Someone is about to walk away from those in need, but then have a moment when they realize it's wrong. So they go back and help. Say our hero, or lancer, Bob isn't interested in helping Alice. Either he did his job already, or he owes nothing to her. It's not his problem, and he's Not in This for Your Revolution, or maybe she's even his enemy who is actively trying to kill him. So Bob just walks off... And then about thirty seconds to a few minutes later, Bob's face shows he can't do this. He has to go back and help. He's annoyed, or even angry, but he does go back. No new information has come to light to make Bob go back. Bob just realized on his own that he has to return. This can overlap with 10-Minute Retirement, or Changed My Mind, Kid. The key is that we have to specifically see these characters stopping on their way, and realizing that they have to do this. Even villains can do this, because of course Even Evil Has Standards. When forced to own up to why they did it, the character may gripe that Being Good Sucks; an otherwise hostile character may claim that I Was Just Passing Through. Keep in mind that new information is not what makes this trope. It is characters changing their mind with the information they already have. Can also overlap with What You Are in the Dark if nobody would know if you didn't go back. Compare Contagious Heroism, Everyone Has Standards, and Returning to the Scene. For the romance/gender-related version after Unsettling Gender-Reveal, see If It's You, It's Okay. |

During the climax of Bioshock Infinite, we find out that Booker experienced this many years ago. Young, recently widowed, and left to raise his baby girl completely on his own, he was approached by Robert Lutece on behalf of Zachary Comstock, who offered to take his daughter off his hands. Booker agreed and gave her away, only to quickly regret it and chase Robert down to get her back; he attempted to wrestle her away from Comstock, who was on the other side of the interdimensional portal he was trying to pull her through, but she slipped from Booker's grasp and was taken. Consumed with regret, he tattooed her initials on the back of his hand as to never let himself forget his mistake. | |

In Solatorobo, when Elh is captured by the Kurvasz, Red seriously considers leaving and declaring the whole issue out of his hands. Especially since Elh did betray them and tried to sacrifice him in the Rite of Forfeit. Chocolat agrees with him initially, but it's all a ploy to get him to realize that they should turn around and go rescue Elh. | |

In the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Christmas Episode, Skeletor kidnaps a pair of Earth children and after much pleading from them, finally takes along the lost puppy that they found. Although this is likely due to him being influenced by the Christmas spirit, it's also possible that Even Evil Has Standards and he can't stomach the idea of leaving a helpless animal to freeze/starve. (Remember that despite his evil ways, he has consistently shown genuine affection to his own dogs) | |

In No Country for Old Men, Llewelyn sees the aftermath of a firefight, and just takes whatever's not nailed down, ignoring the survivor begging for water and leaving the car door open against his wishes out of spite. That night (when the man couldn't possibly have been alive), he feels guilty and brings a gallon of water to the site; things kind of go downhill from there. | |

This is played with a bit in Casey Jones for the episode "Death Rides the Tender.'' Pete, who works as the wood maker for the Midwest and Central, learns his son has been arrested for murder after Casey identities him as the killer. Since his son would be bound for the noose when Casey testifies against him, Pete decides to stick dynamite in one of the logs set for the Cannonball's next trip tomorrow, which would explode upon it being tossed into the firebox. When the train leaves the next morning, Pete starts to feel guilty when he remembers the words Casey Jr. told him about his own father, and he rushes on horseback to catch up to the train and toss the offending log out of the cab before Wally can pitch it into the firebox. | |

Titanic (1997): One of the staff members briefly does this when Jack and Rose come to a locked stairwell and see him on the other side trying to head to the upper deck. He nearly leaves them there, but ultimately turns back to try to unlock the door. However, he drops the keys in the quickly flooding water, gives a quick apology and leaves them, forcing the two to search for the keys and unlock the door themselves. | |

Played straight in Frigid Hare, when a penguin he's been trying to get rid of gets captured by an Eskimo. At first he goes "Oh, well. I'm not my penguin's keeper" and sets back to his hole. Moments later, he pops back up with a horribly guilt-stricken look on his face and goes back to save him, but not before he tries to explain himself to the audience. | |

