Similitude Similitude]]", Trip is seriously injured and becomes comatose. In order to obtain the neurological material needed to save his life, Phlox grows a mimetic symbiote injected with his DNA that becomes an exact, albeit fast-growing, duplicate of Trip, memories and all, whom the crew names Sim. While the audience knows what's happening, Sim doesn't, leading to a growing suspicion of the discrepancy between his false and real memories and eventually a dramatic discovery of the real Trip's comatose body.

** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E16TheHitchHiker The Hitch-Hiker]]": A young woman who is driving across the US keeps seeing and being frightened by a strange-looking hitchhiker. Near the end of her journey, she discovers that she actually died in a car accident near the beginning of her journey and the hitchhiker is Death who wants to take her to the afterlife. At the end of the episode, she looks in the mirror and sees the hitchhiker, rather than her own reflection.
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E34TheAfterHours The After Hours]]": Marcia White's shopping trip to a department store goes awry, as the people she talks to seem to transform into mannequins. In the end, we find out that she ''is'' a mannequin, whose month posing as a human is up; the others were concerned because she was late getting back. Also used in [[Series/TheTwilightZone1985 the '80s remake]].
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS2E44TheLatenessOfTheHour The Lateness of the Hour]]": A young woman is frustrated by her parents, who have become completely dependent on their robotic servants and who forbid her to leave the house. She eventually convinces her parents to dismantle the robots and then declares her intention to go out into the world. It's then that she discovers that ''she's'' just another of their robots, which causes her to have a massive FreakOut. The episode ends with her being reprogrammed to be their maid with seemingly no memory of her previous role.
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E79FiveCharactersInSearchOfAnExit Five Characters in Search of an Exit]]" is also an example. A clown, a hobo, a dancer, a bagpiper and a major wake in a prison with smooth walls and an open top. They speculate for a long time about where they could be and at one point the major calls the place "Hell" but at the end it is revealed that they're all toys that are to be donated to the less fortunate children during the Christmas season. Their prison is a donation bin.
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E94FourOClock Four O'Clock]]": A self-righteous man goes around telling anyone who will listen that at precisely four o'clock he will, by sheer force of will, cause every evil person on the planet Earth to shrink to two feet tall. Four o'clock rolls around and the man finds ''himself'' shrunk to a height of two feet tall, much to his chagrin. This implies that he has in fact succeeded in causing every evil person on Earth to shrink...
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E103InHisImage In His Image]]", after murdering a woman on the subway platform, Alan Talbot returns to his hometown with his fiancée, but discovers that nothing is the way he remembers it. Then he discovers that he is really a robot created 8 days prior, and all his memories were a fiction of his creator Walter Ryder, who wanted to build a more perfect version of himself.

* In ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse'', Eleanor "Nell" Crain is among the worst-affected of her siblings by her childhood from living in the titular haunted Hill House, with one particular spirit that she calls the "Bent-Neck Lady" showing up in her nightmares, and then appearing in front of her multiple times after the death of her husband. In an attempt to gain closure and stop the haunting, she drives back to Hill House to prove to herself that the spirit only came from an unrelated corpse. This turns out to be an elaborate lure from the Hill House spirits, particularly from her dead mother, who tricks her into hanging herself from a staircase bannister. [[MyLifeFlashedBeforeMyEyes Through a montage of moments where Nell was haunted]], it's revealed that Nell was the Bent-Neck Lady. She understandably does ''not'' take the news well as she dies.

* In the ''Series/BlackMirror'' episode [[Recap/BlackMirrorWhiteBear "White Bear"]], the reason why Victoria is unable to remember who she is and what is going on around her is because the White Bear employees are keeping her in an AmnesiaLoop, psychologically breaking her down through a TraumaCongaLine [[FateWorseThanDeath again and again]]. The reason why this is happening is because the little girl she saw in a photograph she thought was her daughter was actually her and her boyfriend's ''victim'', and she recorded the six year-old's torture and death at her boyfriend's hands.

