* '''Straight''': Jack, [[BettyAndVeronica Jill and June]] are in a LoveTriangle, June at first seems to be good friends with Jack and Jill and both Jill and June seem to have equal chances with Jack. However all of a sudden, in a fit of rage, June attacks Jill, losing everyone's sympathy. Jack marries Jill soon afterwards.

However all of a sudden, in a fit of rage, June attacks Jill, losing everyone's sympathy. Jack marries Jill soon afterwards.



* '''Deconstructed''': June isn't blind; she can clearly see that despite claiming to have forgotten all about her, Jack is still pining over Jill. What's more, he refuses to admit it when she points it out. While Jack's friends [[LampshadeHanging talk]] [[YokoOhNo about her]] being a ClingyJealousGirl, the audience can see her side; Jack's obviously trying to have his cake and eat it too. When her frustration causes her to do something crazy, Jack uses this an an excuse to dump her and go to Jill (assuming she wants him back after he rejected her), telling everyone the horror stories about his PsychoExGirlfriend.
* '''Reconstructed''': June [[RoundedCharacter has believable reasons]] for acting the way she does, but she still comes across as oversensitive, jealous and self-centred, and not really caring so much about Jack as she does about her own image. Jack and Jill are undeniably the OTP.



* '''Defied''': June is extra nice to new hubby Jack; "I worked so hard to win him over, I wouldn't want to drive him away while he's still got feelings for Jill."
* '''Discussed''': "Watch out Jack, now you put a ring on her finger you're going to see what she's ''really'' like."

'''Basic Trope''': A character whom was previously depicted as a good person suddenly [[TookALevelInJerkass starts to become abusive]] just so their lover can be with another character.
* '''Straight''': Jack, Jill and June are in a LoveTriangle, June at first seems to be good friends with Jack and Jill and both Jill and June seem to have equal chances with Jack. However all of a sudden in a fit of rage June attacks Jill and then Jack and Jill (and everyone else) are disgusted with June and Jack soon gets married with Jill soon afterwords.
* '''Exaggerated''': Jill and June seem like the best of friends but then June snaps out of jealousy and almost killed Jill in which June gets arrested for it.
* '''Justified''': June was a BitchInSheepsClothing in which while she acts like a pleasant person in public for most of the story later on we see her true colors when we see how much she hates Jill.
* '''Inverted''': June pulls off some rather vile actions to Jack and/or Jill but the plot downplays/ignores the immorality of her actions. So basically we are suppose to see this as a good thing which will most likely have viewers see June as some type of KarmaHoudini
* '''Subverted''': June has a KickTheDog scene with Jack and/or Jill but she quickly sees the errors of her ways and is forgiven for her actions
** June accuses Jack for cheating on her with Jill but it turns out to be a misunderstanding and after June apologizes for jumping to conclusions she is forgiven.
* '''Double Subverted''': June is apologetic about her actions but the damage was done and [[HeelFaceDoorSlam nobody is willing to forgive her]].
* '''Parodied''': The scene is a parody of DieForOurShip fics that Jill's FanDumb love to write.
** Or Jack tries to potentially avert this by going with a Threesome (now whether if that actually works or not is a different story).
* '''Deconstructed''': Jack and June were dating for a long time but he is also secretly dating Jill as well. When June finds out about this she is furious with Jack and leaves him but the plot tries to depict Jack's romance with Jill as sympathetic and on how June was wrong to be against their relationship.

** June snaps at Jack -because- Jack has been too friendly with Jill lately.
* '''Reconstructed''': While June does attack Jill, June's friends and family took turns in [[WhatTheHellHero verbally chewing her out]] for how wrong her actions are. June feels a HeelRealization and tries to become TheAtoner and to restore her friendship with Jack and Jill and try to make sure that their relationship goes well. Despite what June might feel about Jack she decides that [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy it would be for the best]] to let him go and feels that Jill is the better match for him.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Jack, Jill and June have been in several stories, sometimes Jack becomes an example, sometimes June becomes an example and sometimes Jill becomes an example so basically their relationships are a severe case of DependingOnTheWriter
