| Not-So-Final Confession | comment |
When death is upon you, sometimes you have a burning need to get something off your chest. Something that embarrassment or social stigma has prevented you from saying. Perhaps you want to share a particularity cringeworthy secret, come out of the closet, or admit your undying love to the person you can never have, or rant about how stupid everyone around you is. Well, now is definitely the chance, you think; it is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ruffle all the feathers you'd ever want without having to sit through the fallout. Who cares what your friends and family would think? Certainly not you, seeing how you soon won't care about anything ever again. Regardless, no sooner do you make it known than you find out that, no, you're not going to die today. Often, but not always, a comedy trope. When Played for Laughs, the more embarrassing the secret, the higher the probability that you'll survive. Subtrope of Un-Confession. If someone is instead admitting something they've wanted to admit but couldn't and would rather survive the upcoming danger, it's If We Get Through This…. Can be a subversion of many of the Death Tropes. Compare Crossing the Burnt Bridge. Contrast False Start and Poorly Timed Confession. See also Aborted Declaration of Love. Examples |

A story in Green Lantern 80th Anniversary special entitled "Last Will" has Hal Jordan crash in a desert on an unknown planet, with just enough ring charge to send three messages. He sends one to the Corps saying how proud he is to have served, one to Batman saying that he's secretly always envied him, and one to Carol Ferris with a Dying Declaration of Love. Then the ring charge gives out, and his life support stops ... which is the point at which he realises he's actually on Earth, in the Nevada desert. He then desperately asks his unresponsive ring if there's any way of recalling the messages. | |

Chuck: After spending the first half of season 1 completely shutting down any suggestion of romance between her and Chuck, Sarah finally admits she feels something for him by giving him a Now or Never Kiss when they can't stop a ticking timer, which immediately afterward turns out NOT to be a bomb. She chalks it up to the panic of the moment for a good while longer. | |

She can't finish thanks to coughing, and then the others arrive and get the door open.

Only afterward is she informed that she'll be fine in the long run. Since Triss is straight, this leads to a certain amount of awkwardness. | |

In Olive's Last Partner, both Olive and Oscar address the strife surrounding the latter avoiding the former just before they drown in orange juice. Olive hits her Rage Breaking Point and snaps at Oscar that she wishes he had never left her to solve cases solo and that he was never her partner just before she describes how painful him gradually leaving her side to work in the Lab was and how Oprah never did anything about it. Oscar, on the other hand, tries to atone for what he did by justifying his actions and then apologizing for them. This is what causes the pair to make up and become best friends and lovers again, as they are saved from drowning by Otto. | |

Red Dwarf: Rimmer creates a copy of himself and, following an extreme case of Other Me Annoys Me, everyone agrees that one of the Rimmers has got to go. Lister persuades the unlucky Rimmer to tell him his embarrassing secret about gazpacho soup before the procedure - then reveals that he's already erased the other Rimmer. In "Quarantine", the crew find a potential hologram in an abandoned outpost. The Dwarf can only generate one hologram at once however, and they do little to hide their eagerness at the prospect of deactivating Rimmer for more pleasant company, adding that Space Corps Directive overrules any objections he makes. Naturally the rescue goes pear shaped, and the crew are left to return to a very vengeful Rimmer, who has now researched Space Corps Directives enough to become a torturous Rules Lawyer. |

In Kind Hearts and Coronets, Louis D'Ascoyne Mazzini has been sentenced to death for the one murder that he didn't commit. While awaiting execution, he writes his memoirs in which he confesses to all of the murders that he did commit (every D'Ascoyne ahead of him in the line of succession to a duchy). Just before his hanging, exonerating evidence is discovered and he is pardoned. However, his realization that he has left the manuscript of his memoirs with the confessions to the murders of his family in his prison cell may make this example a subversion... | |

The The Flash (2014) episode "Out of Time" features a couple of odd examples: Barry and Iris have this moment just before a supervillain inundates Central City with a tidal wave. Not only does he reveal his secret identity to her, but they also confess their feelings to each other and share The Big Damn Kiss. Another is given by Dr. Wells to Cisco, right when Cisco discovers Dr. Wells' identity as the Reverse-Flash. He tells Cisco that he's Like a Son to Me, and then that it's Nothing Personal—and then puts a vibrating hand clean through his heart. These seem like game-changing reveals, and they're treated as such In-Universe. The only thing that makes them this trope? Barry accidentally travels back in time and undoes both of them. |

Taggart. In "Forbidden Fruit" a doctor decides to drown himself after being exposed as a fraud. His wife sees the overturned boat and rushes into the house to call for help, only to find him inside dripping wet. Things probably would have worked out if he hadn't forgotten about the written confession he left behind, in which he confessed to murdering the Victim of the Week. | |

At least two cases from Lois & Clark. One is during the pilot when Lois has earlier said she'd never sleep with a colleague, and later, when they are tied to an exploding bomb, tell of a case when she did. In a later episode, Lois and Jimmy are tied to a mast when a Doomsday Device is about to be activated, and Jimmy tells Lois about a wet dream he had of her. | |

Star Trek: Voyager" The episode "The 37s" has the crew find a group of humans who vanished from Earth long ago, including Amelia Earheart and her co-pilot. The co-pilot gets shot and whilst being treated by the Doctor, tells Amelia he loves her. He then finds the Doctor has cured him and tells Amelia to forget everything she heard. In the episode "Renaissance Man", the Doctor starts making a list of confessions believing he is about to go offline (including telling Seven of Nine he loves her and that he compared Harry's saxophone playing to a wounded targ). After finding he will not go offline, he hides in sickbay for a week out of embarrassment. Something similar happens in "Projections". Fortunately, the Doctor is in a Dream Within a Dream and is spared the embarrassment at that time. Only their imminent death through oxygen deprivation in "Day of Honor" gives B'Elanna Torres the courage to tell Tom Paris she loves him. Next moment they're beamed to safety. Tom gives her the chance to back off from her confession in a later episode, but she runs with it and they become an Official Couple. |
