Previously, on This Very Wiki... A clip montage at the beginning of an episode with a voiceover, or a slide, saying "Previously on (show name)", or a variation "Last time on (show name)", that serves to get the viewer up to speed on the parts of the arc relevant to the episode in question. The majority of Arc-based series use these. Outside of those, usually only used if it's the beginning of a continuing part of a multi-parter. It's also known as "The Previously", or just the recap. On shows that make regular use of them, it's common for responsibility for the voiceover to rotate through the main cast members, generally without much regard to the content of the episode. The viewer may sometimes wonder whether the writers of a series threw in a line of dialogue or a scene that succinctly sums up what's going on with an eye towards (or for the sole purpose of) including it in the next episode's "Previously...." Furthermore, the Previously clip montage occasionally includes footage that didn't make it into the final cut of the earlier episode (thus lying to the viewer when it claims that it was previously featured on the show). This device can tip off the audience to important elements of the coming episode. In a competitive reality show, for example, a character featured heavily in Previously On may be getting the boot. In a drama or other arc-heavy series, if you see something in Previously On that didn't seem important previously, it will become important. See Chekhov's Gun. By contrast, some anime series will begin an episode by recapping scenes from the previous episode, but these may be intercut with new scenes. When used in video games, it gives a clue to the answer to "Now, Where Was I Going Again?" Many, many examples can be seen here Contrast with On the Next. Accompanied by a To Be Continued on the previous episode. Compare Title Montage, for open credits made up of scenes from early or previous episodes. |

Space Tree does it three times. Two of them reference the same events, and have the same dialogue, but one is poorly-drawn with equally bad voices and the other is done in an over-the-top way, depicting the characters as muscular and talking dramatically. The last one does it in the same way, but the character narrating says "Previously on Internet Cartoon Website...", mispronouncing previously as pre-vy-ous-lee. This one reuses animation from the first episode (but the dialogue is about the previous episode). | |

Pyramid: Starting sometime in the late summer of 1973 (of the original $10,000 Pyramid), and continuing throughout the rest of the original CBS-ABC run, clips of previous big Winner's Circle wins and the contestants celebrating with their celebrity partner were shown prior to the Opening Narration. In 1975, one of the best known "previously on" clips showed William Shattner's "solo" Winners Circle. The practice was used on the syndicated $25,000 Pyramid hosted by Bill Cullen, and – starting in 1983 – again on the CBS daytime $25,000 Pyramid with Dick Clark. | |

Picking up on AT40, American Country Countdown began a recap of the previous week's chart at the beginning of shows starting in 1986, with the past week's No. 1 song played. Currently, with Kix Brooks as host, snippets of the top 3 songs of the past week were played, from Nos. 3 to 1, during the opening segment. Ex-ACC host Bob Kingsley began using a similar recap feature on Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40. He originally played back the past week's No. 1 song, but soon switched to snippets of the previous week's Top 5. |

The Guest Book did this in an interesting way. The second and subsequent episodes start with a segment in the break room of an electronics store where one employee tries to get his co-worker to start watching the show. He then gives a description of the story so far. The co-worker then comes up with a lame excuse not to start watching. In the first season finale, the co-worker reveals that he did watch the show the previous week, but it wasn't for him. | |

Beating Devil May Cry 4 unlocks a "History of DMC" video that briefly recaps the previous three games, though they are arranged in release order; there's only a little hint that the series has an Anachronic Order or that Devil May Cry 3 is a prequel. In between the plot summaries, there are also short bios for the major characters of each game. | |

Digimon did this during its whole run. The dubbed version had two of them were recapped by a character from the previous season (Davis for Tamers, and Rika for Frontier until Melissa Fahn got a case of Real Life Writes the Plot), the other four had each episode recapped by one of the characters, usually being someone who had a prominent role in the episode being recapped. The original version had this in every season, always done by the Narrator (Hiroaki Hirata as a timeskipped Takeru for Adventure and Adventure 02, Masako Nozawa not using her Guilmon voice for Tamers, Masami Kikuchi for Frontier, and unnamed voice actors for Savers and Xros Wars. Interesting fact is that the BGM used for the recaps in Adventure was very calm and serene, which later would contrast a lot with the events that happened (can you picture recaps of the darker episodes of the Vamdemon/Myotismon arc with calm music? It's like that). |

Seasons 1 and 2 of Batman were done in a 2-part format. Early parts-two started with the narrator recapping the prior episode in 5-10 second bursts for about a minute, kind of an adaptation of how a comic book would use it. Later on in Season 2, it would just be a shot of the Death Trap de jour in action, though in several cases, the fact that said trap will fail somehow is spoilered by the narrator's closing: | |

Sluggy Freelance, a story-based comic which has been going for 13 years, has to use recaps every so often, and has taken to making them more palatable by couching them in fourth-wall-breaking parody. Parodied in a Previously On segment for "Stick Figures In Spaaaaaace!", in which all of the panels shown are picked at random, and while they technically happened previously, they do nothing to actually explain what's going on. |

The makers of Bleach has realised that this is a brilliant way of keeping production costs down: once the main theme finishes, viewers are treated to a lengthy expository narration explaining the plot so far. This usually takes up over 10% of the episode. One fansub group, providing subtitles for Episode 227, inserted a comment asking if this was Episode 226 after over five minutes of the previous episode was shown. Episode 190, having come back from an awkwardly inserted filler arc, is well over 50% a general recap of the current story arc, and then a more detailed recap of Ichigo's fights before then. Made slightly more jarring as the series became widescreen starting with the filler arc, thus borders are added to the sides of the screen for the recap footage. |

For several seasons during Tom Bergeron's tenure as host, each episode of America's Funniest Home Videos opened with Bergeron intoning "Previously on AFV...", followed by a montage of especially goofy clips from the actual previous episode. (As of the 2012-13 season, the show's gone back to previewing clips of the current episode as the cold opening.) | |

Angel used previouslies to the same effect, and the DVD's have the mixed blessing of not including any of them. On the one hand, Wesley's voice-over just sounded cool, and losing the recaps cuts down on the broadcast nostalgia factor. On the other hand, the DVD viewer's spared ten straight episodes all prefaced by a flashback to Connor and Cordelia's intimate moment... | |

Star Trek: Enterprise did this a lot during the Xindi arc of Season 3, as well as the smaller two- or three-episode stories of Season 4. This series also did away with Majel Barrett doing the "Previously on" line, instead having characters from the show (usually Archer or T'Pol) do so. This has been carried over into subsequent shows. | |

The O.C. would sometimes go a few seasons back for a Previously On, an indicator that a character would be returning or something that character did would be causing trouble. The same is true of Desperate Housewives. And Grey's Anatomy. |

Cheers: It once had an amusing recap, narrated in a rambling fashion by Coach, who forgot significant plot details, became confused to the point of trying to give the audience directions to his daughter's house and eventually had to start over. Another recap featured Cliff explaining what happened in an episode that happened to be Frasier's first appearance, while showing a slideshow of his (Cliff, that is) vacation in Florida. |

Foundation (1951): Editions since the early eighties have included "The Story Behind the Foundation". It is a meta-example because it explains why The Foundation Trilogy has had so many different editions in the forty years since he sold "Foundation (1942)". It also tells the reader another book in the series is coming; Foundation's Edge. | |

