A character is forced to part with their love interest for some reason (often due to the latter's death), but eventually gets together with someone who looks almost exactly the same as their previous beau. This new love interest is usually a twin/sibling of the previous one, but they could also be an Alternate Universe version of that character, a clone, or just an Identical Stranger. If time travel is involved, the love interest in the present is often an identical grandson or grandfather, which also makes for some incestuous implications if you assume they get married and have babies. See also Doppelgänger Dating, where a person gets a love interest that looks similar to another character (often a Gender Flip of their Heterosexual Life Partner). There's also Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment for examples of the same concept that don't necessarily involve romance. Compare/contrast Has a Type, where a character actively seeks out love interests with particular traits. Due to the nature of this trope and its close association with Death Tropes, spoilers are likely. |

Played with in the Sunrider series. Kayto Shields lost his girlfriend, the Prototype known as Chigara, at the end of the second game. Six years later he is forced to recruit Lynn, another Prototype, into his crew. Since all Prototypes look identical, Kayto keeps Lynn at arm's length at first, both because she’s a constant reminder of what he lost and because he's afraid that she'll betray him if he gets close to her, just like Chigara did. For her part, Lynn makes it clear to Kayto that she is not Chigara: they may have shared a Hive Mind at one point, but Lynn has cut herself off from it and is her own person now, with her own wants and desires. The crux of their budding relationship lies in Kayto coming to accept this fact and learning to trust Lynn. | |

In the Last Herald-Mage trilogy of the Heralds of Valdemar series, The Hero Vanyel loses his first Love Interest, Tylendel, in a truly epic tragedy that starts him on the path to becoming the most powerful Herald-Mage in the history of the kingdom. Seventeen years later, he finds a new love interest, Stefan, who is physically dissimilar, but still bears an uncanny psychic resemblance to Tylendel, up to and including forming a lifebond with Van. It turns out that 'Lendel was reincarnated as Stefan, though most of the main characters are ignorant of this until close to the end of the story. | |

In the X-Men comics, after Jean Grey "died" in The Dark Phoenix Saga, her boyfriend, Scott Summers, met and married Madelyne Pryor, a girl who looked just like her. Originally, Maddie was meant to just be a girl who happened to resemble Jean, but after Jean's return she was retconned as being a clone created by Mister Sinister, who wanted a child from Jean Grey and Scott Summers' genes and arranged for Scott to meet Maddie and eventually marry and have a child with her. Sure enough, said child grew up to be the time-traveling badass Cable. | |

Sluggy Freelance: Both Zoë and her Dimension of Lame counterpart are this for Torg. First Torg has a Cannot Spit It Out crush on Zoë, then he gets trapped in the Dimension of Lame and hooks up with that universe's Zoë, then Alt-Zoë is killed by Lord Horribus and Torg returns to his home universe, and starts crushing on Zoë all over again. And it turns out Torg is this for Alt-Zoë as well, since her dimension's Torg vanished long ago after the two were romantically involved. |

In Winter Shard, if Frederone's love interest Rosetta dies, Zewoe creates a clone of her to please him. This enrages Federone, either because he promised Rosetta that he wouldn't try to resurrect her or because he did resurrect her only for her to be Driven to Suicide because of her religious beliefs, and he actually orders Marliene to wear a mask at all times when around him because he doesn't want to be reminded of how much she resembles Rosetta. He can either come around to accept Marliene as a legitimate love interest in her own right, or he can reject her. | |

Unfortunately, due to the series' abrupt cancellation in mid-arc, it actually ended with Chase encountering an alternate-universe version of Gert and then being hit by a van. | |

The NES game Astyanax ends with the hero back in his normal highschool world, but the new student is a dead ringer for the fairy companion who pulled a Heroic Sacrifice... but the game never says whether perhaps she was just reborn or what. A cutscene in the English release heavily implies that Princess Rosebud revived said fairy companion as a human as thanks for her assistance. |

In his universe, Dr. Harshom's son Malcolm had a girlfriend who, unbeknownst to him, was pregnant when he was killed in 1927. She married a Canadian man named Reggie Gale who raised her daughter Belinda (Ottilie's counterpart) as his own. When Colin found Belinda, she was living in a flat in Ottawa with her mother. Reggie, a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, was killed in a mission over Berlin during the war. Colin marries Belinda within several months and brings her back to England to meet her grandfather Dr. Harshom. | |

