Multiple (often two) characters, who usually share a large amount of animosity, get trapped in a room (safe, elevator, etc.) and must spend the episode alone together. During which time they learn a new appreciation for each other. If being locked in the room also puts the characters in danger, then they are Locked in a Freezer. If their mates locked them there intentionally, to get them to resolve an issue or light a spark between them, it's also Ten Minutes in the Closet. If they must work together to accomplish something (such as escaping from the room), it's also Enemy Mine. If they're Locked in a Room and have no idea how they got there, that's You Wake Up in a Room, which is a type of Ontological Mystery. They're in trouble if one of them suffers from Claustrophobia. Sometimes takes the form of Subways Suck. Usually a type of Bottle Episode, this trope is almost a requirement of any Sitcom that's been on for more than a couple of years. This is also an extremely common trope for playwrights, particularly for short two-hander plays. In addition to being an easy way to force conflict, it makes set design much simpler. Four walls are not a requirement - two characters locked out on a roof is essentially the same trope only without the claustrophobia. (In reality, most building codes state roof doors cannot lock on the outside, though, to prevent this from happening.) See also Chained Heat, Rats in a Box, and Room Escape Game. |

Happens to Shiro and Mozart in Afterschool Charisma, along with little Pandora. It's more to keep them safe than to make them get along, though, and they don't really learn a new respect for each other. Earlier, it looks like Napoleon and Ikkyu are going to do this to Shiro and Freud to help them reconcile... but they actually just throw them into the girls' locker room. While the girls are changing. | |

Room by Emma Donoghue. The book is about a mother and her five-year-old child who are kept captive in a small room for years by a kidnapper. The child was born in the room and has never been outside in his life. Has since been made into an Oscar-winning movie. | |

An episode of Magic User's Club has Sae and Ayanojyo locked in a closet, with Sae more and more unnerved as she realizes how long it might be before someone finds them. The audience thinks it's sexual tension between her and the attractive bishonen... and then, when she's finally freed, the true problem is discovered as she races to the nearest bathroom. | |

One Foot in the Grave has episodes with the main character alone in his house, or in the dark with a power cut and there is one episode where he and his wife are stuck in a traffic jam. There was actually one episode which was just Victor and Margaret in their bedroom late at night trying to fall asleep. Technically, the door wasn't locked, but the episode was essentially just thirty minutes of the two of them arguing. At the end they get absolutely nowhere. |

The main thrust of the House episode "One Day, One Room" was a patient refusing to speak to anybody other than House (he explicitly describes himself as "trapped in the room with her"), and the two of them forcing each other to confront their demons (being victims of rape and paternal abuse, respectively). "Lockdown" has several pairs of characters trapped together; Wilson and Thirteen, Taub and Foreman, Chase and Cameron, and House and a dying patient. |

In the Castle episode "Setup" Beckett and Castle are locked up while they are tested for radiation poisoning and again in the same episode when they are locked in a freezer to freeze to death. And then again in the episode "Cuffed" where Castle and Beckett wake up in a locked room, handcuffed together on a bed with no memories of how they got there. Tensions mount when a hungry tiger breaks into the room. |

Also invoked in another episode, where the characters lock Skinner and Krabappel in a room to get them to work out the teacher's strike. After banging on the door for several hours they finally agree to talk. |

An interesting version appears in Heroes, when Peter gets himself stuck inside Sylar's head while the latter is in a telepathy-induced coma. Naturally, they start seething at each other, complete with Sylar getting punched in the teeth. They end up having to draw an truce at the end of the episode, which allows them both to escape and wake up from their comas. | |

(Admitedly, half this and half 'chained together') Misato and Kaji get stuck in an elevator, which increases the tension of their relationship. Downplayed with the infamous 'elevator scene' between Rei & Asuka. It's only a few minutes, but it spends those minutes building up silent tension because Asuka has grown to hate Rei. When Rei decides to speak... |

The second episode of Clerks: The Animated Series revolved around this. The old friends locked in an industrial refrigerator together started to reminisce about their wacky adventures, turning the trope into the framework for a Clip Show...except, since this was the second episode, there was only one episode to show clips from. This got even more surreal when the second episode was broadcast first, meaning viewers had never seen the clips it kept referencing. | |

