First-Episode Spoiler	comment	The First Episode Spoiler is a specific type of plot twist in which the first episode of a series contains a plot twist which comes as a surprise to viewers who have just started watching, but immediately goes on to become an important plot point or premise to the series. As such, it may be hard (and in many cases impossible) to describe the series without completely ruining the suspense during the first episode. This is most common in plot-driven series, although it can occasionally be found in the pilot episodes of premise-based series. For a literary example to qualify, the twist should take place within the first few chapters, or else it becomes a regular plot twist. In media such as manga or comic books, the practice of Writing for the Trade might mean the twist does not take place within the very first issue; it should still be very early in the work. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })If a First Episode Spoiler is at the end of a book or series and is ruined by subsequent installations, then it becomes Late-Arrival Spoiler. First Episode Spoilers are prone to being ruined by trailer or opening credits for the series. Some shows use a shorter, or completely absent opening in the first episode in order to avoid this. If there are Powers in the First Episode, this becomes exponentially more likely. Contrast with All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game" and/or compare with It Was His Sled, where the spoiler doubles as being known to all the late-arrival viewers. Compare Late-Arrival Spoiler and Mid-Season Twist. This is a spoilers trope, so consider yourself warned.

First-Episode Spoiler / int_1133352a	comment	Terminator: The fact that its title-character is a time-traveling cyborg and its reasons for targeting all women named Sarah Connor, to prevent the birth of her future son, John Connor. Then there's the entire Stable Time Loop that the first and second film sets up regarding Kyle Reese being John's father and the Terminators being both the precursors to Skynet (both directly as agents and indirectly when Cyberdine builds upon their remnants) as well as things Skynet invented in the future. The sequel makes an early spoiler/twist out of the second Terminator of the same model being the good guy and the new face being the bad guy, not another resistance fighter. It's difficult to tell in retrospect that they were trying to keep a lid on the idea that Ah-nuld is supposed to be the good guy this time around.

The couple that walks into Quindecim is dead. The bartender is an arbiter, and the games are created with the sole intent of bringing out the true colors of the players in question and judging whether they will go to "heaven" (really reincarnation) or to "hell" (being sent to a void for all of eternity).

First-Episode Spoiler / int_32e7b181	comment	The very first joke in Unhappily Ever After is one of these. Jenny is saying goodbye to a man, talking about how even though the divorce is over, they've been through so much, and they can still be friends, on the most harmonious of terms, etc. Then it turns out that, ha ha, the man is her divorce lawyer, not her ex-husband, and of course she's not going to be that friendly with her ex-husband. But of course, if you've ever seen any other episode of the show, you are already familiar with the ex-husband, for he's a main character (Jack, played by Geoff Pierson). So the joke is based on making the viewer think that the man is her ex-husband, but of course this requires that you haven't seen any of the rest of the show. Or other sources of information (like the trailers advertising the show!) that would let you know which characters are which.

First-Episode Spoiler / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball has an interesting case, where Chapter 197 (or episode 155 in the anime overall) drops the bombshell that Goku is an alien from another planet who was originally sent to conquer Earth, only to receive a head injury which resulted in him becoming a gentle soul. At the time this was a swerve as massive as learning that Goku had a son only a few pages/minutes earlier. The trick is that in the anime series, this was covered as the second episode of Dragon Ball Z, and today Z is far more popular than Dragon Ball. Outside of Japan this is compounded by the franchise not taking off until Z was first aired, and the ViZ adaptation titled that half of the story with Z as well.

Then after spending seven minutes of appearing to be a zombie Survival Horror in the vein of the above mentioned School-Live!, the loud and brash Kotaro strides into the scene declaring that Sakura and the other zombies will be a new idol group, finally revealing the show's true identity as a wacky Horror Comedy idol series.

These characters are a man whose wife goes into labor with triplets, a disillusioned actor and his twin sister, and a black man confronting the biological father who abandoned him (the three other birthday celebrants are white). Only in the last scene is it revealed that the triplet childbirth takes place in 1980; the other three characters are the adult children in 2016, the couple having adopted an abandoned baby when one of the triplets didn't survive.

First-Episode Spoiler / int_8fc34308	comment	In the premiere of Public Morals it is established that the cops of NYPD's Public Morals Division and The Irish Mob have a very cozy "arrangement" and great care is taken so that nothing disrupts it. The relationship is further highlighted by the fact that Mr. O, a local Irish gangster, is the father of Sean O'Bannon and uncle of Terry Muldoon, two cops working for PMD. He is killed in the final moments of the first episode and the beginning of the second episode reveals that the murder was committed by Rusty Patton, the son of The Don of The Irish Mob. Everything the first episode set up is about to be turned upside down as the O'Bannon and Muldoon clans seek revenge.

