Pseudo-Crisis	comment	Oh no! A bad guy has walked in on a member of a group running an Impossible Mission, or something has otherwise Gone Horribly Wrong in the plan. This happens right before a commercial break, usually about 40 minutes into an hour-long show. Fortunately, right after the commercials, the hero or team will quickly dispose of the crisis and it will have no effect on the rest of the episode. Note that this can be done well, as repeated uses in quick succession can lull the viewer into a false sense of security so that when the real crisis strikes, it's more serious. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It also sometimes happens in The Teaser to get the audience interested in the show, in which case it's resolved early in the first act. In especially egregious cases, there's no reason for the main plot to present a Pseudo Crisis, so instead a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment will force one. May lead to odd moments if you watch it on DVD without commercials. A Sub-Trope of Cliffhanger Copout. Examples:

Pseudo-Crisis / int_1beda93b	comment	Sluggy Freelance has used these between daily strips. In "The Isle of Dr. Steve", one strip ends with Torg being held by Oasis — brainwashed and just ordered to "love him" — when her controller, Dr. Steve, suddenly tells her to snap his neck instead. Actually, it ends with the sound effect we know is associated with her breaking someone's neck. Then the next strip cuts back to Zoë and Aylee elsewhere talking about something else. Then the next strip after that cuts back to show Bun-bun had just taken control of Oasis, and the snapping sound was from his eating celery. (Of course, subsequently he also tells Oasis to break Torg's neck, just For the Evulz.) A Friday strip once ended with Riff being ambushed and bitten on the head by a zombie. The following Saturday and Sunday are Filler strips, so Sluggy fans had to wait three days to find out what was going to happen. And when Monday comes around ... it turns out the zombie attack was just Torg "punking" Riff with a harmless zombie head on a stick.

Pseudo-Crisis / int_2212773a	comment	In Angel, the title character completely despairs of being able to do good in his Crapsack World, and has sex with his old flame Darla hoping for a moment of perfect happiness that will end his curse and let him be the evil, soulless Angelus again. The episode ends with him clutching at his chest, just like he did the last time his soul was removed in parent show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but in the next episode we find that he still has his soul: not one moment of happiness that whole night! No reason for his chest clutching is given (beyond Angel's implied love of melodrama while having a personal epiphany).

Grampa tells the family he's died, and they all look on sadly as the commercial break starts. When the show returns, it turns out SLH is in fact still alive (though sick), and the family all berate Grampa for "toying with people's emotions like that." Grampa still insists the dog's dead however, despite blatant evidence to the contrary, tired of the argument he leaves.

Either way, he almost always gets out of it by using his web. 90% of the time he simply swings away; the other 10%, he turns his web into a shield, sling, parachute, trampoline, or other object.

The following page shows Doc driving the police car, and explains how the situation was resolved with a header reminding readers that "HE IS A NINJA." Here. Gordito is forced to spend detention with the teacher that he suspects to be a demon in disguise. The teacher's final comment (and dramatic lighting) implies that he knows Gordito was spying on him the night before... but on the next page. it turns out he was referring to something else entirely. In another issue, the Dr is searching a temple and becomes completely surrounded by robotic traps pointing at him from every direction. Even the Alt Text snarks "clearly he dies on the next page." Then over the next two pages, he just avoids everything and all the traps destroy each other.

Back at the SGC the object is revealed to be a hologram of Narim telling them that Earth is in grave danger. Post-credits, Narim admits he had only vague worries to base that on. Worse, in the teaser he'd only just learned Earth was involved, and shouldn't have had time to make the hologram. It turns out there IS a threat, but Narim didn't know that at the start.

Towards the end of the episode after the audience has likely forgotten about the line, it turns out to be a subversion, as he actually is dying, having deliberately poisoned himself just before saying the line. In the sixth season episode "The Sound of Her Voice", the Defiant's crew is racing to save a marooned Starfleet captain with whom they are in constant radio communications. While talking with a distracted Dr. Bashir, she suddenly exclaims that there's something approaching her cave, and then begins screaming as if under attack. Cut to commercials, and when we're back we discover that this was just a ploy she used to get Bashir's undivided attention. Only two episodes later, in "Image in the Sand", Sisko is stabbed by a cultist behind his dad's restaurant, and his belly slashed open. We cut to commercial break as Jake is holding his dying and profusely bleeding father in his arms, crying for help. Back from commercials, and here's Sisko back from the hospital, absolutely no worse for wear.

