Achilles in His Tent	comment	A team member (often The Lancer) gets into a fight with everybody else and quits, vowing to never, ever return to the people whom that member now hates so much. A threat then comes that is precisely suited to the missing member's talents. The other team members beg the quitter to come back, but with no success. The team heads out without their ex-member and are about to all be killed horribly. Then the ex-member, seeing them about to die, realizes that he still cares about them after all. He leaps in with a Foe-Tossing Charge, Just in Time to save everybody, and all are reconciled. An Aesop about friendship and teamwork ensues. Sometimes, the quitter is a character who doesn't seem necessary or desirable. The episode is thus about giving this character some Character Development and showing both the audience and the characters why this person was on the team. Common with What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? characters, but has the danger of falling into a Plot Tailored to the Party. This goes all the way back to Achilles sulking in his tent in Homer's Iliad (hence the trope name), making it Older Than Feudalism. Although notably, he wouldn't come out until his best friend/cousin/boyfriend was actually killed trying to take his place. Contrast 10-Minute Retirement, We Want Our Jerk Back!. Often followed by a He's Back! moment. Compare with Just Fine Without You and Holding Out for a Hero. See also Changed My Mind, Kid. Heavily related to We Used to Be Friends. Not to be confused with Screw This, I'm Outta Here, which is when someone quits an activity out of fear or laziness rather than out of a feeling of having been wronged. For longer-lasting conflicts, see Removing the Crucial Teammate. See also Deus Exit Machina. A loose Good Counterpart is Dragon Their Feet. If the villain refuses to come out, it's Orcus on His Throne.

Although he's offered a good position with the CIA, he quits entirely and wants nothing more to do with Sydney ever, nor the intelligence world, nor the team he used to be a part of (who have all joined the CIA). A dangerous mission crops up that desperately needs Dixon's personal knowledge but he refuses to get involved, so Sydney takes his place. When she's captured because of information she lacked, Dixon rushes in to save her life, rebuilds his relationship with her, and joins the CIA.

In this case, the episode ended with Henry being locked in the "tent" he sulks in for "Always and Always and Always", and it wasn't until the following episode that Henry got to make up for his wrongdoings and save the day. In "Trouble in the Shed" Henry tries it again, along with Gordon and James and once again, it backfires. The Fat Controller shuts them up and gets Thomas and Edward to run the line.

The Monster of the Week attacks Little Tokyo while Speedy and Polly are recording a song. Guido refuses to fight, saying that maybe he had better things to do, too. Francine sends the rescue team to fight the monster. They do well until the Rude Noise engage them. Guido finally snaps out of it, when he sees the rescue team get blown away. Just as Speedy gets his ass kicked and Polly is reduced to Damsel in Distress Guido makes his grand entrance, dispatches the ninja crows in a coolly executed Foe-Tossing Charge and finishes off the monster. This also served to give Guido some actual Character Development, showing him grow from simply a Handsome Lech to a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

When he is at the Sierra Morena forest, he invokes this trope by sending Sancho with a letter to Dulcinea (his imaginary love interest) explaining to her that he will be in the forest until she forgives himâ€¦ Even when Don Quixote has not made anything against her. This madness will force the Curate and the Barber to ask Dorotea to pretend to be a princess and ask Don Quixote a favour to get him out of the forest.

Replace Anakin with Kylo Ren, Palpatine with Snoke, the old Jedi Order with Luke's new Jedi Order, and the Empire with the First Order, and you have the whole story. Then Rey begs Luke to train her, and Luke refuses until his old friend Artoo changes his mind. Just as Luke begged Yoda to train him and Yoda refused until his old friend Obi-Wan changed his mind. And Rey runs off with incomplete training just like Luke did. But events play out differently from here. Yoda's force ghost appears to Luke to guide him. Yoda's ability to completely relate to Luke's mistakes inspires Luke to rejoin the fight. Though he drains himself and dies after a single battle, he did what Yoda did not and actually returned to the battlefield to save the heroes one last time.

