When a new character permanently joins an [[TrueCompanions ensemble cast]], it takes an astonishingly short time for her to get to the same level of rapport with the other characters as they already had with each other (and with the character she's replacing). Expect one FishOutOfWater episode, and then she'll be flirting, sharing intimate secrets, in on all the jokes.

Of course, her outsider status could be resurrected [[CompressedVice for a one-episode conflict]] later, or she could turn out to be TheMole.

** Averted in{{Stargate Atlantis}} ''{{Stargate Atlantis}}'' when Ronan Ronon was added to the cast as a replacement. 2 and a half seasons later and the majority of the main characters are still somewhat scared of him.
*** Eh, not really. It takesRonan Ronon a few episodes to become comfortable with the team and start forming deep relationships with them (a dead girlfriend and several years of being unable to stay in any one place for very long without endangering lives will do that to you.) He definitely takes a little longer to mesh with the team than most examples on this page, but they're all pretty tight fairly quickly.

* One episode after B.J. was introduced in ''[[{{MASH}} M*A*S*H]]'', he was inexplicably Hawkeye's best bud and the incoming Colonel Potter, looking over their records, berated them for how much goofing off they did together. This after B.J. had been introduced as a straight arrow in the previous episode. One has to wonder if the episode was written before Wayne Rogers left and they just crossed out "Trapper" and wrote in "B.J." without changing anything else.

* This happens in season 3 of {{NCIS}} after the character of Caitlin Todd is killed off, her replacement is Mossad Officer Ziva David, who joins the team only a couple of episodes after her half-brother (the terrorist Ari Haswari) murdered Caitlin. However, this could be seen as an aversion, since they show the other members of the team being fairly open to her, but commenting on how it is odd for their boss, Agent Gibbs, to do the same. This is explained as Ziva having saved Gibbs' life when Ari came to kill him in his basement (by shooting her half-brother), forming a bond of trust that otherwise would not have occurred nearly as fast.

** The vampire Vanrushal takes the cake though -- after you and the exorcist Luther confront and fight him in his evil mansion (after killing dozens of evil minions) he claims that he's weakened down to near-human levels and can't stay here, so he joins your army. Without your approval. Against Luther's loud protests. (Luther joins too, to keep an eye on Vanrushal.) Granted, [[LampshadeHanging as Vanrushal points out]], he was keeping to himself and it was your party that tried to kill ''him'', and he wasn't even an ''evil'' vampire -- Luther's just a (fairly benign) zealot when it comes to vampire hunting.

** to be fair, Rock did save all of their asses by devising the most [[RefugeInAudacity balls-to-the-wall insane method of killing an attack helicopter ever]], so its not as if he just showed up with a gift basket and asked if he could join.

When a new character permanently joins an [[{{Nakama}} ensemble cast]], it takes an astonishingly short time for her to get to the same level of rapport with the other characters as they already had with each other (and with [[JonasQuinn the character she's replacing]]).
