00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most well-executed and
00:09unexpected plot twists in TV history. Major spoilers to come, of course.
00:22Number 50. Where Buffy Went. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. At the finale of season 5,
00:28Buffy sacrificed her life to save her sister Dawn, as well as the world.
00:34Dawn, listen to me. Listen. I love you.
00:39It was in fact meant to be Buffy's final death and the end of the show proper. But of course,
00:44showrunner Joss Whedon was obliged to bring her back due to popular demand.
00:48When Willow magically brings Buffy back to life for season 6, however,
00:52Buffy is strangely off and even resentful.
00:54You take me to Hellsville in her place.
00:56What if I kill you?
00:59Trust me. Won't help.
01:02That's gloomy.
01:04That's life.
01:05It turns out that her friends had torn her not from the fires of Hell, but from the peace of Heaven.
01:10Damn.
01:10Till they pulled me out of Heaven.
01:19So that's my refrain.
01:23I live in Hell, cause I've been expelled from Heaven.
01:30Number 49. What Loach Wants.
01:32Barry.
01:32In this black comedy, Barry Berkman is a U.S. Marine turned hitman turned actor,
01:37struggling to leave his violent past behind.
01:40In this season 2 episode, he confesses to murdering Detective Janice Moss to his old family friend Fuchs.
01:46Little does he know, however, that his confession is caught on tape.
01:49Hey, Barry.
01:50Hey, Fuchs, why don't you give us a moment?
01:55That's right.
01:56Fuchs had agreed to wear a wire for Detective Loach, the man investigating Barry.
02:01Loach now knows Barry's crime.
02:03Except he doesn't arrest Barry.
02:05Instead, he hires him.
02:07You thought of everything.
02:08You thought of everything.
02:09So there's nothing left to do.
02:11It's time.
02:11It's time has come.
02:12It's all worked out.
02:13It's all worked out.
02:14So, yeah.
02:16You went over it and over it.
02:17Loach tells Barry to kill his ex-wife's new boyfriend.
02:20Or else he blabs about Barry's crime.
02:22Talk about an unexpected twist.
02:24You came into him.
02:26All of this goes away.
02:31What?
02:32Number 48.
02:33Who died on the bus?
02:35House.
02:35When Dr. Gregory House realizes he has no memory of the last four hours,
02:39he realizes he's been in a bus accident and received a concussion.
02:43All House knows is that someone he knew was with him on that bus.
02:47Fisostigmine.
02:48Are you crazy?
02:50Alzheimer drugs will make your brain go into overdrive.
02:52That's the point.
02:54Speed up my neuronal firing.
02:56Turn up the voltage on my memory.
02:58And blow out your heart.
02:59Trying to piece it all together,
03:00House overdoses and hallucinates being back on the bus again,
03:03where he meets a mysterious woman who introduces herself only as the answer.
03:08What's my necklace made of?
03:09When she asks him,
03:18what is my necklace made out of?
03:20House comes to a horrifying realization.
03:22The necklace is made of Amber.
03:24Amber Vallakis,
03:25Wilson's girlfriend,
03:26was the one with him on the bus and who was injured in the crash.
03:29How devastating.
03:30Does Amber have a birthmark on her right shoulder blade?
03:32She was on the bus with me.
03:45She's the one who's dying.
03:47Number 47.
03:48Will's Death.
03:49The Good Wife.
03:49This critically acclaimed show shocked viewers with this unexpected death.
03:53Alicia and her old school friend Will Gardner have long struggled with their feelings for each other.
03:58She and Will eventually have an affair in the finale of season 2 before breaking up in season 3.
04:03Alicia even manages to separate from her husband.
04:11So it was devastating when, in season 5,
04:18one of Will's clients steals a gun from a guard,
04:21shooting and killing Will.
04:22Will is dead.
04:24In grief,
04:25Alicia listens to the very last voicemail Will left her,
04:28the only thing she has left of him.
04:30We're not crying.
04:31We just have something in our eye.
04:33Alicia.
04:36Mr. Gardner,
04:37you're just about ready here.
04:38Hold on, Your Honor.
04:39I'll call you back.
04:40Number 46.
04:42The Real Driver.
04:43Dead to Me.
04:44In this dark comedy,
04:45Jen Harding and Judy Hale are two grieving women
04:47who meet in therapy and become close friends.
04:50Jen's husband Ted died in a hit and run,
04:52and Judy is mourning the death of her jerk ex-fiancee Steve.
04:55I punched him in the face.
04:58Well, I'm sure he said something that made you...
05:00Oh God, Judy, please stop.
05:02Stop trying to make me feel better all the time.
05:05I'm just saying I'm sure there was a good...
05:07No, it is my fault that he's dead.
05:09In this emotional season 1 episode,
05:11Jen confesses that she and Ted had had an argument before the accident
05:15and that she blames herself for his death.
05:17Judy's secret, however, is no less than jaw-dropping.
05:20It turns out she was the driver who hit and killed Ted.
05:24What are the odds?
05:25I hit him.
05:26No, I hit him.
05:28No, I hit him.
05:29I hit him.
05:30I hit him.
05:31Judy.
05:31I hit him.
05:32I hit him.
05:33I hit him.
05:33I hit a 66 Mustang.
05:35And in the next episode,
05:37Jen kills Steve in self-defense.
05:39That's one way to even things out, we suppose.
05:41It's a good day for moving along.
05:45Yes, it's a good day.
05:47How could anything be wrong?
05:50Number 45.
05:51Building the Death Star, Andor.
05:53This Star Wars spinoff has garnered praise
05:55for its excellent writing and handling of mature themes,
05:58following the story of thief-turned-revolutionary Cassian Andor.
06:01He and others become inmates in the Narkina Five Island prison,
06:05tortured and forced to build a mysterious machine.
06:17Finally, at the end of season one,
06:19it's revealed in a post-credits scene
06:21that the machine they were building was, in fact, the Death Star.
06:24It's a brilliant twist,
06:26not the least because it is an accurate depiction
06:28of the way fascist regimes operate.
06:31Cassian eventually learns about the weapon in season two,
06:40but our knowledge of the original trilogy
06:42shall forever be changed.