In the Monster Rancher anime, when Hare is introduced to the series he completely humiliates Tiger in a tournament match by using a dirty trick (in the original version, this dirty trick was to pass a huge fart to knock Tiger out by smell; in the dubbed version, the dirty trick is that Hare sobs for mercy so Tiger will turn his back on him, and then he sucker-punches Tiger for a knockout when his guard is down). After that, Hare apologizes for the dirty trick and treats our heroes to dinner...and then steals their money and leaves them stuck with the bill. After all of this, Hare finally gets into a mess when he almost falls off a cliff and is left dangling by a broken bridge's rope. Hare begs Tiger to save his life, and Tiger retorts that Hare humiliated him in front of thousands of people, and then stole from them on top of that, so perhaps Hare should explain why Tiger should help him at all. Hare can't come up with a good answer, but Tiger's conscience eventually causes him to save Hare anyway. A good move, since Hare then joins the group to aid them in combat. | |

Discworld: In Sourcery, Rincewind has this, when what he really wants to do, and really thinks that he should do, is flee for his life, but his conscience forces him to try to stop the all-powerful wizard Coin from destroying the universe. He even argues against his conscience. End result: Rincewind goes up against Coin with a brick in a sock. and inadvertently succeeds in stopping the destruction of the universe by accidentally inducing a Heel–Face Turn in Coin. Happens in The Light Fantastic; Twoflower declares he's going to go back to make sure Cohen's alright, and Rincewind says he's not going along. Cut scene to the two of them tied up, having been ambushed on the way back. In this case it was a mixture of conscience and The Luggage. |

Happens in The Light Fantastic; Twoflower declares he's going to go back to make sure Cohen's alright, and Rincewind says he's not going along. Cut scene to the two of them tied up, having been ambushed on the way back. In this case it was a mixture of conscience and The Luggage. | |

In The Order of the Stick, team leader Roy has a crisis of conscience and realizes that he can't abandon a helpless innocent and still call himself Lawful Good. He's later called out on this after he's died and getting judged, with the deva saying that if he hadn't gone back, he'd have been labelled "True Neutral" right then and there. But while abandoning the innocent was a bad move, he did end up going back and saving them, which she counts as redeeming himself of that particular sin. It helped that later, he also saved that same person by wearing a gender-reversing belt. | |

Then, at the last second, he rushes to the rescue. The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck: Played with in The Prisoner Of White Agony Creek, where it looks like Scrooge is going back to rescue Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid from being swept down a waterfall after being trapped on breaking spring ice.

You can either argue to stay anyway (which is the right choice) or follow orders and leave. Leaving gives the MC a bad feeling and has him attempt to return, though he doesn't arrive in time to point out an explosion that the other characters missed before it happens. | |

Unfortunately, she came back to find the woman already died of stress. This didn't stop Carly from keeping her money afterwards, which is probably one of the main reasons John tested her. When Ryan is faced with the dilemma of losing his leg to save Anna and Mitch from the Grain Silo Trap, he adamantly refuses at first. After hearing enough of their desperate pleas, however, Ryan caves and gives up his leg. |

Toy Story: Downplayed. After Woody and Buzz escape from Sid and race for the moving van, Buzz gets stuck in the fence. Woody, already safe aboard the van, hesitates only a moment before racing back to help him. According to the directors, originally Buzz was supposed to call for Woody's help, creating a bit of tension over whether Woody would run to save him or not. But they realized that by now the characters' friendship had already been well established, and instead Woody runs to help Buzz after being told "I'll catch up". | |

The Venture Bros.: This is subverted in the episode "Now Museum -- Now You Don't!". When a massive brawl breaks out at his brother's museum gala, Dr. Venture gathers his family and heads for his plane to leave. Just before takeoff he learns that apparently a bomb is about to blow the whole place up, too. Moments later, he tells the pilot Brock they have to go back and help. Brock is surprised at this, since Doc hates his brother, and he's hardly the heroic sort. After a beat, they both start laughing, and Brock admits that for a moment he actually believed it. | |

In The Emperor's New Groove, Pacha warns Kuzco not to go out into the jungle alone. Kuzco ignores him and Pacha has every intention to let him get killed, since that would solve all his problems once and for all. He starts walking away, but can't bring himself to continue and goes after Kuzco. This trope also helps kick off the whole plot; Kronk dumps the bag holding the unconscious llama Kuzco into a river, but then rushes back for him at the urging of his shoulder angel. | |

