* ''LawAndOrder'' brought back its [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Not-O-J-Simpson]] character when "If I did it" was news. Keep in mind the character was from many ''seasons'' ago. Two other examples:
** "Coma" featured comedian Larry Miller as a nightclub owner whose first wife died under mysterious circumstances. He was the prime suspect until a junkie came forward and confessed to the crime. The last scene of that episode was the cops viewing a videotape where the junkie was shown to have performed at the suspect's nightclub. Two years later (in an episode called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Encore"]]), Miller's character returns after his second wife is murdered. He looks like he's able to evade justice again, but this time [[spoiler:his would be ''third wife'' is revealed to have helped screw up the investigation. The cops get her to cooperate by reminding her of what happened to the suspect's first two wives]].
** The first season episode "Indifference", is based on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Steinberg Joel Steinberg]] case. In that episode, [[InspiredBy not-Steinberg]] was convicted and sent to jail. Around the time the real Steinberg was released (a decade and a half later), the episode "Fixed" had the not-Steinberg character be released from jail, only to be gunned down and become the [[AssholeVictim victim]] of the story.

** During the episode "Parasites Lost", among the many changes to himself via a beneficial worm infestation in his body, Fry gains the ability to play a holophonor (it is said that not many people in the whole universe can play it, and the few that ''could'' can't play it well), cementing his relationship with Leela. However, to find out whether or not she loves the real him, Fry drives the worms out of his body. He tries playing the holophonor again, and as expected, he lost both his talent and his seduction over Leela. The episode ends with Fry practicing on the holophonor, but this is not revisited until "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", a SeriesFauxnale centering on Fry's ability to play the holophonor.

** From NuWho, we have "Blink" from series 3, which introduced the Weeping Angels, and from series 5, "The Time of Angels" and "Flesh and Stone".



** Satellite Five reappears in the series 1 finale, after an assumed one-off encounter with the Mighty Jagrafess in "The Long Game".
** While ''Torchwood'' was a recurring ArcWord in series 2 (with the Doctor meeting a group identifying as the Torchwood Archive in "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit"), the Doctor's only direct encounters were at the founding in "Tooth and Claw" and his capture by ([[spoiler:and the subsequent slaughtering of the team of]]) Torchwood London in "Army of Ghosts".
** Series 4, 5 and 6 have a recurring string of non-consecutive River Song episodes ("Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead"; "The Time of Angels"/"Flesh and Stone", "[[spoiler:The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang"]]..., though from her point of view, they're prequel episodes.

* ''HowIMetYourMother'': First there was "Slap Bet" where Marshall won the right to slap Barney in the face five times, as hard as he can, at any moment he chooses. Next season, we got the episode "Slapsgiving", where Marshall decides to dole out one of his slaps on Thanksgiving Day and spends the whole episode putting Barney through a ParanoiaGambit. Two more years pass, and finally "Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap" arrives: it's Thanksgiving again and Marshall decides to let Ted and Robin slap Barney in his place, and, once more, Barney spends the whole episode tortured by the knowledge of what's to come.