Pseudo-Crisis / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation had an epic one in "Up the Long Ladder", an episode that was more focused on diplomacy rather than any urgent situation (i.e. no battles or powerful evil forces). At the end of the teaser, right before the main title, Worf spontaneously faints on the bridge! After the main title, it is revealed that he just came down with the Klingon equivalent of measles. (The resulting B-plot is actually pretty all right, but still, talk about a Pseudo Crisis). There's also a rather famous one after the first episode of "Best of Both Worlds", which worked fine when there were months between part I and part II, but kind of falls flat if you watch the series on DVD or streaming. The end of Part I has Riker ordering Worf to fire their jury-rigged weapon they expect will be able to destroy the Borg cube, sacrificing the captured Picard in order to try and save Earth. The beginning of Part II shows the weapon did squat, because the Borg knew about it before it was fired (due to taking Picard's memories, rendering all of their preparations null). This threat escalation overshadows the drama of Riker's decision to sacrifice Picard and the topic isn't really brought up again. Until, in a drawn-out inversion, Riker reversing the decision by launching a rescue mission for Picard leads to the Borg's defeat just as they reach Earth. A minor one in "Future Imperfect", where Riker awakes 16 years in the future with a 16-year hole in his memory, to discover that he's now captain of the Enterprise and that he has a young son. Mid-way through the episode, he gets a call from Dr. Crusher telling him that his son has been injured! Cut to commercial break, he broke his wrist. Crusher heals this injury in two minutes. It should be noted that this event does serve Riker's story in this episode, as the oddity makes him more suspicious about what's really going on, despite being a Pseudo Crisis from the audience's viewpoint. Star Trek: The Original Series did this a few times. In the episode "The Apple", Spock pushes Kirk out of the way to save him from the darts of a deadly-poisonous plant, but ends up being hit by the darts himself and falling unconscious. McCoy's serum fails to help, and he says Spock must be beamed back up to the ship immediately. As they try to beam out, the transporter promptly fails, stranding the crew on the planet - implying a serious risk to Spock's life. Fortunately, after the commercial break, Spock comes to and is quite alright. In The Teaser of "The Trouble With Tribbles", the Enterprise receives a Priority One distress call from space station K7, indicating a disaster has occurred. During the first act, they learn that a Federation bureaucrat sent the message because he thought a cargo of grain at the station was endangered. In a variant, this is actually a Pseudo Crisis in-universe; Kirk is angry at the overreaction, and refuses to take the diplomat seriously from then on.

Said bomber turns out to be watching them through a sniper scope. He waits until Cowley enters the caravan as well, then fires into the caravan to detonate the explosives he's hidden there, resulting in a huge explosion! Cut to the hospital where Cowley is being rolled in on a gurney and the doctor is told the blast killed two men and injured one. Bodie and Doyle (unharmed and unblemished except for a slight deafness) are then revealed to be Faking the Dead so they can ambush the killer when he turns up to finish off Cowley. Why they'd bother doing so is not mentioned; the bomber would hardly let his guard down given that there are other CI5 agents still alive. Cowley too is revealed to be unharmed, despite having a game leg that would have impeded him in Outrunning the Fireball!

The next issue opens with him using his web-shooters to latch on to a tree branch, immediately ending the crisis...until the tree branch breaks and falls on him, which also causes his web shooters to jam. Fortunately, immediately afterwards, Ka-Zar swings by and helps.

Cut back to the nanny, now in a police station. Policeman: "You sure are lucky we found those kids, ma'am."

It's quickly revealed later that they easily distracted the bridesmaids by throwing a bouquet at the trio and letting them fight for it while they escaped.

