Social situations, workplace etiquette, and interpersonal relationships are rife with opportunities for people to embarrass themselves. And then there are people who will seek to deliberately embarrass someone else. Enter a savior, sometimes a friend, sometimes a stranger, who steps in to mitigate or alleviate the source of embarrassment, sometimes before someone even has time to be embarrassed or by flipping it on an aggressor, often an Alpha Bitch. Their motives may vary. They could be trying to protect a family member or save The Ingenue from embarrassment. They could be sympathetic, having experienced something like it themselves. They may simply see the offense as a non-issue and feel others are treating it as a Felony Misdemeanor. In some cases, they may even cover, taking the blame themselves. Can happen in an Embarrassment Plot. Often leads to Heartwarming Moments. |

Zoe pretends that Rue helped her so Rue doesn't have to find an excuse to hide the fact that she's late because she almost got killed, if not for Zoe's timely rescue. | |

Spy X Family: In this (fandubbed) fan-comic originally by artist Nanagi, Twilight and several WISE agents discuss their next move after they failed to make Donovan Desmond stop his plans to restart the Westalis-Ostania War, and who escaped after leaving, the now teen-aged, Damian behind. Anya is brought in to WISE H.Q. To talk to Damian, and when she enters the room he's in, he tells her he has not valuable information to give them, and yells at her to yells at her to leave him alone since no one wants him anyway. Anya starts to cry and calls Damian an idiot for pretending to not care about anything, but she knows he's devastated because he worked so hard to excel in school so that Donovan would acknowledge him, and even love him, only for Donovan to cast him aside as collateral when the situation called for it. Damian breaks down and tearfully holds onto Anya, saying he'll never let her go since she's the only person who's shown him any affection. Anya and Damian come out of the room, and Damian gets a drink of water, and when Twilight notices Anya's chest is wet, she figures Damian doesn't want to be embarrassed by people knowing he was crying, so she proudly proclaims "it's Sy-On Boy's saliva!" Which makes Damian choke on his water and for Twilight's Loid Forger persona to wonder what exactly were they doing in that room. | |

The Order of the Stick: When Elan is kidnapped by a bandit clan, Roy initially refuses to help the rest of the party rescue him (since he sees Elan as The Load), and only joins the rescue much later after having a Heel Realization moment. Elan notices this and asks Roy about it after the rescue is over. Roy struggles to come up with a response so Haley lies to Elan that Roy came up with a complex rescue plan and the party's first rescue attempt was only to distract the bandits so Roy could enact the real rescue. Fortunately, Elan buys it. | |

Star Trek Star Trek: The Original Series: "This Side of Paradise" After Kirk deliberately provokes Spock to anger to kill alien spores manipulating him. Spock says that striking a fellow officer is a court martial offense. It's clear Spock is embarrassed by his emotional behavior, no matter how involuntary. Kirk reasons, logically as Spock notes, that if they're both in the brig no one can build the device needed to free the rest of the crew. "Amok Time" has Spock in the grip of blood fever during a bout of pon farr. Spock explains the situation to Kirk and McCoy, who both tell him that they'll never tell another soul about the private information he's divulged to them. This is especially poignant for the Doctor, as he and Spock are Vitriolic Best Buds, and it would be easy for him to mock Spock over it, but he never does. Star Trek: The Next Generation: In one of her more generous gestures, in "Up The Long Ladder", after Worf passed out on duty from a childhood malady he considers embarrassing, Dr. Pulaski covers for Worf by telling Picard that it was due to ritual fasting. |

M*A*S*H: Hawkeye and Trapper (later BJ) did this for Frank a few times. In the episode "Sniper", Hawkeye finds Frank cowering when the camp is pinned down by the titular sniper. When Frank asks Hawkeye what he intends to tell Margaret, Hawkeye tells him that if they're both lucky, he won't run into her. In the episode "Hey, Doc", the 4077 gets a tank on loan. Frank, deciding to impress Margaret, takes it for a joy ride and destroys part of the camp in the process. When he finally stops it, Hawkeye and BJ cover for him...to blackmail him. |

Secondhand Lions: Word of God is that this is done mutually between the Brothers McCann and Walter when they try to get him to return to their farm. They tell him that they have better maps than the one he's using at the farm, and since, as Hub notes, Walter irritates the relatives seeking their money to no end, Walter offers to stay long enough to annoy the hangers-on into leaving. This allows Walter to return without it looking like he was upset about his mother, and without the McCann brothers looking like they missed his company. | |

"Just Add Water": When a model who asked Quinn out on a date fails to show, Daria covers for Quinn by telling the Fashion Club that he'd called to say he was working late (which ironically turns out to be true later). "Mart of Darkness": A box store employee who has been ducking Daria and Jane all episode long is revealed to be Andrea, who frets that the duo will now mock the goth girl whose parents forced her to get a job. Daria and Jane promise not to say anything to anyone, as all they wanted was to find the gummy bears. |

Tiny Toon Adventures: In "Prom-ise Her Anything", Buster Bunny decides to copy the dance done by Bugs Bunny in "Hot Cross Bunny" (one of the original Looney Tunes shorts), in an attempt to hide the fact he doesn't know how to dance. When he actually performs the dance during the prom, however, everyone stares at him and his date Babs is aghast and embarrassed. Luckily, Bugs steps in and performs the dance too, leading the others to think Buster has just begun a new dance craze and getting them to join in too. In "Henny Youngman Day", Babs Bunny signs up to do stand-up comedy. She ends up suffering from Performance Anxiety due to having to go after an Expy of Robin Williams. Realizing they messed up by not having him be the closing act, he returns to the stage to perform a doubles act with Babs, winning the audience over and restoring her confidence. |

In the Transformers: Animated episode "Return of the Headmaster", Sentinel is decapitated (which isn't fatal because he's a Cybertronian) by the Headmaster, who steals his now headless body. Sentinel practically begs Optimus to cover for him, as if the other Autobots found out (especially Ultra Magnus), it could ruin his entire career. Optimus, despite having every reason not to, helps Sentinel and covers for him when Ultra Magnus asks about the incident. This same trope was averted by Sentinel earlier in the series, as he could have done the same for Optimus and prevented him from having his career destroyed, but said nothing. Optimus points this out. |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: After Rowley is forced by a group of older bullies to eat "The Cheese" (a piece of moldy cheese on the playground that became infamous at the school), students are suspicious of where it went. Wanting to save his friend the humiliation of what happened (as well as try and rekindle the friendship), Greg claims that he got sick of the Cheese and threw it away, causing the students to be grossed out by him instead of Rowley. In the film adaptation, the students are aware that the Cheese has been partially eaten and begin to turn on Rowley until Greg steps in and claims he ate it, once again directing the embarrassment towards himself instead of his friend. |

Babylon 5: Helping another save face is one of the few situations where Minbari culture allows one to lie. Seen most obviously in "The Quality of Mercy", when Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari is caught cheating at cards with his prehensile genitals leading to a bar brawl, a Minbari, Lennier is willing to take the blame for the fight. Which gets a Call-Back in "There All The Honor Lies" when commander Sheridan is accused of murdering a Minbari warrior and Londo mentions that a Minbari once lied to preserve his honor. | |
