** Also, in the Season 3 finale, {{spoiler|Sylar basically gets his mind rewritten to make him think he's really Nathan Petrelli, after the real Nathan is killed.}} This being ''Heroes'', there is pretty much no way that this doesn't go south.
* ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'':
** In the episode "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_the_Bottle_<!-- 28Angel_episode29%28Angel_episode%29 Spin the Bottle]]", a spell mentally regresses several characters back to their teens, leaving them with no memories of each other. Angel, upon reverting to his mortal identity as Liam, even forgets that he's a vampire! While the others are upset about waking up in a strange place and being inexplicably aged into adults, centuries-old Angel is more freaked out by automobiles and his sudden lack of Irish accent. -->
** At the end of the fourth season, Angel strikes a deal to magically erase all events related to his son Connor from the minds of his friends and Connor himself. Connor's new, implanted memories are of a suburban human childhood with a [[Muggle]] foster family (who also had their memories altered), rather than one spent in a hell dimension as the mortal son of two vampires. It's even implied that the spell retroactively alters reality to support this new history.
*** In a clever aversion of the standard amnesia plot, when everyone's memories are restored, Connor does ''not'' revert to his previous unstable persona. It turns out that a pleasant childhood was just what he needed, and having both sets of memories leaves him with his original warrior skills and a newfound emotional stability.