06:44They're building a weapon, a super weapon,
06:46everything we've been chasing, that's the answer.
06:49Okay.
06:49Number 44.
06:51Marion's Survival, Bates Motel.
06:53This series made for a nail-biting prequel
06:56to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho,
06:57following the troubled Norman Bates
06:59and his emotionally unhealthy relationship
07:01with his mother, Norma.
07:02There's one thing that stops you from feeling it.
07:06It's what I've always done for you.
07:08It's what you wanted to do to your father.
07:10Eventually, the series catches up
07:11to that iconic shower scene
07:13when Marion Crane, played by Rihanna,
07:15checks into the Bates Motel.
07:17We are on tenterhooks
07:18as Marion eats dinner with Norman
07:19and goes to her room,
07:21not knowing she is being closely watched.
07:23At last, the shower scene comes
07:25and nothing happens.
07:35Instead, Norman successfully fights
07:37his murderous instincts
07:38and kills Marion's married boyfriend
07:40in the shower instead.
07:41Talk about a bait and switch.
07:43Oh, mother, what have I done?
07:47Number 43.
07:49Jason and Polly, Riverdale.
07:50This series never wears us out
07:53with its wild storylines.
07:55Polly is Betty's older sister
07:56and she and Jason Blossom
07:57get into a relationship.
07:59But when Jason gets killed,
08:01Polly gets sent to a group home
08:02where she gives birth
08:03to her children with him.
08:05Jason's twin sister Cheryl
08:06resurrects the lovers in season five.
08:08So far, so Riverdale.
08:10But of course,
08:19Jason and Polly are actually third cousins,
08:21with Polly's family actually being Blossoms
08:23before they changed their names.
08:25Hal's grandfather wasn't just
08:26your grandpappy's murder victim.
08:29They were brothers,
08:31which made him a Blossom.
08:33Hence why Polly's family
08:34objected strenuously to the match.
08:37Star-crossed lovers indeed.
08:38Sorry I relate, Cheryl.
08:40Oh, on the contrary, dearest sister,
08:43you are right on time.
08:46Welcome home, Blossoms.
08:49Number 42.
08:50Ziggy's Dad, Big Little Lies.
08:53Based on the book of the same name
08:54by Leanne Moriarty,
08:55the series follows several women,
08:57including three mothers,
08:58Jane, Madeline, and Celeste,
09:00who all become friends.
09:01Jane was assaulted,
09:03resulting in her son Ziggy.
09:04Meanwhile, Celeste must deal
09:06with an abusive banker husband in Perry.
09:12You just got the wind knocked at you.
09:14When Jane confesses
09:16that the name of her assaulter
09:17was Saxon Banks,
09:18Celeste recognizes the name
09:20as her husband's cousin.
09:21This was a pseudonym, of course.
09:24In the last episode of season one,
09:26after Trivia Night,
09:27Jane recognizes Perry as her assaulter.
09:29They try to fight him off
09:43until Bonnie comes in
09:44and accidentally kills Perry.
09:46What a wicked twist.
09:55Number 41.

09:57This series follows a married couple,
09:59Marty and Wendy Bird,
10:01who launder money
10:02for a Mexican drug cartel
10:03and find themselves dealing
10:04with local criminals in Missouri.
10:06You want to get out in front of it?
10:07We tell Navarro
10:08the sacrifice that we made for him.
10:11We make sure that
10:11she doesn't poison our loyalty with him.
10:13In season three,
10:15the attorney for the Navarro cartel,
10:17Helen,
10:17began to frame Marty
10:18as an FBI informant
10:19so that she could take over
10:20the Bird's business.
10:21I would like to take control
10:23of all the Bird and Prize affairs,
10:25just in case
10:26their involvement
10:27continues to prove erratic.
10:29So when the Navarro cartel
10:31demanded the Birds
10:31and Helen go to Mexico
10:32to attend a baptism,
10:34we all expected Marty
10:35to get the axe.
10:36Instead,
10:37the Navarros kill Helen,
10:38preferring to strengthen
10:40their alliance with the Birds.
10:41Incredible.
10:42Today is our beginning.

11:29It turns out, however,
11:31that Carl is Laenor's lover
11:32and Laenor has faked his death.
11:35There are places
11:36across the Narrow Sea
11:37where it doesn't matter
11:40what a man's name is.

11:45They elope together
11:46at the end of the episode,
11:47leaving Rhaenyra free to marry

12:26go up and look around.
12:28I had you going, didn't I?
12:30In the finale,
12:31we learn that Ellie
12:32is immune to the zombie virus
12:34and her DNA could be a way
12:36to make a vaccine
12:36that could cure the infection.
12:38To do so, though,
12:39the Fireflies plan
12:40to surgically remove
12:41Ellie's brain
12:42where the infection resides,
12:44inevitably killing her.
12:45How did you get in here?

12:51to care for Ellie
12:52as if she were his own,
12:53decides to do the worst
12:54to save her.
12:56Wow.
12:56The doctors,

19:41What a reveal.
19:56Number 32.
19:58Howard's Death
19:58Better Call Saul
20:00This prequel series
20:01to Breaking Bad
20:02ups the ante
20:03in terms of twists,
20:04following con artist
20:05and lawyer Jimmy McGill,
20:07eventually becoming
20:07Saul Goodman.
20:09Jimmy's nemesis
20:09is Howard Hamlin,
20:10the head of an
20:11Albuquerque law firm.
20:12Your brother and I,
20:14we always had a meeting
20:15with Mr. McCallan
20:16after a big victory.
20:18Usually some
20:19brilliant summation
20:20by chocolate,
20:21that goes without saying.
20:23So this,
20:25this is for you.
20:27You earned it.
20:28In this season 6 episode,
20:30Jimmy and fellow lawyer
20:31and love interest Kim
20:32scheme to discredit Howard.
20:34Meanwhile,
20:35Lalo Salamanca,
20:36head of the New Mexico
20:37drug cartel,
20:38plans to attack
20:39Gus Fring.
20:49When Howard confronts
20:51Jimmy and Kim
20:51at their apartment
20:52about their sabotage,
20:53however,
20:54Lalo subsequently arrives.
20:56Lalo kills Howard
20:57with a shot to his head.
