Quite simply— When a character's life seems to 'jump'. They are at work and then suddenly they are at home (or perhaps even right in the middle of some really weird, inexplicable, and/or disturbing event), with no memories of what happened in between and no context for what they are currently doing. Sometimes the memories will come back in the form of flashbacks. In essence, this is basically when a Smash Cut is treated as a diegetic event. This can happen for many reasons— memory damage, aliens, trauma, possession, or multiple personalities, just to name a few. Truth in Television, black outs, that is alcohol-induced amnesia, have let many people hear great stories about themselves after they woke up in completely different places for decades. Also occurs in those that have Dissociative Identity Disorder, waking up to find themselves in different places than they originally were doing something completely different from what they last recall. What Did I Do Last Night? is the lighter and/or more comedic version of this trope, usually related to drinking too much (see also Binge Montage). See also Alternate Identity Amnesia, a supernatural cause for Missing Time. Differs from other amnesia tropes in that only a few minutes or hours goes missing. Compare Time Skip. |

In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, the fourth chapter had everyone enter a virtual world. Gonta Gokuhara ended up mixing up two wires they had to plug into their headset prior to logging in, and so experienced this when everyone logged out after Miu Iruma was killed, having no memory of anything that happened while in the virtual world. They're very confused afterwards, especially when Kokichi Oma eventually reveals during the fourth trial that Gonta murdered Miu. | |

House: Happens to one of the vict—- patients of the week. Happens in the Season 2 finale when House himself, while walking down a stairs, realizes he can't remember what happened between being in his office and walking down the stairs. Some have interpreted this as House gaining temporary Medium Awareness, as the show cuts directly from the office to the stairs; the interim is not depicted. |

Taken: Every time that someone is abducted by the aliens, they are returned to Earth hours or even days later with little to no memory of anything that happened in the meantime. However, some of them have vague impressions of what happened to them aboard the ships or have their memories recovered by hypnotherapy. Their stories give rise to all of the urban legends about Alien Abduction. | |

In Hannibal, Will Grahams starts losing time as his mental health deteriorates. He's even more disturbed to discover that during these periods he acts so much like he normally does that an entire team of experienced FBI workers didn't notice anything wrong the first time. It turns out the real reason is physical neurological damage due to encephalitis, but Hannibal makes him believe it's purely psychological. | |

In Trigun, Vash the Stampede has a bit of a problem with this whenever his more high-level powers get unlocked, until he learns to do it on purpose. Since both this incidents involve psychic powers being used to make him blow up a city with his right arm, which transforms into a BFG for the purpose, it's unclear whether the cause of these gaps is the psychic trauma, the emotional trauma, the physiological trauma, or the combination. | |

Supernatural: In "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part One" (S02, Ep21), the trope is Played Straight for Sam who wakes up the next day in Cold Oak, South Dakota. But it is a Subverted Trope for Ava, who pretends not to realize that 5 months have passed, so that the others will not realize what she has become. Played for Black Comedy when Dean is apparently abducted by a UFO. On his return he's rather annoyed to find Soulless Sam in bed with a Girl of the Week instead of desperately searching for his missing brother. Sam has to explain that Dean has been gone all night, not just for the past hour as he believes. During the first half of Season 9, this keeps happening to Sam because he's possessed by an angel. The "blackouts" happen when the angel temporarily takes control of his body. |

In the Star Trek: Millennium trilogy, it's revealed that neither Odo, Quark nor Garak can recall what happened the night of the Cardassian withdrawal from Terok Nor. It's a classic case of missing time. Quark is the only one who will admit it, though. His attempt to find answers irritates Odo and Garak, who refuse to discuss or acknowledge that they're in the same situation. | |

Moon Knight: The first episode makes heavy use of this, as Steven Grant suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder, and often loses several minutes - or even hours - when Marc Spector takes over. Every time Steven 'skips' forward, he's utterly terrified (it probably doesn't help that the skips seen tend to involve him being attacked by Harrow's cultists). | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "Future Imperfect", Riker gets infected by an amnesia-inducing virus and comes to 16 years later with no memory of the previous decade and a half, during which time he's become captain of the Enterprise, married, and had a son. Subverted when this turns out to be a Faked Rip Van Winkle orchestrated by a lonely alien boy. In the episode "Schisms", Riker and others are sedated at night, pulled into an alternate dimension, operated on, and returned before morning, causing them to wonder where the night went, and why they're so tired. Happened to Data as well during the day, which helped the crew realize something was wrong — as an android, it should be impossible for him to lose track of time. Happens again to the Crew of the Enterprise-D in Clues, they find that a whole day seems to be missing and Data is acting very strangely and disobeying orders. Star Trek: Enterprise. The crew rescue Rajiin, an alien being kept as a Sex Slave. She tries to show her gratitude to the captain, only for this trope to happen instead. Turns out she's actually a spy who can physically scan a person, then remove memories of her doing this. |

