* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': First come the vampires. Then come the werewolves.

* Explotiated in ''ComicBook/RedRobin''#15. Vicki Vale managed to put together the secret identities of most of the Bat Family though this method, connecting the dots by looking at relationship connections between various characters. The Bat Family unravels her hard earned theory through a violent version of the usual IdentityImpersonator trick that gets "Tim" get publicly hospitalized, a move shocking enough to convince her to drop the theory in the same manner. After all, if he and Red Robin aren't not the same person, which would mean Bruce probably isn't Batman, Dick isn't Nightwing, Damian isn't Robin, and so on.

* Inverted in ''ComicBook/RedRobin''#15. Vicki Vale managed to put together the secret identities of most of the Bat Family though a lot of guesswork over relationship connections, branching out from when the Joker shot Barbara Gordon. The Bat Family unravels her hard earned theory through a violent version of the usual IdentityImpersonator trick that gets "Tim" get publicly hospitalized, a move shocking enough to convince her that he and Red Robin aren't not the same person, which would mean Bruce probably isn't Batman, Dick isn't Nightwing, Damian isn't Robin, and so on.

* It is unknown what originally tripped the dominos, but in ''ComicBook/RedRobin'', Vicki Vale manages to put together the secret identities of most of the Bat Family by following the relationships and interactions these heroes seem to have with non-costumed individuals. In turn, once Tim realizes what's going on, he unravels her hard earned theory entirely by convincing her that Tim Drake and Red Robin are not the same person, which would mean Bruce probably isn't Batman, Damian isn't Robin, and so on.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': The first episode of the show ends with Stan retreating into a secret passage behind the Mystery Shack's vending machine. At the end of the first season, we learn that it leads to a secret laboratory with an enormous device of unknown function. It is then revealed that Stan has Journal #1, before remarking that due to the events of the episode, he now has access to all three (having lifted Journal #2 from Gideon and borrowed #3 from Dipper). With a cryptic "After all these years...finally, I have them all," Stan uses a secret code spread throughout all three books to activate the device, ending the season and cementing that not only is Stan fully aware of the town's strangeness, but that he's working on a project that's directly connected with the elusive Author.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Just full of all kinds of magical creatures of all styles shapes and sizes. Most of them talk, cast spells, and have civilizations.
* The season one finale of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': That room behind the vending machine is finally shown, and it shows some sort of secret laboratory with an enormous device of unknown function. Then Stan takes Journal #1 out of a desk - ''he's'' had it since the show began. ''Then'' it's shown he not only borrowed Journal #3 from Dipper, but managed to lift Journal #2 from Gideon. ''Then'' he declares, "After all these years...finally, I have them all." Stan knows a ''lot'' more about the town than he's let on.