20:58Yikes!
21:05It's stuck.
21:06Number 31.
21:08Henry's departure.
21:09MASH.
21:10Now this was just cruel.
21:12In season 3
21:13of this famous series,
21:14Lieutenant Colonel
21:15Henry Blake
21:15has received
21:16an honorable discharge
21:17and is planning
21:18to return home
21:19to Illinois.
21:20Blake says his goodbyes,
21:21even receiving
21:22a formal salute
21:23and boards
21:23the helicopter.
21:25Behave yourself
21:26or I'm going to come back
21:26and kick your butt.
21:36Later on,
21:37it's revealed
21:37that the aircraft
21:38carrying Henry
21:39has been shot down
21:40by enemy forces
21:41with no survivors.
21:42Henry Blake's plane
21:43was shot down
21:47over the sea of Japan.
21:52It spun in.
21:57There were no survivors.
21:59It was one of the few times
22:01in American television
22:02where a character
22:02in a comedy
22:03was written off
22:04in such a tragic way
22:05and the show
22:06got much backlash for it.
22:08But then again,
22:08MASH always understood
22:10that comedy and tragedy
22:11are two sides
22:12of the same coin.
22:17Number 30
22:24Bob Hartley's dream
22:26Newhart
22:27Even if you've never
22:28seen Newhart,
22:29you probably know
22:30about this twist ending.
22:31Protagonist Dick Loudon
22:32expresses frustration
22:33with his eccentric
22:34fellow characters
22:35and gets hit
22:36by a golf ball.
22:39Then we see him
22:44wake up.
22:45Or rather,
22:46we see Bob Hartley,
22:47Bob Newhart's
22:48previous character
22:48from the Bob Newhart
22:49show wake up.
22:51His wife Emily,
22:52played by Suzanne Plachette,
22:53also makes a cameo.
22:54Bob describes
22:55the events of the show
22:56as a strange dream.
22:58What is it?
23:00I was an innkeeper
23:01in this crazy little town
23:04in Vermont.
23:05The end credits
23:06even use the
23:07Bob Newhart show theme.
23:09There have been
23:09a lot of
23:10it was all a dream endings,
23:11but Newhart's finale
23:12is especially memorable
23:14for how tongue-in-cheek
23:15it is.
23:15You really should wear
23:16more sweaters.
23:19Number 29.
23:20Who Killed Lila?
23:21How to Get Away
23:22with Murder.
23:23There are several
23:24surprising murders
23:24during the inaugural season
23:26of this legal thriller,
23:27but the one that started
23:28it all was that
23:29of Lila Stanford.
23:30For most of the season,
23:32the characters
23:33and the audience
23:33are convinced
23:34the killer was Sam,
23:36husband of protagonist
23:37Annalise Keating,
23:38since he was cheating
23:39on her with Lila.
23:41Lila.
23:42I'm telling Annalise.
23:46And they were right,
23:47sort of.
23:47Rather than kill Lila himself
23:49when she expresses
23:50a desire to reveal
23:51her pregnancy,
23:52Sam instead tasks
23:53Annalise's investigator
23:54Frank Delfino
23:55to do the deed.
23:57You owe me.
23:59So how do you
24:00get away with murder?
24:01You get someone else
24:02to do it for you.
24:04Sam killed Lila.
24:06Number 28.
24:07John Doe,
24:08Grey's Anatomy.
24:10This long-running
24:10medical drama
24:11has had plenty
24:12of twists and turns
24:13during its time.
24:14One of the most surprising
24:15comes in the season 5 finale.
24:18Surgical resident
24:18George O'Malley
24:19has had his last day
24:20at the hospital
24:21before departing
24:22to join the army.
24:23I joined the army
24:23to be a trauma surgeon.
24:24I report for duty tomorrow.
24:26Meanwhile,
24:26a bus crashes into a man
24:28after he pushes
24:29someone out of the way,
24:30leaving the victim
24:31unrecognizable
24:32and unable to speak.
24:34Unidentified male
24:34dragged by a bus.
24:35He's clamped down
24:36so he couldn't innovate.
24:37Didn't they stop
24:37when they hit him?
24:38The bus driver
24:38didn't know he was there
24:39until he got
24:39halfway down the block.
24:40While the doctors
24:41all debate
24:42whether they could
24:42be that selfless,
24:44Meredith is shocked
24:45to discover
24:45that the unidentified man
24:47is actually George.
24:48Oh, God!
24:50The surprising reveal
24:51only makes his death
24:52soon afterwards
24:53even more tragic.
24:55Number 27.
24:56Lorca's True Identity.
24:57Star Trek Discovery.
24:59Star Trek doesn't often
25:00do serialized storytelling,
25:02but when it does,
25:03it can lead
25:03to some fantastic twists.
25:05When the titular Discovery
25:07is trapped
25:07in the Mirror Universe,
25:08Captain Gabriel Lorca
25:10and Michael Burnham
25:11infiltrate the Empress' ship
25:12by pretending
25:13to be their mirror counterparts.
25:15Captain Burnham.
25:17A face I thought
25:18I'd never see again
25:19in the flesh.
25:21However,
25:21after revealing
25:22her identity
25:23to Empress Georgiou,
25:24Michael realizes
25:25that much like her captain,
25:27residents of the Mirror Universe
25:28have sensitivity to light.
25:30You're sensitive to light.
25:36All the clues add up
25:37and she realizes
25:39that Lorca
25:39isn't from her own universe,
25:41but rather the mirror one.
25:43It's a great twist
25:44because the clues
25:44were all there,
25:45but we needed this moment
25:47to make sense of them.
25:48My so-called captain's
25:49not from my universe.
25:51He's from yours.
25:53Number 26.
25:54Wanda All Along.
25:55WandaVision.
25:56Look,
25:57we love the reveal
25:58that Agatha Harkness
25:59is manipulating things
26:00and the accompanying song
26:01as much as the next folks.
26:03It's been Agatha
26:03all along.
26:06And I killed Sparky too.
26:08But at the end of the day,
26:10she just took advantage
26:11of the situation.
26:12She didn't create it.
26:14It's even more surprising
26:15when during a flashback episode,
26:17we learn that the hex
26:18that trapped
26:18the town of Westview
26:19and all its residents
26:21was created
26:21by protagonist
26:22Wanda Maximoff.