But in any case, if you manage to drive away, you will eventually get a bad ending, as the Scissors Man hides in the car to kill you, so the only way to obtain the good ending is to stay in manor and try to save your friends. | |

In Chicken Run, on the morning that Rocky "the Flying Rooster" was supposed to teach the hens fly and escape, it's revealed that he didn't know how to fly, but his circus act involved getting shot out of a cannon, and fled from the Tweedys' chicken farm in the middle of the night. Once the hens get over their Heroic BSoD, they begin building their flying machine in order to escape before the sabotaged chicken pie machine is fixed. Meanwhile, Rocky is celebrating his newfound freedom by riding a tricycle, while "the Wanderer" plays on a transistor radio, but when he sees a billboard advertising "Mrs. Tweedy's chicken pot pies" he stops, and decides to turn around. | |

Game of Thrones: Jaime was willing to leave Brienne to her fate at first, but couldn't go through with it and managed to convince his escorts to go back to Harrenhal for her. Although to be fair he did initially think she was going to be ransomed and went back to force the issue at once when he heard that Locke had refused the ransom offer. At first, Stannis makes it clear he has no problem leaving Davos to rot in a cell and letting Melisandre sacrifice Gendry. He changes his mind and releases Davos to give Davos a chance to convince him to spare Gendry. |

In Corpse Party, Ayumi and Yoshiki are returned to the classroom by one of the ghost children as thanks for returning her tongue. Ayumi wants to go back and save their surviving friends. Yoshiki, if you choose to object (or allow Yuka to be caught by Kizami) will do so and Ayumi will return alone after an argument. Yoshiki, however, is reminded of how much his friends mean to him and begs the ghost girl to send him back. It still leads to a Wrong End, though. | |

When the real deal discovers this, he happily thinks how now he'll just wait until Doom finishes Flash off and he'll never have to worry about him again.

The Suicide Squad: After destroying the facility where Starro (and more important to Waller, the files connecting Starro's capture and experimentation as a possible weapon to the United States government) is being held, and inadvertently setting him free, the squad are ordered to return now that the mission is complete; Starro's rampage over Corto Maltese are of no further concern to them. Bloodsport takes a few steps toward the extraction point before realizing he can't leave all the innocent civilians to die, and heads back into the city to fight Starro, with the other squad members following suit. Waller is furious that they're disobeying her command and tries to detonate their Explosive Leashes, but is knocked out by one of her aides who realized that Task Force X were in the right. | |

In Critical Role's second campaign, Caleb Widogast while on watch ponders that he doesn't like or trust his allies, that his gamble for knowledge from the Cobalt Soul has failed exposing an important part of his hidden backstory and how he should really just walk away now. Then he finishes his watch and goes to sleep. Spoony's example above proves merit here, as Caleb was initially Lawful Evil and transitioned to True Neutral over the story. | |

Doctor Who: "The Waters of Mars": The Doctor is leaving Bowie Base One and its crew to their unalterable fates. He can hear their frantic efforts to survive turn to failure as more and more of them fall to the waterborne virus, culminating in the self-destruct of their shuttle. Then he remembers his own words: "I'm not just a Time Lord, I'm the last of the Time Lords." And he returns to save those he can.note Of course, this example is... well, let's just say "complicated" by the fact that to save those people would be to alter a fixed point in time, an act which could possibly destroy time itself. Part of the reason he went back was because he was sick of failing people, yes, especially in light of the fact that he thinks he's going to die soon. But when he actually does save them — or at least thinks he has — he goes absolutely, terrifyingly insane. The whole exercise was about power as much as conscience. Played for Laughs and straight in "Closing Time", when the Doctor, having just paid a visit to his friend Craig, heads out to leave... and the lights start flickering. On the way back to the TARDIS, he loudly insists to himself that he is leaving, not staying, just going, not noticing the flickering lights, ignoring the local mysterious disappearances, not scanning for electrical fluctuations, he is going, he's leaving, he's not getting involved, he is going...cue Gilligan Cut to Craig meeting him again the next morning. Literally no one is surprised, given the Doctor's Chronic Hero Syndrome. |

