Basic Trope: An episode is split into multiple parts so each part is a more reasonable length.
- Straight: One episode of Alice and Bob is split into 2 parts.
- Exaggerated: The episode has 10 parts.
- Downplayed: The episode takes up an entire time slot that would otherwise contain 2 episodes.
- Justified: ???
- Inverted: One timeslot of normal length has 2 back-to-back episodes.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: All of the episodes only have one part.
- Enforced: The creators wanted to make a plot line too long to fit in one normal-length episode that has more continuity than the rest of the series, so they split it into multiple parts.
- Lampshaded: "Why does this have to be the end of the episode? Our problems are not solved yet"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "Why do shows have to split longer episodes into multiple parts? I get quite impatient waiting for the next part to solve the cliffhanger at the end of the first part."
