00:00Who do you know? Who's okay with using children? Jesse, who do you know?
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best unexpected plot developments in TV stories in the 21st century to date.
00:14Naturally, spoilers ahead.
00:16Um, oh, sorry. I thought we reserved the conference room.
00:20No, Todd, we haven't until three.
00:22Sorry, sorry, everyone.
00:24Number 30, Wanda All Along, WandaVision.
00:27You're supposed to be a myth, a being capable of spontaneous creation.
00:33Here you are, using it to make breakfast for dinner.
00:39Let go of my children.
00:41When Wanda Maximoff is captured by Agatha Harkness, we're certain that the latter has been manipulating the Scarlet Witch through the TV-inspired scenarios depicted in the show, too.
00:50However, as Agatha takes Wanda down memory lane through a series of flashbacks, we learn the truth.
00:55Wanda trapped a whole town in her fantasy.
00:57Her grief over losing vision leads her to create the elaborate TV illusion, imprisoning the town's residents and essentially being revealed as a tragic villain protagonist.
01:16And sure, she doesn't get a catchy song to go along with this revelation, unlike Agatha, but we'd argue it's a better twist.
01:21Who's been the lesson of everything?
01:25It's been Agatha all along.
01:30Number 29, Who is Lady Whistledown, Bridgerton?
01:34Give my regards to Madame Delacroix.
01:36Your regards? We'll have to wait now.
01:38It seems she's making a short trip back to France.
01:40I'm going to say goodbye to her.
01:42Throughout much of this Regency period drama, High Society remains fascinated by the writing of the mysterious Lady Whistledown.
01:49Her gossip papers expose embarrassing secrets for many, including the eponymous Bridgertons and their neighbors, the Featheringtons.
01:55Of all that I have imparted to you, dear reader, there is but one bit of wisdom you must heed most.
02:03One can never know the truth of a marriage hiding behind closed doors.
02:07Eloise Bridgerton is especially interested, playing detective in search of Whistledown's identity.
02:13She believes she has discovered the right answer, Genevieve Delacroix, a modiste to high society ladies.
02:19However, in the finale, Eloise learns that Madame Delacroix was absent from a crucial party and with her brother Benedict at the time, discounting her as a suspect.
02:27Instead, the audience learns that Lady Whistledown's true identity is in fact Eloise's best friend and noted wallflower Penelope Featherington.
02:35Perhaps I will come forward one day, though you must know, dear reader, that decision shall be left entirely up to me, yours truly.
02:49Eloise just couldn't see someone so close to her.
02:52Number 28, The Truth About Lorca, Star Trek Discovery.
02:55Game-changing twists aren't usually in Star Trek's wheelhouse, but the first season of the show has a doozy.
03:15While in the Mirror Universe, Michael Burnham tries to convince her counterpart's adoptive mother, the Emperor Philippa Georgiou, to release her captain, Gabriel Lorca.
03:23You have no reason to hold my captain any longer.
03:27He shouldn't have to suffer for your Lorca's crimes.
03:29The captain may not be comfortable where he is, but I...
03:32Georgiou expresses reluctance, citing her universe's Lorca as being duplicitous and conniving.
03:38As she discusses her Lorca, Burnham recalls some odd coincidences.
03:42And at first, you're thinking, huh, I guess the two Lorcas are similar.
03:45But then, Georgiou reveals that she and other humans from the Mirror Universe are all photosensitive, just like the Lorca Burnham has been following.
03:53Sensitive to light.
03:55Only compared to a human from your universe is the singular biological difference between our two races.
04:02The whole season, Lorca's actions have been a long con for him to return to overthrow Georgiou.
04:08The old captain's not from my universe.
04:11He's from yours.
04:13Number 27, Peter's Not From Here.
04:15Fringe.
04:16Stepping out for a bit.
04:17Don't worry about me, son.
04:19I know where I'm going.
04:22You want me to call the police?
04:27No.
04:28The first season finale of this often overlooked sci-fi series sees the Fringe team pursuing David Robert Jones.
04:34A man whose goal seems to be crossing between universes.
04:37Dr. Walter Bishop goes to an old beach house with his son Peter to retrieve a device.
04:41While there, Walter explains that he too once crossed between worlds, hoping to retrieve something he once lost.
04:48We believed that we were catching glimpses of another reality, another world just like ours, slightly different, populated by slightly different versions of ourselves.
