14	* ''Series/{{Angel}}'':

16	** Faith's return in season four may be considered this to her appearance in season 1, "[[{{Recap/AngelS01E18FiveByFive}} Five By Five]]" and "[[{{Recap/AngelS01E19Sanctuary}} Sanctuary]]".
17	** "[[{{Recap/AngelS03E19ThePrice}} The Price]]" from the third season shows the consequences to the gang's actions in "[[{{Recap/AngelS03E17Forgiving}} Forgiving]]", two episodes before.
18	* ''Series/{{The Avengers\|1960s}}'': "Return of the Cybernauts" is a sequel to "The Cybernauts", featuring the [[RememberTheNewGuy brother]] of the scientist who conceived the eponymous {{Killer Robot}}s and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard died by them]] getting his hands on one of them to target John Steed and Emma Peel for revenge. It got ''another'' sequel in ''Series/TheNewAvengers'', "The Last of the Cybernauts", this time with a crippled villain seeking revenge against Steed using yet another remnant of Cybernaut tech.
19	* ''Series/{{Bones}}''' Gravedigger: first appearance in the second season, caught in the fourth, put on trial in the fifth.
20	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
21	** In the episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E9TheWish}} The Wish]]" the vengeance demon Anyanka creates an AlternateUniverse where vampires rule Sunnydale. By the end of the episode TheVerse is returned to normal and Anyanka is left powerless. Later that season, the episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E16Doppelgangland}} Doppelgangland]]" was driven by Anyanka's attempts to regain her powers, and maybe [[RealityWarper warp reality]] back into a vampire run hellhole while she's at it.
22	** "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E15IWasMadeToLoveYou}} I Was Made To Love You]]", an episode about Warren's robot girlfriend running amok in Sunnydale, ended with Spike getting him to build another robot. The payoff came in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E18Intervention}} Intervention]]" which involved Spike's newly-built Buffy-bot on the loose in Sunnydale.
23	* The consequences from the ''Series/Charmed1998'' season 2 episode "[[Recap/CharmedS2E12Awakened Awakened]]" are explored near the end of the season in the episode "[[Recap/CharmedS2E20AstralMonkey Astral Monkey]]".
24	* ''Series/{{Community}}'': "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" from Season 2 had a follow-up "Advanced Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" in Season 5. Abed notes that sequel episodes often lead to the downfall of overly-proud creators, [[BaitAndSwitchComment which gives him the resolve to do it so he can prove his superiority to them]].
25	* ''Series/CriminalMinds'' has ''Outfoxed'', where the UNSUB is a copycat of a killer who first appeared in ''The Fox''.
26	* ''Series/{{CSI}}'':
27	** 'The Execution of Catherine Willows' and its sequel 'What's Eating Gilbert Grissom?" which aired a few seasons later. Both focus on the 'Blue Paint Killer', who was actually a pair of killers, though only in the end of the second ep was the whole setup explained.
28	** In 'The Unsual Suspect' and 'Goodbye and Good Luck' there is a storyline with a CreepyChild girl suspect.
29	** CSI likes doing this with their serial killer cases...Paul Millander's storyline was spread over at least two seasons, with months of eps between them. Only the Miniature Killer's storyline episodes were relatively close together.
30	* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'':
31	* The leader of the "Tanglewood" Boys is arrested for murder in season one. Late in season 2, he, his cronies, and Danny are all implicated in a cold case when a body is discovered buried in the end zone at Giants Stadium in NJ.
32	** The t-shirt killer, Shane Casey. His cases seemingly ends in season 3, then he escapes and starts a whole new arc in season 6.
33	** In season 5, "Suspect X" gets away in the fifth episode, "Down the Rabbit Hole" and doesn't show up again until the fifteenth, "DOA for a Day."
34	** The ex-con arsonist in the season 9 premiere was cleared of the crime he was suspected of, but turned back up in the next one committing different types of crimes, got arrested and went to jail that time.
35	* In ''Series/EnemyAtTheDoor'', the first-season episode "The Jerrybag" (in which a woman gets pregnant to a German soldier and has to decide whether to keep the baby after he's reassigned and killed in action) was followed up in the second-season episode "The Right Blood" (in which the soldier's family learns about the boy and tries to convince her to give him over to them).
36	* ''Series/FamilyMatters'':
37	** The {{Halloween Episode}}s for the final two seasons: "[[Recap/FamilyMattersS8E5Stevil Stevil]]" and "[[Recap/FamilyMattersS9E7StevilIIThisTimeHesNotAlone Stevil II: This Time, He's Not Alone]]". They detail [[DemonicDummy Steve's titular ventriloquist dummy coming to life]] and seeking to off not only his owner, but the entire household, as well, with the latter episode (hence the title) featuring an evil dummy modeled after Carl, named Carlsbad. Both episodes were AllJustADream.