26:26It's quite a shock
26:29to find out
26:30that our heroine
26:30is in fact the villain
26:32responsible for keeping
26:33all these people prisoner
26:34in her TV fantasy.
26:36Sure,
26:36there were hints,
26:37but we all figured
26:38she was being manipulated
26:39by some outside force.
26:41Wanda.
26:44Welcome home.
26:45Number 25.
26:46Dr. Manhattan.
26:48Watchmen.
26:49While this series
26:49and the comic it's based on
26:51do have superheroes in them,
26:52the only true
26:53super-powered individual
26:54in the franchise
26:55is largely absent
26:56from most of the show.
26:58Or so we're led to believe.
27:00During this episode,
27:01Lady True reveals
27:02that Dr. Manhattan,
27:03the nuclear-powered,
27:04temporally-aware superhuman,
27:06has disguised himself
27:07as a man
27:08in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
27:10Where is he?
27:12Right here in Tulsa.
27:15Pretending to be human.
27:16Angela Abar
27:17isn't surprised
27:18by this revelation.
27:20But the audience
27:20certainly is.
27:21when she goes home
27:22and takes a hammer
27:23to her husband Cal's forehead.
27:25My name is not John.
27:28I am so sorry.
27:29The object she pulls
27:30out of his head
27:31and the resulting blue glow
27:33had everyone's jaws
27:34on the floor.
27:39Hey, baby.
27:40In addition to being
27:46one of the most
27:47underrated sci-fi shows
27:48ever made,
27:49Fringe has some
27:50awesome twists.
27:52The season one finale
27:53sees antagonist
27:54David Robert Jones,
27:55not David Bowie's
27:56real name,
27:57different guy,
27:57try to open a door
27:58to an alternate universe.
28:00And indeed,
28:06the discovery
28:07that Olivia
28:07crosses over
28:08into a parallel
28:09Twin Towers
28:10is a huge twist.
28:12But when we discover
28:13that the grave
28:14Walter Bishop
28:14has been visiting
28:15is that of his
28:16seemingly alive son Peter,
28:18well,
28:18that completely
28:19blew our minds.
28:20There's more than
28:21one of everything
28:22and everyone.
28:23I think our little boy
28:25is growing up.
28:26Number 23.
28:27Chuck's Back
28:28Supernatural
28:29After the Prophet
28:30Chuck Shirley
28:31disappeared into
28:32thin air,
28:33fans had plenty
28:34of theories.
28:35There were forum
28:36threads galore.
28:37Nothing ever really
28:38ends,
28:39does it?
28:40It wasn't until
28:41six seasons later
28:42that we finally
28:42got an answer.
28:44The Prophet of God
28:45slash writer
28:45of the in-universe
28:46Supernatural books
28:47finally reappears
28:48when ex-angel
28:49Metatron suddenly
28:50finds himself
28:51in a bar with the man.
28:52Carver, Edlin?
28:54What the hell
28:55is going on here?
28:56What is this place?
28:57After some debate
28:58about the merits,
28:59or lack thereof,
29:00of Chuck's writing,
29:01Chuck gives
29:02Metatron some shades
29:03and turns on
29:04the divine light,
29:05revealing that
29:05he's actually
29:06God.
29:09God.
29:09And sure,
29:10some people called it
29:11in those aforementioned
29:12forum threads,
29:13but that didn't stop
29:14most of us
29:14from reacting
29:15just like Sam and Dean
29:16when they found out.
29:18We should probably talk.
29:20Number 22.
29:21The Assassin
29:22Sherlock
29:23The eponymous
29:24world-famous
29:25detective is rarely wrong,
29:26but on one occasion,
29:28a mistake
29:28nearly costs him
29:30his life.
29:31After confronting
29:31Charles Augustus Magnuson,
29:33a notorious blackmailer,
29:35Sherlock discovers
29:35that he's already
29:36being held
29:37at gunpoint.
29:38He recognizes
29:39the perfume
29:40of the gunwoman
29:40and assumes
29:41it's Lady Smallwood.
29:42Additionally,
29:43if you're going
29:43to commit murder,
29:44you might consider
29:45changing your perfume,
29:47Lady Smallwood.
29:48However,
29:49it turns out
29:50to be Dr. Watson's
29:51very pregnant wife,
29:52Mary.
29:53She even shoots
29:54and nearly kills him.
29:55I'm sorry,
29:56Sherlock.
29:58I truly am.
29:59If Sherlock Holmes
30:00didn't see it coming,
30:01you can be sure
30:02that we did not
30:03expect this reveal either.
30:04Thankfully,
30:05Sherlock survives
30:06and manages to get
30:07his best friend's wife
30:07to be honest with him.
30:10Sort it out,
30:11but do it quickly.
30:14Number 21.
30:15Who snitched for Logan?
30:16Succession
30:17The three Roy siblings
30:18can rarely agree
30:19on anything,
30:20but the season 3 finale
30:22sees the trio
30:22finally coming together
30:24to outvote
30:24their overbearing
30:25father Logan
30:26in a proposed
30:27company buyout.
30:28You need our vote
30:29for a change of control.
30:30Yeah.
30:31You need all of us.
30:32However,
30:33in a last-second reversal,
30:35Logan reveals
30:35that his amended
30:36divorce terms
30:37nullify their votes,
30:38foiling their plans
30:39and allowing him
30:40to retain his share.
30:42You should have trusted me.
30:44In the episode's
30:44final moments,
30:45Logan jovially greets
30:47Shiv's brow-beaten
30:48husband, Tom.
30:49Shiv suddenly realizes
30:50that the man
30:51she has been
30:51so dismissive of
30:52has betrayed
30:53their plans
30:54to her father.
30:55There are few depths
30:56the characters
30:56in Succession
30:57won't sink to,
30:58yet this betrayal
30:59still caught us
31:00off guard.
31:03Yeah, uh...
31:05Okay.
31:06Number 20.
31:07The Bent Neck Lady
31:08The Haunting of Hill House
31:10Who knew
31:11a simple haunted house story
31:12would contain
31:13one of the greatest
31:13plot twists
31:14of the 2010s?