The Outer Limits (1995): Subverted in "Second Soul". One man's wife dies and donates her body to an alien race (they can occupy and revive recently dead bodies, and need to do so to live). He meets the recipient, and finds out that they do sometimes inherit random memories from their hosts, but she does not fall in love with him, becomes bothered by him following her around and eventually gets a restraining order against him. It's even hinted that the process is set up to prevent the aliens from being close to family members of their hosts, presumably to prevent this from becoming a regular occurrence. In "In Another Life", a man mourning the death of his wife gets sent to a parallel universe. He quickly tries to find the alternate version of her, only to discover she already has a boyfriend. In the end, when he decides to stay, he meets the alternate version of his wife again and they strike up a friendship, leaving him hopeful that they may get together in the future. |

Injustice: Gods Among Us: The alternate Harley Quinn falls for the main universe's Joker, as her Joker had been killed, but eventually dumps him and moves on when she realizes what an asshole he is. The evil alternate Superman declares he will kill the main universe's Superman and take his Lois Lane. When Superman points out she would be disgusted and terrified of him, evil Superman says he doesn't care as long as Lois is alive again. Fortunately, Superman defeats the evil one. The side comics also have this with Black Canary and Green Arrow, as described above in the Comic Books folder. |

In the ending of Future Diary, Yuno dies for Yukiteru's sake, but due to the meddling of various other characters, Yuki eventually gets together with another version of Yuno from an alternate timeline, who was given her memories by the original Yuno's familiar. As a bonus, since Yuki's time-traveling shenanigans resulted in her counterpart having a happier childhood, she's not a Yandere. Similarly, Minene finds herself trapped in the past but ends up marrying the two-years-younger version of Nishijima, who had died in Minene's timeline trying to help Minene win the survival game. There are also elements of Love Transcends Spacetime, since the younger Nishijima inexplicably seemed to recognize Minene, and although the alternate Yuno is leading a happy life, she can't help but feel like she's missing something very important. | |

This is discussed in God Slaying Blade Works. Rin Tohsaka says that her teacher Zelretch has warned all his students of the dangers of meeting alternate universe versions of their loved ones. When Sakura Matou asks to study under Zelretch to learn the 2nd Magic and have the ability to travel to other universes, Rin warns her that even if she finds an alternate Shirou Emiya, it would just be a guy who shares his face, not the man she fell in love with. Sakura then corrects her; she's just figured out the man she fell in love with is trapped in another dimension, not dead, so she aims to retrieve him. | |

Zig-zagged in the penultimate volume of Gleams of Aeterna: Robert's love interest, Baroness Marianne, is killed during the Ollarian riots — but he never actually learns of it, since he is busy elsewhere, dealing with the rioters and helping the refugees. After escaping the city, however, a fulga (a shapeshifting elemental being) finds him and assumes Marianne's form to comfort him and help him recuperate after the Trauma Conga Line he just suffered, without adding any more trauma to it. The Magnificent Bastard Marcel Valme actually sees through her disguise and confronts her, but after confirming that she has no ulterior motive for Robert, he lets her carry on, since he wants Robert up and running ASAP. | |

Inuyasha plays with this trope in the situation between Inuyasha, Kikyo, and Kagome. After Kikyo's death, plenty of characters who knew Kikyo are struck by the similarity between Kikyo and Kagome (justified by the fact that Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation), resulting in Kagome angsting over being compared to Kikyo. Inuyasha himself was initially repulsed by Kagome because her scent was so similar to Kikyo, something he got over when he realised their scents weren't the same. He didn't actually notice the physical resemblance between the two until he caught Kagome sleeping one time and had the chance to really study her face to see what everyone else was going on about; for him it didn't really factor in to how he handled Kagome. As a result, the trope is played with because while the resemblance is there, it's not the driving force behind their relationship or the reason Inuyasha became attracted to Kagome. The differences between Kagome and Kikyo are, in fact, so stark, that Kikyo and Kagome have trouble understanding each other and Inuyasha never has any trouble keeping the two women straight in his head because their personalities and motivations are very different. | |

Warframe: The Orokin Ballas was in love with Margulis, the "mother" of the Tenno. After she died (in part because Ballas voted with the council that ordered her execution), Ballas was distraught, and joined the Sentients, machines trying to destroy the Orokin. Then came the Lotus, who took the Tenno under her wing and made herself look like Margulis to put them at ease. Ballas eventually became convinced that the Lotus could be his new Margulis, and tried to convince her to join him. Unfortunately, she did. Ballas quickly came to regret this, as the Lotus was a Sentient herself and once among them again they "fixed" her to act like a proper Sentient again instead of like Margulis. Ballas insists that the Lotus tricked him, even though the whole thing was his idea from the start. | |