38	* ''The Flash'':
39	** In ''Series/TheFlash1990'', the episodes "The Trickster" and "Trial of the Trickster" were several episodes apart but they were combined into one two-part "movie" for VHS release.
40	** In ''Series/TheFlash2014'', "King Shark" is a sequel to a minor plot in "The Fury of Firestorm", this time focusing on the titular villain, whose initial appearance lasted only about a minute.
41	* ''Series/{{Friends}}'' : "TOW the Embryos" and "TOW All the Haste" about Rachel & Monica and Joey & Chandler switching apartments. They both even start the same, with Rachel being rudely awakened in the morning.
42	* ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'' has done this a number of times. For example, there was the episode 'King For A Day', where Iolaus has to impersonate a missing king. A season or two later came 'Long Live The King', where Iolaus has to impersonate the king again.
43	%%* ''Series/TheHauntingHour'' has Season 4's "Dead Bodies", which picks up from the end of Season 1's "The Dead Body".
44	* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
45	** 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 [[ThanksgivingEpisode 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 [[ThanksgivingEpisode 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.
46	** The first season HalloweenEpisode "The Slutty Pumpkin" establishes how Ted once met a girl in a pumpkin costume at a Halloween party who he had amazing chemistry with, but lost her number and has spent every Halloween since hoping to find her again. He finally meets her for real in the seventh season episode "The Slutty Pumpkin Returns".
47	** Season 4's "Sorry, Bro" can be seen as a sequel of sorts to the previous season's "The Platinum Rule". Both episodes have almost identical framing devices, in which the gang sits at the bar telling each other four stories, all while trying to talk Ted out of making a mistake. Also, while Ted and Marshall's stories in "Sorry, Bro" are completely new, Barney and Robin explore the aftermath of their stories from "The Platinum Rule".
48	* ''Series/ICarly'':
49	** ''iThink They Kissed'', where Carly finds out that Sam and Freddie shared a FirstKiss is the SequelEpisode to ''iKiss'' where the FirstKiss occurred.
50	** "iPsycho" and "iStill Psycho" (and the ''Series/SamAndCat'' episode "#[=SuperPsycho=]").
51	* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'':
52	** "Gun Fever 2: Still Hot" (season 9) is a sequel to "Gun Fever" (season 1).
53	** "The Gang Makes Lethal Weapon 6" (season 9) is a sequel to "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth" (season 6).
54	** "The Nightman Cometh" (season 4) expands on a plot point from "Sweet Dee is Dating a Retarded Person" (season 2).
55	** The plot of "The Gang Finds a Dead Guy" (season 1) gets continued in "Pop-Pop: the Final Solution" (season 8).
56	** "The World Series Defense" (season 5) and "The Gang Gets Stranded in the Woods" (season 6) both deal with the Gang's fondness for the Philadelphia Phillies and Mac's CelebCrush on Chase Utley.
57	** "The Gang Gives Back" (season 2) is a sequel to "The Gang Goes Jihad", which precedes it by a couple of episodes.
58	* ''Series/LawAndOrder'':
59	** "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]].
60	** 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 horrifically maimed in a hit-and-run and become the [[AssholeVictim victim]] of the story.
61	* In ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', the season 2 episode "Outlaw Country" is a sequel to the season 1 episode "The Magnificent Eight", as the Legends return to the Old West and once again work with Jonah Hex.
62	* ''Series/{{Merlin\|2008}}'' has three Lancelot-centric episodes (though he appeared in a couple more) that encompass his CharacterArc: ''Lancelot'', ''Lancelot and Guinevere'' and ''Lancelot du Lac,'' making him the only character to have three episodes named after him.
63	* ''Series/MiamiVice'' has two examples, both of which open with a PreviouslyOn segment summarizing the first episode. In the fourth-season episode "Rock and a Hard Place," two scummy record executives who first appeared earlier in the season in "Like a Hurricane" come back to try to ruin Caitlin's career. Later in the season, in "Deliver Us From Evil," a murderer whom Crockett accidentally got off death row in the third-season episode "Forgive Us Our Debts" returns and kills Caitlin.
64	* ''Series/ModernFamily'''s second-season ValentinesDayEpisode, "Bixby's Back", is a sequel to the first season's "My Funky Valentine", at least as it applies to Claire and Phil.
65	* ''Series/{{Psych}}'':
66	** The series has an episode called "Extradition: Canada" and another more recent one called "Extradition: Canada 2 (The Actual Extradition Part)".
67	** The {{season finale}}s of seasons 3-5: [[SerialKiller "An Evening With Mr. Yang"]], "Mr. Yin [[ThemeSerialKiller Presents ..."]], and "Yang 3 in 2D".