All-New Ultimates: Kitty didn't like the way Jessica drafted her onto the team, and initially refused to take part in it. But, as their first mission went badly, she decided to join them. The Ultimates Initially, Thor refused to join the Ultimates. When Hulk started his rampage, he said that he would only help if Bush increased the foreign aid budget, which they took as a refusal and started the fight without him. But suddenly, there's a clap of thunder and Thor shows up, stomping Hulk under his hammer. Because Bush had just increased the foreign aid budget. Initially, Tony Stark only minded about his own business, but he suddenly accepted Fury's requests and joined the Ultimates. He later revealed to Cap and Thor that he's Secretly Dying, that he has an inoperable cancer tumor in his head. Captain America quits after "The Death of Spider-Man", blaming himself for Peter's death. It takes quite a lot for him to decide to get back into the game.

More, he realizes he is being untrue to himself by abandoning Elan — his whole reason for becoming a fighter and an adventurer was to help others. When Roy dies (he gets better), he learns that had he not gone back, he'd have ended up in a rather worse afterlife. Though it also helped that in a later adventure he acted more promptly to save Elan's life.

Due to an increasing series of setbacks and personality conflicts, Nigel Tufnel stomps off in the middle of a show (which is going very badly), effectively quitting the band. The band's fortunes continue to get worse, as their venues and audiences get smaller, and they're forced to cut all of Nigel's songs (eliminating the bulk of their set). Finally, in the last ever performance of what's left of Spinal Tap, Nigel returns with an offer to reunite for a Japanese tour supporting their latest album. Rejected at first, he's invited back, as an expression of the The Power of Rock/The Power of Friendship.

Sokka gets angry and Katara gets disappointed in him, and they leave him behind. But after they hear how Bato (their father's friend) ended up in the same position Aang was in, they decide to find Aang again and apologize. And Aang goes back to his friends after hearing that Zuko is trailing them with a bounty hunter. In a season 2 episode, Toph and Katara get into a fight (lack of sleep can do that to you), and Aang tries to settle things down between them. That is, until Toph insults Appa and says that the reason the Fire Nation is following them is because of Appa's shedding fur, and Aang loses his cool with her. Because of this, Toph leaves the group and meets up with Iroh, whose time she spent with convinces her to return to the team just in time when Azula fights Team Avatar. Same can be for Zuko, who briefly leaves his uncle Iroh behind at a hot spring in season 1. When he ends up getting captured by Earth Kingdom soldiers, he has to choose between pursuing Aang or rescuing Iroh, and he chooses the latter in a cool Big Damn Heroes moment.

Achilles in His Tent / int_8dd8ec81	comment	A couple of cases in Sailor Moon: Sailor Mercury is prone to the more benevolent versions of the standard plot; she starts as the only Senshi without offensive abilities and is too nice to storm off. Instead, she's offered a chance to study abroad and further her goals of becoming a doctor, which will remove her from the Senshi. She's about to take it but changed her mind at the last moment so returns in time to get her mid-season power upgrade (which finally makes her more action-geared) and rescue the rest of the team from a monster only weak to ice, and she returns to the fold. Later in the season, she's attacked by a monster that causes paranoia and self-doubt, and she hallucinates that everything everyone says to her is derisive and mean. Eventually, her faith that her friends would never say such horrible things allows her to break the spell and come back to everyone. Sailor Venus also has an episode where she decides to leave the Sailor Senshi — not because she's upset, but because she wants time off from saving the world so she can rejoin the volleyball league she was forced to quit as well as get a boyfriend. Who should show up but a Monster of the Week with volleyball-related powers attacking Venus's love interest. After defeating the enemy, she then decides to go back to being a Sailor Senshi, possibly after learning that said love interest already has a girlfriend. Sailor Mars pulls this (and it's implied that she bullied Mercury into doing it as well) in the episode titled Restore Naru's Smile: Usagi's Friendship (The Power of Friendship in the English dub). During a discussion, Mars states that she'd make a better leader than Sailor Moon and gets upset when the others point out that Usagi/Serena is getting better. Naru/Molly is missing Nephrite, she seeks the advice of a priest at a graveyard, Zoicite attacks. Usagi/Serena is luckily there and a message is sent to the other scouts for backup. It cuts to Makoto/Lita running through the streets complaining about how Rei/Ray and Ami/Amy refused to come along "Sailor Scouts can't go on strike!"