In the first level of Second Sight, John Vattic has the opportunity to lock two security guards in the isolation cell he just escaped from; very quickly, the two of them discover that neither of them owns a working radio, and help will not be arriving for hours. Since the windows of the cell are large and shatterproof, the player has the luxury of watching the two guards slaughter each other. Bring some popcorn. | |

Masterfully subverted in the episode "Dawg Days" from The Shield. After an escalating feud between two gang members threatens to spiral out of control, a group of police officers lock them together in a storage container overnight, they jokingly assume that the normal course of events will occur and the two will settle their differences. However, when they return the next morning one of the gang members walks out and proclaims of his 'container-mate' "he ain't coming". | |

Smallville used this trope a lot. "Lockdown": Lex and Lana are locked in an overheating panic room. "Mercy": Lionel and Martha are locked in an elevator. "Nemesis": Lex and Clark are trapped in bomb-infested tunnels. "Gemini": Chloe and Jimmy are trapped in an elevator. "Descent": Lois and Jimmy are locked in a freezer. |

Stargate SG-1 example from "Zero Hour," courtesy of the unique command style of General O'Neill. To force a pair of alien delegates to behave like adults and come to an agreement, he puts them in 'time out' together in a small room. With a fruit basket. In all fairness, it did work. In a nod to this, Sheppard suggests something similar with the leaders of two soon-to-be warring villagers, but Weir turns him down. Given later events, everyone would have been saved some trouble had she ok'd it. |

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Dogs of War", Bashir and the new Dax end up having their First Kiss in an elevator on their way to Ops, much to Worf's disgust. In the episode "The Forsaken", Bashir gets stuck in a malfunctioning section of the station with a posse of annoying diplomats with no respect for him and the whole group come out friends, and Odo and Lwaxana Troi are trapped in a turbolift together. The episode "Life Support" sees Jake arranging to get locked in a cell with Nog in order to make up with him after an argument. |

Star Trek examples: Numerous episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series involved the characters being locked in prison and trying to escape. One notable example was "The Menagerie". Done with multiple groups in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Disaster", some more annoyed at their company than others. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes "Starship Down", where Bashir and Dax are trapped in a malfunctioning turbolift together and resolved the issue of Bashir's unrequited crush on Dax by agreeing to remain Just Friends. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Dogs of War", Bashir and the new Dax end up having their First Kiss in an elevator on their way to Ops, much to Worf's disgust. In the episode "The Forsaken", Bashir gets stuck in a malfunctioning section of the station with a posse of annoying diplomats with no respect for him and the whole group come out friends, and Odo and Lwaxana Troi are trapped in a turbolift together.

In the season 10 premier "Extreme Prejudice," Tony and Ziva are trapped in an elevator together and considering how much they bickered in the aforementioned season 3 episode, they seemed to have a bit more of a bonding experience this time around... |

They did several of these, most famously "Comrades In Arms" in which Hawkeye and Margaret are trapped behind enemy lines and take shelter in an abandoned hut. Debate rages as to whether or not They Did It. |

Has happened twice in One Piece so far. The first time is in the Alabasta arc. Captain Smoker is pursuing the Straw Hats, and due to Luffy's idiocy, they fall through a trapdoor into an inescapable cage, courtesy of the saga's Big Bad, Crocodile. He proceeds to spell out his Evil Plan, and Smoker learns that the Straw Hats are only there to help the country's princess foil the plan. Once they escape, and Zoro saves Smoker from drowning, he lets them go, and leaves to inform his superiors of what he learned. He has a newfound respect for the Straw Hats by the saga's end, when they have saved the country. Occurrence number 2, post-Time Skip. Vice-Admiral Smoker and his protégé, Captain Tashigi, are waiting for the Straw Hats in the New World. When the pirates take an unexpected detour, to an island that is supposed to be uninhabited, they follow them. They soon discover that the arc's Big Bad, a Mad Scientist, is using it as a base. Long story short, they learn too much and are imprisoned along with three members of the Straw Hat crew (including Robin, who was Crocodile's Dragon and lampshades the situation's irony) and the Big Bad's subordinate who was revealed to be a Wild Card, Warlord of the Sea Trafalgar Law. They watch the Evil Plan play out in front of them, and are then exposed to it. When they escape, Smoker and Tashigi are forced into a full-blown Enemy Mine, and are almost friendly with the Straw Hats when it's all over. |