31:15I usually start to panic
31:16and my breath
31:17gets fast
31:18and heavy.
31:19My heart feels
31:20like it's pounding
31:20out of my chest.
31:21This acclaimed
31:22Netflix series
31:23had little to do
31:23with its source material,
31:24so each story development
31:26was exciting
31:26and unpredictable,
31:27including
31:28The Bent Neck Lady.
31:29Young Nell
31:30is tormented
31:30by a shadow ghost
31:31who appears
31:32to have suffered
31:32a broken neck,
31:33hence its creepy name.
31:35Nellie.
31:39In the present,
31:40a mentally broken Nell
31:41visits Hill House
31:42and inadvertently
31:43hangs herself
31:44during an idyllic vision.
31:46Huh?
31:47It's okay, honey.
31:56As she falls,
31:57she travels through time
31:59and discovers
31:59the horrifying truth.
32:01She is the Bent Neck Lady
32:02and she's been
32:03tormenting herself
32:04for decades.
32:06Nell's subplot
32:07is easily the most
32:08depressing
32:08and horrifying
32:09of them all.
32:10Number 19.
32:11Violet,
32:12American Horror Story,
32:13Murder House.
32:15Several years
32:15before The Haunting
32:16of Hill House
32:17and The Bent Neck Lady,
32:18American Horror Story
32:19pulled a similar trick
32:20with its protagonist,
32:21Violet.
32:21In the sixth episode,
32:23titled Piggy Piggy,
32:24Violet attempts
32:25to take her own life
32:26by swallowing
32:26a handful of sleeping pills.
32:28Don't you die on me, Violet?
32:30No.
32:31Don't you die?
32:32However,
32:33Tate prevents her
32:34from dying
32:34by forcing her
32:35to throw up.
32:36Please,
32:36God help me!
32:37You're going to kill me!
32:38Help!
32:39Violet!
32:40No!
32:41Help!
32:42Four episodes later,
32:43Violet is prevented
32:44from leaving the house,
32:45almost as if her spirit
32:47is trapped within it.
32:48It's then that Tate
32:49reveals the truth
32:49by showing Violet
32:50her own rotting corpse.
32:52I died when I took
32:54all those pills.
32:56I tried to save you.
32:59I did.
33:00Turns out that Violet
33:01was successful
33:02in her attempt,
33:03and she's been a ghost
33:04the whole time.
33:05Number 18.
33:07Time Jump,
33:08This Is Us.
33:08So I'm going to need
33:10everyone in this room
33:10to believe me
33:11when I say
33:11that only good things
33:12are going to happen
33:13here today.
33:13The pilot for this NBC drama
33:15concerns four people
33:16turning 36 years old.
33:18There's Jack,
33:18husband to Rebecca
33:19and expectant father
33:20of triplets,
33:21Kate,
33:21who's attempting
33:22to shed some weight,
33:23high-powered businessman
33:24Randall,
33:25who was left
33:25at a fire station
33:26as a baby,
33:26and Kevin,
33:27the disillusioned star
33:28of a sitcom
33:29who decides to quit
33:30during a taping.
33:31You know when I think
33:32it all went wrong for me
33:32was 1986,
33:34second grade.
33:34Near the end
33:35of the episode,
33:36all four disparate storylines
33:37are brought together
33:38via a clever time jump.
33:39Strangest damn thing.
33:41Someone left a newborn
33:42at my fire station.
33:44I didn't know
33:44what to do
33:45so I brought him here.
33:46We learn that Jack's storyline
33:47actually takes place
33:48in 1980,
33:49that Kate and Kevin
33:50are Jack and Rebecca's
33:51adult children,
33:52and that Randall
33:53is their adopted son.
33:54Watching this,
33:55we knew from the start
33:56that This Is Us
33:57would not be
33:57a traditional family drama.
33:59Number 17.
34:00The Chicken,
34:01MASH.
34:02In this show's
34:03stellar finale,
34:04Hawkeye is treated
34:05for a nervous breakdown.
34:07He relays the story
34:08of being on a bus
34:09with a group of refugees
34:10and forcing a woman
34:11to keep her clucking
34:12chicken quiet
34:13as an enemy patrol
34:14was driving by.
34:17Everybody's life
34:17was in danger
34:18because of that
34:18damn chicken.
34:21However,
34:22Hawkeye painfully
34:23remembers that the chicken
34:24was actually an infant baby
34:26and the mother
34:27had smothered it to death
34:28on the orders of Hawkeye,
34:30resulting in his
34:31mental breakdown.
34:32MASH was never afraid
34:40to go to some dark places,
34:42and this twist
34:43proved to be
34:43the darkest of them all.
34:45It's one of the most
34:46disturbing and emotional scenes
34:47in television history,
34:49and it all came
34:50as a complete surprise.
34:52Number 16.
34:53The Ice Truck Killer,
34:55Dexter.
34:56Dexter follows
34:56a serial killer
34:57who holds a day job
34:58as a blood spatter analyst
35:00for the Miami
35:00Police Department.
35:01She was shot
35:02at close range.
35:03I wish I had more for you.
35:04Hmm, me too.
35:07Maria,
35:08the DA needs the worksheet
35:10for the Ice Truck Killer case.
35:11In season one,
35:12Dexter hunts
35:13the Ice Truck Killer,
35:14a fellow serial killer
35:15who leaves various body parts
35:17at sites linked
35:18to Dexter's past.
35:19In the season one finale,
35:21we learn that the Ice Truck Killer
35:22is Dexter's biological brother,
35:24Brian Moser.
35:24You always had trouble
35:25saying Brian.
35:29I have a brother.
35:31A real brother.
35:32They were separated
35:33after being found
35:34in a blood-filled
35:34shipping container,
35:36the same event
35:36that permanently
35:37traumatized the brothers
35:38and sent them
35:39on their murderous paths.
35:40That was the best wipeout.
35:43You didn't even cry.
35:45Next time you try
35:45my skateboard,
35:47bend your knees.
35:47Unlike Dexter,
35:49Brian didn't have
35:49a father figure
35:50to help control his urges.
35:51It brings into question
35:53concepts of nature
35:54and nurture
35:54and proves that
35:55killing truly is
35:57in Dexter's blood.