68	* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': "Trial by Jury" aired in early in the second season of ''Radio/OurMissBrooks''. In that episode, Miss Brooks' car is damaged when her brakes give out and it rolls downhill and hits a [[FruitCart fruit stand]] (it was a SoundToScreenAdaptation of "Traffic Court"). "Brooks' New Car" references the incident. In this episode, Mr. Conklin's brakes give out and his vehicle hits the same fruit stand. Later in the episode, Mrs. Davis accidentally runs into the fruit stand driving downhill. The fruit stand vendor finally decides to leave town.
69	* ''Series/QuantumLeap'':
70	** The fifth-season episode "[[{{Recap/QuantumLeapS5E07DeliverUsFromEvil}} Deliver Us From Evil]]" is a sequel to the second-season episode "[[{{Recap/QuantumLeapS2E08Jimmy}} Jimmy]]": Sam leaps into Jimmy [=LaMotta=] a second time, a couple years after his first leap, and finds that the happy future he should have caused is failing to occur (thanks to an EvilCounterpart whose goal is to MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight). This episode gets its own sequel later that season when the evil leaper returns in "[[{{Recap/QuantumLeapS5E16ReturnOfTheEvilLeaper}} Return of the Evil Leaper]]".
71	** A rare cross-medium sequel episode: Issue 9 of the tie-in comic book, "Up Against a Stonewall", is a sequel to the episode "Good Night, Dear Heart".
72	* ''Series/RedDwarf'' has the Series VI episode "[[Recap/{{Red Dwarf Season VI Emohawk Polymorph II}} Emohawk: Polymorph II]]", which is a sequel to the Series III episode "[[Recap/{{Red Dwarf Season III Polymorph}} Polymorph]]". The three-part special "[[Recap/{{Red Dwarf Back To Earth}} Back to Earth]]" also acts as a sequel to the Series V episode "[[Recap/{{Red Dwarf Season V Back To Reality}} Back To Reality]]".
73	* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': Some of the episodes are titled "His/Her/Their Story" (the usual episodes are titled as [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming "My ___"]]) with [[NumberedSequels Roman Numerals used to indicate which part it is]]. These episodes focus on [[LowerDeckEpisode characters other]] than JD.
74	* ''Series/StargateSG1'':
75	** [[Recap/StargateSG1S2E6ThorsChariot Thor's Chariot]] is a sequel to [[Recap/StargateSG1S1E9ThorsHammer Thor's Hammer]] showing the fallout to SG-1's actions in the earlier episode.
76	** SG-1 also has what amounts to a ''{{prequel}}'' episode: [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E162010 "2010"]] is set entirely in a BadFuture, with the [[FutureLoser future versions]] of SG-1 working to send back a warning. The episode ends when they succeed, then a season later in "2001" the events referenced as history in 2010 start happening and they have to decipher the NoteToSelf to avert it.
77	* ''Franchise/StarTrek'' features several of these, spanning multiple series:
78	** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' had an unusual example in the two-part episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E11TheMenageriePartI The Menagerie]]", related to the show's lengthy development period. The first pilot, "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage The Cage]]" was rejected by executives, who liked the concept but disliked the characters. The eventual series was substantially recast. "The Menagerie" re-used most of "The Cage" as flashbacks to a mission which Spock had taken part in with an earlier ''Enterprise'' crew, with the rest of the story depicting the main-series cast dealing with the subsequent consequences of those events. Hence "The Menagerie" was a Sequel Episode to an episode which, at the time, had never been broadcast.
79	** The ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]]'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E2TheNakedNow The Naked Now]]", for instance, was a sequel to the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries TOS]]'' episode "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E4TheNakedTime}} The Naked Time]]". [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E11ShipInABottle "Ship in a Bottle"]] from Season 6 is a sequel to [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS2E3ElementaryDearData "Elementary, Dear Data"]], with the Professor Moriarty hologram returning and demanding Picard fulfill the promise made to him in the earlier episode.
80	** ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]]'' delighted in doing this to TOS, with "[[{{Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E06TrialsAndTribbleations}} Trials and Tribble-ations]]" as a sequel to the iconic "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles}} The Trouble with Tribbles]]", and a whole series of sequels exploring the mirror universe introduced in TOS' "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror}} Mirror, Mirror]]".
81	** ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' could be seen as a feature-length sequel to "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed}} Space Seed]]".
82	** ''[[Series/StarTrekVoyager Voyager]]'': ''[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS5E17CourseOblivion Course: Oblivion]]'' is a sequel episode to ''[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS4E22Demon Demon]]''.
83	%%* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'':
84	%%** The series has "Hell House" in season 1 and its sequel "Ghostfacers" in season 3.
85	%%** "{{LARP}} [[Film/LarsAndTheRealGirl and the Real Girl]]" and "Pac Man Fever", are sequels to "[[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy The Girl With The]] TableTopGame/DungeonsAndDragons [[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Tattoo]], in which [[EnsembleDarkhorse Charlie]] first appeared.