The Simpsons: A Parody Episode of 24 opens with "Previously on The Simpsons...", complete with 24-style character descriptions. Obviously, since the previous episode hadn't been a parody of 24, none of the events shown (such as Principal Skinner assigning Lisa to the Counter Truancy Unit) had ever been seen before. They did serve to set up the plot of the episode, though. One season ended with the question of whether Ned Flanders and Edna Krabappel would continue their budding relationship after Ned was freaked out by her sexual history. Instead of a Previously, the resolving episode opens with Comic Book Guy informing us that he doesn't care what happens, because "I spent my summer on a more worthwhile endeavor: savaging Mr. Popper's Penguins online." |

Cable & Deadpool: The series had special recap pages where the characters summarized the lead-up action from sometimes even four issues back. The main characters on the page were Cable and Deadpool, with the secondary characters sometimes taking over (mostly to explain who they were so you wouldn't need to read other Marvel books to know). towards the end of the second volume it turned into a sort of talk show hosted by Deadpool, and around the middle of the third the page was replaced by Bob (Agent of Hydra)'s blog. The recaps are all in the collected edition, too (which is why they're referenced by volume, not issue). | |

BrainDead (2016): Jonathan Coulton sings an upbeat recap of the events up to the episode being aired, while accompanying footage is played. The lyrics change from episode to episode. To keep the recaps interesting, they are changed up from time to time. In episode 8, the recap is a commercial for "Space Bugs", as if the Space Bugs were a prescription medicine, a la Viagra, rattling off a list of side effects. In episode 11, Coulton attempts to recap the previous episode, but finds it's too stressful, so instead, he recaps the first episode of Gunsmoke. |

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero also does this with "In our last episode...". Thought "The Traitor, Part 2" had a more interesting variation, where it opens up with Hector Ramirez anchoring his news program, and his topic is of Dusty Rudat, the Joe accused of treason who had escaped custody and was now presumed to have joined Cobra (he's actually playing Fake Defector). | |

In the Back at the Barnyard half-hour episode "Treasure Hunt", the second part began with this trope, which consists of the characters saying each other's names in a Rocky Horror Picture Show-esque fashion, followed by a few of them screaming. When the episode continues after that, Pig goes Breaking the Fourth Wall by asking what happened in part one. In the end, there was an On the Next segment which consists of a Clip Show of Peck getting injured in various ways and when it cuts back to the characters, Peck ends up Leaning on the Fourth Wall by asking what will happen next week. | |

WandaVision: Every episode after the first begins with Wanda saying "Previously on WandaVision", followed by a recap of scenes from previous episodes relevant to the plot of the current one. Notably, the enthusiasm with which Wanda says the line decreases with every episode, from a cheery voice in Episode 2 down to a flat deadpan by Episode 7. Also, Episode 8, where Wanda is forced to review important events in her life, is literally titled "Previously On" after this trope (as all episodes are named after TV stock phrases). Wanda even has the ability to manipulate the "previously ons," as in the episode 5 "Previously on," she changes the line she says to Vision after booting Monica out of the Hex. |

Because the twenty-seventh chapter of Asteroid in Love kind-of ends at a cliffhanger, as Misa proposes an audacious solution to tackle Ao's impending departure due to her father's job transfer, the first strip of the following chapter starts with a recap of Misa suggestion... This starts off normal, since the voiceover sounds like what Mira would say in this situation. At the fourth frame of strip, however, it turns out Moe is the one holding the voiceover microphone, and she starts talking Perverted Sniffing her crush Misa... | |

Heroes uses the same method, showing scenes as far back as is necessary to bring the audience up to date on whichever of the many plot lines will be updated in the upcoming episode. In some cases, this involves a series of short clips that span the majority of the season. Toyed around with in one episode; a clip during the Previously On had not actually been shown in a prior episode, but had in fact occurred between the previous episode and the current one. |

Several of the Friday the 13th sequels start with flashbacks to the previous films. Initially with Parts 2 and 3, it was quite a long segment of scenes and plot to fill in the viewer as to what was happening, but as the series grew (in numbers and notoriety), with Parts 4 and 7, it became more a montage of death scenes with a sprinkling of backstory. The crossover film Freddy vs. Jason begins with Freddy Krueger recounting his backstory, interspersed with clips from the earlier A Nightmare on Elm Street films. |

Moonlighting: In a standard bit of Breaking the Fourth Wall, "Sam & Dave" begins with real-life TV critic Jeff Jarvis explaining how if you missed last week's episode "because you figured 'it's just another rerun'", he has "a tape of last week's episode" and will show "all the good parts. It won't take long." Then he narrates between recap scenes. The next episode has narration by Vox Pops. Following that is a recap in a fake Movietone News broadcast. | |

The Teen Titans Go! episode "Operation Dude Rescue Part 2" has Starfire and Raven recapping the events of the first part by displaying various unconnected scenes from the previous episode, with absolutely no context between them, and not actually showing the main plot of the episode, that of the Brain capturing Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy and Starfire and Raven putting together a group of girls to rescue them. When Raven points this out to Starfire, she just shrugs. | |

Previously, on Atop the Fourth Wall... they just spoof the trope, as the segments shown didn't happen at all. Or, at least, this was done for the first five or so years of the series. When Linkara reviews a series of comics over two consecutive videos or more, the second video "recaps" the story with cameo sketches from other Channel Awesome contributors making dramatic revelations and soap-opera-style shocking twists that never actually happened in either his show or theirs. (Though foreshadowing for Linkara's plot is often hidden in between them.) And it's all set to "Surprise Attack" from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the Catwoman: Guardian of Gotham #2 review, the cameos lampshade the hell out of the segment. The parodies have since been dropped... at least until they came back in his retrospective of Exiles with some heavy lampshading. | |

Evil Dead 2: The first film in the series was an extremely low-budget indie film that the filmmakers didn't expect many people to be familiar with when watching the sequel. Rather than begin the film with a "previously on" montage, the first act serves as an accelerated, simplified version of the entire first film. Once the second act kicks in, the film becomes a sequel. The third film in the series, Army of Darkness, does use the trope, with a quick flashback montage narrated by the protagonist that summarizes what came before. | |

She does it again in the season 2 episode "Point of Light." For the season 2 premiere episode "Brother," the exact verbiage is, "Last season on Star Trek: Discovery," followed by a recap of season 1. Similarly, the season 3 premiere episode "That Hope Is You, Part I" started with "Last season..." and a recap of season 2. The season 4 premiere firmly establishes this as the opening line for each season. The episode "Light and Shadows" ends with Michael and Spock heading for Talos IV, the planet from the original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage" (Discovery being set between that and the Original Series proper). The next episode "If Memory Serves", starts with "Previously on Star Trek" and clips from the pilot. |

The online trailers for season 6 of Community used a "Previously on..." format to give a brief recap of each of the previous seasons. Except for season 4, for which they just showed a brief clip of gas leaking out of a vent.* Show creator Dan Harmon was fired by the network at the end of season 3, but when season 4 saw a drop in viewers and significantly worse reviews, he was brought back for season 5. The first episode of season 5 has the characters discussing their out-of-character behavior over the previous months, and blaming it on a year-long gas leak. | |

Nikita, for the first half of the first season, worked important information from previous episodes into Nikita's Opening Narration. Eventually, this got to be a bit unwieldy so they switched to more conventional previouslies. | |