35:58Number 15.
35:59The Truth About Earth
36:01Battlestar Galactica
36:02This twist is reminiscent
36:04of the famous
36:05Statue of Liberty reveal
36:06at the end of
36:07Planet of the Apes
36:08and it's almost as shocking.
36:10The final silence
36:11led me to it.
36:12If it's Earth,
36:12they've given us
36:13the home of the 13th tribe.
36:15Throughout the preceding
36:15four seasons,
36:16the Galactica was searching
36:17for the fabled
36:1813th colony,
36:20also known as Earth.
36:22As the other 12 colonies
36:23were destroyed
36:24by the Cylons,
36:25the enigmatic 13th colony
36:27remained humanity's
36:28last hope for survival.
36:36After searching
36:37for four seasons
36:38and over 60 episodes,
36:40the fleet finally
36:41makes it to Earth,
36:42only to learn
36:43that it's a barren
36:43and radioactive wasteland.
36:46It's a huge gut punch
36:47of a twist,
36:48especially following
36:49the jubilance
36:50of the discovery
36:50of the planet
36:51and it's easily
36:52one of television's
36:53most unexpected
36:54and upsetting reveals.
36:56Number 14.
36:57Sydney in Hong Kong
36:58Alias
36:59In 2004,
37:01J.J. Abrams
37:02would change TV forever
37:03with the premiere of Lost
37:04but three years earlier,
37:06he created another
37:07twist-filled extravaganza
37:08known as Alias.
37:10I've shot you before,
37:10I will do it again.
37:12Alias follows
37:12Jennifer Garner's
37:13Sydney Bristow,
37:14a double agent
37:15working for the CIA.
37:16Although the show
37:17is full of brilliant twists,
37:19the best comes
37:19at the end of season two
37:20when Sydney wakes up
37:21alone in Hong Kong.
37:22This is officer
37:232300844
37:25calling for connection,
37:26confirmation,
37:27looking glass.
37:30Stand by.
37:31She has no memory
37:32of how she got there
37:33and when she meets
37:34the now-married Vaughn,
37:35she learns she's been missing
37:37and presumed dead
37:38for two years.
37:39I thought you were dead.
37:40It's the kind of
37:46tantalizing cliffhanger
37:47Abrams has become
37:48known for
37:49and it had millions
37:50of viewers chomping
37:51at the bit for season three.
37:53I have been missing
37:53for almost two years.
38:05Number 13.
38:06Who really shot Mr. Burns?
38:08The Simpsons.
38:09These years,
38:10things are finally
38:11starting to go my way.
38:12I feel like celebrating.
38:15I...
38:16Oh, it's you.
38:16What are you so happy about?
38:18Matt Groening's
38:19long-running cartoon
38:20isn't really known
38:21for its intriguing storylines,
38:22but that all changed
38:23in the spring of 1995
38:25when Mr. Burns
38:26was shot
38:27by an unseen assailant.
38:28Who's there?
38:29While the episode
38:43was meant to parody
38:43the Who Shot J.R.
38:44concept of 1980,
38:46fans of The Simpsons
38:47were genuinely invested
38:48in the mystery
38:49and it became
38:50just as much of a phenomenon
38:51as the J.R. sensation.
38:52Possibly solve this mystery.
38:54Can you?
38:56Blame was placed
38:58on both Smithers
38:58and Homer
38:59until Burns reveals
39:01it was actually Maggie
39:02who may or may not
39:03have intentionally shot him.
39:05I said drop it!
39:06The reveal put previous clues
39:17into clear focus.
39:18And while episode writers
39:19Bill Oakley
39:20and Josh Weinstein
39:21were not confident
39:21in the reveal,
39:22it's since become
39:23an iconic piece
39:24of TV history.
39:25You pointed to
39:26W and S
39:28or from your point of view
39:31M and S
39:32Maggie Simpson.
39:33The Walking Dead
39:38is well known
39:38for indiscriminately
39:39killing main characters
39:40and that continued
39:42well into its 8th season.
39:47During the season's
39:486th episode
39:48The King,
39:49The Widow
39:49and Rick,
39:50Carl and Sadiq
39:51are set upon
39:51by a group of zombies
39:52while traipsing
39:53through the woods.
39:59Yeah.
40:00They seemingly
40:00survive uninjured
40:01but Carl appears stunned.
40:04In the mid-season finale,
40:05it's revealed that
40:06Carl was bitten
40:06on the stomach
40:07during the struggle,
40:08effectively sealing
40:09his fate.
40:10That's how it happened.
40:19It's not only shocking
40:20within the context
40:21of the series,
40:22but it also deviated
40:23heavily from the source
40:24material in which
40:25Carl is still alive.
40:26I love you, Dad.
40:27The reveal
40:31caught viewers,
40:32long-time readers
40:33and even actor
40:34Chandler Riggs
40:35off guard.
40:36Number 11.
40:37Ben.
40:38Scrubs.
40:39The third season episode
40:40My Screw-Up
40:41is widely regarded
40:42as one of Scrubs' best
40:43and much of that acclaim
40:44stems from the ending.
40:46Throughout the episode,
40:47Cox is hounded
40:48by his ex-brother-in-law
40:49Ben,
40:50who continuously neglects
40:51to follow up
40:52on his leukemia.
40:52While Cox is away
41:00from the hospital,
41:01a patient dies
41:01from cardiac arrest
41:02and Cox enters
41:04an obvious funk.
41:12At the end of the episode,
41:13we learn that the patient
41:14was Ben
41:14and that Cox
41:16had simply been
41:16envisioning Ben
41:17in his mind
41:17to cope with
41:18his unexpected death.
41:21Where do you think
41:21we are?
41:22Winter.
41:26The reveal itself,
41:28with Ben suddenly
41:28disappearing from view,
41:30is both haunting
41:30and beautiful.
41:32And seeing Cox
41:32grudgingly process
41:33the truth
41:34is easily one of
41:35the show's
41:35most emotional moments.
41:37Number 10.
41:38Tommy's Imagination.
41:39Saint Elsewhere.
41:40One of the most famous
41:41or infamous series finales
41:43in television history
41:44belongs to Saint Elsewhere.