In .hack//G.U., after Haseo loses Shino to Triedge, he meets Atoli who happens to have the near exact same avatar design, save a color change. However, while her looks are similar, her personality is very different from Shino's, which causes Haseo to (initially) hate her. This trope is more justified in most instances in that it takes place in a video game where, like in real games, many characters are near Palette Swaps of others. | |

Deconstructed in Silent Hill 2, where James can choose to be with Maria, who is an idealized doppelganger of his dead wife Mary. In the ending Maria starts to cough, implying that James is doomed to relive the pain of her dying from a terminal illness just like his wife did. The game implies that this is what James just deserves for clinging to an image of his wife instead of moving on. Or, in another interpretation, refusing to accept responsibility for what he did, and failing to understand why what he did was wrong and selfish. | |

Inverted in Solaris the titular planet creates doppelgangers for some unfathomable reasons, and the protagonist he eventually falls in love with the copy of his fiancee whom he failed to save. This is not a case of Replacement Goldfish, as he remains well aware that the copy isn't the same person as the original. She doesn't know she's not the original, though, gets a major identity crisis upon learning, and the whole thing ends on a rather bittersweet note. | |

The Marvel Cinematic Universe fic Descent features Wanda, on the run after the events of WandaVision, discovering that Pepper was able to slip her a memory drive containing a copy of JARVIS that Tony acquired during his visit to 2012 in Avengers: Endgame. While this version of JARVIS doesn't have any memory of Wanda from his time and is reeling from the knowledge of everything that has changed in the last eleven years, and Wanda often reminds herself that JARVIS just has the Vision's voice rather than his memories, JARVIS soon finds himself more invested in helping Wanda than he would expect, struck by how she treats him in a more familiar manner that he isn't used to experiencing (he draws a distinction between his relationships with Tony and Wanda as Tony was more of a parent to him whereas Wanda's relationship with him is harder to define). | |

Fushigi Yuugi. After Miaka encounters a man who looks identical to Tamahome, named Taka, in her own world, it's said that he's Tamahome's reincarnation. After Taka suffers from some Clone Angst, Suzaku admits that Taka Sukunami is not Tamahome's reincarnation, but a regular man who was meant to unite with Tamahome's memories. Also, Houki marries Hotohori, who looks just like her former boyfriend Tendou who is Hotohori's half-brother, and the original crown prince of Konan. And even though Hotohori and Nuriko were never an Official Couple, the fact that Houki resembles Nuriko raised more than a few eyebrows in the fandom. In Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden, Filka falls in love with Urumiya, until the latter dies. Fortunately, Urumiya, whose personal name is Hagas, has a Backup Twin named Tegu, who inherits Hagas's memories after his demise. It is stated that Filka eventually marries Tegu. |

A rather weird example occurred in Farscape. At one point, John Crichton gets split in two, with the implication that they are both "real". Soon after, the crew gets separated into two groups, each with one Crichton. Aeryn, who'd been growing closer to Crichton during the course of the series, finally consummates her relationship with the Crichton she's with. He eventually performs a Heroic Sacrifice, and the remaining Crichton finds it an uphill battle to win back her love. | |

Altered Carbon: Officer Kristin Ortega keeps following Takeshi Kovacs around town after his personality has been downloaded into a new body. He later discovers that this is because the body used to belong to her former boyfriend, Officer Elias Ryker. This was arranged by his client Laurens Bancroft to punish her for failing to solve his own murder. Kovacs later falls into bed with Ortega after an After Action Patch Up, though she acknowledges that he's not the same person. Ultimately, Ryker is given back his sleeve after he is exonerated so he and Ortega can be together. | |

A variation in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Ripple Effect". Among the dozen other SG-1s from alternate realities who show up on the base, one of them has Martouf, a Tok'ra who developed quite an interest in Samantha Carter. Though they don't hook up in the episode, it does provide some nice closure for Sam (and the fans) since the regular-universe Martouf was killed before the relationship had a chance to develop. | |