** In "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E17CourseOblivion Course: Oblivion]]", the entire crew realized that they were in fact not the real Voyager crew. Several episodes earlier, a semi-sentient, planet-spanning, not-quite-lifeform on an inhospitable planet they visited to refill on deuterium had replicated the entire crew.

** The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E17EyeOfTheBeholder Eye of the Beholder]]" plays with this trope in all sorts of ways. It turned out that telepath who had died during ''Enterprise'''s construction had left a sort of 'psychic residue' which had imposed the dead woman's memories on empathic crew members unfortunate enough to wander into its proximity (it had caused one such crewman to commit suicide). Troi at one point actually screams in horror when she doesn't recognize her own reflection.

** {{Defied|Trope}} in "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS7E9Inheritance Inheritance]]". Juliana Tainer is programmed to shut down in the event that she discovers that she's actually an android.

* In an episode of ''Series/OnceUponATime'' we follow the story of Red Riding Hood, whose grandmother is trying desperately to keep from seeing her boyfriend at night. Red becomes convinced that he is the Big Bad Wolf that is terrorizing the town, when it is actually Red herself that's the werewolf, inherited from her mother, and Granny was trying to save the boyfriend's life.

** A long sequence in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E3TheReplacement The Replacement]]" follows "real" Xander watching another Xander doing various errands and "hypnotizing" people. This convinces the "real" Xander (and the viewers) that the other Xander is the MonsterOfTheWeek, who blasted Xander with some kind of magical staff earlier and so could plausibly have taken on his form. Eventually, "real" Xander discovers that he is Xander's weaker points and the other Xander is Xander's stronger points; they were [[StarfishCharacter separated]] by the demon's staff attack. The coin he's using to "hypnotize" is merely a nickel he found squashed by a train that he plays with in idle moments.

* ''Series/DarkMatter'': In the [[FirstEpisodeTwist first episode]], the crew awaken from stasis on their ship with total IdentityAmnesia and name themselves [[YouAreNumberSix One through Six]] as a placeholder in the order they woke up. Following their pre-programmed course to a mining colony, they learn that the settlers are in conflict with the corrupt MegaCorp Ferrous Corporation and have heard that [[PsychoForHire brutal mercenaries]] called "the Raza" (known to LeaveNoSurvivors, leading to them being spoken of with [[TheDreaded much fear]] and wild rumors about their nature) have been hired by Ferrous as deniable enforcers to wipe them out so the company can take their land and the valuable nearby asteroid belt. The crew's best working theory is that they themselves are the people the colonists say have been sent by a man named Hrothgar to help them fight the Raza off, since their cargo hold is full of weapons and their team NiceGuy One found a pendant like Hrothgar's in his quarters. Meanwhile, the ship's android finishes recovering some of the wiped computer files about its crew. [[spoiler:They are the mercenaries, and their ship is named the ''Raza''. Each of them is guilty of at minimum Murder and Assault and then a grab bag of other crimes. They boosted the weapons from Hrothgar's people and killed them, taking the pendant as well. As you might expect, this leads to lots of AmnesiacDissonance, especially for One, Two and Six (while Five is an apparently innocent [[MysteriousWaif teenage girl]] who's not in the files to begin with)]].

** [[Series/KamenRiderGeats Neon]] was created when her father used a DGP wish to replace his dead daughter, Akari.

** ''{{Series/Arrow}}''

* ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' has done this with five characters. Boomer spends the first season wrestling with the slow realization that she's the Tomato in the Mirror, a Cylon ManchurianAgent. Moreover, as of the Season Three finale, Tory Foster, Galen Tyrol, Sam Anders and Saul Tigh are "triggered", and realise they're Cylons as well.

* ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'': a group of mysterious beasts attack magical creatures during the ultra-rare second blue moon in a year. The Charmed Ones set up a trap to catch them... only to wake up and find themselves in the trap. Turns out the blue moon turned ''them'' into those beasts. It MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.

'''Dalek:''' [[AC:No. ''We'' created ''you!'']]

* In ''Series/NightVisions'', in an episode named “My So-Called Life and Death”, a girl discovers she and her family died and are now ghosts.