Another episode had T.J. depressed after their plan to break in to the Ashleys' clubhouse failed and Gus sprained his ankle. The rest of the group tries another break-in and upon seeing that it's going wrong, T.J. steps in and salvages their plan. As it turns out, the heavy flaws were intentional by the group, in order to help T.J. get his confidence back. Another episode features Vince giving up on kickball after he is shown up on the field by one of the Ashleys, only to come back and kick a ball all the way into outer space at the end.

Achilles is a bit more sympathetic, with the constant reminder of the prophecy making clear that Achilles is giving up his life for the war and Agamemnon being a prideful fool that causes a lot of trouble to the war campaign, a lot of which ends with Achilles and Patroclus having to clean up after him (for example, a deadly plague cast on the soldiers by Apollo when he refused to comply to proper terms of prisoner release). That said, this is still presented as an ultimately selfish idea that is costing the lives of people in their conjoined army for Achilles' pride, even as that starts losing him the trust of his advisor Phoenix and his lover Patroclus, and even the adoration of his men.

Achilles in His Tent / int_9c0529ad	comment	Waltharius: After being accused of cowardice by Gunther because he warned him of picking a fight with Walther, an infuriated Hagen refuses to participate in the combat and instead just watches from a nearby hill. Though Walther stands alone against Gunther and his eleven remaining champions, the fight goes terribly wrong for the Franks. Only after the eleven others are dead, one of them being Hagen's own nephew Patavrid, Gunther apologizes to Hagen and implores him that the Franks will never recover from the shame if Walther gets away unpunished. This argument finally changes Hagen's mind. The ensuing battle ends with a draw when all three combatants are so severely wounded they can no longer fight. That Hagen is the strongest among Gunther's champions is established by Walther himself, who comments on the approach of Gunther and his troop that Hagen is the only one of them he is afraid of.

Achilles in His Tent / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece had a downplayed version of this trope play out over an entire two-year-long story arc. Usopp protests when the crew decides to junk their broken-down old ship in favor of a shiny new one, as the ship had been given to them by his girl back home, and was practically one of the True Companions. Told to get over it by Luffy (in a rare scene where he actually issues an order as captain) Usopp chooses to leave the crew instead. Later, our heroes find themselves in huge trouble, so Usopp returns to help out, but, unwilling to face his former comrades, he shows up in an incredibly obvious disguise (which still manages to fool two of the more gullible crewmembers.) Despite helping save the day, he is still not asked back on the crew, (even though everyone really wanted him back) since he went against a direct order from his captain. Only when he apologizes without provocation (and, as it happened, does so very loudly) do our heroes welcome him back. This example even adds the second part of this trope, where the character's specific talents become needed. The story was a Rescue Arc, with Robin, the crewmember they were trying to rescue, being carried away by the Non-Action Big Bad. By the time anyone is in a position to stop him, he's too far away for anyone to do so, with the Big Bad having a significant head start over even the guy closest to him. Fortunately, being a sniper, Usopp was able to slow him down from a distance, buying the previously mentioned closest guy time to catch up and administer a more direct rescue.

Achilles in His Tent / int_a34863aa	comment	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used this trope more than once, with more than one turtle. The entire TMNT movie could be a variation on this theme. Leonardo has stayed in South America for a year after his training was supposed to be over. While he's gone, Raphael develops some serious anger issues with his older brother, and sort of does the inverted Achilles in His Tent as the team falls apart: he goes out and fights crime solo as the Nightwatcher while his two younger brothers work menial jobs, watch television, and play video games. When Leo comes back, Raph is way too angry to reconcile with him and keeps up his Nightwatcher act until Leo - literally - "unmasks" him. Leo and Raph duel and Raph almost wins but backs off when he realizes he's become angry enough to actually hurt (kill?) his own brother. As Raphael runs away, he hears Leo scream as the Big Bad captures him. He tries to go after Leo, but the bad guys get away. Raphael returns home, where Splinter gives him some Epiphany Therapy, after which he leads the other turtles (with some help) to storm the bad guys' tower and rescue Leo. In the second season of the 2012 series, April tells the Turtles she never wants to see them again after their blunder earlier on causes the Kraang's shipment of mutagen to get scattered all over New York and one of the canisters mutates her father into a monster bat. It takes a few episodes for them to reconcile.