This is, essentially, what starts the plot of The Vampire Diaries: Stefan returns to Mystic Falls after finding out about the existence of Elena Gilbert, a human girl who looks exactly like his deceased ex Katherine Pierce (later explained to be because they're descendants, since Elena was adopted, and both are Doppelgängers). However, he subverts this slightly in that he falls in love with her because she's the opposite of Katherine. | |

In Nobody's Hero, Ai, whose version of Yusaku was killed two years ago, bitterly lampshades this when he learns his counterpart sacrificed himself to save Yusaku in the other timeline. After his capture, Ai reveals he did send the datastorm to Yusaku's universe to retrieve him, but it took two years for Yusaku to catch up to his timeline. The two happily reunited in the epilogue when Revolver sent Ai to Yusaku's universe after three months. | |

In Stephenie Meyer's The Host (2008), one human has his girlfriend taken over by a Soul. The free humans then remove the Soul, but the girlfriend is brain-dead due to the possession by this point—so they just stick the Soul back in the body. The original mind's boyfriend then stays with the Soul-in-the-body, despite said Soul being the reason that his girlfriend died at all. | |

Star Trek: On Star Trek: The Original Series, the end of the episode "Mirror, Mirror' had Kirk meet a counterpart of Marlena Moreau, a female crew member who had been his counterpart's "woman" in the Mirror Universe. Played with in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Second Chances": Commander Will Riker's transporter duplicate (who later takes on the name Thomas) tries to woo Lieutenant Troi - at the time when Thomas separated from Will, he and Troi were lovers. And for a while it seems to work out, until it becomes clear that Thomas wants to put his career first... just like Will did before. This comes up again in some of the Mirror Universe stories of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Sisko meets the counterpart of his dead wife, Jennifer, and Kira meets the counterpart to her dead lover, Vedek Bareil. Subverted when Geordi falls for a holodeck simulation of a famous scientist. Since this was back in the days when the franchise assumed holodeck characters to be nonsentient unless proven otherwise, he doesn't pursue it, but he's very happy to meet the real scientist... until it turns out she's nothing like her simulation, doesn't get along with him at all, and is outraged when she discovers he'd been flirting with a make-believe version of her. Also, she's married, something the computer that created the hologram failed to mention to Geordi. This later gets Double Subverted: the Flashforward scenes in the Grand Finale suggest they get together eventually, which is confirmed in the Star Trek Expanded Universe. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Played with in the first movie. Twilight Sparkle is sent to the human world and Humanity Ensues. During her adventure, she and a human named Flash Sentry become attracted to each other. At the end, when she returns home, she runs into Flash's pony counterpart, making her blush. Briefly played with in the third film, Friendship Games, before being deconstructed in the fourth (Legend of the Everfree). In the former, Flash Sentry meets the human Twilight Sparkle and believes her to be Princess Twilight, but she's too concerned with her research to even talk to him. He doesn't realize that she's a different Twilight until the end of the film. In the latter, he still tries to pursue a relationship with this knowledge, but is ultimately convinced by Sunset Shimmer, his ex-girlfriend, that he shouldn't because this Twilight is her own person that he doesn't have anything in common with and who is clearly interested in someone else. Right before she convinced him, Flash himself admits that he really can't get jealous seeing her bond with her own crush because of this. |

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003): Played With with Scar and Lust. Scar was in love with his brother's fiancée, who closely resembled Lust because Lust is a homunculus made from his brother's attempt to transmute his fiancée back to life. Scar's initial confusion over why Lust resembled his sister-in-law led to Lust attempting to manipulate him, but Scar rejected her, claiming the two were nothing alike in personality. This kickstarts Lust's character development and leads to her trying to become human with the Elrics' help. | |

Case Closed zigzags this with Shiratori's love life. He persistently pursues his childhood crush, Miwa, but she chooses Takagi over him. He eventually realizes that his childhood crush is not actually Miwa, but her Identical Stranger, Kobayashi-sensei, and pursues her instead. Their relationship does hit a snag when Kobayashi sees Miwa and hears of that Shiratori used to have a crush on the latter, and she starts avoiding him because she believes that he's just using her as a rebound. When Shiratori manages to convince her that she is his original crush, she accepts him. | |

In the film The One, Jet Li fights his Evil Twin from an alternate dimension. The evil Yulaw kills Gabe Law's wife, frames him, and tries to kill him to become a god. After much chop-sockey, Gabe Law ends up in a version of Los Angeles where the original copy of him has long since been killed off and meets a version of his former wife exactly as he did in his world. This was the plan by Jason Statham's character, who knew that sending him back to his own universe would result in him being put away for his wife's murder. | |

