Sanctuary of Solitude | comment |
A character is stressed or scared and is confused about what to do. Things have gotten rough, and their faith is close to breaking. Or they could just be lonely and seeking a place to feel at home, and there's nothing like God's house to help them there. They often sit in a pew by themselves, thinking, or even praying to God about their situation. Sometimes a pastor comes in to talk to them, or another character from the series does. The question of why the church is being left unlocked and seemingly unsupervised even in the sort of neighbourhood where this would attract thieves and vandals is usually left unaddressed. It's a common thing in dramas and Soap Opera shows for someone to go pray alone in the hospital chapel for the deathly ill person to pull through. Seeking Sanctuary is a different trope in which the heroes of the story are being pursued by evil forces and they run into a church for protection. Truth in Television, obviously, particularly in the case of the hospital chapel. After all, that's why they're there. Also Truth in Television for small chapels in some rural areas. |

Dr. Gregory House occasionally goes to the chapel of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Never to pray, of course; it's just a place where a) nearly everyone who comes in there is going to be quiet and self-absorbed and (the key part) not bother him and b) it's not a place that would logically come to the mind of anyone who actually knows him even slightly, so it's a good place to hide from Cuddy/Wilson/The Fellows. | |

The Lost Fleet: Captain Geary spends a fair amount of on-page time in the equivalent of the ship's chapel praying to his ancestors and "the living stars" for guidance. More often than not, he seems to receive it. The trope is played with a bit in that the worship spaces are intended for solitary use: To allow someone else to accompany you is a gesture of great significance, and usually only done by one's spouse or close relative. | |

In Easy A, Olive feels bitter when she enters a confessional and spills out all her insecurities, only to find out later that no one was in the other half of the cell. (Of course, the whole point of God is that no human can replace Him, so...) The 'solitude' part of the trope is especially important because the bullies victimizing her are mostly religious fundamentalists. Olive correctly anticipated they would not be in the church they claim to honor so much. | |

Happens several times in Criminal Minds: At the end of "Lucky", Morgan, who's been dealing with a crisis of faith, goes to church for the first time in years. Ironically, he's there because his 'baby girl' Garcia is mad at him and refused to spend the evening with him. As a result of that, she gets shot by her date. The team can't reach him to tell him because he's turned his phone off in church. Morgan lampshades it in the next episode asking Reid "What are the odds that the first time I pray in twenty years, she's on the table?" Prentiss subverts the trope in "Demonology" when she walks home instead of leaving with the team when Silvano is finally captured. She ends up outside a church (which she hasn't been in since her abortion at fifteen) and while she looks longingly at it, the last shot is of her deciding not to go in. Gideon ends up in a church at some point for himself (I'm blanking on when it is), but he also follows a young girl into one in "The Popular Kids". She confesses what's really been going on with the murders the BAU is investigating and she blames herself, though Gideon tries to help. |
