The story of a character in the present day is interspersed with flashbacks telling a linear story of past events of the same character's life, as a form of Backstory. The flashbacks may be prompted by various related objects or situations in the present. This can be done with multiple characters as well, with each flashback focusing on their experience in the same time period, or with each flashback being connected by a similar theme. Two flashbacks to the same subject matter throughout an episode can be considered the downplayed version of this trope. Unlike frame stories, this trope does not involve anyone narrating the story In-Universe. Compare San Dimas Time, where due to Time Travel, two plotlines in two different times occur "simultaneously". Subtrope to Anachronic Order, Meanwhile, in the Future…, Two Lines, No Waiting, and often Flashback Echo. Can be considered a variation of How We Got Here. Transitions may involve Age Cut. Inverted when the B-plot is Flash Forwards instead of flashbacks. See also Simultaneous Arcs and Whole Episode Flashback. Examples |

In Finding Dory, at the same time that Dory, Marlin, and Nemo are traveling in search of Dory's parents, the audience learns through flashbacks about Dory's old life with her parents at the Marine Life Institute, how she ended up accidentally getting herself separated from them, and how she spent her life wandering in the ocean before finally meeting up with Marlin for the very first time during the original Finding Nemo movie. | |

Tuca & Bertie: "Sleepovers" juxtaposes the present story, where Tuca leaves Bertie home alone to hang out with her new girlfriend Kara, with a story taking place five years ago when Bertie met Speckle and Tuca was right by her side. This contrasts how Speckle was very accepting of Tuca as being part of his girlfriend's life, while Kara is possessive and wants Tuca to spend time with her instead of Bertie. | |

Spanning Time explores the world of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky through the eyes of Grovyle. The tale cuts between flashbacks detailing his history and the 'here and now' smack in the middle of Explorers' plot, fleshing out the details and providing an interesting take on Grovyle's past. | |

BoJack Horseman: "The Telescope" has BoJack visiting his ex-best friend and creator of Horsin' Around Herb Kazzaz, who is dying of cancer. A good chunk of the episode also shows flashbacks of Herb and BoJack in the 80's and 90's to explain what ruined their friendship: when Herb successfully sold Horsin' Around, when Herb was outed as gay and subsequently fired, and BoJack not sticking up for him. "The Old Sugarman Place" follows two stories taking place at the eponymous Michigan home. The A-plot has BoJack, having impulsively fled Los Angeles, spend a year fixing up the abandoned house with help from his new neighbor. The B-plot flashes back to the 1940s, when BoJack's mother Beatrice spent summers there with her family, and the trauma that her family endured when she was still a child.note While it's true the two stories don't focus on the same character, Flashback Effects are used enough times to consider it this trope rather than Meanwhile, in the Future…. "The Amelia Earhart Story" has Princess Carolyn go back to her hometown of South Carolina, bonding with a pregnant teenager so Princess Carolyn can adopt her baby. As she looks around her hometown, we see her backstory unfold, depicting her dependent relationship with her mother and how she underwent a traumatic Teen Pregnancy and her first miscarriage. "Mr. Peanutbutter's Boos" has four stories going on simultaneously, each following one of Mr. Peanutbutter's Halloween parties from four different years (1993, 2004, 2009, and the present 2018), with him dating a different girl in each year. |

The first five seasons of Arrow alternate between the present day and the five years that Oliver Queen spent on the island of Lian Yu (but also Hong Kong and Russia, unknown to everyone else) that turned him into the vigilante we see at the start of the series. The episode "Odyssey" put most of its emphasis on events on the island. The episode "The Undertaking" didn't use the island at all but did focus on events surrounding the sinking of the Queen's Gambit and Moira's involvement with Tempest. "The Promise", like "Odyssey" focuses more on the island than on the present. Inverted in Seasons 7 and 8, which alternates between the present and Flash Forwards to the future, which follow the children of the members of Team Arrow. |

CSI: NY: The show's 10th anniversary tribute to the victims and heroes of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, "Indelible", is interspersed with flashbacks of most of the main characters' whereabouts on that fateful day and their reactions to the tragedy as each one's memory, in turn, is triggered by something in the present-day action. The two whose actions aren't actually shown share a conversation about it instead. A few examples: Mac cuts himself shaving in the present day and recalls having done so exactly 10 years before. Later, he boards a bus and remembers riding one to work that morning with his wife Claire, who perished in the attacks. Sid, the coroner, flashes back to helping with the victims as he writes the current date (9/11/11) on a toe tag. Standing on the sidewalk, Jo sees dark smoke from a diesel truck and remembers seeing smoke at the Pentagon from the window of her then-office in D.C. |

Highlander: The Series made a habit of this. Almost every episode featured flashbacks to earlier times in Duncan's life. In most cases the flashbacks were to his previous encounters with the villain-of-the-week, but in a few episodes, such as "The Samurai" and "They Also Serve", Duncan was remembering events that had nothing to do with the villain. | |

The main story of Memento sees Leonard interacting with people around town, while the secondary story consists of shorter black and white scenes of him in his room mostly talking about his memory condition, either on the phone with someone or to himself in Second-Person Narration.