The Brady Bunch: Used this at least three times, each with Bobby involved: "Little Big Man," where he locks himself with oldest brother Greg in the meat locker at Sam's Butcher Shop, somehow figuring the cold will escape. Bobby is small enough to fit through the window and save the day. "Bobby's Hero," where Greg and Peter — annoyed once and for all at Bobby playing Jesse James with them every time they turn around — decide to teach him a lesson by locking him in the foyer-way closet and locking it. Their father, Mike, puts a quick end to things, playing the judge and telling Sheriff Greg and Deputy Peter to release the inmate immediately ... but Bobby's in for a real butt-chewing afterward (Mike screams into Bobby's ear to tell him to knock it off — permanently and immediately — with the Jesse James act). "My Brother's Keeper," when Bobby and Peter, who had annoyed each other throughout the episode and still continued to test each other's nerves, nearly come to blows in their room. Bobby runs for cover inside the closet, but then the doorknob on the other side of the door falls off, locking him in. Peter leaves him in there for awhile, but then lets him out later once he realizes that Bobby is locked inside. |

Chapter twelve of Omujo! Omutsu Joshi has Morei call Shouta to a gym storage room to make a second attempt at confessing her love, the first having failed due to Shouta misinterpreting Morei's trying to appeal to what she incorrectly thought was his fetish as Morei confessing her fetish. They get locked in the storeroom and only escape when, in embarrassment after a Potty Emergency becomes Potty Failure, Morei punches Shouta through the door. | |

CLANNAD's storage room curse does exactly this. Perform the necessary ritual, think of somebody you want to be locked up with, and later that day you'll be locked up in a room with that person. You could end up being locked with Kyou, Nagisa, Tomoyo, Akio, or Sunohara. The anime adapts Kyou's version. The weirdest part is that it's part of a route that does not involve any of them. | |

All in the Family - In "Two's a Crowd", Archie and Mike get locked in the storeroom of Archie's bar. (This, after Archie had locked himself in the basement of his house a few seasons earlier; you'd think he would have learned...) The first-season episode "The Elevator Story" had Archie get stuck in a stalled elevator with, among other people, a supercilious black businessman and a Puerto Rican man whose wife is going into labor. |

Saw V provides an interesting example as well: each of the four traps is seemingly designed so that one person has to die for the others to move on, while all five could have survived to the end if they had worked together. Cryptic message "Five must become one" works on so many levels. | |

The same happened to most of the cast on Sealab 2021, in the episode "Trapped In The Closet". One by one, over the course of the episode, they were locked into a storage closet by a malfunctioning hatch. In an ironic inversion of Locked in a Freezer, the outside of the closet turns out to be the dangerous area, with angry attack dogs running around. In "Cavemen" Quinn and Stormy end up trapped in a cave by a shark hungry for blood after eating rabbit carcasses. They're unable to call for help because Sealab is burning (yes, underwater) for some reason (it's implied Stormy had something to do with it). And they're running out of oxygen. They don't make it and are reunited in heaven with the rest of the Sealab crew (and also free hookers). |

In "Til Death" the Victims Of The Week are a married couple who both hired a hitman to kill the other. Reese and Finch end up kidnapping them and locking them up in a safe house to resolve their issues. |

The Nancy Drew mystery novels were written (by uncredited authors under a house pseudonym) for children and teens, therefore the editors were adamant that teen sleuth Nancy Drew could not ever be tied up, chained, or shackled, since these bondage predicaments could have sexual implications. But it was recognized that, for plot purposes, a story's villain might have a legitimate need to restrain Nancy's movements. The only acceptable way to do this was for the villain to lock Nancy in a room, leaving her completely unfettered within the room but unable to leave. | |

Happened with nearly every main character in The 4400 episode "No Exit". They had to work together to survive and escape a building that was trying to kill them (long story). In the end it was revealed to be Marco's assistant PJ who was causing it, having taken promicin. Shawn died but recovered, having sorted out at least a few issues with Isabelle and Kyle. Meghan also died, got better, and got more UST with Tom. Maia and Diana had mother-daughter bonding time. Tom got a better understanding of Jordan, although they still seemed to hate each other. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer had the deliberate version of this - when Buffy fell out with Cordelia, the rest of the Scoobies conspired to lock the two in a limousine on the way to the Homecoming Queen dance with a note telling them to sort it out. Doubly subverted, because not only did they spend the entire journey arguing over who should have which corsage (very snidely), the journey then ended in the middle of nowhere, at which point bad guys appeared and started hunting them down like animals. Which actually did cause them to bond a little, in between running from gunmen and fighting demons. Played straight in "What's My Line". Xander and Cordelia are trapped in Buffy's basement with The Worm That Walks lurking upstairs. They start arguing about whether or not to break out, degrading into Volleying Insults which due to Belligerent Sexual Tension ends in a Big Damn Kiss. They then break apart, stare at each other in horror, and mutually agree to break out immediately. And averted in the spinoff series Angel. Angel is furious with Cordelia because she rejected Angel's love only to sleep with his son. Later they're both on guard duty, in the same room for four hours. |