Pseudo-Crisis / int_c43df4d8	comment	The original Doctor Who did this incessantly between parts of their serials. "The Ice Warriors": At one cliffhanger, the Doctor is in the airlock of the Ice Warrior ship trying to open up negotiations with them. The Ice Warriors ask him who he is. He responds in a generically evasive sort of way. The Ice Warriors tell him that unless he reveals who he is they will drain the oxygen out of the airlock. We see the oxygen pressure gauge draining!! ...and the next episode has the Doctor say "I'm the Doctor and I'm here to open up negotiations", so the Ice Warrior switches the air back on. "The Sea Devils": One cliffhanger culminates in the Master throwing a knife at the Doctor!! ...with the next episode revealing he just casually missed. "Genesis of the Daleks", where Sarah loses her grip on a ledge and screams as she plummets... actually, no, there's a ledge six inches below her, and she continues to climb. "The Ark in Space" has Harry opening a cupboard and suddenly being sprung upon by some sort of horrible wasp thing!! ...and at the start of the next episode it immediately turns out it was dead — it wasn't launching at him, it was just falling. "The Android Invasion" has a cliffhanger where Sarah and the Doctor are getting blasted off into space and are overcome by the G-force... and then they escape the planet's gravity and everything's fine. Particularly sloppy since the scene immediately after this shows a pod opening to reveal an evil robot Doctor. "The Brain of Morbius": One episode ends with Sarah pulling back a curtain to reveal a horribly deformed headless frankenbody that sits up and appears to lunge. Cue screechy end of episode riff and goose bumps. In the next episode, the body is merely twitching a little and Sarah barely registers surprise. She doesn't even scream. Sarah Jane Smith doesn't scream. Weak. "The Deadly Assassin": The Doctor takes a sniper rifle from a balcony, aims, and shoots the Lord President of Gallifrey dead. It's pure Superdickery, and the next episode it's revealed he was actually trying to shoot the person trying to shoot the President. Chancellor Goth grabbed the Doctor from behind and started to drown him at the end of an episode. The next week, the man lost energy for no apparent reason, and the Doctor threw him off with ease. One of the most egregious: "Dragonfire", where in the last few minutes of an episode the Doctor puts himself into a literal cliffhanger ending situation, for no apparent reason. He suddenly leaves a perfectly safe path to clamber off a high ledge — at which point he finds himself dangling by his umbrella handle, looking horrifiedly down at the yawning chasm below... Then at the start of the following episode he makes it back up again with no real difficulty. Much, much later this scene was retroactively explained as a consequence of the Great Intelligence messing with the Doctor's timeline in an attempt to destroy him. "Aliens of London" ends on the Doctor being electrocuted with a lethal amount of electricity! At the beginning of the next episode... turns out that amount wasn't lethal for Time Lords, or even enough to seriously inconvenience them for any period of time. "The Impossible Planet": In The Teaser, the Doctor and Rose are wandering though a planetary base and are suddenly cornered by a crowd of Lovecraftian-looking aliens chanting "WE MUST FEED! WE MUST FEED!" and we cut to the opening credits. When we cut back:

When we returned, our hero would then quickly produce just the cards needed to win, earlier fear forgotten.

Pseudo-Crisis / int_d2bae484	comment	The Amazing Race is absolutely horrible with these. Occasionally there will be a real Commercial Break Cliffhanger, but for every other commercial break, this will happen. In particular, whenever a strong team on a season finale finishes the final task way ahead of everyone else, they will show as much as they can of the first-place team struggling on the final task and/or while making the trip to the finish line. Meanwhile, they'll also show very little footage from the second-place team, to make it look like the second-place team is catching up and might overtake the leaders at the last minute. They never do.

During the last bit, he gets his hand stuck, leaving him without cover, right as the guys are on the other side of the door about to blow it. After playing it for all the suspense they can...the detonator's batteries are dead. Then, once that's been resolved, they blow the door open...and find their inside man safe inside, wondering what took them so long.

As the last one was passing by, Muffin the dagget barked. The Cylon stopped and looked towards the noise... TO BE CONTINUED. Next week, the Cylon just wandered off.

In Angel, the title character completely despairs of being able to do good in his Crapsack World, and has sex with his old flame Darla hoping for a moment of perfect happiness that will end his curse and let him be the evil, soulless Angelus again. The episode ends with him clutching at his chest, just like he did the last time his soul was removed in parent show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but in the next episode we find that he still has his soul: not one moment of happiness that whole night! No reason for his chest clutching is given (beyond Angel's implied love of melodrama while having a personal epiphany).

Pseudo-Crisis / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation had an epic one in "Up the Long Ladder", an episode that was more focused on diplomacy rather than any urgent situation (i.e. no battles or powerful evil forces). At the end of the teaser, right before the main title, Worf spontaneously faints on the bridge! After the main title, it is revealed that he just came down with the Klingon equivalent of measles. (The resulting B-plot is actually pretty all right, but still, talk about a Pseudo Crisis). There's also a rather famous one after the first episode of "Best of Both Worlds", which worked fine when there were months between part I and part II, but kind of falls flat if you watch the series on DVD or streaming. The end of Part I has Riker ordering Worf to fire their jury-rigged weapon they expect will be able to destroy the Borg cube, sacrificing the captured Picard in order to try and save Earth. The beginning of Part II shows the weapon did squat, because the Borg knew about it before it was fired (due to taking Picard's memories, rendering all of their preparations null). This threat escalation overshadows the drama of Riker's decision to sacrifice Picard and the topic isn't really brought up again. Until, in a drawn-out inversion, Riker reversing the decision by launching a rescue mission for Picard leads to the Borg's defeat just as they reach Earth. A minor one in "Future Imperfect", where Riker awakes 16 years in the future with a 16-year hole in his memory, to discover that he's now captain of the Enterprise and that he has a young son. Mid-way through the episode, he gets a call from Dr. Crusher telling him that his son has been injured! Cut to commercial break, he broke his wrist. Crusher heals this injury in two minutes. It should be noted that this event does serve Riker's story in this episode, as the oddity makes him more suspicious about what's really going on, despite being a Pseudo Crisis from the audience's viewpoint.