"The Night of the Doctor" reveals that the Eighth Doctor actively avoided the Time War, not wanting to get caught up in all the violence. When forced to choose between either regenerating into a person more suited for war or getting Killed Off for Real, he clearly leans toward the latter, especially after a potential companion preferred death to getting help from a Time Lord. He only relents and becomes the War Doctor after a "What the Hell, Hero?" Speech hammering in that he's the only one who can potentially stop the universe-spanning war, whether he passes the Despair Event Horizon or not. Torchwood lampshades this in Children of Earth, when the government sacrifices children who perform low on league tables to the 456. Gwen says that sometimes mankind must sink to such levels that even the Doctor must turn his face away in disgust.

After realizing his folly (a New Republic is formed after the Emperor's death, and Mothma doesn't seize the throne as Bel Iblis feared), he initially remains in hiding trying to build up his forces so that they would be powerful enough to turn the tide of the war once he makes his return because he can't stand the idea that he would just be crawling back begging Mon Mothma to let him back in. When Han Solo and Lando Calrissian stumble onto his base by accident while investigating possible treason by another New Republic leader, he returns despite not yet having built the grand fleet he hoped for. But he refuses to take command of the New Republic fleet, even while they're being attacked, by an enemy commander that only he is skilled enough to match, and even when Princess Leia (the daughter of his best friend, the late Bail Organa) begs him to do so, saying he'll only do so if Mon Mothma herself asked him. Then Mothma does come to speak with him in person, at which point he realizes he was still being a stubborn fool and takes over defense of the capital.

Achilles in His Tent / int_e6405649	comment	In The Dinosaur Lords, after Karyl comes to the conclusion that he's a Doom Magnet and his bad dreams are becoming not only a nightly occurrence but also more intense, he completely withdraws from leading his own army. He does come back eventually when Rob finally manages to break it to him that he's the only man for the job.

Achilles in His Tent / int_e7de0d5f	comment	A rare non-combat example: the 1980s children's puppet show The Letter People. In an early episode, Miss A gets into a fight with the other letters and quits. Since Miss A was the only vowel in the cast at this point, nobody can form a word without her and they have to beg her to come back. (Since she was also the only female letter introduced at this point, this may have been a sly way to teach feminism to the target audience.)

He does come back an episode or two later, and they toss him in the brig for it.

Achilles in His Tent / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy lampooned this with exterminators in one episode. One of them, named Logan, is having an emotional breakdown because his family was carried off by fire ants. But he shows up just in time to save his fellow exterminators from a flea infestation. Please note that instead of being "exterminators" with insecticides, they're basically a bunch of soldiers with guns and body armor. Also please note that the "Rescue" was shooting one single flea that was approaching three heavily armored men.

Achilles in His Tent / int_ec19bd89	comment	Saiyuki has one of these for every one of the Sanzo party apart from Goku (although Hakkai's is anime-only), which results in the rest of them going "fine see if we care" and "we can manage just fine without...." When Gojyo stays behind to go after Kami-sama the others eventually go back, the reason they give is he's caused so much trouble they have to go beat him up. Which they do once they get there (arriving at just the right time) however Gojyo realises he needs them; in a slight subversion, however, it is him who manages to save all of them when the building starts falling down. In the anime Hakkai ignores all of the others for a while because he's waiting for them to apologize for not tidying up as they promised to (reload filler is odd sometimes), they say "we're not apologizing, we can manage without him" and try to (Hakkai does all the cooking and cleaning and has taken the credit card so...). He breaks when Goku can't stand it anymore and comes and tells him how horrible it is and basically makes the other two apologize. Sanzo's one lasts considerably longer than any other separation (they manage without him for longer, and he's more stubborn); he's gone off on his own private agenda for a bit. The only time they admit they can't manage without a member is when Jeep goes missing (Hakkai says that it's worse than when Gojyo left, causing the latter to object that he shouldn't place below a car).

