Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A character is brought back to normal after some sort of transformation, but still retains some characteristics of their transformed version. Often used as an ending, and usually everything is back to normal by the next episode.
* '''Straight''': For most of an episode of "Alice and Bob: The Series", Alice turns into a monster. By the end of the episode, Bob turns her back - and as the episode ends, Alice reveals she still has the tail of her monster form.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob turns Alice back to her regular self... or so he claims. Alice still looks exactly like her monster self, and [[EsotericHappyEnding this is treated as perfectly normal]].
* '''Downplayed''': Alice still retains a few mild powers associated with her monster form.
* '''Justified''': Turning into a monster radically altered Alice's DNA, and Bob doesn't have the technology to fix that kind of thing.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': Alice reveals that the monster tail was actually fake.
* '''Double Subverted''': But she does still have monster teeth.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Alice is turned completely back to normal.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': "HereWeGoAgain!"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': Alice actually retains some aspects of her monster form, and is able to willingly shapeshift into it whenever she needs to, whether it's completely [[PartialShapeshifting or just parts of it]].
* '''Defied''': Bob realizes the substance he used to turn Alice back didn't completely work, so he redoes it.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