41:46Luther, what do you got?
41:46Me?
41:47Spring fever.
41:47You're patient.
41:48What do you care?
41:49You just finished
41:49your last ER shift,
41:51it's over.
41:51Well, you're through
41:52at Saint Elegious forever.
41:53Yeah, the end of the world
41:54as we know it.
41:55And I feel fine.
41:56Saint Elsewhere
41:57was a typical medical drama
41:58that aired on NBC
41:59throughout the 80s.
42:00Nothing about it
42:01was really out of the ordinary.
42:02Until the series finale.
42:04He's been sitting there
42:05ever since you left
42:06this morning.
42:07Just like he does
42:08every day.
42:09World of his own.
42:10The final scene
42:11reveals that the events
42:12of Saint Elsewhere
42:13were imagined
42:14by an autistic child
42:15named Tommy.
42:16It comes out
42:16of absolutely nowhere
42:18and it tweaks
42:19the it was all
42:19a dream concept
42:20just enough
42:21to be original.
42:22I don't understand
42:23this autism thing,
42:24Pop.
42:25Here's my son.
42:26I talk to him.
42:27I don't even know
42:28if he can hear me.
42:29He sits there
42:30all day long
42:31in his own world
42:31staring at that toy.
42:35The quality of this twist
42:36will forever remain divisive.
42:38Some call it
42:39a unique subversion
42:40that was remarkable
42:40for its day
42:41while others
42:42call it cheap
42:42and nonsensical.
42:43But one thing
42:45is guaranteed
42:45you certainly
42:46did not see it coming.
42:48Number 9
42:49The Bad Place
42:50The Good Place
42:51The Good Place
42:52is a great comedy
42:53concerning the lives
42:54of various deceased
42:55individuals
42:55who found themselves
42:57in a heaven-like utopia
42:58suitably titled
42:59The Good Place.
43:00Or have they?
43:02In the season 1 finale
43:03Eleanor comes to
43:04the startling realization
43:05that The Good Place
43:06is actually an experimental
43:07version of The Bad Place
43:09and that the characters
43:10were sent there
43:11to torture each other.
43:12They're never gonna call
43:14a train
43:14to take us
43:15to The Bad Place.
43:16They can't
43:17because we're already here.
43:20Like all great plot twists
43:22this reveal
43:22is not only surprising
43:24it also completely
43:25upends the entire show
43:26and makes you question
43:28everything that you've
43:28previously seen
43:29seemingly understood
43:30and analyzed.
43:32And to think
43:33one of the greatest twists
43:34in modern television
43:35comes from a sitcom.
43:37They know this is
43:39The Bad Place
43:40Eleanor figured it out.
43:42Number 8
43:44True Allegiance
43:45Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
43:46Throughout the first season
43:47we were led to believe
43:48that Grant Ward
43:49was a devoted member
43:50of S.H.I.E.L.D.
43:51However
43:52the truth is revealed
43:53in episode 17
43:54Turn Turn Turn
43:55I want to see him
43:57suffer.
44:01Don't mind the company
44:01and I can always
44:02use a matter of your skills.
44:04Throughout the episode
44:05S.H.I.E.L.D.
44:05attempts to thwart
44:06an internal uprising
44:07of HYDRA sleeper agents.
44:09Everything seems to be
44:10headed towards
44:10a happy ending.
44:12Ward and Skye
44:12finally kiss
44:13the HYDRA infiltrators
44:14are taken into custody
44:15and Garrett
44:16is scheduled
44:16to be executed.
44:17What do you think
44:18Agent Ward?
44:19You shot the wrong
44:21clairvoyant before.
44:23Care to shoot
44:24the right one.
44:25But when given
44:26the opportunity
44:26Ward kills
44:27Victoria Hand
44:28in cold blood
44:29and frees Garrett
44:30effectively revealing
44:31his true allegiance
44:32to HYDRA.
44:34It's a fantastic twist
44:36that ended
44:36the already great
44:37episode on a high
44:38and made us eager
44:39to see what came
44:40next in Ward's
44:41subterfuge.
44:42Number 7
44:43River's Identity
44:44Doctor Who
44:45Introduced back
44:46in the fourth series
44:47River Song
44:48was a mysterious woman
44:49who could seemingly
44:50travel through time
44:51with the doctor.
44:51Then you may kiss
44:52the bride.
44:54I'll make it a good one.
44:56You better.
44:58She became a companion
44:59of the doctor
44:59and eventually married
45:00the Matt Smith incarnation.
45:02Her true identity
45:03and backstory
45:03remained a mystery
45:04until series 6's
45:06A Good Man Goes to War
45:07where it's revealed
45:08that she's the daughter
45:09of the doctor's companions
45:10Amy and Rory.
45:11But that means...
45:13I'm afraid it does.
45:17But you and I
45:19As she was conceived
45:23in the TARDIS
45:24while it was in
45:25a time vortex
45:26she's been given
45:27time-traveling capabilities.
45:28It's me.
45:31I'm Melody.
45:35I'm your daughter.
45:37The twist was kept
45:38top secret
45:39even within the crew
45:40with only a select few
45:41including Stephen Moffat
45:43and actress Alex Kingston
45:44knowing the truth.
45:46Number 6
45:46Bernard
45:47Westworld
45:48In many ways
45:49Westworld is the lost
45:51of today
45:51balancing intriguing
45:52character drama
45:53with endless mysteries
45:54twists and turns.
45:55The longer I work here
45:57the more I think
45:59I understand the hosts
46:00the human beings
46:03who confuse me.
46:05Some twists
46:05are a little too
46:06out there and confusing
46:07even for the most
46:08diehard Westworld fans
46:09but
46:09some work brilliantly
46:11including the reveal
46:12that Bernard is a host.
46:14What's behind this door?
46:19What door?
46:20The truth is revealed
46:21in episode 7
46:22titled
46:23Tampeloeil.
46:24Bernard can't see
46:25the door leading
46:26to the secret lab
46:26as he's been programmed
46:28to ignore it.
46:29Westworld pulled off
46:30a brilliant trick.
46:32What is this place?
46:35It's a remote
46:35diagnostic facility.
46:38Ford and his partner
46:38used them when the park
46:39was in beta.