Eli Stone has a neat variation on this. We hear Eli narrating clips from past episodes, and then it turns out he's actually telling the story to someone to explain some weird thing that he's doing, like trying to bring a coffee can out of China. For this to work you have to completely ignore that for the rest of the show, he does everything he can to keep a lot of what happens secret. | |

The early Harry Potter books open with a recap of what happened in previous books, usually masked as Harry reminiscing about his past in Hogwarts. Beginning with Order of the Phoenix, J. K. Rowling stopped doing it because she felt that if people decided to start with the fifth book without reading the others first they deserved to get confused. | |

Xiaolin Showdown has four episodes which begin with a "Previously on..." sequence. "In The Flesh" recaps the events of "Mala Mala Jong" in order to show how Raimundo's failure at reaching Apprentice levels and overall lack of respect he felt during the previous episode caused him to side with Wuya in this episode. The three-parter episodes where Chase Young successfully brings Omi to the Heylin side are "Judging Omi", "Saving Omi" and "Finding Omi". The latter two begin with a "Previously on Xiaolin Showdown..." sequence. "Time After Time part 2" recaps the events of "Time After Time part 1", but the scenes where Hannibal Bean gives Chase Young the Lao Mang Soup are taken from "The Lifes And Times Of Hannibal Roy Bean". |

Most episodes of Attack on Titan start with recap sequences. During longer arcs, such as the Female Titan arc, the recaps are often fairly similar from episode to episode and at one point in said arc there's a recap sequence three minutes long. Not quite on par with Dragon Ball Z but that's still pretty damn long. | |

A 'previously on' in Rick and Morty starts out straight, but then they jump to clips of scenes that didn't happen yet (Summer getting pregnant, Jerry's funeral, Rick marrying Morty...).

Some of the earliest "previously on" examples were used at WrestleMania 2, when a clip of a match between Hulk Hogan and the Magnificent Muraco – with King Kong Bundy running in and seriously injuring Hogan was shown. WrestleMania III expanded this use, with clips highlighting several feuds: Randy Savage vs. Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat, Roddy Piper vs. Adrian Adonis and friends-turned-enemies Hogan vs. André the Giant. | |

The Count opens each episode of Gankutsuou by recapping the previous events in the broadest and most flowery of terms. What's most interesting is that he speaks in French for these bits. That's not the Count - that's the spirit of Gankutsuou inside him. It should be a hint that he refers to the Count as "my friend". |

To avoid the overwrought voiceover style typical of this trope, the Supernatural simply shows the words "Then" and "Now" to indicate where the recap begins and ends. And in an important episode, the previous events are always set to one of the greatest hits of mullet rock. For example, every season finale uses "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas as its background. |

Power Rangers: Ironically, the show was severely episodic during the early seasons, meaning it didn't really need a recap. When things got more and more plot heavy by seasons 4 to 6, the recap segment got dropped; it's only pulled back out during two or three ep arcs. Power Rangers in Space: The very first episode had a recap from the last episode of the previous season, Power Rangers Turbo, but made it seem like it was already Power Rangers in Space back then. These segments were dropped when episodes were released on Netflix. |

In every season of 24 after the first, every episode except the first in the season opens with a "Previously On 24" segment that replays clips from previous episodes, along with name title for important characters. (Rarely is every active CTU employee introduced with a name title; instead, one member will be singled out with the title "Counter Terrorist Unit".) Season One instead opened with Jack Bauer giving a brief narration of the recent events, concluding each with "I am federal agent Jack Bauer, and this is the longest day of my life." Previously On did happen in the first season, but the DVDs have them cut out. The UK DVDs have all these intact, including the final episode of Season Seven which didn't have one on its original airing. The Surrealist's 24 Dreaming generates nonsensical parodies of this spiel. |

In the first episode of Clerks: The Animated Series, a voice says, "Previously on Clerks", and then it cuts to a test pattern. The end of the episode also featured an On the Next with the same gag, implying that the makers expected to get canceled after one episode. They were wrong; they got canceled after two episodes (although that first episode didn't even air during the original ABC run). | |

The Pigs In Space announcer on The Muppet Show would usually introduce the set-up of this week's episode by claiming it was a continuation of the previous episode. Which it wasn't.

Nearly every episode of Futari wa Pretty Cure had a scene near the beginning in which Nagisa recalled the events of the previous episode, even though there was usually no plot connection of any importance.

Each episode of Kamen Rider Build begins with Sento recaping the events of the last episode...at least that's how he wanted it. However, the other characters keep interrupting his recap, even stealing the role from him from time to time, much to Sento's chagrin. Eventually, he just starts rolling with it for the most part. More serious episodes either omit the comedic recap for something else or have Sento read the recap completely seriously, especially in the last few episodes which cover the Final Battle. The final episode reveals that the recaps, at least the very first, are Sento narrating for a TV show he wrote about his adventures. | |

Similar to OOO above, Kamen Rider Ghost begins the episode with Takeru's narration about when he was attacked and killed by a Gamma on his 18th birthday and he became the titular hero so he could gather all heroic Eyecons and come back to life. This was followed by a short recap of important events that happened in the previous episode and ended with the days left until Takeru's permanent death. | |

Done in every episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, with narration in the style of an old newsreel that overall serves as an audio version of the text crawl from the movies. What makes this unique is that these are previously in the war, not necessarily previously on the show, setting up the episode's plot regardless of whether it's a continuation of a previous episode or not. Even when it does recap a prior episode for a multi-parter, it sometimes includes events that weren't actually in that episode but happened during a Time Skip since then. | |

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse features this trope on a few specials when they are split into two parts in Disney+. For instance, Clarabelle provides the recap for the first part of "Road Rally", Toodles narrates the first part of "Space Adventure" (along with the words To Be Continued at the end of part one), Minnie summarizes the first part of the specials "Minnie's Winter Bow Show!", "Mickey's Monster Musical" and "The Wizard of Dizz!", Mickey recaps the first part of "Super Adventure!", and Goofy summarizes the first part of the Treasure Hunt Episode "Mickey's Pirate Adventure" and the Grand Finale "A Goofy Fairy Tale". | |

DuckTales (1987): Used in the "Time Is Money" and "Super Ducktales" five-part stories in the second season. Also used for "The Golden Goose", the two-part Grand Finale. Averted in the first season's multipart episodes. The first five episodes, the multipart "Treasure of the Golden Suns" typically has a character give a short bit of exposition as an introduction to the episode's plot. Likewise with the four part "Cash as Catch Can". |

The The Order of the Stick compilations (aside from the first, obviously) have a few pages where one of the cast members explains what happened in the previous books, in their own idiosyncratic styles. Elan uses finger puppets, V uses a very prepared chalkboard, and Belkar's is presented a la Masterpiece Theatre, with Belkar mostly inserting himself into other famous stories rather than recapping events. | |

In the first episode after the 2007 writers strike, a network executive comes on and gives a recap of where they left off before they had had to shut down production. |

Early on in radio countdown program American Top 40, host Casey Kasem played back the top 3 songs of the previous week in the first segment of the program. Throughout the 1980s, the number of top 3 songs would vary – sometimes, just the No. 1 song of the previous week would be played; and by the end of Kasem's run and into the Shadoe Stevens-era, the host would simply announce the No. 1 song from last week. | |

