*** The scene between Daniel Jackson and the enemy human form replicator is Samantha Carter's image, taking place entirely within his head, has Daniel take his Badass too new levels.
--->'''[=RepliCarter=]:''' You should never have told me.\\
'''Daniel:''' Too late, *beat* for you that is. (Replicarter goes to both attack Daniel and leave the mind palace they are in, but he stops her by grabbing hold of her arm and keeping it in place.)\\
'''Daniel:''' Trying to leave, sorry, a little more time in Danny's world.\\
'''[=RepliCarter=]:''' My Brethen will not stop. You cannot stop them.\\
'''Daniel:''' Not Yet. But I'm learning. [[Spoiler: He then goes on to stop all the replicators in place as he threatened to do.]]

* It's probably easier to name the characters in ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' who don't undergo this trope than the ones that run headlong into it.

* ''Series/MakoMermaidsAnH2OAdventure'': In the first season, Sirena was the meek and naïve member of the mermaid trio, and spent the plots of various episodes getting jerked into whatever scheme Lyla or Nixie would come up with. In the second season, she's the mermaid with the most experience on land (besides [[TheMentor Rita]]), has a more assertive personality without losing her sweetness, and gets Ondina and Mimmi following her lead after the two of them realize she's not to be messed with anymore. It takes losing a MagicDuel to her for Ondina to start listening, which is a fight season one Sirena wouldn't have been able to win.

*** Now in general, by the end of Season 6, the Starks' HundredPerCentAdorationRating finally pays off. They manage to gather many new allies, most notably Brienne of Tarth, Davos Seaworth, Littlefinger (for now), and the wildlings, while still having the support of their vassals. With their support, [[BrotherSisterTeam Sansa and Jon]] manage to defeat the Boltons for good and retake Winterfell, reclaiming the North and becoming one of the most united and powerful factions of the setting just behind Daenerys Targaryen's army.

* ''Series/ClassOf07'': Sandy, it turns out, survived being shoved out to sea on a raft by Saskia, turning into a hard-edged woman who's good with a knife, returning for revenge against both her, Zoe and [[RevengeByProxy the rest. Prior to this she was a girly, fashion-conscious, slightly ditzy woman.]]

** Chuck. The second season finale. "Guys, I know kung-fu," indeed. He takes additional levels throughout the series. After losing The Intersect he begins studying the spy craft on his own and claims to be gaining competency. This comes to a head in "Chuck Vs. The Santa Suit" where Chuck tricks Shaw into uninstalling his own Intersect, and then Chuck beats Shaw in a fair fight. Keep in mind that Shaw was still a fully trained, lethal CIA killer '''before''' The Intersect, and Chuck still beat that. Level up!

** Martha Kent took a few levels, starting out as a farmer's wife, then getting appointed the U.S. Senate after [[spoiler: her newly-elected husband died]]. '''Then''' she created a SecretIdentity, beating Washington's best at their own game as the "Red Queen".

** In the finale of the first season, as a consequence of her symbiotic contact with the mycelium, Raelle, in addition to obtaining the ability to be able to resurrect herself every time she dies, obtains a significant increase in her magic that gives her a series of unique abilities (such as example create a considerable explosion capable of transforming any enemy into a whole with the fungal properties of the mycelium itself). Furthermore, she and Izadora discover that this symbiosis has significantly increased her ability to vocalize since the mycelium is none other than that remains of the magical essence of all witches when they die since the time of Salem and consequently Raelle herself has been chosen as the spokesperson for their collective power. Scylla is not wrong in considering her as one of the most powerful witches around.

** A more minor recurring character is Susan Grady, NCIS's polygraph technician, who is a nervous, easily intimidated individual and outright says that her people-reading skills are extremely lacking without her machines to help her. Then she reappears in Season 11, and she has transformed into far more confident investigator, successfully interrogating a misogynistic hitman pretty much solo and leaving Tony and [=McGee=] somewhat intimidated by her.

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'' : Chandler is referenced as being mediocre in bed a couple times over the course of the early seasons, until the famous scene where Monica gives him a diagram-based crash-course in pleasuring the female body. His girlfriend literally runs across the hall to hug and emphatically thank Monica following their next lovemaking session. Ends up being a good call on Monica's part, as when her and Chandler later enter a relationship, she repeatedly describes him as the best sex she's ever had.