86	* ''Franchise/UltraSeries'':
87	** ''Series/UltraQ'' did two episodes in which a MonsterOfTheWeek returns with a vengeance. They featured [[AnIcePerson Peguila]] and [[HumongousMecha Garamon]] respectively, with the latter's return episode revealing the alien invaders who had originally sent the first Garamon to attack Earth.
88	** The sixteenth episode of ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' was one for its second episode, as the Baltans turn out to have survived Ultraman's destruction of their spaceship and they seek revenge.
89	** In ''Series/UltramanTiga'', the episode "Requiem to Darkness", in which Horii's friend Ryosuke transforms himself into the monster Evolu using alien cells, got a sequel towards the end of the show called "Goodbye to Darkness", where an escaped lab monkey mutated by the same cells into a new creature called Metamorga (naming pattern, anyone?) appears, while also grappling with some of the leftover issues from the previous episode, notably Ryunosuke's girlfriend Sayaka and her feelings for Horii.
90	** ''Series/UltramanDyna'' did a sequel to the above-mentioned Tiga episodes called "The Light and Shadow of Youth", which also served as a sequel to a ''Dyna'' episode called "Battle! Monster Island!" (which had a mad scientist and his mutant monster Neosaurus), as the mad scientist's apprentice perfects the alien cells to create super-soldier clones and eventually turn himself into the monster Zomborg. ''Dyna'' also did a sequel to the ''Tiga'' episode "The Phantom Dash" called " "The Phantom Dream Bird", in which a legendary bird-woman of ill omen named Kokakuchu warns Mayumi that "the tragedy will happen again", referencing her boyfriend's death at the hands of the monster Gazote in ''Tiga''. Kokakuchu soon appears at the power plant Gazote attacked, and the brother of Mayumi's late boyfriend is there as well...
91	** ''Series/UltramanMax'' did one to ''Series/UltraSeven'''s "The Targeted Town" called "The Untargeted Town", in which the alien Metron turns out to have survived his encounter with Seven and has restarted his HatePlague schemes with cellphone signals instead of cigarettes. The episodes even have the same director! There was also "A Different World", which serves as a sequel to the MultiPartEpisode that had Red King and Pygmon/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Pigmon]] and the episode "A Bright World", as the alien Shama returns from the latter episode to destroy DASH and Ultraman Max with a device that summons a new Red King from a parallel universe where it was never destroyed, but accidentally brings in Pygmon too.
92	** ''Series/UltramanMebius''' "The Monster Master's Legacy" follows up an episode of ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'' called "The Boy and the Monster Master" by featuring the son of the benevolent alien Mates (murdered in an incident of FantasticRacism) coming to Earth to avenge his father's death.
93	** ''Series/UltramanOrb'''s "The Girl with the Blue Ribbon" sees the SSP and Gai discover that their one-off alien foe Maddock from "A Heart That Won't Flee" has somehow reincarnated himself in the body of an amnesiac teenage girl and has also resurrected his monster Hyper Zetton Deathscythe.
94	** The original 1966 ''Series/UltraQ'' had the episode "Challenge from the Year 2020", featuring a time-traveling alien from the then-future. When the actual year 2020 rolled around 54 years later, ''Series/UltramanZ'' homaged it with "Rechallenge from the Year 2020", where another member of the same race starts abducting people as the original did.
95	* ''Series/TheWonderYears'': The fifth season premiered with "The Lake", where Kevin meets a girl named Cara while on vacation at the lake. The season ended with "Back to the Lake", where Kevin returns to the location specifically to reunite with Cara.
96	* ''Series/TheXFiles'':
97	** A first season episode "[[Recap/TheXFilesS01E21Tooms Tooms]]" was a sequel to an episode earlier in the season, "[[Recap/TheXFilesS01E03Squeeze Squeeze]]", one of the few they did like that. In the first ep they caught the MonsterOfTheWeek and in the later ep he was released from psychiatric ward. It's pretty damn hard to prosecute a supernatural crime...
98	** The episode "[[Recap/TheXFilesS02E13Irresistible Irresistible]]" had the sequel "[[Recap/TheXFilesS07E07Orison Orison]]". They featured a creepy serial killer obsessed with dead women and Agent Scully. In "Orison", he escapes from prison and tries to find Scully.
99	** "[[Recap/TheXFilesS03E17Pusher Pusher]]" had the sequel "[[Recap/TheXFilesS05E08Kitsunegari Kitsunegari]]". "Pusher" is considered a brilliant episode with a great antagonist for Mulder. "Kitsunegari" is disappointing as he inexplicably became helpful and his previously-not-mentioned twin sister has the same paranormal abilities (which he gained because of his untreated brain tumour).