Achilles in His Tent / int_ec2c69cb	comment	The entire TMNT movie could be a variation on this theme. Leonardo has stayed in South America for a year after his training was supposed to be over. While he's gone, Raphael develops some serious anger issues with his older brother, and sort of does the inverted Achilles in His Tent as the team falls apart: he goes out and fights crime solo as the Nightwatcher while his two younger brothers work menial jobs, watch television, and play video games. When Leo comes back, Raph is way too angry to reconcile with him and keeps up his Nightwatcher act until Leo - literally - "unmasks" him. Leo and Raph duel and Raph almost wins but backs off when he realizes he's become angry enough to actually hurt (kill?) his own brother. As Raphael runs away, he hears Leo scream as the Big Bad captures him. He tries to go after Leo, but the bad guys get away. Raphael returns home, where Splinter gives him some Epiphany Therapy, after which he leads the other turtles (with some help) to storm the bad guys' tower and rescue Leo.

The crew slowly goes stir crazy and she falls into despair and remains in her quarters, blaming herself for stranding them in the Delta Quadrant. Chakotay tries to get her out of it citing the crew needs their captain, but she ignores him. An alien attack, however, brings her back to protect her crew.

Achilles in His Tent / int_ef9ba9b4	comment	Yoda is doing this between Revenge of the Sith and The Empire Strikes Back. He was so disheartened by his loss to Palpatine and letting the galaxy fall under the control of a Sith empire that he exiled himself to the planet Dagobah in shame. When Luke shows up, Yoda is reluctant to train Luke, because he is afraid of Luke turning out like his father. He is discouraged to such an extent that he doesn't even want to bother with it. While Yoda never returns to the action himself, he does eventually agree to train Luke after Obi-Wan encourages him, making his return downplayed but still important. Obi-Wan himself, despite going into exile during this time as well, avoids the trope because he spent his exile preparing Luke to one day become a Jedi, meaning that unlike Yoda he never really gave up on saving the galaxy.

Achilles in His Tent / int_f1b13839	comment	Given that The Camp Half-Blood Series is basically Classical Mythology happening in the modern USA plus made more friendly to younger audiences, it's unsurprising that this comes up. In the final book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series it's recreated almost exactly: Clarisse, daughter of Ares, refuses to let any of her siblings join the fight because they won a prize in battle that got taken away. Even after they get it back, she won't fight in the war. Eventually, Clarisse's new best friend, Silena, daughter of Aphrodite, steals her armor, leads the rest of Ares's children into battle, and gets killed in the fight, causing Clarisse to join the war. In the same book, Hades refuses to help his fellow Olympians against Kronos, although he's eventually convinced to help out by Nico talking him into it, rather than anyone dying. He arrives Just in Time, of course.

Achilles in His Tent / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: Omega Supreme has lived in seclusion since the Golden Age of Cybertron, only nominally allying with Autobots and generally believing that the Cybertronian race may be beyond salvation. However, after being attacked during the events of The Transformers: All Hail Megatron he returns to save the Autobots on Cybertron and begins to work more closely with the main Autobot army, even holding out hope that change is possible. Megatron, following his Heelâ€“Face Turn in More Than Meets The Eye, actually becomes a pacifist when he realizes just how much death he has caused throughout his life (it measures in the billions). He violates this vow once: when the Decepticon Justice Division (who are fanatically devoted to his savage former ideals) comes for him, he surrenders himself to save the rest of the crew but then fights back and destroys the DJD when they reject this offer. After this, he renounces violence once more, and this time it sticks; following a Time Skip, it seems he is back to fighting as he appears to have his iconic fusion cannon on his arm once more, but this turns out to be a folding medical kit, indicating that he finally achieved his youthful dream of becoming a medic. Note that although he doesn't fight himself, he still aids the Autobots by serving as a field commander, his strategic mind being his greatest asset.

Because of it, he loses confidence in his abilities and stays in his quarters, trying to determine what is wrong with his programming. Several crewmembers try to get him out of it and back on the bridge; Dr. Pulaski at one point marches straight into his quarters and demands, "How long are you going to be sulking like Achilles in his tent?" He's convinced that he's not unreliable and takes his place on the bridge in time to assist in a sudden crisis and formulate the plan to save the crew.
