That is, a "theoretical" flashback?
Related to Once More, with Clarity (the "what actually happened" flashback)

Yes though I think it is Necro Cam now that looked more.
Some people are trying to solve a crime, one comes up with a theory on what might have happened and we then see a flashback of that happening. Happened in the CSI shows at least Once per Episode although I think later crime shows started doing it as well.