Now he is a "Torch," a false person created with the existential residue which helps maintain the balance of the world by burning out slowly rather than vanishing all at once. What kind of Torch (and which specific kind of that subtype) he is is also revealed quite soon (at the end of the first story arc), and keeps the story going, since him burning out would most likely end the story, or at least change the genre.

It's difficult to describe the plot of the novel to newcomers without mentioning that the closest thing identifiable as a protagonist at the beginning gets knifed within pages of taking on his commission as Captain of the Bridgeburners. Fortunately, and similarly spoilerific, he survives, but it's immensely important for the further plot progression. Similarly, Deadhouse Gates, the second book in the series, introduces a new setting and as soon as Chapter 5, Sha'ik, leader of the Whirlwind Rebellion, is shot in the head on the brink of starting said rebellion. Seeing as the rebellion still is led by a seer named Sha'ik until its end, this comes as quite a shock to anyone not in the know. Also, House of Chains in the same series gives us the new character Karsa Orlong, who is revealed to be Toblakai from Deadhouse Gates at the end of the first of four sections in the book.

Also, many serials had a surprise twist at the end of their first episode (usually the reveal of the villain/alien/monster) that were central to the rest of the story. These are almost always spoiled by the DVD cover now. This is most obvious with serials where the Master was the villain, particularly during Anthony Ainley's tenure. Since the Master was a Master of Disguise, he'd spend most of the first episode or two in heavy makeup and they even used a pseudonym in the closing credits. Now he's on the cover. For example, it wasn't until the second episode of the second serial we got to meet the mysterious inhabitants of the mysterious apparently deserted city on a planet covered with radiation. They're called the Daleks. And that serial is now named after them.

Throughout the first episode, it's also left up in the air as to whether Regina's Storybrooke counterpart is as evil as the Enchanted Forest one - as she's presented as a concerned but well-meaning stepmother. The end of the episode has her taking the gloves off, as she becomes the antagonist of the first season. The Season 3 premiere has Henry finding a Lost Boy played by Robbie Kaye, who appears to be trying to escape from Peter Pan and the others. It's not until the end of the episode that he's revealed to be Peter Pan - and the main antagonist of the season.

Furthermore, the fact that Phoenix is no longer a lawyer and is the defendant in the first case of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. You probably could've figured that out from the trailer too. Also from Apollo Justice, the first case sets up Kristoph Gavin as Apollo's boss and mentor, much like Mia Fey from the first game. By the end of the case, it turns out that Kristoph is the murderer, and Apollo ends up going to work for Phoenix instead.

Kaylee also gets shot, and there's a big fakeout where Mal tells Simon she died - only to reveal she's alive and well. Jewel Staite being part of the main cast would give this away. To make matters worse, the pilot wasn't actually the first episode Fox showed. There's a reason fans accuse the network of assassinating the series.

Perhaps more surprising is nearly the entire introduced senior staff of the ship (including the First Officer, Chief Medical Officer, Navigator, and Chief Engineer) being killed off before even the midpoint of the pilot episode. Several apparent guest characters (the crew of another ship, the convict acting as their guide, the two aliens they meet) end up becoming the new senior staff. Also, the fact that Tuvok is The Mole among the Maquis crew is obvious to anyone who has seen another episode the moment Janeway mentions her chief of security is undercover there.

However the show manages to make it a Subverted Trope with the first scene of the pilot. Most people know that Walt "breaks bad" and starts cooking methamphetamine before they watch the series, and expect the first scene of the pilot, with its intense action to be a flashforward to a much later part of the series, even the final scene. However that scene is reached well before the end of the pilot, and the series progresses far past that point. Even if someone has had the plot completely spoiled for them, the first scene of the pilot would still throw them for a loop (unless one of the main things they remembered was Bryan Cranston losing his hair).

He looks like he's set up to be her love interest, until he's revealed to be a warlock and therefore the first enemy the Halliwells have to vanquish. Him not being part of the main cast would make this twist a little more obvious to new viewers. The Season 3 premiere introduces a District Attorney Cole Turner as a potential love interest to Phoebe. Then it's revealed he's a demon. A huge part of his character is Phoebe's love swaying him from his mission. Season 4 introduces a new character played by Rose McGowan right after Prue is Killed Off for Real. It's not until halfway through the premiere that she's revealed as their half-sister - and therefore a potential Charmed One. There's also genuine doubt as to what side she'll choose when she gets her powers. Naturally Paige being a series regular for five more seasons would give this away.