The Barrier does this with every single episode after the first. It's very much needed because things can change quite fast and the specific previous events needed to understand the episode can vary greatly. For instance, an episode making a major reveal about a secondary character will make sure the recap includes everything important the audience already knows about that character, while the recaps of other episodes will just barely remind the audience that that same character is in the series. | |

American Dad! spoofed this in "Merlot Down Dirty Shame". The episode opens with a Previously On... segment showing Stan and Roger trapped in an elevator, which causes them to bond and become friends. Over the course of the episode Roger manages to completely screw things up, ending with him burying Stan alive. This is followed by a On the Next segment where a dirt-covered Stan beats the everloving shit out of Roger (who's wearing a cat costume). | |

Used in Ultra Fast Pony. Episode two begins with the nonsensical "Meanwhile, in the previous episode..." and the montage consists entirely of backstory exposition that should have been in the prior episode, but wasn't. In "Stay Tuned", the "Previously on" is about five minutes long, and while the episode proper is about ten seconds long. |

The Powerpuff Girls episode "Just Desserts" is a sequel to "Supper Villain", which came 16/8 episodes prior. It opens with a recap of "Supper Villain" that begins "Last week, in the city of Townsville..." Every quarter-hour episode of The Powerpuff Girls is paired with another in a half-hour segment. "Just Desserts" is the 16th episode after "Supper Villain" and they are both the second episode in their respective segments (Does this make sense?) | |

NUMB3RS loves this trope. Especially notable since their two-part episodes very rarely end on obvious cliffhangers; the recap is often the first indication that the earlier episode's plot is going to come back in some way (though the level of significance of the previous episode varies). NUMB3RS would also have non-consecutive sequels, with the most obvious being "Arrow of Time" (a Season 5 sequel to a Season 3 episode). Subverted in "The Janus List", which is a fairly direct sequel to "The Mole" but doesn't use the recap, likely because the connection is not immediately obvious and alerting viewers to it would spoil The Reveal.(Clips from both "The Mole" and "The Janus List" were used in the recap in "Trust Metric", the final episode in the arc.) |

In the Clarence mini-series "Clarence's Stormy Sleepover", Clarence himself does the "Previously on" narration for each episode, which evidences his own unique take on the events. When recapping the events of "Doofus and McNobrain", he can't help laughing about Belson filling the detention room with 50 bags of manure. | |

Similarly, the final Farscape has a blipvert showing a scene from every prior episode. Also, most (if not all) of the episodes in Seasons 3 and 4 (when Farscape fully transitioned from being episodic to continuous) begin with one of these. Farscape noticeably had scenes in a Previously On which hadn't actually been aired before, as that subplot of an episode was cut for time. Given what that subplot was (Grayza taking command from Scorpius and Braca apparently selling him out) it was rather important, and somewhat confusing for viewers. |

Jackie Chan Adventures uses this on occasion. Sometimes it can be from an episode from a season or two ago, such as the Season 4 opener flashing back to Jade becoming Queen of the Shadowkhan and Daolon Wong summoning them, to explain plotpoints in the episode, such as Tarakudo recognizing Jade. | |

This is how Smallville episodes that were part of a Story Arc or featured a returning character started. Smallville had the habit of only using these segments during the season premiere, the last episode before and the first episode after the mid-season hiatus, and the season finale. Further more for the first and last episode of the season, the clips would always be finished off by a fade to black and the announce proudly proclaiming "And now, the Season Premiere/Finale of Smallville..." This led to a minor fan speculation that the 10th season Finale (the final episode of the series' 10 year run) would finish off with the phrase "And now, the conclusion of Smallville..." Sadly, it did not. |

On Stargate SG-1 in episode 200, "200". The "Previously On" sequence begins with several real scenes, but then a scene featuring a meeting with the Furlings, who are notable only for their absence. After being treated to a planetary explosion, we cut to Sam Carter saying, "But that never happened!" while reading a script. | |

Used conspicuously on Avatar: The Last Airbender, in that only a handful of episodes in their initial airings used a Previously On sequence. When the series was stripped and reruns began playing on weekdays, all episodes (save the first) contained the sequence. It was later revealed by a staff member that Nick makes them do that, so that viewers can enjoy an episode without having to have seen each episode that came before it. However, most fans disagree with the practice, because clips have been known to spoil vital aspects of the episode. While the first season DVD releases may be free of these, the same cannot be said for the second season, which has a Previously On segment before every single episode. An extreme case with the Grand Finale, which has one that lasts two whole minutes. This is even worse on the DVD: instead of being all at the beginning in one part, it split them up among the episodes, both making it even more interruptive pain in the ass as well removing the awesome music that played in the TV version. This was partially undone, when the series was released on Blu-ray, with most multi-part episodes and the Fina being re-edited into their original formatted specials. This meant each special only aired a single recap. What makes it subtly brilliant is that the person (Roku) who always says "Previously, on Avatar" is the previous Avatar. Except for some dubs in other countries, where that person would be Iroh. Jack De Sena (voice of Sokka) is on record as being proud of the series having complex-enough story-telling to need them. The Legend of Korra has a Previously On sequence. Hilariously, it's done in the style of an old serial movie, complete with grainy, sepia-toned footage and a stereotypical "newsreel" announcer (who is also the in-universe pro-bending announcer). This is replaced for one episode by Tarrlok recapping the events in a press conference after Shiro Shinobi, the announcer, was electrocuted in the previous episode. He's back by the next one, though. |

A variation happens in Steven Universe episode "Reunited". The episode itself opens with the song "For Just One Day Let's Only Think About Love", wherein various characters lament on several lingering plot threads from throughout the show's run, while Steven tries to get them to worry less on those and focus on celebrating the wedding happening that day. Naturally, all the plot points brought up become relevant again in the episode's second half. | |

Ant-Man: The Irredeemable Ant Man had the recap page hosted by a talking ant. The World War Hulk tie-in has it hijacked by a Hulk Ant, who claims he doesn't get a lot of work. The final issue has the poor ant dying (because the series was ending). In homage, the second issue of Ant-Man (2022), which is set in the Irredeemable era, similarly has ant hosting the recap page. The final issue of Ant-Man (2022) has a "previously on" covering the previous three issues, and fictional Marvel comic stories from the future detailing an epic crossover which led to the Bad Future depicted therein. |

Star Trek: Famously, the original Star Trek handled its only Previously ("The Menagerie, Part II") by shooting stark new footage of the principals lined up in profile against a black background as Kirk muses about the events leading up to Spock's court martial for mutiny in his Captain's Log. During its several long arcs, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine would sometimes have a "Last Time/Previously on DS9" that would cover the previous month or more of episodes. "Last Time on Star Trek: The Next Generation/Star Trek: Voyager... *selected clips from the first part of the episode* ... And now the conclusion" Star Trek: Enterprise did this a lot during the Xindi arc of Season 3, as well as the smaller two- or three-episode stories of Season 4. This series also did away with Majel Barrett doing the "Previously on" line, instead having characters from the show (usually Archer or T'Pol) do so. This has been carried over into subsequent shows. Star Trek: Discovery: This gets an interesting twist in the last episode of season 1, "Will You Take My Hand?", with the Klingon L'Rell delivering the "Previously on Star Trek: Discovery" line in Klingonese. She does it again in the season 2 episode "Point of Light." For the season 2 premiere episode "Brother," the exact verbiage is, "Last season on Star Trek: Discovery," followed by a recap of season 1. Similarly, the season 3 premiere episode "That Hope Is You, Part I" started with "Last season..." and a recap of season 2. The season 4 premiere firmly establishes this as the opening line for each season. The episode "Light and Shadows" ends with Michael and Spock heading for Talos IV, the planet from the original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage" (Discovery being set between that and the Original Series proper). The next episode "If Memory Serves", starts with "Previously on Star Trek" and clips from the pilot. The season 2 premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds carries on the "Last season..." precedent from Discovery, and even adds a few clips from DISCO's first two seasons in addition to its own first season. |