05:02The team stops Jones, hooray, and everything starts to wrap up.
05:06And then, we see Walter visiting a grave.
05:09The name on the grave?
05:10Peter Bishop.
05:11The implication is that Walter's original son died, and he abducted another version of Peter.
05:17Our Peter from the other universe.
05:18There's more than one of everything, indeed.
05:21Okay, just so I'm clear.
05:23Somewhere out there, there is a hole to another reality, and you need to plug it.
05:28Yes, I'm afraid so.
05:29Well, do you know where it is?
05:31Yes.
05:32Yes, I do, Peter.
05:34Number 26.
05:35Family phone call.
05:36The boys.
05:37Sir, I apologize for disturbing you.
05:39You have a call.
05:42He says he's...
05:43Well, he's claiming to be Soldier Boy.
05:45Outrageous twists are kind of the order of the day in this dark superhero series.
05:49Although Butcher's wife still being alive did leave us, and Butcher shook, there's an even more shocking development in the boys.
05:55Throughout season three, it gradually becomes apparent that all-American hero Soldier Boy isn't all he's cracked up to be, much like his successor Homelander.
06:03However, after interrogating Mindstorm, Soldier Boy departs and makes a call to Homelander himself.
06:08I thought we should have a conversation.
06:10I don't know who the f*** you think you are, but you got lucky once.
06:13G.I. Jackass reveals to Homelander that he provided Vought scientists with his, uh, genetic material.
06:20He is Homelander's father.
06:22The monster desperate for family had one after all.
06:25Turns out, Vogelbaum made a kid.
06:29Born spring, 1981.
06:34A boy.
06:35Number 25.
06:36Who's infected?
06:37The Walking Dead.
06:38I thought we worked this all out.
06:40Try to kill each other, man.
06:42What'd you think?
06:43We just gonna forget about it all?
06:44We're gonna ride off into the sunset together?
06:46You gonna kill me in cold blood?
06:48Season two of this long-running zombie apocalypse show gets a bad rap, but it ends with quite a game changer.
06:54Shane's long-simmering jealousy and resentment of Rick leads him to try and kill his former friend.
06:58Rick kills him instead.
07:00However, despite not being bitten by a walker, Shane still turns into one after death, forcing Rick's son Carl to kill the undead Shane.
07:07It's not what it seems.
07:09Please.
07:13The next episode, when the group wonders how this is possible, Rick reveals what Jenner at the CDC told him.
07:19They're all infected.
07:20Whatever disease causes zombification after death, getting bitten only hastens it.
07:25It's not the cause.
07:26This revelation changes everything, because it means even a safe place won't be safe if someone dies there.
07:32But the CDC, Jenner, told me, whatever it is, we all carry it.
07:41Number 24.
07:42Howard Confronts Kim and Jimmy.
07:44Better Call Saul.
07:45Sorry to interrupt this, but I brought you a gift.
07:50A gift?
07:51What's the occasion?
07:52Howard Hamlin is a bit of a stick in the mud, but not a fundamentally bad guy.
07:56So, after Jimmy McGill slash Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler use elaborate means to ruin Howard's reputation, we feel bad for him, even if he is a lawyer.
08:05Howard angrily confronts the duo at their apartment, delivering a speech lambasting them for setting him up.
08:10Jimmy, you can't help yourself.
08:12Chuck knew it.
08:14You were born that way.
08:15But you, one of the smartest and most promising human beings I've ever known, and this is the life you choose.
08:22However, while Howard has seen through his old colleague's cruel prank, he doesn't see Lalo Salamanca, Jimmy's cartel client, sneak into the room.
08:30Jimmy and Kim try to get him to leave, but Howard is concerned for them, right up until Lalo puts a bullet in his head.
08:36This shocking death sees Jimmy's criminal and professional lives collide in an astonishingly violent way.
08:42Oh my god!
08:43No!
08:44Oh my god!
08:45No!
08:46No!
08:47Shh!
08:48Shh!
08:48Shh!
08:49Shh!
08:49Shh!
08:49Shh!
08:50Shh!
08:50Shh!
08:50Shh!
08:50Shh!
08:52Okay.
08:55Let's talk.
08:56Number 23.
08:57Who's the snitch?
08:59Succession.
08:59End the holding company move.
09:02If we do that, that's real.
09:04He can't sanction a deal without us.
09:05That's legal fact.
09:07Block him and he's f***ed.