** "Birthright": A senator gets into a car crash and gets caught up in an alien plot to [[HostileTerraforming poison the atmosphere so humans will die and aliens take over]]. It turns out he was one of the aliens, who got amnesia from the crash so that only his implanted human memories remained.

** In ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive,'' a villain gives the HumongousMecha a virus, and it's spread to the base...and then to the Red Ranger, Mack, who turns out to be an android.

** Bizarrely enough, the MindScrew ending implies that this is the entire premise of the series.
** In the episode "The Schizoid Man", Number Six seems to have been mistaken for an agent trained to impersonate him. Evidence mounts that in fact he is the impostor, and has forgotten his own identity. But in the end, the trope is subverted as he realizes that's what they want him to think.

** This trope is played with in the episode "Out of Time", when Lister is apparently revealed to be a {{Ridiculously Human Robot|s}}. He is floored by the revelation, but gets no sympathy from Kryten, who points out that his emotions are only artificial. However, the moment the crew escapes the unreality pocket through which they were traveling at the time, he becomes human again. (In fact, as the other reality was false, he had never been anything but human.)
** Rimmer in various episodes. In "The Inquisitor", a copy of himself provides a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Reason I Suck Speech]]; in "Terrorform", it's through a speech delivered by a living version of his self-loathing; and in "Rimmerworld" he is marooned on a planet with only his clones for company.

*** "Tin Man" (season 1): The SG-1 team seems to have been transferred into robot bodies by a lonely alien maintenance man. In the end, they find out that they weren't transferred, they were ''copied'', with the originals still alive.
*** "Fragile Balance" (season 7): Jack O'Neill wakes up after an alien abduction to find himself in a body 30 years younger... and slowly dying. After convincing his colleagues of his identity and tracking down his abductor, Loki, he finds that he is actually a genetically damaged clone of the original O'Neill (still with Loki). After being freed, O'Neill convinces Thor to fix the clone's genes so that he can [[ClonesArePeopleToo live his own life]] (and go to high school).

*** In "Michael" (Season 2), "Lieutenant Michael Kenmore" awakens in Atlantis's infirmary, unable to remember who he is. After being informed of who he is and that he barely survived terrible injuries from a raid deep in enemy territory, he is let out and undergoes psychiatric therapy (including periodic drug injections) for the strange nightmares he keeps having. He eventually discovers secret observation videos of himself in the infirmary, and is horrified to discover that he is actually a vampiric Wraith that was transformed into a human using an experimental genetic drug, which also wipes the recipient's memories.
*** In "This Mortal Coil" (Season 4), Sheppard, [=McKay=], Ronon, Teyla, and later Dr. Weir find that they are copies of themselves created by the Asurans, and that the version of Atlantis they are in is also a copy. They come to take it remarkably well, especially [=McKay=]. Mostly because of [=McKay=]'s insight into the situation.
*** In "The Kindred" (Season 4), Carson Beckett is finally found and rescued by the team. The only problem: they witnessed him die in a crisis in Atlantis, so they weren't even looking for him. But he insists and is sure that he is the real Beckett. Turns out he is a clone with the original's memories. Ironically, it was the above Michael who created him.

** Happened in the episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" with Nurse Chapel's lost boyfriend.[[note]]In this case, the boyfriend knew all along that he's an android body containing the human's memories. What he ''doesn't'' realize until the end is that he's not "the same person", as demonstrated by his amoral and insane actions over the course of the episode.[[/note]]
** And with Rayna in "Requiem For Methuselah"
** Also happens to Kirk in "The Paradise Syndrome".

** The episode "Eye of the Beholder" plays with this trope in all sorts of ways. It turned out that telepath who had died during ''Enterprise's'' construction had left a sort of 'psychic residue' which had imposed the dead woman's memories on empathic crew members unfortunate enough to wander into its proximity (it had caused one such crewman to commit suicide). Troi at one point actually screams in horror when she doesn't recognize her own reflection.
** Averted in "Inheritance". Juliana Tainer is programmed to shut down in the event that she discovers that she's actually an android.