On Futurama, Fry (and the Professor and Bender) get hurtled into the future so far, they reach the end of the universe and watch a new, identical one come into existence. Fry gets together with the Leela from the universe after that one due to accidentally fast-forwarding and having no way to go back (after the native Fry is killed by their time-machine's arrival). Uncharacteristically for this trope, though, we actually get to see the original Leela spend the rest of her life miserable and alone. The same episode has the original Leela coping with the loss of Fry by marrying Cubert, a clone of his Identical Grandson Farnsworth, though the marriage doesn't last. Fry himself was this to Leela after her One True Love Lars Fillmore died and it was posthumously discovered that he was an older double of Fry created by a Temporal Paradox. |

Fate/Grand Order both deconstructs this and plays it straight. If you have Assassin EMIYA (a Kiritsugu who never met Irisviel and thus fell down the Despair Event Horizon and emotionally shutdown) and a Dress of Heaven (Irisviel bonded with the Holy Grail, essentially the same Irisviel from Fate/Zero), they can interact. Irisviel tries to reach out to Assassin EMIYA, but he angrily rejects her attempts because he's not the same Kiritsugu she knows and he doesn't believe he can have a chance at happiness anymore (nor does he want to). Regardless, one of his skills mentions that he is protected by love from the Holy Grail and his final ascension image shows him being embraced by an apparition of Irisviel — whose love for Kiritsugu reaches beyond the limits of space and time. Plus, there's the fact he still can't stop himself from watching over Irisviel alongside the versions of their daughter Illyasviel. In Lostbelt #3: SIN, the major motivation of Akuta Hinako AKA Yu Mei-ren is to reunite with her long-lost lover Xiang Yu, and so she treats the Lostbelt Xiang Yu the same way she would treat the Proper Human History version of him. While he is obviously confused why she would care for a war machine like him, he eventually comes to care for Yu Mei-ren all the same, and it certainly helps that his mindset is nigh identical to Proper Human History Xiang Yu given he could predict and understand his counterpart's decisions and actions like they were his own (including how they fell in love) with nothing but Yu's information on the time period and events that his Alternate Self lived through. |

Played with in Wonder Woman (1975) when the series's setting moved from WW2 to the (then) present day. WW's long-time Love Interest Steve Trevor had been established as an Army officer in the 1940s, so in order to have "him" around in The '70s, he had to be replaced by his identically-named son — both played by the same actor, of course. However, to avoid the awkwardness of Diana flirting with her ex's son, it's quickly established that she and Steve Jr. are just friends, and she has other unrelated romantic entanglements over the rest of the series. | |

Calvin loses his fictional love interest in Ruby Sparks, but finds an identical real-life counterpart at the end, played by the same actress with shorter hair. It seemed to be implied (and outright confirmed in the script) that it actually was still her, just a version of her that had been made independent from the story. |

Played straight Bedazzled (2000). Once Elliot finally finds the courage to approach Alison, the woman he's been pining for throughout the film, she turns out to already in a relationship. He gracefully accepts this and moves on, only to encounter another girl named Nikki moving in near his home, whose bubbly personality is a perfect match for his own, and who happens to be played by the same actress as Alison. | |

Meet Joe Black seriously inverts this trope. At the very beginning of the movie, Death takes on the aspect of a man who gets hit by a truck just after the female lead falls madly in love with him. Death then proceeds to fall in love with her, and at the end of the movie when he must leave to get back to work, he resurrects the real Love Interest to take his place. | |

Spider-Man: Spider-Man dealt with this during the original Clone Saga by Gerry Conway in The Amazing Spider-Man (1963). Peter, pining for Gwen after her death, meets Gwen's clone and his old feelings for her resurface. However, the returned Gwen is the Gwen as Peter remembers her but not the true Gwen, whereas his real feelings are for Mary Jane, an actual flesh-and-blood woman. According to Conway, the whole point was to demonstrate how unhealthy and sick grief can be and how our longing for The Lost Lenore comes from rejecting reality. | |

Doctor Who: Jackie Tyler became a widow while her daughter was a baby. In a parallel universe, Pete Tyler lost his wife during the Cybermen incident (and they never had any children). When the former ended up in the universe of the latter, the two paired up, meaning that each was the other's Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest. Furthermore, it doesn't take long for Pete to accept Rose as the daughter he never had and likewise. In "Journey's End", Rose gets her own Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest in the form of a half-human clone of the Doctor, who looks exactly like him and has all his memories, but who ages like a human and is willing to stay with her in the parallel world. |