Thanks to copious drug use, Abe in Kid Detective (2020) frequently doesn't know what time or day of the week it is. This causes problems when he forgets that it is the weekend and thinks people will be at work, and instead finds them at home when he is snooping around their houses. | |

Danganronpa: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Both the serial killer Genocide Jack and their split personality Toko Fukawa experience this. Poor kid. This becomes a plot point for the last trial, when Makoto realizes that even if Toko's memories of what happened to the world are gone, Jack might still know. This occurred when Mondo killed Chihiro, even though they immediately knew what they had done from the body lying on the floor at their feet. In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, the fourth chapter had everyone enter a virtual world. Gonta Gokuhara ended up mixing up two wires they had to plug into their headset prior to logging in, and so experienced this when everyone logged out after Miu Iruma was killed, having no memory of anything that happened while in the virtual world. They're very confused afterwards, especially when Kokichi Oma eventually reveals during the fourth trial that Gonta murdered Miu. |

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code: In Chapter 4, Yuma comes across a phrase called "The Blank Week Mystery" that's related to Kanai Ward's Ultimate Secret, where everyone in Kanai Ward woke up one day mysteriously missing a week of time, and several people had mysteriously disappeared without a trace. The cause? Everyone in Kanai Ward was killed and replaced by their homunculus clone. The homunculi are defective, and go into a berserk frenzy when exposed to sunlight. In this frenzied state, they broke out of the facility where they were created and slaughtered their way across the city until Makoto created the rain cloud machine to block out the sun, restoring their sanity. The homunculi had no memory of their creation or rampage, and only had the memories of their human counterparts up to the point of DNA sampling, which was a week ago. As such, they thought they were the humans they replaced, and just picked up their lives where they left off, thoroughly confused by how they all seemingly fell asleep for a whole week and eventually deciding to just forget about the whole thing and make it a taboo topic to discuss. The people who "disappeared" were those who refused to participate in the mandatory city-wide "blood test" that was used as a pretext to get everyone's DNA. They were presumably killed along with everyone else, but had no homunculus to replace them. | |

The Kakashi Way: During a discussion with Inoichi, Kakashi learns that he recently discovered evidence that Danzo sent his father Sakumo on a Suicide Mission, then orchestrated the social shunning and isolation that led to Sakumo being Driven to Suicide. Kakashi promptly blanks out; the only thing he's vaguely able to recall after coming back to himself is smashing through a wall with Chidori. Inoichi proves remarkably chipper about the affair, despite the fact that Kakashi can tell just by looking at him that he left him in quite the state. | |

Doctor Who: Happens to Donna in "Forest of the Dead" while she's stuck in a virtual reality. Though in her case, time really DOES jump: she experiences the cuts between different locations, and people just tell her that it's her memory playing tricks. Unexplained skips are a frequently clue that a character has suffered memory alteration of some sort. It's particularly noticeable in Season 6 of the new series, when the Doctor and companions face off against the Silents, beings that erase your memory of them the instant you are no longer looking at them. This is played for copious Paranoia Fuel toward the end of the season, with characters abruptly realizing that they've moved, or fought, with no memory of having done so. |

It's very obvious that this is the case when Yami Bakura suddenly relinquishes control during his duel with Yugi in the second season. Poor Bakura is completely bewildered, having suddenly woken up on top of a blimp with a bleeding arm, with apparently no idea how he got there and why. Also, this happened to Yugi during the early volumes of the manga whenever he got possessed by the puzzle. | |

The 4400: Kyle is so afflicted in Season Two. In "Weight of the World", he goes to a fraternity party and has a few beers. The next thing that he knows, he is outside of a store with a broken window several hours later. He is promptly arrested but Tom "plays the NTAC card" and he is released. In "Suffer the Children", he experiences another blackout while on campus with Danny and suddenly finds himself in his kitchen pouring a glass of orange juice. He ignores the advice of both Danny and his English professor Wendy Paulson to tell Tom what is happening to him as he does not want to spend any more time in quarantine. In "As Fate Would Have It", he attends a concert with Danny. In the middle of it, he has another blackout. He finds himself digging a hole. After yet another blackout, he is in the corridor outside Wendy's apartment. She is unsurprisingly creeped out by his presence. When he tries to explain what happened the next day, Wendy advises him to seek professional help. In the final scene, Kyle throws a gun into a lake, revealing that he is the assassin of Jordan Collier. At the end of "Carrier", Kyle recovers all of his previously missing memories. |