Notably the last scene of the two brothers together: Ho-tian holding on Jia-hao's corpse and telling him not to die, while intersect with a Match Cut depicting a flashback of Ho-tian (as a child) holding a feverish, seriously ill Jia-hao (ditto) telling his younger brother to wake up. | |

The Flash (2014): "Things You Can't Outrun" includes three flashbacks to the night of the particle accelerator explosion, each time entering the story from a different character's perspective. "Tricksters" shows what really happened with the Reverse-Flash and Harrison Wells after the former killed Barry's mother. "The Trap" is somewhat of a Sequel Episode to "Things You Can't Outrun", in that it uses a similar format to show the time when Barry was in a coma (which was right after the accelerator explosion). A deleted scene would have added another flashback to the episode, from Caitlin's point of view. "Therefore I Am" shows us us Clifford DeVoe's origins on the night of the accelerator explosion and the aftermath. "O Come All Ye Thankful" gives us Cicada's origin story in a similar manner, showing us his relationship with his niece and how he received powers from a satellite from the Enlightenment, which also injured his niece. |

Lost: Most episodes have flashbacks as the B-story, focusing on a single character's life before they ended up on the island, usually thematically connected to the A-story. In later seasons, the flashbacks are sometimes replaced with flashforwards, showing future events, and flash-sideways, which depict the characters in an alternate reality. The episode "The Constant" plays with this. Desmond's mind is constantly being pulled forwards and backwards through time, making the version of him present in the flashbacks the same man who's already experienced things in the A-plot. |

In the My Hero Academia fanfics Hero Class Civil Warfare and Locked In Digital, the main plot (the eponymous exam in the former, and Izuku trying to live a normal life in the latter) is interspersed with past events (the 7 day prep of the villain team and Izuku going through his nearly year long deadly simulation run) within the same chapters. | |

3 Idiots focuses on the eponymous three idiots in the past and the future (separated by a five-year gap), but it's really more about the characters' lives as college students in the past, with occasional cuts to the future. Case in point, all of the film's musical numbers happen in the past. | |

A couple of Futurama episodes focus on a story taking place in the 30th century while also following a story from Fry's life in the 20th century. "The Luck of the Fryrish" has Fry track down his lucky seven-leaf clover from when he was a child, while also flashing back to his life growing up with his brother Yancy, who Fry suspects stole his clover and his identity after Fry went missing. "Jurassic Bark" has Fry discover a fossil of his dog Seymour, while also showing the story of how Fry met Seymour. "Cold Warriors" has an A-plot following an outbreak of the formerly-eradicated common cold in New New York, and a B-plot flashing back to Fry entering a science fair planning to send an infected guinea pig to space to preserve the common cold. The plots come together when they need a sample of the cold for a vaccine, and they retrieve a sample created by... the kid Fry lost to. |

Arrowverse: The first five seasons of Arrow alternate between the present day and the five years that Oliver Queen spent on the island of Lian Yu (but also Hong Kong and Russia, unknown to everyone else) that turned him into the vigilante we see at the start of the series. The episode "Odyssey" put most of its emphasis on events on the island. The episode "The Undertaking" didn't use the island at all but did focus on events surrounding the sinking of the Queen's Gambit and Moira's involvement with Tempest. "The Promise", like "Odyssey" focuses more on the island than on the present. Inverted in Seasons 7 and 8, which alternates between the present and Flash Forwards to the future, which follow the children of the members of Team Arrow. The Flash (2014): "Things You Can't Outrun" includes three flashbacks to the night of the particle accelerator explosion, each time entering the story from a different character's perspective. "Tricksters" shows what really happened with the Reverse-Flash and Harrison Wells after the former killed Barry's mother. "The Trap" is somewhat of a Sequel Episode to "Things You Can't Outrun", in that it uses a similar format to show the time when Barry was in a coma (which was right after the accelerator explosion). A deleted scene would have added another flashback to the episode, from Caitlin's point of view. "Therefore I Am" shows us us Clifford DeVoe's origins on the night of the accelerator explosion and the aftermath. "O Come All Ye Thankful" gives us Cicada's origin story in a similar manner, showing us his relationship with his niece and how he received powers from a satellite from the Enlightenment, which also injured his niece. The Constantine episode "Quid Pro Quo" has the A plot in which Constantine tries to save Chas's daughter, and the B plot which is a flashback to when Constantine accidentally made Chas semi-immortal. |

Forever has this in pretty much every episode, since Henry has been around for over two hundred years and every current situation reminds him of something in his past. A few flashbacks are only long enough to provide insight into characters rather than fully-fledged B-plots. One flashback from Adam's point of view shows the horrific treatment he received from Dr. Josef Mengele but doesn't actually have a plot, only relevance to the current-day situation. | |

In the mini-series The Prisoner (2009), the protagonist resigns from his job working for an intelligence organisation in New York, and shortly afterward finds himself trapped in a mysterious and isolated Village. As the A-plot follows his investigation of the Village, occasional scenes show his actions back in New York immediately following his resignation, apparently leading up to showing how he ended up in the Village at the beginning of the series. It turns out that, due to the supernatural nature of the Village, the protagonist is simultaneously in the Village and still in New York, and the scenes in New York aren't flashbacks, but are happening at the same time as the other events of the series. | |

Sunstroke: The film plays out in two narrative tracks. In the first one the protagonist, a nameless lieutenant, is stuck in a prisoner-of-war pen in 1920, because he fought on the losing side in the Russian Civil War. This is intercut with a series of flashbacks to a much happier time for the lieutenant, back in 1907 when he took a luxury cruise down the Volga River and made love with a beautiful woman. | |