Press Your Luck: Clips showed contestants hitting big ticket items ("Stop at ... A CAR!!!") or Whammies, along with appropriate contestant reaction and, in the case of hitting a Whammy, the Whammy clip; and final spins which resulted in a champion being determined (wherein the winning contestant would be shown celebrating). | |

Green Wing begins every episode by showing the whole previous episode in split screen, speeding through the hour-long episode in about one minute, briefly slowing down for the important moments and alternating sides of the screen to do so. The first episode was a variant, since the opening sequence had the same style, but did more or less an introduction to each character instead. | |

Glee refers only to plot points that will be relevant for the current episode rather than what happened in the exact last episode, often from much earlier in the season "And that's what you missed on..." (cue Swingle Singers) By the fourth season, the "Previously On" narrator would break the fourth wall or make snide comments about the characters or certain plot points. |

Lost opens with one of these every episode, as well, in order to remind people about events that occurred four episodes prior, but which hadn't been mentioned since then; the number of episodes skipped back across has been increasing since the end of the second season, as we began alternating between different sides of the island, occasionally even skipping back to a previous season. "Previously on Lost" has become one of the iconic phrases from the show. Almost every episode. On rare occasion, it will open with an action sequence. Ditched towards the end of the show's run, as the story was so convoluted that the showrunners simply opted for Continuity Lockout, figuring anyone who stuck with the show that long was up to speed on what was happening. (They did throw everyone a bone by offering the entire series online for free viewing.) With watching most shows on DVD, watching the Previously On segment can seem redundant because they usually just concentrate on the last episode. With Lost, though, the segment is really more of a "These are the story lines we are concentrating on in this episode" than just a recap of the immediately previous episode. |

The show was pretty heavy on Character Arcs in its first episodes (mainly surrounding the murdered rookie and Warrick's gambling problems), which were why they were necessary. CSI, NCIS, and other procedurals that have season-long story arcs in addition to the Killer of the Week plots will use this when the episode is about to jump full speed into those arcs. Two-part episodes will also use it (or alternately, a season opener that needs to refresh everyone's memory as to what happened in last season's finale). It was also used in crossovers, to recap the events on the other member of the franchise. | |

Used on every episode of the classic soap opera parody Soap. It would sum up, quickly and comically, what happened in the previous episode and ask "Confused? Well, you won't be after this episode of Soap." It would also have a "next time on Soap" at the end as well that didn't spoil the next episode but merely hinted at which storylines would be seen in the next episode. | |

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo had a recap of the previous episode in the series premiere, though as Beauty points out the narrator is reading the wrong script. Sadly, the joke was removed from the TV showing of the English dub. As the series progresses, the recaps become more nonsensical, changing lines, going off-script, and including new scenes. This does not go unnoticed. |

Star Trek: Lower Decks doesn't typically do this, instead recapping previous episodes through exposition, but two episodes so far have had recap reels. "A Mathematically Perfect Redemption" gave a character A Day in the Limelight immediately after a long absence, meaning that character had to be reintroduced. "Old Friends, New Planets" is both the second half of a two-part Drama Bomb Finale and the culmination of a season-long Story Arc, and opens with a flashback to boot, meaning there was likely no time for meaningful exposition. | |

"Last week, on Red vs. Blue..." "Uh, there wasn't an episode last week, we were at E3." I mean the week before last..." Red vs. Blue parodied this a couple of other times as well on their DVD extras. The season 2 DVD includes a feature in which Caboose relates the events of season 1 in a characteristically inaccurate and moronic fashion. The season 5 DVD contains a feature that claims to be a recap of seasons 1-4, but it's really just a rapid-fire compilation of every curse word spoken on the series up to that point. |

ReBoot used this once in the first season for a two-part episode. A variant was used in the first episode of season 3, where the opening sequence used clips (only video, no audio besides opening music) from the previous episode. Suspiciously absent afterward, despite the season long plot. | |

Every one of the main titles of the Animorphs series had a brief recap of the series premise and elements of the series that a first time reader might need to understand to know about the plot.

Kamen Rider OOO begins the episode with "These three things have happened last week...!" then it recaps 3 important key happenings to the previous episode that would lead to today's episode. Kamen Rider has been doing this for most of their shows, though shows from Decade onward have took on the more traditional "Previously On" segment. Similar to OOO above, Kamen Rider Ghost begins the episode with Takeru's narration about when he was attacked and killed by a Gamma on his 18th birthday and he became the titular hero so he could gather all heroic Eyecons and come back to life. This was followed by a short recap of important events that happened in the previous episode and ended with the days left until Takeru's permanent death. Each episode of Kamen Rider Build begins with Sento recaping the events of the last episode...at least that's how he wanted it. However, the other characters keep interrupting his recap, even stealing the role from him from time to time, much to Sento's chagrin. Eventually, he just starts rolling with it for the most part. More serious episodes either omit the comedic recap for something else or have Sento read the recap completely seriously, especially in the last few episodes which cover the Final Battle. The final episode reveals that the recaps, at least the very first, are Sento narrating for a TV show he wrote about his adventures. |

Many Professional Wrestling programs, including Raw, Smackdown and pay-per-views, make extensive use of video recaps of feuds and storylines that have led to main-event matches. WWE, in particular, produces extremely dramatic packages, with big symphonic music stings and a deep-voiced Opening Narration that talks about power, money, greed, glory, history, or whatever the overriding theme of the past month has been. Some of the earliest "previously on" examples were used at WrestleMania 2, when a clip of a match between Hulk Hogan and the Magnificent Muraco – with King Kong Bundy running in and seriously injuring Hogan was shown. WrestleMania III expanded this use, with clips highlighting several feuds: Randy Savage vs. Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat, Roddy Piper vs. Adrian Adonis and friends-turned-enemies Hogan vs. André the Giant. While most of the ones in use today make use of elements described in the opening paragraph, the WWF (and many of its competitors of the time, including the AWA and World Championship Wrestling), have used "last time" clips for many years, usually to catch viewers up on a major feud starting on the previous episode or to progressively build an ongoing one (by showing a series of clips). Prior to the 2000s, the announcers simply narrated the clips and provided (often face-leaning) commentary. The WWF's syndicated programs of the 1980s – Superstars of Wrestling and Wrestling Challenge – also made extensive use of "last time" video, often with new comments added in from the involved wrestlers, and sometimes extensive portions of a match (especially if it involved a title change or was designated as having something important to do with advancing the feud) would be played as well. |

In multi-part episodes of Case Closed, the couple of minutes before the title card for all episodes after the first one is used for showing what happened in previous episodes. This is often redundant because Conan will provide his own recap in Inner Monologue every so often. (In one episode, "The Alibi of the Black Dress", Conan recapped twice in the first episode (including a fairly lengthy one right before the end) and again in part two, in addition to the "Previously On" segment!) This may be done as a time-filling method when a manga-based case is too long for one part but not long enough for two. | |