09:09Okay, so...
09:11Time to rip off the band-aid.
09:13The three Roy siblings are forever at odds with their domineering father, Logan.
09:17In the season three finale, they learn of a clause in their mother's divorce agreement
09:21that allows them voting rights in the company, finally giving them one up on Logan.
09:25You can handle this?
09:27Been basically planning it since we were four.
09:30What if dad flurrs his eyelids at you, Ron?
09:33You gonna melt?
09:34Me?
09:35No.
09:35However, the conclusion reveals that Logan has renegotiated the divorce agreement,
09:40effectively shutting them out and retaining his power.
09:43In the final moments, Shiv realizes that her often downtrodden husband Tom is the one
09:48who revealed their plans, selling them out to Logan to secure his own rise.
09:52There are betrayals aplenty in succession, yet this is by far the most unexpected.
09:57Hey, Shiv.
09:59You okay?
10:01Hey.
10:01Hey.
10:06Yeah, uh...
10:08You okay?
10:10Number 22.
10:11Angela Picks Cal's Brain.
10:13Watchmen.
10:13We always knew that this day would come.
10:16What day, Angela?
10:17I don't know what you're talking about.
10:18You do know.
10:20You just don't remember.
10:21The wildest twist in this dark superhero miniseries concerns Dr. Manhattan,
10:26the MIA nuclear superman the people of this alternate world treat like a god.
10:30Lady True reveals to Angela Abar that Manhattan isn't on Mars, as most of the world believes,
10:35but in Tulsa, living as a normal human, and in danger from a white supremacist group.
10:40Because Dr. Manhattan isn't listening.
10:44He's not even on Mars.
10:46Where is he?
10:49Right here in Tulsa.
10:51Pretending to be human.
10:53Although Angela is incredulous,
10:55Lady True points out that Angela doesn't ask who Dr. Manhattan is,
10:59the implication being that she already knows.
11:01While that gets our minds turning,
11:03they just about explode when Angela returns home and pries open her husband Cal's head with a hammer.
11:08Cal has been Dr. Manhattan, unknown to both us and him.
11:13Hey, baby.
11:17We're in the f***ing trouble.
11:18Number 21.
11:19Mikael's Fate.
11:20Dark.
11:21As perhaps the most complex time travel show ever,
11:32Dark has an enormous number of twists.
11:35However, one of its first is arguably its biggest.
11:38Jonas Kahnwald is dealing with a lot in season one.
11:41The death of his father Michael,
11:43his feelings for Marta Nielsen,
11:44and the disappearance of Mikael, her younger brother,
11:46who has been sent to the past.
11:48Things start to make his and our head spin when Jonas finally gets the note his father left behind.
11:53In it, Mikael explains that as a boy, he was sent to the past.
11:57He was Mikael.
11:58This twist opens the whole show up to dozens of crazy developments,
12:08not the least of which is that Jonas has been crushing on his aunt.
12:17Number 20.
12:18George O'Malley is the John Doe.
12:20Grey's Anatomy.
12:21I joined the army to be a trauma surgeon.
12:24I report for duty tomorrow.
12:29You did what?
12:31Shortly after George announced he'd be leaving the Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital to become a trauma surgeon,
12:36a heavily injured John Doe came in.
12:38His face was unrecognizable because he'd been hit by a bus while saving an innocent bystander.
12:44They spend the episode struggling to save the mystery man without realizing his true identity.
12:48When the man is able to communicate, he draws out a 007 with his finger.
12:54Since George was previously given this Bond-themed nickname,
12:57fans instantly knew that he was the injured John Doe.
13:00It's George!
13:01It's George!
13:04It's George!
13:05John Doe is George!
13:07This tremendous twist shook viewers more when he started to slip away from the mortal coil.
13:13It's safe to say that no one was expecting George's journey to wrap up like this.
13:18Number 19.
13:24Peggy is Pregnant.
13:26Mad Men.
13:26I don't feel so swell.
13:29I think I should go home.
13:30I have to stop eating off the cart.
13:32Over the course of season one,
13:34Peggy had to endure negative comments and issues with her clothes due to her sudden weight gain.
13:38She was able to push past these problems and pursue her goals until the season finale.
13:43When Peggy starts to feel particularly awful, she sees a doctor and learns that she's pregnant.
13:49Honey, you didn't mention that you were expecting.
13:53What?