Star Trek: Voyager. When Paris and Neelix start playing tug of war with Kes, it's only a matter of time before the pair of them crash land on a planet and have to overcome the odds to help a cute widdle alien baby to be born. In "Resolutions", Janeway and Chakotay get a disease that forces Voyager to maroon them on their own planet until a cure is found. The episode was designed to explore their UST in an environment where neither had to worry about their command responsibilities. Averted in the Season 7 episode "Natural Law", Chakotay is stranded on a planet with Seven of Nine. Given this trope, the actors wanted to follow up on the C/7 attraction shown in a recent episode. They were refused by the Powers That Be so their Relationship Upgrade in the final episode appears to come out of nowhere. |

Played straight in Breaking Bad's episode 4 Days Out, White and Jesse elect to go out to the middle of nowhere to cook for four straight days. Little did they suspect that the battery on their car would run out, trapping the boys out in the wilderness. What's worse, the backup generator they brought would be ruined by Jesse, leaving them without water in the middle of the hot New Mexico desert. After all attempts fail to get back, White and Jesse are forced to come to terms with each other, through delirious dehydration, and work together. When all hope seems lost, the boys collectively figure out how to create a battery and jump the RV, making it back home. | |

Happens more than once on Diagnosis: Murder . One episode sees Steve and Jack locked in a room where Jack proceeds to have a panic attack due to his severe Claustrophobia. Another episode sees Steve and Jesse trapped in a room in the hospital after the hospital is blown up by a bomber and the door is blocked. The latter lead to the pair discussing what careers they would have chosen had they not became a policeman and a doctor. Jesse mentions that he wanted to own a BBQ restaurant, which he and Steve then do in the following episode and continue to do for the next 3 seasons. | |

Friends has done this at least three times, the first time early in the first season with Ross, Susan and Phoebe locked in a janitor's closet during Carol's labour. The second was when everyone else were trapped together in Monica's bedroom by Ross and Rachel breaking up outside. The third was later, with Ross and Joey locked out on the roof after trying to watch a meteor shower. During a citywide blackout, Chandler was locked in an ATM vestibule with supermodel Jill Goodacre. |

Babylon 5 examples: There's a nice subversion of this trope (as well as Locked in a Freezer) in an episode where G'Kar and Londo were trapped in an elevator and came out hating each other worse than ever. G'Kar was, in fact, deeply disappointed to be rescued, as he had hoped that they would both die, because that would mean he would get to see Londo's death without having to cause it himself (which would have triggered reprisals against the conquered Narn population). An episode by Neil Gaiman had several people locked in different rooms with ghosts. Some were lost loves, some were friends they lost, at least one had a mortal foe giving snarky advice. |

In the third and final chapter of the 1996 Only Fools and Horses Christmas trilogy, "Time On Our Hands", Del Boy deliberately stops an elevator in order to force Rodney to open up to him about his wife Cassandra's miscarriage. As a nod to the frequency of the trope, Del then repairs the lift, revealing that it was never broken in the first place. | |

Inverted in Spongebob Squarepants. Spongebob and Patrick get "trapped" in a cave, already really close (a little too close). Eventually, they decide to eat each other out of hunger. | |

Saw Saw is primarily set inside a bathroom, with two people chained to exposed pipes. Much tension ensues. Saw II has the victims locked in a house, expecting to work together. Saw IV has three of the victims in a room, not necessarily locked in, but if they open the door, two of them die. Rigg blows the trap and causes two of them to die, but not one of them who was necessarily implied to be a victim. Saw V provides an interesting example as well: each of the four traps is seemingly designed so that one person has to die for the others to move on, while all five could have survived to the end if they had worked together. Cryptic message "Five must become one" works on so many levels. |

Done with multiple groups in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Disaster", some more annoyed at their company than others. | |
