* Every main character gets this in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' after seven seasons of nonstop drama externally and internally. Mack continues to lead S.H.I.E.L.D while maintaining a stable love life with his top agent, Yo-Yo, May has finally retired and becomes a professor at the Coulson academy, [=FitzSimmons=] also retires and establishes a family with their daughter, Alya, Deke becomes the director of S.H.I.E.L.D in an alternate universe, the LMD Coulson has the chance to make the best of his life by traveling the world (thereby concluding Phil Coulson’s arc as a whole), and Daisy finally has a stable love life with the alternate Daniel Sousa and travels in space with the alternate Kora. So much for seven seasons dealing with a crazed psychopath working for a terrorist organization as TheMole, a sadistic evil scientist working for the same organization, an enraged superpowered being wanting to lash out on humanity, a lifelong-friend-turned-traitor with a personal vendetta against the heroes, another superpowered being with a questionable desire to remake the universe, you get the idea.

* ''Series/CobraKai'': The beginning of the series shows [[Characters/TheKarateKidDanielLaRusso Daniel [=LaRusso=] certainly getting this after three ''Film/TheKarateKid'' films of him constantly tormented by [[TheBully bullies]] and their {{Evil Mentor}}s. He rides off the success of his two All-Valley champ victories by establishing a successful business dedicated to his passion for cars (fully embodying the RagsToRiches trope) — and even better, establish a family of his own with a loving wife, and two children. Then, things get complicated when his old rival, Johnny, re-opens [[ThugDojo Cobra Kai]], leading to a series of events (while re-igniting his passion for karate — this time as a sensei for the new Miyagi-Do) putting him in a place where more of his old enemies (John Kreese and Terry Silver) resurface to make his, and his students' (including his children) lives a living hell. Season 5 has him sort of re-embodying the trope once again when he ''finally'' beats the holy hell out of the [[Characters/TheKarateKidTerrySilver man who]] [[ArchEnemy had the most negative impact in his life]] by fully embodying Mr. Miyagi's teachings of learning his own style of karate taught with Miyagi-Do as his root, combined with further teachings from Chozen, Johnny, and ''Silver'' himself. However, he still has the Sekai-Taikai to deal with, alongside one of his worst enemies (Kreese) out of prison.

** Johnny Lawrence, big time. Unlike Daniel, who was able to ride off the success of his All-Valley victories, Johnny's life goes on a downward spiral when he loses his purpose in life after his sensei turns on him over 2nd place. The start of the show has him an absolute wreck: a RichesToRags loner with his mindset stuck in the '80s living in a dirty apartment complex working odd jobs and doing nothing but drinking the same beer can 24/7, while he watches his rival, Daniel, live the life as the successful wealthy person he once was. He does have a son from a previous relationship, but this is strained after he abandons him out of shame and fear of being a poor father, leaving said son, Robby, under the care of his mother — who is just as neglectful as Johnny is (if doing a little bit better). Things then get worse when he is fired from his job after an unlucky encounter with a spoiled, rude customer, but then turn for the better when he saves his new neighbor, Miguel, from a group of bullies using the karate that he still had in him. This culminates in a series of events where he regains his purpose in karate, this time as the sensei for the new Cobra Kai, his a son-like figure that he is succeeding with in Miguel as his star student, and even establishing a new loving (and far more stable) relationship with Miguel's mother, Carmen. However, he goes right back to zero when Miguel is in the hospital and on death's door due to a cheap shot from Robby (his ''biological son''), Carmen wanting nothing to do with him because of what happened to Miguel, and his EvilMentor [[ArchEnemy John]] [[Characters/TheKarateKidJohnKreese Kreese]] stealing Cobra Kai from Johnny and turning it back to the ThugDojo that the latter feared. However, Season 3 up to Season 5 has Johnny recuperating from his losses — putting him in a much happier position than he was before, with Miguel fully recovered from his injuries, his relationship with Carmen resumed and taken to the next level with a baby on the way, Johnny forming his own new dojo with Eagle Fang (and even better, ending the rivalry with Daniel [=LaRusso=] by merging dojos with him, ''twice''), Johnny finally mending his relationship with Robby (and ending the latter's rivalry with Miguel in the process), and goes as far as to clean his apartment in preparation for his (and Carmen's) new child. While he still gets caught up in Daniel's campaign against Silver and still has the Sekai-Taikai and a broken-out Kreese to deal with, Season 5 shows a man who's fully recovered from the wreck that he once was at the start of the show to a man that is living with a new purpose in his life through his girlfriend, the two boys (Robby and Miguel) he considers his sons, and passing on his style of karate to the next generation.

Then her guilt-stricken mother kills Dante, [[DrivenToSuicide and then herself]]. And then she gets into a potentially career-ending scandal over a manipulated clip... and then there's her incredibly troubled pregnancy... her being the sole survivor when her plane crashes... her indoctrination into a cult and being held in against her will in UsefulNotes/{{Bolivia}} by said cult. The series ends with a pregnant Juliette living peacefully on a farm just outside Tennessee with daughter Cadence, having retired from country music, and about to reunite with her husband Avery. Well, just about ''all'' the remaining regulars get a happy ending in the SeriesFinale, but Juliette's is particularly well-earned.]]