** "Whispers": We follow Miles O'Brien in flashback form as he seems to combat a station-wide conspiracy to sabotage peace talks amongst two alien factions; turns out the O'Brien we're watching was actually a "replicant", sent by one of the alien factions and programmed to assassinate the leaders of the other faction. The rest of the crew were acting suspiciously because they knew about the switch and were waiting for the replicant O'Brien to attempt his mission, but the replicant was so perfect that he/it [[BecomingTheMask ended up acting just as the real one would]].
** In the episode "Second Skin", Kira is kidnapped by the Cardassian Obsidian Order as part of an anti-dissident setup and told she is actually Iliana Ghemor, a spy, who was implanted with false memories so even she would believe her cover story, sent to infiltrate the Bajoran resistance. Subverted in that she is NOT Iliana Ghemor, but Iliana is a real person, who really did have false memories implanted so she could infiltrate the Bajoran resistance. It's all part of a trap to reveal that Iliana's father is part of the dissident movement as he decides to smuggle her off Cardassia when Kira refuses to believe it.

* ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'':
** Towards the end of Season 1, Starfleet lieutenant and former prisoner of war Ash Tyler discovers he's actually the Klingon Voq, surgically altered to look human and programmed with the original Ash Tyler's memories and personality.

** In "Road Kill", the MonsterOfTheWeek doesn't know she actually is dead (and thus, a spirit haunting a stretch of highway) until the end of the episode.
** The MonsterOfTheWeek in "Heart" has no memory of her transformations into a werewolf, so she doesn't truly realize what she is until Sam traps her in her apartment and she awakens to see how she's torn the place up.
** In "I Know What You Did Last Summer" Sam and Dean meet Anna, who is an escaped mental patient who has accurate visions of the impending apocalypse. She reveals she can hear the angels talk to each other as well. Under hypnosis, she remembers she's a FallenAngel.

* The ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' episode "Sleeper" has a seemingly human woman with a seemingly happy life (complete with job and husband) find out that she's actually an alien who will be "triggered" to wage a campaign of terror on Earth.
* ''Series/{{Treadstone}}''. One of the main characters is IntrepidReporter Tara Coleman. It's only in the penultimate episode that it's revealed that she is one of the [[ManchurianAgent cicadas]] whose story she is investigating.

** "After Hours": Marcia White's shopping trip to a department store goes awry, as the people she talks to seem to transform into mannequins. In the end, we find out that she ''is'' a mannequin, whose month posing as a human is up; the others were concerned because she was late getting back. Also used in the '80s remake.
** "Four O'Clock": A self-righteous man goes around telling anyone who will listen that at precisely four o'clock he will, by sheer force of will, cause every evil person on the planet Earth to shrink to two feet tall. Four o'clock rolls around and the man finds ''himself'' shrunk to a height of two feet tall, much to his chagrin. This implies that he has in fact succeeded in causing every evil person on Earth to shrink...
** "The Hitch-Hiker": A young woman who is driving across the US keeps seeing and being frightened by a strange-looking hitchhiker. Near the end of her journey, she discovers that she actually died in a car accident near the beginning of her journey and the hitchhiker is Death who wants to take her to the afterlife. At the end of the episode, she looks in the mirror and sees the hitchhiker, rather than her own reflection.

** "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" is also an example. A clown, a hobo, a dancer, a bagpiper and a major wake in a prison with smooth walls and an open top. They speculate for a long time about where they could be and at one point the major calls the place "Hell" but at the end it is revealed that they're all toys that are to be donated to the less fortunate children during the Christmas season. Their prison is a donation bin.

* In ''Series/WandaVision'', Comicbook/TheVision is one of the main characters, despite having been killed by Comicbook/{{Thanos}} at the end of ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''. How he returned to life isn't revealed for most of the series, and he seems unable to remember his life as an Avenger or ''anything'' that happened to him before he and Wanda moved to Westview. In Episode 8, the audience learns that the Vision we've been following for most of the series is actually an artificial construct Wanda created from nothing by using Chaos Magic, while the ''real'' Vision is still dead and in the custody of the [[Characters/MCUUnitedStatesGovernment S.W.O.R.D.]] organization.