In EvAbridged where the events shown in the recap are basically a bizarro version of the first episode, with Misato declaring Shinji to be "the manliest hero I have ever seen.... and definitely not a pussy" and Gendo states that he is Shinji's "loving father who is always proud of you". It all turns out to be Shinji dreaming. | |

One Piece likes to do this during its story arcs. Currently it starts off each episode with a sepia-toned recap of the show's main premise, followed by ANOTHER recap of the current storyline. Lately these have been shortened considerably, though. It also sometimes shows a map showing where each group of characters is. The premise recap used to be part of the opening sequence. Eventually the creators got tired of having narration before the theme song so they just moved it to right after the intro. |

Pokémon games did this in Gen III and IV. Gen III's FireRed and LeafGreen show you the last four notable thing you did in the game whenever you start the game. Gen IV's Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum introduced the Journal key item, which simply lists these actions, and will automatically open if you haven't played the game for a few days. | |

In the late 70s, Marvel got hold of the Hanna-Barbera properties and would add, for example, a two-page teaser for a Dynomutt story to an issue of Scooby-Doo. The story would pick up in the ensuing issue of Dynomutt with a recap of the teaser. Issues of Dynomutt would reciprocate with teasers for forthcoming Scooby stories. | |

Futurama: The syndicated "season 5" of the show is actually composed of the four films of the series, cut into four episode-sized chunks each. The continuations of each movie each have a special "Previously on" bumper added to their beginning, all with a quick bonus gag from one of the main or recurring characters of the show. | |

"Previously on The West Wing", preceded by a distinctive drumroll, would appear at the beginning of every single episode of the show except the pilot. When the show was between major story arcs and there was nothing from previous episodes that really needed to be shown, the clips in the "Previously On" sequence would just be of the main characters saying their names and job descriptions. | |

The Venture Bros.: "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II" has a "previously on" segment detailing a fictional episode and an On the Next segment for another non-existent episode. The "clips" in these segments imply various wild plot elements that are not entirely unbelievable in comparison with other episodes, making the joke somewhat ambiguous. However, "Showdown at Cremation Creek Part II" was the second part of a genuine two-parter. Its Previously On segment replayed the entire previous episode, but it was severely sped up so the whole thing went by in about ten seconds. Only the very last line was played normally. |

There are two episodes (8.5 and 17.5) dedicated to this entirely in Code Geass. The staff openly admits they were done to buy time (the production was behind schedule) and both of them were left out of the official DVD releases. Other than that, C.C. usually assumes the role of recap narrator during the segments found at the beginning of several episodes. | |

Up to Season 3, Lucifer usually had "previously on" segments featuring clips from previous episodes relevant to the current episode. The only exceptions have been "Off the Record" (a Lower-Deck Episode that focuses on an erstwhile new character), "City of Angels?" (due to it taking place prior to the rest of the series) and "Boo Normal" and "Once Upon a Time" (two episodes that were originally meant for a potential Season 4 until Fox decided to cancel the show after Season 3). The show did away with this when it moved to Netflix from Season 4 onwards, since all episodes of a season were dumped on the same day, so there's technically no catching up. | |

Metal Gear Solid features a "mission log" which you can read each time you load the game. It includes a two-page text recap of recent events within the game's plot.

Get Smart did this for their later multi-part episodes. The one for the second part of Season 5 two-parter "And Baby Makes Four" lasted about 5 minutes. By contrast, for the 2nd and 3rd parts of its 3 parter at the end of Season 1 they mainly just replayed the last scenes of the prior episode (which were legitimate Cliffhangers). | |

Series 2 through 4 of Danger Mouse pretty much required this. Originally each episode was five minutes long, and was part of a storyline that would last five episodes. Therefore each episode had to begin with a recounting of what had happened up to that point. When the series was released on DVD, these were not edited out, and pretty much made the show unwatchable. | |

Game of Thrones loves this trope. While the first few episodes only recapped the immediate previous episode, as the series went on and Four Lines, All Waiting became common, the recaps covered many plot points often going back several seasons, with these segments often lasting minutes at a time, which helps a little with Continuity Lockout caused by having so many characters and plotlines. It was also used as a Spoiler Opening as specified above: in the second-to-last episode, when a character turned out to be Evil All Along, the Previously On segment managed to set this up — mostly by eliding any of that character's actions which contradicted the twist. | |

Several games in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise (Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow the Hedgehog) feature recaps upon loading a new "story", as the Adventure games have multiple separate storylines, and Shadow has a path system that changes the story based on gameplay. These tend to be scrolling blocks of text with a voiceover by the relevant character; Shadow included images from the level select. | |

Sometimes, when the creators of Sailor Moon Abridged decided to skip some Sailor Moon episodes, Serena would detail events of the skipped story by telling viewers what happened "last time on Sailor Moon", occasionally giving her own details and leaving out major points (eg, her recap of the episode where she and Darien met an artist went into no detail at all about the artist). For one recap, Serena simply said "a lot of stupid stuff happened" in the skipped episode, and she doesn't find it worth talking about. Played straight in some episodes, as well as The Movie. |

Reborn! (2004) can be particularly problematic with this. For some of the episodes in the Future Arc it gets to the point where there is so much recap of the previous episode (and a general summary of the arc) that, given the space also taken by credits and omake, there amounts to around ten minutes of new material. | |

Shugo Chara!: the "Shugo Chara Dokki Doki" segments on "Shugo Chara Party" have their own opening theme song. A brief compilation of clips from the previous episode play while the theme song is still going (i.e., it's part of the Dokki Doki opening).

The Incredible Hercules: The series was infamous for its hilarious recap pages that included characters' pictures and were sometimes 'narrated' by the characters themselves (most commonly, Amadeus Cho). This came to a head with the final issue, which summarized the essence of the plot of every single previous issue in one sentence or less. Like the Cable & Deadpool example above, they were kept for the trade paperbacks. | |

Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger always starts with Secchan stating this trope segment from episode 2 onwards, with Secchan saying "Zenkai (�回) no Zenkaiger wa". Each has their variation and gag, like Secchan looking away before facing the audience, flying around haphazardly, or even busting in a seemingly empty room just to say his catchphrase. | |

Treasure Hunt US: On occasion during the 1973 and 1981 versions, if the games ran short and there was still time, host Geoff Edwards would fill the segment by showing clips of past big wins (i.e., the grand prize being found and won) … and sometimes even a clip or two of the contestant finding the check … but they didn't win it because they elected to take the cash buyout beforehand. In addition, Edwards sometimes replayed a big win that just happened after a commercial break, just in case viewers missed it or wanted to see it again. | |

The Chronicles of Narnia (BBC): Downplayed. While it never happens that the previous episode is recapped, some dialogue is inserted which is clearly there to remind the viewer of an important plot point from a previous episode. Examples are: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: When Edmund sees the two hills in the distance, the Witch's voice is heard telling him that her house is between those hills. The Silver Chair: The signs are occasionally recapped. In the third episode, Jill recites the signs as a voiceover. In the fourth episode, Aslan appears briefly to recap the second and third signs. In the fifth episode, Puddleglum suggests playing a game of remembering the signs, as the final sign is especially significant in this episode. |