13:55You're going to be a mother.
13:56Before she can grapple with this unexpected news, she goes into labor.
14:01Peggy's delivery is quickly followed by an impactful scene where she decides to give up her child.
14:06The choice to end Peggy's season one arc with this emotional story beat made an already iconic Mad Men character stand out more among the ensemble.
14:14Don't you want to hold him, sweetheart?
14:21Number 18.
14:22The Bent Neck Lady's Identity.
14:24The Haunting of Hill House.
14:26Although learning that Nell was a ghost at the end of the first episode was surprising,
14:36there was another twist left in store about her life for viewers.
14:40Before her passing, she had gotten terrifying visits from a specter known as the Bent Neck Lady.
14:45I'd rather sleep here in case she comes back.
14:50Nell eventually tries to get to the bottom of where the spirit came from by going back to the creepy hill house.
14:55She proceeds to have a few ghostly encounters that unfortunately lead to her getting a broken neck.
15:00As Nell dies, she travels backwards through time and becomes the Bent Neck Lady at various points in her life.
15:07This devastating and absolutely heartbreaking twist still haunts us today.
15:12I'm frozen.
15:13I can't talk.
15:16Or move my arms or legs.
15:18Number 17.
15:19Frank Ends Zoe's Career.
15:21House of Cards.
15:22What's your next move?
15:23I'm trying to figure out how to respond to this.
15:28I got it a couple hours ago.
15:30Reporter Zoe Barnes seemed like an integral part of House of Cards.
15:34Her close relationship with Frank and complex storyline seemed to guarantee her safety.
15:39So we didn't see anything wrong with her meeting up with Frank in a train station during the first episode of Season 2.
15:44However, we found ourselves gasping when he suddenly pushed Zoe towards the train tracks.
15:49Jesus.
15:52I want to believe you, Frances.
15:54I know you're perfect.
15:56Oh!
15:57Hurry!
15:58Her sudden end made us realize that anything could happen on House of Cards.
16:03Unfortunately, Zoe wasn't the last person who would fall victim to one of Frank's shocking betrayals.
16:08You were the one who told Zoe to pursue this.
16:12She told me what you said.
16:13The only stories that mattered were the ones that scared you to death.
16:16Okay, this isn't just death threats.
16:18Number 16.
16:19Violet is a Ghost.
16:21American Horror Story.
16:22They planned some brutal family dinner for tonight.
16:25Like, it's gonna make me feel better.
16:28Do you believe in ghosts?
16:29Why are you asking me?
16:32When Violet took a large amount of sleeping pills after seeing haunting visions, a ghost named Tate appeared to save her.
16:39Over the next few episodes, she avoids going to school and blowflies start appearing in the house.
16:45It's only when Violet tries to leave the house that she has to come face to face with the truth.
16:51Sadly, Tate wasn't able to stop her from passing away and becoming a ghost.
16:55I held you.
16:57You were safe.
17:00You died.
17:03Love.
17:04He hid this fact from her so that she would be spared the tremendous shock that we all felt watching this episode.
17:11The combination of the subtle story hints that led up to this moment and its ramifications on Violet's story made it a horrifyingly effective reveal.
17:19What happens now?
17:20You draw a card and then discard.
17:23No, I mean, like, how's it gonna be?
17:28Number 15.
17:29All the characters are connected.
17:31This is Us.
17:32Explaining to him how you took the sourest lemon that life has to offer and turned it into something resembling lemonade.
17:42In the This Is Us pilot, we see how excited Jack and Rebecca Pearson are to welcome their triplets into the world.
17:49We're also introduced to two siblings who share the same birthday with a businessman who just found his biological father.
17:5536 years ago, you left me at the front door of a fire station.
17:59Don't worry, I'm not here because I don't want anything from you.
18:01I was raised by two incredible parents.
18:03Since each character had distinct plot lines, we didn't expect their stories to be woven together.
18:09But after a tragic scene where the couple loses one of their triplets, they adopt a baby who is left behind at a fire station.
18:16It's only then we realize that Jack and Rebecca are the parents of the other three characters we've been following.
18:22As soon as This Is Us pulled off this ridiculously clever time jump, we knew we had to watch every episode.
18:29What did he say about the lemons?
18:32Hmm?
18:33There's no lemon.
18:35So sour.
18:37But you can't make something resembling lemonade.
18:40Number 14.
18:41Arthur's final victim.