46:40I had no idea
46:40this woman was here.
46:41It served the audience
46:42a story and character
46:44shattering plot twist
46:45not through actions
46:46but through visuals
46:47and important dialogue.
46:49If you weren't really
46:50paying attention
46:50to what Bernard was saying
46:51you would have completely
46:52missed Westworld's
46:53biggest revelation.
46:54It doesn't look like
46:55anything to me.
46:58I cannot see the things
46:59that will hurt them.
47:02I've spared them that.
47:03At least at first.
47:05Number 5
47:05Elliot's Location
47:07Mr. Robot
47:08I will never leave you.
47:09I will always be
47:10right here.
47:11Do you understand that?
47:12Season 1 ends with
47:14many shocking revelations
47:15concerning Mr. Robot.
47:16Elliot,
47:17who are you talking to?
47:22We learn that he's a figment
47:23of Elliot's imagination
47:24and that Mr. Robot
47:26was the name
47:26of his computer repair shop.
47:28But we think
47:29the prison reveal
47:30in Season 2
47:30tops all that.
47:32Elliot.
47:32You know you haven't
47:37been staying
47:37with your mother, right?
47:41I know.
47:45After Krista
47:46asks Elliot
47:47about his location
47:47everything unravels
47:49and we discover
47:50that Elliot
47:50has been in prison
47:51the entire season.
47:53Some viewers
47:53sussed out the gist
47:54of the twist beforehand
47:55believing that Elliot
47:56was in a psychiatric hospital.
47:58Like all great twists
47:59this one answered questions
48:00while leaving the door
48:01open for more.
48:02And what's even
48:03more unpredictable
48:04is the fact that
48:05this reveal came
48:06in Episode 7
48:06rather than
48:07the more traditional
48:08season finale.
48:09Number 4.
48:10Walt and Brock
48:11Breaking Bad
48:12Season 4 of Breaking Bad
48:14ends on a relatively
48:15happy note.
48:16Gus is dead,
48:17the lab is burned
48:18to the ground,
48:19Walt and Jesse make up
48:20and the dangerously ill
48:21Brock turns out okay.
48:23I don't understand.
48:25Then what was it?
48:27It was most likely
48:28a flower called
48:30Lily of the Valley.
48:31We, like Walt,
48:33are feeling pretty good.
48:34That is,
48:34until the camera
48:35slowly zooms in
48:36on the Lily of the Valley
48:37plant in Walt's backyard
48:39proving that he poisoned Brock.
48:41Jesse was right
48:42all along,
48:43but Walt had successfully
48:44manipulated him
48:45into working
48:45against Gus.
48:47It was an admittedly
48:48genius move by Walt,
48:49but it also proved
48:50to be his moral death.
48:52Even the most ardent
48:53of Walt defenders
48:53can agree that
48:54deliberately poisoning
48:55a child crosses a line.
48:56I won.
48:57With this,
48:59Walt officially went
49:00from anti-hero
49:00to full-blown villain.

49:03The Red Wedding
49:04Game of Thrones
49:05Of course,
49:06The Red Wedding
49:07didn't come as a surprise
49:08if you had read
49:08George R.R. Martin's
49:09A Storm of Swords,
49:10but for newcomers,
49:12this was a plot twist
49:13for the ages.
49:14The Red Wedding
49:15served as the horrific
49:16culmination of
49:17three seasons' worth
49:19of story,
49:19and it will be fondly
49:20remembered as one of
49:21the most startling scenes
49:22in television history.
49:30At the Twins,
49:32Walder Frey gets robbed
49:33with bread and salt,
49:34a symbol of trust
49:35and safety.
49:36However,
49:37the doors are bolted,
49:38the Reigns of Castamere
49:39starts playing,
49:40and the Starks
49:41are mercilessly slaughtered.
49:47So much for trust
49:48and safety.
49:49This twist is now
49:50legendary,
49:51as are the famous
49:52reaction videos
49:53of viewers displaying
49:54absolute disbelief
49:55at the events on screen.
49:57If there's one thing
49:58Game of Thrones
49:58will be remembered for,
49:59it's the shock
50:00that was The Red Wedding.
50:02Now you know
50:02why your nerdy friends
50:03were really depressed
50:0413 years ago.

50:08The Flash Forwards
50:09Lost
50:10Lost is well-known
50:11for its twists,
50:12but none was as significant
50:14as the one
50:15that closed out
50:15Season 3.
50:17Throughout the episode,
50:18we witness a bearded
50:19and depressed Jack
50:20as he battles
50:20substance use disorder
50:21and dark thoughts.
50:23While viewers believed
50:24that this was just
50:24another flashback,
50:26it's actually revealed
50:27to be a flash forward
50:28showing that Jack and Kate
50:29had gotten off the island.
50:31Every little bump
50:32we hit
50:33or turbulence,
50:34I mean,
50:35I actually
50:37close my eyes
50:38and I pray
50:40that I can get back.
50:43Everyone talked
50:44about this twist
50:45and a completely
50:46rejuvenated interest
50:47in the show.
50:47It's now regarded
50:49as perhaps
50:49the greatest twist
50:50in TV history
50:51and Jack's line,
50:53we have to go back
50:54has been ingrained
50:55in popular culture.
50:57We have to go back, Kate.

51:18Number 1.
51:19Nina, 24.
51:2124 was absolutely
51:22chock full of twists
51:24and turns,
51:25but perhaps none
51:26was as notable
51:26as this season 1 twist.
51:29Throughout the first season,
51:30Nina Myers played the role
51:31of CTU official
51:32and ally of Jack Bauer.
51:34When a mole
51:35is discovered within CTU,
51:37Jack immediately
51:38suspects Nina,
51:39but her name
51:39is soon cleared.
51:41However,
51:41we eventually learn
51:42that he was right
51:43all along
51:44in a twist
51:44that turned
51:45the entire character
51:46and show
51:47on their heads.
51:57This is a classic plot twist,
51:59one where a previously
52:00upstanding
52:01and exceptional officer
52:02turns out to be
52:03a malicious psychopath.
52:04Nothing is the same
52:05once Nina is exposed,
52:07and this twist

52:10to a fantastic one.