The Arrowverse has this at the start of almost every episode, after the opening narration. If you listen carefully, you'll hear that "Previously on [show name]" is said by one of the cast members, sometimes a different one each episode. The season premieres often begin with "Last season on [show name]". Legends of Tomorrow uses a format where one character gives a brief narration, ending with some version of "Don't call us heroes. We're legends." Which veers into parody when it's Mick's turn: |

For episode 2-5 of Smile Pretty Cure!, Miyuki tells the viewers the story of the show from where the last episode left off. Recaps by the main characters are used at the beginning of Pretty Cure episodes beginning with KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode. However, Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure doesn't do this and instead has Hikaru say "I'm Hikaru Hoshina, an eighth grader who loves space! Today I'll become Pretty Cure again and draw what I want with my own imagination!" in every episode introduction, which even extends to the live shows based on the series. |

Done for laughs in Russian movie The Diamond Arm. The movie is declared as "a story in two parts with a prologue and an epilogue". The "second part" is 10 minutes long, takes part immediately after the end of the first one and is preceded with a "brief summary of the first part"...that is completely unintelligible and scrolls over the screen in a second. The "second part" even has a name, "The Bone Leg." | |

Doctor Who uses these in its new series multi-episode stories, usually leading up to a recap of the previous cliffhanger to segue into the title sequence. They are also used when previous events of a story arc need to be recapped. In the classic series, later parts of a serial would show the last minute or so of the previous episode, something New Who supremo Steven Moffat never understood: "It doesn't tell you anything!" The late 1970s U.S. syndication of the show initially added proper recaps for this reason; some of these bumpers have since appeared as bonus features on the DVD releases. The first episode of "Castrovalva" is the only classic series episode to have a Previously On segment to the previous serial, recapping the ending of "Logopolis" before segueing into the title sequence. "The Sound of Drums", despite being the middle episode of the new series' first three-parter, does not have a Previously On segment, instead beginning with our heroes landing in a London alleyway. Averted, quite dramatically, in "Heaven Sent", even though its events follow on from those of the previous episode "Face the Raven". The episode starts with an ominous voiceover monologue from the Doctor as he is Trapped in Another World, whereupon he has a flashback to THE key event of the previous episode and declares vengeance against his unseen enemy. The Series 9 finale that follows, "Hell Bent", does open with a Previously On segment that recaps both "Face the Raven" and "Heaven Sent". Taken Up to Eleven in "Twice Upon a Time", with perhaps the biggest gap in history between the "previously on" and the episode it's referencing. The 1986 season of the show was one long story — the fourteen-part "The Trial of a Time Lord". Realising that a fourteen-part story would be difficult to follow in an age where a home video recorder was still seen as a luxury, producer John Nathan-Turner wrote brief summaries of the story so far for the Continuity Announcement to read out before each episode, accompanied by still images from previous episodes. This tactic was also used for several later 80s stories. |

Person of Interest: Recapped scenes (and flashbacks) are shown as if from the perspective of The Machine (through security cameras). This makes the segment recapping the previous events appear to be The Machine reviewing past events. What's unusual about this is that there have been some instances where the previouslies don't match The Machine's POV shots that were shown in the episodes its recapping. For example, in the episode following Control's unmasking, the recap doesn't give her the red "threat" box that she should have, and in the season two premiere, recaps showing "Caroline Turing" show her with a white "neutral" square as opposed to the yellow square she had for the entire season one finale. | |

CSI had a "Previously on CSI..." sequence for the first three episodes, until they realized how pointless it was for an episodic Forensic Drama and dropped it. The show was pretty heavy on Character Arcs in its first episodes (mainly surrounding the murdered rookie and Warrick's gambling problems), which were why they were necessary. CSI, NCIS, and other procedurals that have season-long story arcs in addition to the Killer of the Week plots will use this when the episode is about to jump full speed into those arcs. Two-part episodes will also use it (or alternately, a season opener that needs to refresh everyone's memory as to what happened in last season's finale). It was also used in crossovers, to recap the events on the other member of the franchise. |

The Unbiased History of Rome started off the episode on the Severan Dynasty with a "Previously On" segment, where instead of portraying Commodus as a pathetic megalomaniac whose rule ended the era of the Five Good Emperors with a whimper while mixing in a retelling of Gladiator, he was portrayed as a Chad who was a stud in the gladiatorial ring before being strangled in his bath after a poisoning attempt was literally vomited outnote a truer account of contemporary Roman history, where the series went with Maximus killing him. And then: | |

Whenever a Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf episode is a continuation of a previous episode, it will contain a clip summing up the earlier part's events in about 20 seconds and explain how it leads into the current episode. | |

Battlestar Galactica (2003): Every episode has a short segment on past events, with a tendency to contain redubbed or never-before-aired scenes. These recaps often descend into spoiler territory since, whenever a major character dies, the Previouslys are about them and they do the voiceover. (And, just to frak with your head, the opening credits contain Blipverts of the coming episodes which are even worse than the ever-spoiling commercials.) | |

Top Gear: The show had its first ever two-part episode in Series 19, and in keeping with the grand tradition of the Mundane Made Awesome openings the show usually does, it has such epic scenes as Clarkson finding a bone in his kebab, Hammond buying an iron and a kettle, and May adjusting the cot in the back of his car. | |

The 4400 being a very plot driven show had this every episode. As the show went on, and each episode tried to list EVERY relevant event, they started getting comedically long, as episodes from several seasons ago would be recapped. | |

The Legend of Korra has a Previously On sequence. Hilariously, it's done in the style of an old serial movie, complete with grainy, sepia-toned footage and a stereotypical "newsreel" announcer (who is also the in-universe pro-bending announcer). This is replaced for one episode by Tarrlok recapping the events in a press conference after Shiro Shinobi, the announcer, was electrocuted in the previous episode. He's back by the next one, though. | |

Used hilariously in Happy Tree Friends. One episode began with a 2-minute Previously On that was actually just a montage of various deaths from previous episodes. When the episode actually starts, it's just Lumpy knitting for ten seconds, then a 2-minute On the Next that was, again, just a montage of previous deaths. | |

Kingdom Hearts III has an interesting example. The Caribbean world adapts the events of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, skipping over the second film after Kingdom Hearts II adapted the first in its Port Royal world. Because of this, the world starts with a chorus of pirates singing a variation of "A Pirate's Life For Me" that recaps the events of Dead Man's Chest. | |

Gossip Girl does this every episode, but the writers are rather ingenious in that seemingly innocuous lines or events that happen will more often than not get their payoffs or seem at all important until whole seasons later. Gossip Girl will remind you of details that happened in the 1st season in the 4th season where those events will lead to important things that happen. When a random short segment from season 2 that you've forgotten all about appears in a 4th season opener, you know something's about to go down. One particular case where a seemingly throw away line paid off a season later was Jenny mentioning off hand towards the end of the 3rd season that Serena and Damien knew each other from boarding school, and something happened with one of her teachers. (Paraphrase). It's disregarded and never mentioned for the rest of the season, until it becomes the ENTIRE central plot of the first half of season 4. |

Halloween II (1981), which picked up right where the original left off, began with an abridged version of that film's ending, albeit using alternate takes. Texas Chainsaw 3D did something similar, although unlike Halloween II, it was made decades later. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers begins by showing Michael Myers' defeat from Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. The Producer's Cut of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers features a flashback to the ending of Halloween 5 early on. Halloween: Resurrection began with a flashback to the end of Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later. Halloween Ends, following the prologue, features a recap of the previous three films in this timeline over Laurie's narration. |