The climax of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory pivots on this. Charlie Bucket has just learned that he will not receive the promised lifetime supply of chocolate from Willy Wonka because Mr. Wonka knew that he and Grandpa Joe stole Fizzy Lifting Drinks (up to this point, they thought they were Karma Houdinis), and Grandpa Joe's attempt at a damning speech doesn't work. But there is another way to claim a fortune— all they have to do is give the prototype Everlasting Gobstopper that Charlie received earlier to Mr. Wonka's candymaking rival Slugworth, who intends to copy it. As Grandpa Joe and Charlie begin to head out of the room, Charlie stops and decides he cannot break the promise he made to Mr. Wonka not to give the Gobstopper away, and leaves it on his desk by way of apology for what he already did. An overjoyed Mr. Wonka reveals that Mr. Slugworth was an actor in his employ carrying out a Secret Test of Character on the kids. Charlie has passed and won the jackpot, and the real grand prize is not the year supply of chocolate, but ownership of the entire chocolate factory. (Wonka stated that he can't run the factory forever, and doesn't want to try.) | |

In The Iron Giant, Hogarth sees the Giant get caught in some electrical wires, roaring as electricity runs through him. At first Hogarth runs away, but then senses that somehow this metal thing from outer space is suffering, so he runs back and turns off the power station, saving him. | |

In Dragon Age II, if you manage to get Isabella's friendship/rivalry meter high enough, she will return the Qunari relic to the Arishok rather than save her own skin. | |

Dragon Ball Z: After Frieza is sliced into quarters by his own energy disc, Goku has every intention of leaving him to die with the planet he destroyed. Then Frieza starts pleading for his life. For several seconds, Goku is frozen in place, conflicted about what he should do, and yells at Frieza for asking for mercy when he never gave it to anyone. After several more seconds, Goku gives into his conscience and gives Frieza enough energy to leave the planet. Unlike most examples, Goku immediately regrets it given that Frieza is an Ungrateful Bastard who mocks him for his mercy and then tries to shoot him in the back. Goku, already out of patience with Frieza, responds by obliterating him. | |

Done by the villain of the week in Burn Notice, of all people. Sam created a ruse where he was held captive by a security guard so the bad guy could get away and be caught by law enforcement later. Instead, thanks to a story Jesse told him earlier, he decided that No One Gets Left Behind and drove back for Sam. | |

Young Avengers: Loki successfully tricked Wiccan into giving him his power while the team faced a cosmic horror, and Wiccan took his advice on plan B. Loki could have very easily just run and actually considered that, but his conscience literally talked him out of it, in the last second to interrupt Wiccan and save the team. | |

Saw: In a flashback in Saw III, Amanda goes to Mercy Kill Adam after John seals him inside the bathroom to die at the end of the first film because she feels immense guilt for bringing him there in the first place. She puts him out of his misery via suffocation, saying she's going to "free him" and sobbing as he tries to fight back. Two deleted scenes of Saw III really help expound on why Amanda would feel this awful: The first scene, which takes place before the bathroom trap, is of her in the lobby of Adam's apartment building, seemingly there to scope out the layout for when she comes back to abduct him. He walks down the stairs and sees her, and although he doesn't know her, he strikes up a conversation; he compliments her hair, invites her to a Wrath of the Gods concert, and asks if he can take her picture, to which she smiles shyly and agrees. He went out of his way to be friendly and kind to her, honestly hoping to "see her around", and she paid it back by abducting him for John. The second scene, which takes place after the bathroom trap, is her having a vivid nightmare of hearing something go bump in the night while she's the only one awake in the Nerve Gas House — when she goes to investigate, she sees an apparition of Adam, who speaks in a garbled moan, which, when played in reverse, is him asking, "How could you do this to me?" She immediately bolts awake, sweaty and hyperventilating. In Jigsaw: In the past, Carly robbed an asthmatic woman of her purse. Upon discovering her inhaler in the bag, she felt guilt over it and tried to return it to her. Unfortunately, she came back to find the woman already died of stress. This didn't stop Carly from keeping her money afterwards, which is probably one of the main reasons John tested her. When Ryan is faced with the dilemma of losing his leg to save Anna and Mitch from the Grain Silo Trap, he adamantly refuses at first. After hearing enough of their desperate pleas, however, Ryan caves and gives up his leg. |
