* ''WesternAnimation/BlueEyeSamurai'' has the episode "The Tale Of The Ronin And The Bride". It reveals a lot more of Mizu's past that had never been shown or hinted at before, complete with many extra layers of tragedy the audience hadn't known about. Also, in a pretty big gut punch for the audience, Mizu refuses to help Akemi, which results in Akemi being forced to return to her father and go through with her ArrangedMarriage, and Ringo is so dismayed by Mizu doing this that he decides to no longer be her apprentice and turns his back on her.

* Even ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' has a case of this: "[[Recap/BlueyGhostbasket Ghostbasket]]" revolves around a silly game the Heelers are playing wherein Bluey and Bingo are grannies named Rita and Janet trying to keep a relator (played by Chili) from selling their house with help from Bandit. In the end, they successfully "scare" Chili away, meaning "Janet" and "Rita" can keep their house...but as Chili runs away, the camera zooms out to reveal that the Heelers' house [[WhamShot has a "For Sale" sign outside of it]]. Suddenly, the Heelers' game throughout the episode is recontextualized into Bandit and Chili likely getting Bluey and Bingo used to the idea of selling houses and having to move away, because ''that may very well be what's about to happen''.

* Episode 2 of ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'' opens following the previous episode's WhamScene of Magneto being named the inheritor of Professor Xavier's estate in his will and testament, and Magneto spending the time before then actually ''saving'' humans in addition to mutants. By the end of the episode, [[spoiler:Storm has [[TakingTheBullet taken the bullet]] for Magneto, leaving her DePower[=ed=] and driving her to leave the X-Men. Magneto's sincerity in carrying on Xavier's mission for human[=/=]mutant coexistence is demonstrated, leading to Genosha officially receiving UN aid. And just before the episode ends, a second Jean Grey suddenly appears on the Xavier Mansion's doorstep, not long after the Jean Grey we had seen up to this point gave birth to Scott's son!]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' has the season two finale, "True Colors". Over the course of the episode, [[spoiler: Anne and Sasha learn that Marcy deliberately planned for them to end up in Amphibia, King Andrias formally unveils his plans to become an interdimensional conqueror, said monarch kills Marcy ([[OnlyMostlyDead as far as the main characters are aware]], anyway), and the episode ends with Anne and the Plantars on Earth, while Sasha remains in Amphibia.]] All in all, there's a good reason why the season three premiere is called "The New Normal".

to:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' has quite a few:
**A pretty big one happens in "Best Fronds",
the second episode of the show. We learn of Sasha's fate, and that there may be a potential antagonist in the future.
**"Anne vs. Wild": Anne confesses to the Plantars about the box that transported her to Amphibia, albeit without mentioning that she stole it. Hop Pop lies that he doesn't know anything about it, but is revealed to have a book that calls it a Calamity Box.
**"Toad Tax": After a month of being ridiculed by the townsfolk, Anne finally gets their respect after defending them from the tax-collecting toads, becoming an honorary member of Wartwood.
**"Bizarre Bazaar": WhamEpisode: Hop Pop buries the music box out of Anne's sight, thus not finding any answers to her request and lying to her.
--> '''Hop Pop''': Sorry, Anne, but I can't have you showing this thing around. Too dangerous for all of us. Now it's where it belongs. Where no one can find it.
**"Anne of The Year": At the end of the episode, Anne is finally reunited with Sasha, but unfortunately, she brought Grime and his army with her.
**"Fort In The Road": It's revealed that Amphibia used to have technology a long time ago, which changes everything we know about the show, [[AfterTheEnd and hints at a possible explanation for why the music box is called the Calamity Box...]]
**"Wax Museum": Anne discovers an item from her world that wasn't brought there by her, Sasha or Marcy. She also discovers that there are several more items like that, all of which are kept in Newtopia.
**"Hopping Mall": We finally learn what happened to Sprig and Polly's mom. She died when they were both young and that Sprig doesn't really remember her.
**"After the Rain": Anne finally finds out about Hop Pop hiding the music box—she's (understandably) furious and doesn't truly forgive until he tells her how he blames himself for what happened to Sprig and Polly's parents.
**"The First Temple": It turns out King Andrias is working with some kind of MechanicalAbomination, seeking "revenge" and plotting to "undo" a prophecy.

**"Olivia & Yunan": Yunan and Olivia officially defect from King Andrias, but fail to save Marcy, who ends up possessed by the Core.
**"Mother of Olms": Mother Olm says that Anne, Sasha, and Marcy should all have powers from the Calamity Box gems, but only Anne still has hers, suggesting that Sasha and Marcy will need to get their powers back if they want to save Amphibia. She believes that as long Anne retains a piece of that power, she can awaken the power in her friends.
**"The Core & The King": King Andrias' past is finally revealed... and it's not a great one.