Sort of used in Dark City — Emma Murdoch gets all her memories erased and she becomes Anna, and John Murdoch decides to start over with her. Justified, since their relationship beforehand was fake—Emma's memories of the marriage were no more real than Anna's past, and John had already lost his fake memories. So this replacement relationship is more real than the original one. | |

In Heir Apparent, the protagonist is trapped in a virtual reality game and ends up developing a bit of a crush on one of the characters. For obvious reasons, they can't exactly be together once she's escaped the game. Luckily he looks just like the game's Teen Genius creator, who shows up to apologize to the heroine personally and seems flattered that she liked the character based on him... | |

Averted in How the Light Gets In. Some time after Laurel's death, Dean tried to "make it work" with her Earth-2 counterpart and she even tried to lie to make it easier, but it failed because the two versions were just too different. Dean even thinks he could try with every single alternate version of her, and it would fail every time because it wouldn't be his Laurel. Also deconstructed, in that it's made clear even trying was a decidedly unhealthy choice. | |

Gantz: This is subverted with Kurono and Kishimoto. When Kishimoto died during a mission, Kurono thought to try and pursue her original that was still living a normal life. However, she ends up thinking Kurono is a nutty stalker and runs away from him. However, this trope is followed in relation to Kato and Kishimoto. It's implied that Kato has finally decided to get together with Kishimoto's original, and she seems to have taken a liking to him. And the manga does this to a T with Reika's very own Kurono, who she resurrects with this trope in mind. |

At the end of Sam & Max: Freelance Police: The Devil's Playhouse, Max is Killed Off for Real. The cutscene shows the devastated Sam leaving all his friends and walking aimlessly through the town. Suddenly, he sees the Time Travel elevator from Season Two and finds there Max from an Alternate Timeline, in which Sam is the one who died. After an awkward moment, they decide to resume their mischief and pretend none of this happened. By Poker Night 2, they remember the events with laughter, possibly blocking out the memory of losing their best friend. |

Kamelot's "The Haunting (Somewhere in Time)", off The Black Halo, deconstructs this trope. The protagonist, Ariel, tries to invoke this trope with Margarete, who closely resembles his First Love Helena, in the song "When the Lights Are Down", with some help from Mephisto. However, by "The Haunting", Ariel comes to his senses and realizes that he was merely projecting Helena onto Margarete, and the two part ways. | |

Briefly played with in the third film, Friendship Games, before being deconstructed in the fourth (Legend of the Everfree). In the former, Flash Sentry meets the human Twilight Sparkle and believes her to be Princess Twilight, but she's too concerned with her research to even talk to him. He doesn't realize that she's a different Twilight until the end of the film. In the latter, he still tries to pursue a relationship with this knowledge, but is ultimately convinced by Sunset Shimmer, his ex-girlfriend, that he shouldn't because this Twilight is her own person that he doesn't have anything in common with and who is clearly interested in someone else. Right before she convinced him, Flash himself admits that he really can't get jealous seeing her bond with her own crush because of this. | |

On the version the readers follow, Chromedome and Rewind's romance ends tragically when Rewind pulls a Heroic Sacrifice. On the "second", the entire crew save Rewind ends up massacred by the Decepticon Justice Division. When the two find each other, they end up resuming their relationship. However, the series is very careful to point out that neither one is a complete duplicate of the partner the other lost, and the way this affects their relationship is an important plot point after that. | |

Shen Qingqiu fires back that Bingge merely looks like Bingmei; his background forged him into a very different person, and Shen Qingqiu isn't interested in falling for this person, he wants his Binghe. | |

John Perry from Old Man's War is very upset by his wife's death. Near the end of the book he meets a special forces soldier who has a body cloned from his wife's DNA, who looks exactly like her. They end up together. That said, he is very much aware that Jane is not Katherine, merely sharing some of her DNA. | |

Played with in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Second Chances": Commander Will Riker's transporter duplicate (who later takes on the name Thomas) tries to woo Lieutenant Troi - at the time when Thomas separated from Will, he and Troi were lovers. And for a while it seems to work out, until it becomes clear that Thomas wants to put his career first... just like Will did before. | |
