* ''Series/Charmed1998'': The destined Charmed Ones are a set of sister witches, and it's specifically a set of ''three'' sisters. One TimeTravel episode shows Prue and Piper as children with powers, but they're nowhere near as strong as they'd become once Phoebe was born. After Prue [[ActorLeavesCharacterDies was killed off]] the writers had to introduce a [[LongLostRelative secret fourth sister]] to restore the Power of Three.

** Henry leaves his pocket watch behind at the place of his "death" on three occasions by the end of the first season finale: in the pilot when he is killed in a subway crash, in the middle of the season when he drowns in Adam's hijacked taxi, and in the finale when [[spoiler: he is shot beneath a subway terminal]]. Jo finds the watch and returns it to him with varying degrees of suspicion on all three occasions.
** Adam kills Henry three times: [[spoiler: Once by slitting his throat to keep Jo from seeing him die]]; [[spoiler: once by trapping him in the back of a taxi which goes off the pier and sinks, drowning Henry]]; and [[spoiler: once in the abandoned subway station, shooting Henry with the flintlock that originally killed him to test the theory that it would kill him permanently.]]