Doom Patrol initially had its episodes begin with recaps bringing the viewer up to speed on what happened previously, but dispensed with them halfway through the series' run, presumably because the production company caught on that since the show was made for streaming and most audiences would binge-watch every episode that they could, there was little point in doing recaps at the episodes' beginnings anyway. | |

Homestar Runner: In the Strong Bad Email "fingers", there's a Batman-style montage of lots of emails asking the one question Strong Bad hates to hear ("How do you type with boxing gloves on?"), complete with narration: "Frustration of frustrations! It's all they ever ask! Will they never cease?! Stay tuned to find out!" The later 'toon "DNA Evidence" played this trope straight (albeit with Homestar managing to mispronounce "previously"): all the instances shown where the phrase "DNA evidence" was mentioned actually appeared previous Strong Bad Emails. |

Brilliantly exploited in the last episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer to appear on The WB (at the end of season five): clips or images from nearly all 99 previous episodes appear in an accelerating, rapid fire montage. This was then followed up with an extended "Previously" for the sixth season's premiere, summarizing all previous seasons for the benefit of UPN viewers who had never seen the show before. The previously was used on several occasions to introduce important elements from Angel for the benefit of Buffy viewers who didn't watch the spin-off series. These were variously prefaced with Giles's narration: "Previously on Buffy the Vampire Slayer [...] and on Angel", with clips after each program title; or simply with "Previously". Buffy was also guilty of spoiling their own surprises with their previouslies. Ah, here I am, sitting down to watch my favorite show... yes, previously on Buffy there was that scene with this season's Big Bad... yep, and that emotional moment between Buffy and her beau of the moment... and hey, look, a clip of Faith from four years ago. Gee, I wonder what's going to happen in this episode? Joss Whedon seemed to be aware of this problem, which is why he had almost all the previouslies removed from the American DVD release of the show, though they remained in other versions. In several episodes you can hear the last second of the musical sting as it transitions from the recap into the proper episode, though. Buffy also had one of the shortest previously ons, consisting of the short line "You're fired" before starting the episode "The Zeppo." They aren't removed from Netflix Instant Stream (Though every episode is there). There's a particularly lengthy one at the start of the two-part season six finale, which as a one-off is spoken by Xander rather than Giles... to hide the fact that Giles comes back at the end of the episode. Angel used previouslies to the same effect, and the DVD's have the mixed blessing of not including any of them. On the one hand, Wesley's voice-over just sounded cool, and losing the recaps cuts down on the broadcast nostalgia factor. On the other hand, the DVD viewer's spared ten straight episodes all prefaced by a flashback to Connor and Cordelia's intimate moment... |

Recaps by the main characters are used at the beginning of Pretty Cure episodes beginning with KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode. However, Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure doesn't do this and instead has Hikaru say "I'm Hikaru Hoshina, an eighth grader who loves space! Today I'll become Pretty Cure again and draw what I want with my own imagination!" in every episode introduction, which even extends to the live shows based on the series. | |

Family Guy: "Brian Does Hollywood", the second half of a two-part episode, opens with a montage consisting of the characters reenacting common cliffhanger scenes, including a Red Wire Blue Wire scene. Only the final line in the montage has any relevance to the actual storyline, and it wasn't really a line from the previous episode. Not quite a parody, but "Lois Kills Stewie" opened with Tom Tucker and Ollie Williams recapping the previous episode, "Stewie Kills Lois", as if it were a news story. Sort of. "Petey IV" opens with a recap in the style of Survivor, even narrated by Jeff Probst himself. "Dead Dog Walking" opens with a cut to a scene from "Death Has a Shadow" (the pilot episode), then a scene from one of the Star Wars parody episodes, before finally getting to the ending of "Married with Cancer" with Brian marrying Jess and soon regretting it. |

This is used by many long-running series as a cost-cutting measure. Dragon Ball Z was particularly infamous for this, as it opened each episode with long recaps which typically lasted five minutes or more, and would sometimes replay entire sequences from previous episodes. The recaps even had their own theme music which played over them. | |

Austin & Ally has this at the beginning of both "Partners & Parachutes" and "Last Dances & Last Chances". Trish said the "previously on" line for the former and Austin said the line on the latter. Despite the penultimate episode ending on a To Be Continued, there was no "previously on" on the final episode because the first scene begins with the last scene from the previous episode but leads to a "Four years later" scene, kick starting the episode's events. | |

Durarara!! has a 20-second recap of information relevant to the episode mixed into the opening theme of most episodes. These usually give a decent idea of which characters will have an impact on the events, and sometimes foreshadow Chekhov's Gun moments. | |

Star Trek: Voyager. The episode "Bride of Chaotica!" starts with a cliffhanger recap of The Adventures of Captain Proton a holodeck program in the style of a 1930's Republic Film Serial. We then cut to Tom Paris and Harry Kim watching the recap on the imagizer, and complaining that the scene of their rocketship bursting into flame never actually happened. | |

Legends of Tomorrow uses a format where one character gives a brief narration, ending with some version of "Don't call us heroes. We're legends." Which veers into parody when it's Mick's turn: | |

Tinkered with on The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. On its original CBS run and when it first played in syndication, each episode was followed by the start of a new episode that ended after a minute with a cliffhanger and a To Be Continued title card. A week later, the episode resumes with a Previously On recap of the previous week's teaser. | |

Twillight Sparkle's awesome adventure has a "recap" that mostly consists of dialogue from previous chapters, chosen completely at random and presented without any context—thus, completely useless as a recap. | |

One episode of Friends started with Joey sitting down explaining the previous episodes to the audience. As he explained each characters subplot he'd end up saying "I don't really know what happened there" and "I don't really know what happened there either". He finished with "Y'know what, hold on, let me go get Chandler." The second season opened with Phoebe recapping what happened between Ross and Rachel in the season finale. The recap ends in a typically Phoebe-ish way: |

Despite being one of the first heavily story-arc-driven shows on American TV, Babylon 5 notably did not use "Previously On" sequences except in the case of outright two-partersnote "A Voice in the Wilderness", "War Without End" and "Movements of Fire and Shadow"/"The Fall of Centauri Prime". Instead, episodes tended to begin with As You Know dialogue between characters. At points where scenes from previous episodes were necessary to understand what was happening, the relevant clip would be shown as a brief cutaway flashback in black-and-white. This served the normal purpose of a recap while still avoiding a Spoiler Opening. However, these were used very sparingly. The fifth season's opening credits did function as a sort-of "Previously On", consisting of a montage of quotes and clips from all four previous seasons in chronological order, but it was not comprehensive. |

Frozen II: On meeting the Northuldrans, Olaf decides to introduce himself to them by doing a humorously over-the-top recap of the first movie. In The Stinger, Olaf does it again, explaining the events of the movie to Marshmallow and the Snowgies. This hilarious sequence inspired a Disney+ short-form series entitled Olaf Presents, in which Olaf recaps the events of The Little Mermaid, The Lion King (1994), Moana, Tangled and Aladdin. | |

The Robotbox and Cactus episode "Some Journey" follows up on the episode "Some Death"... but the only thing in the pre-opening recap is ghost Cactus saying "I'm dead!" "Some Fate" then follows "Some Journey" in a similar fashion, with the only scene in the recap being the Bridgemaster saying "no". | |