18:43Dexter.
18:43He knows my name, occupation.
18:46He can find out about my family.
18:48My family.
18:49What the hell have I done?
18:52Before his final confrontation with Arthur, a.k.a. the Trinity Killer, Dexter Morgan tried to get his wife Rita to get to safety.
19:00The two men then struggle to stay ahead of the other.
19:03But their game of cat and mouse finally ended when Morgan captured and slayed the villain.
19:08Upon arriving at a dark home, Dexter listens to a voicemail that reveals that Rita returned to their house earlier.
19:15When he calls her phone, it rings in the next room.
19:18I love you. Bye.
19:22Dexter soon finds that his wife has been slain and that his child has been left at the crime scene.
19:33This shocking sight still stands as one of the show's most striking and sobering images.
19:38You sure you don't want to tell him about Rita?
19:42I just want him to have one more good day.
19:44Number 13.
19:45Arriving on Earth.
19:47Battlestar Galactica.
19:48All right.
19:51I'll release your crew.
19:55We go to Earth together.
19:56The spacefaring humans on Battlestar Galactica endured a devastating surprise attack, survived a conflict with Cylons, and had to overcome internal struggles in an attempt to reach Earth.
20:08They finally got a chance to achieve their goal in Season 4.
20:11Upon finally finding the planet, they have a big and justifiable celebration.
20:16But today, our journey is at an end.
20:20We have arrived at Earth.
20:24But they should have taken a closer look at Earth before they started to cheer.
20:28If they had, the Battlestar Galactica crew would have known that the planet was now uninhabitable due to a past nuclear conflict.
20:36The pain of this harsh truth can be seen on everyone's faces as they stumble around the surface.
20:41It was clear that the crew would never be the same after losing their hope for Earth.
20:46So the question is, where do we go from here?
20:51Number 12.
20:52Sydney's Time Skip.
20:53Alias.
20:54I just remembered.
20:57Francie doesn't like coffee ice cream.
21:00No, she doesn't.
21:02After discovering that her best friend was replaced by an assassin, Sydney is forced to fight her in an intense battle.
21:08Although the heroine prevails, she ends up passing out at the end of the fight.
21:12Sydney and the audience were stunned when they saw her wake up in Hong Kong a short time later.
21:18However, the rug was pulled out from under us again when we learned that there had been a major time skip while she thought she was unconscious.
21:30You've been missing for almost two years.
21:32The mystery of how two years could have gone by without her knowing immediately left us hungry for more.
21:38This alias twist was a great way to keep us guessing about what would happen next in Sydney's story.
21:43They asked me to come back to him.
21:47To explain.
21:48Come back from what?
21:52What are you talking about?
21:53Number 11.
21:54Dr. Cox Loses a Friend.
21:56Scrubs.
21:57So you still doing the whole kooky guy who brings his camera everywhere thing?
22:01Till the day I die.
22:03During the My Screw Up episode, Dr. Cox is visited by his friend Ben.
22:08The camera-toting guest mentions that he hasn't seen a doctor since his cancer went into remission.
22:13Meanwhile, JD loses a patient who had an irregular heartbeat.
22:16These two plot lines crash together in a jaw-dropping reveal.
22:20After Dr. Cox overworks himself while tending to patients to make up for the one that was lost,
22:25he heads out of the hospital with Ben.
22:27When the doctor arrives at a grassy location, he realizes he's at his friend's funeral.
22:34Where do you think we are?
22:40This devastating turn was cleverly foreshadowed by details like Ben's lack of camera late in the episode.
22:47Whether you caught on early or not, this was one of the show's most heart-wrenching plots.
22:51No matter how alone you feel, how painful it may be.
22:59With the help of those around you, you'll get through this too.
23:05Number 10.
23:06All the main characters are in the bad place.
23:10The good place.
23:10We're the ones who misled everybody and dragged you all into this mess, so we should go to the bad place.
23:16Agreed.
23:18Okay, I thought you were gonna at least pretend to fight me on that, but whatever.
23:21This fantastical sitcom centered around four flawed humans who tried their best to fit into a heavenly paradise called the good place.
23:29However, they constantly ran into problems with their sanctuary and each other.
23:33Eventually, the group is forced to send two of their members to the ominous bad place.
23:38But it's then that Eleanor realizes they've been in the dark realm the entire time.
23:42They're never gonna call a train to take us to the bad place.
