* ''[[Series/TheWalkingDead2010 The Walking Dead]]'':
** Season 9's penultimate episode, "The Calm Before", depicts the horrific pike massacre committed by Alpha. However, there's still one episode to go, "The Storm", which is a much more lowkey episode showing the survivors coping with the long-term fallout of the massacre. It does have some big plot developments like the Kingdom becoming uninhabitable and Negan making major efforts towards a HeelFaceTurn, but the Whisperers don't even menace the survivors in the episode and it's more something of a grief episode to reflect on what's happened.
** Season 10 was originally going to avert this before real life changed plans. It was going to end with the climactic "A Certain Doom" which functioned as a pretty conventional season finale. However, then the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic struck, shuttering post-production on the episode and by extension the next season, and the episode was forced into an indefinite delay. As 2020 progressed and it became evident that the pandemic was still a ways off from ending and production on the show could not resume as it did before, things changed. A six-episode extension of Season 10 was ordered that were mostly [[BottleEpisode small-scale stories focusing on a meager handful of characters]] to tide fans over, since the production delays meant Season 11 (which was intended to introduce a massive community which would not be logistically possible given the highly transmissible virus afoot) would not come until a year after "A Certain Doom" finally aired. The six-episode extension became a Denouement Arc, as they don't really move the story forward and instead focus on the aftermath of the Whisperer War while planting a few seeds for what was coming in Season 11.

A Denouement Episode is when the final episode or entry in a work isn't the actual conclusion of a story arc; that was handled in the episode just before this one. Rather, it is a {{denouement}}; an epilogue that follows the excitement of the main story's end with a tale that is much calmer in terms of action (but incredibly emotional to compensate), and covers any lingering questions and plot points that may still need to be answered. If this is in the context of a SeasonFinale instead of a GrandFinale, then this may also be where you get your SequelHook for the next season.