Once Upon a Time does this a few times thanks in part to several castings of the Dark Curse, which are often laced with Laser-Guided Amnesia. The second half of Season 3 is built around this premise, with a second Dark Curse cast with the main cast having no idea what happened during the year they were back in the Enchanted Forest. The flashback B-plots often fill in what happened during this missing year before the endgame of the season reveals that Snow White cast the Dark Curse in order to reach Emma, but the Arc Villain threw in a forgetting potion to ensure they don't try to reach her in time. In the season five premiere "The Dark Swan" the main characters travel to Camelot in order to find Emma in order to free her from the Dark One's power. They find her and promise to save her with Emma, determined not to succumb to the evil inside her, entrusting the Dark One's dagger to Regina in order to allow her to maintain control in case the worst happens. As everyone is led into the castle, they suddenly wake up back in Storybrooke with no memories from that point on. They find out six weeks have passed and Emma has fully embraced her darkness and regained the dagger, telling everyone else they failed to save her. The following episodes show flashbacks detailing what happened during the missing six weeks. |

The main cast after the Worlds Collide story arc due to undoing the Cosmic Retcon. Mega Man has several hours of blank memory and his first thought is whether or not the world is okay, but otherwise he has no memory of the events that just took place. Dr. Wily feels like he's lost at least a month of memory and has a strange desire to stomp on eggs, but quickly drops the matter. | |

In Dr. Franklin's Island, the castaways try to keep track of how long it's been since the plane crashed and stranded them by cutting notches into a palm tree. Even after going through the Cave Behind the Falls and being imprisoned and subjected to a Slow Transformation, they try to keep count. Soon after being captured they're told how long it's been and their own count is off by a couple days, possibly because of when they were sick on the beach. It gets more off because for a good chunk of the transformation they were in and out of consciousness for an unknown time in the lab, and then as monsters sometimes they forgot to update the count of days. | |

Star Wars Legends: In the X-Wing Series novel "The Krytos Trap" Corran Horn finds out he had been in Imperial custody for six standard weeks. Up until he finds out from computer records when the Imperials captured him, Corran is unsure of how much time had passed due to all the drugs, torture, and psychological manipulation Ysanne Isard subjected him to. | |

On the Threshold A common element in many episodes, including a box full of case studies of those who say they've experienced them. The narrator skeptically rejects most of these accounts and any UFO-related explanations for unclear reasons, but seems more open-minded on a few that don't fit typical flying saucer narratives. | |

Happens in Brennus to the main character and his sister. Doesn't help that they forget that they've forgotten things, and need someone to talk about what they were doing to even realize they don't remember it. | |

Unknown Armies has literal missing time. Using powerful magic can cause "glitches" in the fabric of reality. One of them causes a group of people to vanish for hours before suddenly returning, with no memory of any time passing. To make it even weirder, this never happens in front of people outside of the glitch; they only vanish when out of sight. | |

This happens quite frequently to the characters of Marble Hornets when they are exposed to elements of the supernatural. Most notable are Jay, who loses seven months of his memory after running at the Operator; Jessica, who also loses her memory around the same time as Jay; and Tim, who frequently wakes up in unknown places with huge gaps in his memory as a result of his masked persona taking over. The other members of the Marble Hornets cast also get this, to varying degrees. | |

Dave in Brainbent experiences this, and in one particularly frightening instance cuts his hand while home alone and then loses time, meaning he could have bled to death and not even known it. | |

Mega Man (Archie Comics): The aftereffects of issue #20 where Mega Man time travels. Although he loses his memory of the event, little thought is given to the problem since the real time loss was negligible (just enough for a short circuit) and didn't match the memory loss. The main cast after the Worlds Collide story arc due to undoing the Cosmic Retcon. Mega Man has several hours of blank memory and his first thought is whether or not the world is okay, but otherwise he has no memory of the events that just took place. Dr. Wily feels like he's lost at least a month of memory and has a strange desire to stomp on eggs, but quickly drops the matter. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the episode "Future Imperfect", Riker gets infected by an amnesia-inducing virus and comes to 16 years later with no memory of the previous decade and a half, during which time he's become captain of the Enterprise, married, and had a son. Subverted when this turns out to be a Faked Rip Van Winkle orchestrated by a lonely alien boy. In the episode "Schisms", Riker and others are sedated at night, pulled into an alternate dimension, operated on, and returned before morning, causing them to wonder where the night went, and why they're so tired. Happened to Data as well during the day, which helped the crew realize something was wrong — as an android, it should be impossible for him to lose track of time. Happens again to the Crew of the Enterprise-D in Clues, they find that a whole day seems to be missing and Data is acting very strangely and disobeying orders. |