23:47They can't.
23:48Because we're already here.
23:52This is the bad place.
23:54This genius reveal reframed the actions of all the good place employees, made us do a double take, and shook up the show's entire premise.
24:04The comedy would go on to shake the show's formula up with wilder twists as it continued.
24:08But the bad place reveal stands as the show's most defining turn.
24:12Next time, I'll spread you out so it's more of a slow burn.
24:16Uh, next time?
24:17Yeah, yeah.
24:18I'm gonna erase your memories, you know, make a few changes and start over again.
24:22Number 9.
24:23Fitz betrays the team.
24:25Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
24:26You can't be here.
24:27There's work that needs to be finished.
24:30What?
24:31What work?
24:31It was devastating and shocking to learn that the loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Ward was actually a HYDRA infiltrator.
24:38But the show had a bigger betrayal in store.
24:41In season 4, the kind Agent Fitz became a sinister villain when he was inside a virtual simulation.
24:48His evil self later returned as a separate entity and committed horrible misdeeds.
24:53When the good Fitz tried to stop his sinister counterpart, he learned it was impossible because there was no evil entity.
25:00It wasn't an anomaly.
25:05It was you.
25:08Programming the robots.
25:10Keeping everyone else occupied.
25:11It turns out that Fitz had a dissociative episode and committed all those twisted deeds.
25:16While the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had one of their own turn on them before.
25:20This Fitz twist was the biggest gut punch.
25:23You had a psychic split.
25:24But that dark persona, that's not you.
25:26It is me.
25:27Number 8.
25:28O.I.L.Nam created the S.H.I.D. Games.
25:30S.H.I.D. Game.
25:41The cutthroat nature of these brutal life or death games forces some shocking events.
25:46However, few are as emotionally devastating as a game of marbles.
25:50Which sees protagonist Sung Gi-hyun forced to let his elderly friend O.I.L.Nam die to save himself.
25:55However, the sting of loss turns to the sting of betrayal as Gi-hyun learns that Il-nam is not only still alive, but also the creator of the Squid Games.
26:11Their chat on Il-nam's deathbed reveals that he developed the games to help himself and other wealthy people stave off boredom.
26:17Far from being a sweet old man, Il-nam is arguably the biggest monster of them all.
26:22Number 7.
26:38River Song's identity.
26:40Doctor Who.
26:40River Song was initially introduced as an extremely cool professor that had a mysterious history with the Doctor that spanned across time.
26:58After making a few notable appearances, audiences finally got to see the surprising origins of this character.
27:05In the A Good Man Goes to War episode, the Doctor's companion Amy Pond has a child named Melody.
27:11Since this infant was born with alien Time Lord DNA, she had the ability to regenerate into different forms.
27:17The Doctor and his friends soon realize that Melody will eventually become the time-traveling River Song.
27:23Hello, Rory.
27:27What's wrong?
27:31It's my birthday.
27:33As the series continued, this complex twist was further fleshed out and revisited.
27:38While it might take you a while to put River's time-bending story together, it's definitely worth the effort.
27:43It's me.
27:46I'm Melody.
27:50I'm your daughter.
27:51Number 6.
27:52Bernard Isn't Human.
27:54Westworld.
27:55After countless cycles of repetition, these hosts, they were varying.
28:00They were on the verge of some kind of change.
28:03On Westworld, synthetic beings known as hosts that look like real humans and animals are programmed to behave in certain ways.
28:11Throughout most of the first season, we thought Bernard was just there to help keep these artificial beings running.
28:17But the truth was much more shocking.
28:19It turned out that Bernard was a host the entire time and wasn't consciously aware of it.
28:25In a way, their existence is purer than ours, freed of the burden of self-doubt.
28:33While we were still reeling from this bombshell, his boss forces him to eliminate his love interest, Teresa.
28:43Although some fans suspected Bernard was a host, none of them could have anticipated this one-two punch.
28:49It was a story development that made us question the nature of our reality.
28:53You should be getting back, Bernard.
28:56We have a great deal of work to do.
28:59On the new storylines.
29:01Number 5.
29:02Elliot's been imprisoned for multiple episodes.
29:05Mr. Robot.
29:05What was that?
29:06I've never seen that before.
29:09That's what you needed.
29:11If we looked up the phrase unreliable narrator in the dictionary, we'd find Elliot's face staring back up at us.
