When characters somehow recover quickly from traumatic experiences such as:
- abuse (i.e., bullying, parental abuse and neglect, relationships),

- the death of their loved ones,
- their lives falling apart,
- shocking secrets, etc.
This may be because characters had little time to relax and reflect, as the series continues the plot forward and returns to the status quo like nothing had happened.