29:18Although we knew that his version of events could always be questionable, we still weren't anticipating a huge season two twist.
29:24Elliot led us to believe that he spent six episodes of the second season staying with his mom and away from the typical cast.
29:31However, it's eventually revealed that he was in prison for a big portion of the season.
29:35You know, you haven't been staying with your mother, right?
29:41I know.
29:46This unbelievable twist turned a huge chunk of his storyline upside down.
29:51Although Elliot apologized to us for the deception, we weren't sure we could trust his perspective again after this.
29:57I'm sorry for not telling you everything.
30:01But I needed this in order to get better.
30:05Please don't be mad too, Lone.
30:11Number four.
30:12Walt poisoned Brock.
30:13Breaking Bad.
30:15When Jesse believes that the son of his love interest has been poisoned with ricin, he immediately accuses his cooking partner Walt of the crime.
30:22Tell me.
30:23Tell me what it is you think I did.
30:25Brock.
30:26Why did you poison him?
30:27Who's Brock?
30:29You saw him in my living room just last night.
30:30But after a tense scene, the two agree that crime lord Gus was the one responsible for this heinous action.
30:37Jesse and Walt then work together to bring the kingpin down permanently.
30:41After Gus has been dealt with, it's revealed that Andrea's son had consumed a plant known as Lily of the Valley.
30:46It was most likely a flower called Lily of the Valley.
30:51The camera then reveals that that is exactly what Walt has in his own backyard.
30:57Knowing that he was capable of poisoning an innocent person just to manipulate Jesse marked a shocking new low for the show's protagonist.
31:05Was this you?
31:09What happened?
31:10Number 3.
31:15The Red Wedding.
31:16Game of Thrones.
31:17Well, let's get ready.
31:19The wine will flow red.
31:21And the music will play loud.
31:24And we'll put this mess behind us.
31:27We were heartbroken and stunned when we discovered why Hodor could only say his own name.
31:33But the show's most noteworthy twist took place at a wedding.
31:36After watching the heroic Robb Stark achieve great victories, he and his mother Catelyn attended a marriage celebration.
31:42But the festivities abruptly end once we see one of the ceremony's guests is wearing chainmail.
31:48And I owe my new queen a wedding gift.
31:56Over the next few minutes, we see Robb, his wife Talisa, Catelyn, and his direwolf all meet gruesome ends.
32:05The horrifying events of this night upset the balance of power in the world.
32:09While axing off a bunch of main characters at once.
32:12To this day, mentioning the Red Wedding to a fan is still bound to bring a tear to their eye.
32:18Mother.
32:21The Lannisters send their regards.
32:26Number 2.
32:27Nina Can't Be Trusted.
32:2824.
32:29George?
32:30George?
32:30George is the mole?
32:36At the start of 24, Nina was presented as a high-ranking agent who had some romantic tension with Jack Bauer.
32:42Neither he nor the audience was expecting the moment that she revealed she was working for their enemies in the 23rd episode of the series.
32:50It was the end to believe.
32:52It was the end to believe that we would have been able to live for the rest.
32:57It was the end to believe that we would have been able to live for the rest.
32:58It was the end to believe that we would have been able to live for the rest.
32:58Nina quickly demonstrated her true, twisted nature after she was exposed as a traitor by fatally shooting Terry Bauer.
33:10Having one of the show's most prominent heroes become a despicable antagonist was a brilliant stroke of genius.
33:16Nina's evil turn made fans want to go back and look for signs they missed.
33:21While we hate what she did to the Bauer family, we loved how this brilliant twist shook up the show's status quo.
33:27I trusted you.
33:31I was just doing my job.
33:32Good job.

33:48Number 1. Jack's scenes are flash-forwards.
33:53Lost.
33:54Do you know anything about me?
33:58Do you have any idea what I've been through?
34:03Since Lost begins with people getting stranded on an island, the show used flashbacks to show us their lives before the crash.
34:09So, when we saw a series of scenes about a depressed Jack in the city, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary.
34:16But everything changed when it was revealed that these story beats take place after he leaves the island.
34:22The implication that Jack would escape and meet up with fellow survivor Kate was game-changing.
34:35Not only did this twist make us rethink past events, it also opened the door for the show to play with time.
34:41While Lost had many great turns, the Jack flash-forward reveal is the main plot twist we always go back to.
34:49We have to go back!
35:00Is there a shocking TV twist post-2000 we forgot?
